Following the pleas from students, parents, guardians and well meaning citizens of the country, the reparation fee to be paid by students has been reviewed downward to six thousand five hundred naira (N6,500.00), instead of ten thousand five hundred naira (N10,500.00) earlier announced.
According to statement signed by the Deputy Registrar Information and Public Relations, Ajibade Olubunmi, the University has also decided that pre-degree students and students of the University who are on Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) for the second semester of 2011/2012 are excluded from the payment of the reparation fee.
