Babcock Denies Increase In Tuition Fees! Issues Press Statement


The Management of Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun state has denied the recent claims by some students of the University that the school tuition fees of different departments for the next academic session has been increased outrageously.

In a statement released and signed by the Director, External and Community Affairs, Joshua Suleiman, the school Management has officially denied the students claims.

The statement reads in part “Our attention has been drawn to some misinformation and misinterpretation of the University’s fees as posted on some blogs. “For the avoidance of doubt, we present here the official fees of the 2013/2014 session as approved by the University Administration.” Click to continue reading.


“The average fee at BU is N630,500 and this covers Accommodation, Feeding, Tuition, Medical Insurance and Miscellaneous.

Suleiman stated that, “Law students are to pay N763,000 as against the reported N2million, Accounting is N763,000 as against the reported N1.5 million, Medicine is N2 million consolidated as against the reported N3 million and Nursing is N763,000 as against the reported N1 million”

Is Education for the Rich or Poor? - Babcock University releases school fees for next session. Students protest


Well, they are not protesting in school or complaining to their school administration...they are protesting via the media. The university just released the school fees for the next session and some of the students feel its outrageous. See it below...
1) Accounting- N1.5million
2) Nursing- N1million
3) Law- N2million
4) Medicine- N3million
5) Others- N860,000
The students are scared to protest in their school because they could get suspended. Babcock is a Christian University and claims to be a non-profit organization, so students don't understand why they have to pay such huge amounts. But here's the thing; complaining about the school fees of a private university is like complaining about the cost of a first class plane ticket or there not being Electric power in Niaja. You either take it or leave it! 

Which brings the question: Is Education in Nigeria for the Rich or the Poor?
