The National President, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, has urged the Federal Government to review the hike in fees in its schools, and find a safe landing for the nation’s future leaders.

Osodeke who believed that the hike in fees could be counterproductive, proffered that the best way out to issues was to adopt holistic approach, noting that policies should be people centered.

Recall that the University of Lagos was the latest of public universities to increase its fees from N25,000 to almost N200,000, depending on the programme.

The university had announced an adjustment in the obligatory fees for both returning and new students of the institution, with effect from September 1, for the 2023/2024 academic session, and the likes of Bayero University Kano, Benin and Abuja among others, have all done the same.

According to the university, the adjustment in fees was in view of the prevailing economic realities, for it to be able to meet its obligations to its students, staff and municipal service providers among others.
