UNILAG refutes claims of additional fees to earlier increment

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has refuted claims making the rounds that the institution has slammed additional unauthorised charges to its earlier increments.

The spokesperson of UNILAG, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, on Friday in a statement said the claims are ‘unsubstantiated’.

“These completely untrue and misleading claims misrepresent the facts, and aim to misinform the public into believing that there has been another adjustment of fees,” Alaga-Ibraheem said.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the University of Lagos Management hereby categorically states that this is not the case.

“Management is not unmindful of the prevailing economic realities and, as of the date of this disclaimer, has not issued any other notice of increment apart from the “Adjusted Obligatory Fees for New and Returning Undergraduate Students” published in its Information Flash News Bulletin (Vol. MMXXIII, No. 80) and official website on Friday, July 21, 2023,” she said.

According to the spokesperson, the management of UNILAG understands the importance of accurate, verifiable and timely information.

She said the school authorities is concerned about the attempt to spread false narratives that undermine its integrity.

Alaga-Ibraheem implored all members of the university community and general public, especially students and their families to rely on the official communication channels of the University for announcements, notice, or update regarding fees, policies, or any other information relating to the University.

“Please be assured of the university’s dedication to uphold its mandate, and commitment to ensuring that students get the best learning experience,” she stated.
