5 Ways Nigerian Universities Defraud Students (23997 Views)

October, 2014 made it 8 years I successfully graduated from the university. I still vividly some of those unnecessary fees, dues and levies we had to pay in order to obtain that 'overrated paper' called certificate  The truth is that most of these fees paid by university undergraduates are highly defrauding. I don't know if some of them still exist or if more have been added to the ones I have always known of. Here we go:1. Accreditation fee: What the heck does this mean? Instead of sincerely apologizing to me for collecting money from me as tuition fee, when the university or department I have been itted to lacks legality, how dare you turn around and ask me to fund the accreditation exercise? Nigerian universities would not use money collected as accreditation fees from students to purchase facilities that would aid academic and scholastic pursuits. The monies end up in private pockets. Prof. Ezekwe should rot in hell  2. Acceptance fee: Accepting or rejecting ission should be done simply through written letter or any other form that can act as a formal notification. Collecting 5k to 10k (don't know if that's the current fee) as acceptance fee is fraudulent! I often wonder why students pay to accept an ission offer  3. Students' Affairs dues: Another fraudulent fee! What does this department do? Students' affairs units in our universities are not relevant to the socio-economic issues students face on daily basis on campus. All through my days in the Ivory Tower, I was a fervent payer of Students' Affairs dues yet I fought all my problems myself what ever form they came. So what does our money do as dues? A student who couldn't pay medical bills was allowed to suffer, yet a fervent payer like myself. 4. Post UME forms and Scratch Cards: Why sell forms or cards when you know the capacity of the school will not be able to accommodate the teeming youths seeking for ission? This is fraudulent. Nigerian universities lower their cut-off marks just to attract desperate candidates. They need people to purchase cards and forms when in essence, these people won't even see or touch the school's matric gown for that academic session. Jambites, next time a friend tells you that Migwor University or University of Vrendo accepts 150 as cut-off mark, you might just be one of the steps on the ladder for that university to make serious money! 5. In all, selling of handouts, unnecessary and low-standard books to students, useless old rusted machines in faculties of Engineering, old and outdated computers in Computer Science dept. are all fraud! That's why we have been producing elect/elect Engineers that cannot connect lamp-holder, talk less of manufacturing wrist-watch  Pls, feel free to add yours. 54 Likes 7 Shares |

When it comes to extorting money from students... Uniuyo is second to none Imagine...the acceptance fee for UNICAL is 10k... UNIUYO is 15k. Most universities release their second ission list free of charge... but in UNIUYO you've to pay from 1k to 2k according to how late you were. After you've scaled through this hurdle and finally go for screening... much more surprises awaits you. This is why I always fantasize becoming a lecturer or working in the university. These people are unknown business gurus. 3 Likes |
