The acting Vice-Chancellor of Kwara State University, Malete, Prof Shaykh-Luqman Jimoh, has said there will be no hike in the tuition fees.
This decision, Jimoh said, was in line with the state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s determination to maintain the same school fees payable by the students of the institution.
Jimoh, who disclosed this at the inauguration of the 7th Student Union Government of the university, added that the governor decided to ensure that the people of the state continued to have access to qualitative tertiary education.
The university vice-chancellor noted that the current economic reality where many institutions were increasing fees payable by the students would have added to the burden of parents and sponsors of KWASU students.
He, therefore, urged the students to reciprocate the goodwill of the state governor by conducting themselves peacefully and making optimal use of the opportunity of schooling at the institution.
The VC also congratulated the new executives, saying that they have been entrusted with a significant responsibility.
“Your roles are pivotal in representing and advocating for the interests of our diverse and vibrant student body,” he said.
“The university community has placed its trust in your ability to guide and lead, and it is your duty to fulfill this mandate with the utmost dedication and integrity.
“As the Acting Vice-Chancellor of Kwara State University, I want to assure you that the management is committed to supporting you throughout your tenure. We stand ready to provide the necessary assistance, guidance, and resources that may be required to ensure the success of your leadership, ” he stated.
