This is to inform the General public most especially prospective students of Abia state University that the Governor of the state Okezie Ikpeazu has directed that the medical fee put in place by the University should be reduced with the compliance of paying N30,000 to each Abia State Student.
See announcement below;
Yesterday, I had a Town Hall meeting with students & management of Abia State University where a fee of N25,000 per student was proposed as a medical fee but slashed to N15,000 to help ABSU put in place adequate measures to protect the soon to resume students from COVID-19 on all the students & their parents.
I’ve directed the immediate scrapping of the “pandemic prevention fee” by the school management. Our government will now go ahead to pay N30,000 to each Abia student in the institution as further support to them, their parents, and guardians in this very difficult moment of the economic downturn caused by the global health crisis.
Let me also add that we are proud of the progress made by the institution in the past 5 years and will continue to support them
