Students accuse UNILAG of extortion
Some students of the University of Lagos, Akoka , have accused the institution of extortion.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the institution at the beginning of the 2018/2019 academic session introduced a GST material fee for all students for the compulsory course. “Paying the fee for some of us is a big challenge. While I have paid mine, many of my colleagues could not pay and they were not even permitted for exams,” a student said.
The students also accused the institution of breaching the law of the university which mandates that students must be represented in committees on any issue that has to do with their affairs.A student said: “The most ridiculous thing about this fee is that students only paid the fee to get access to an online platform where lecture notes of the GST were shared. So, there was no form of hard copy book that we were asked to pay for.
