By Akinwale Kasali

Students of the Tai Solarin University of Education, TASUED, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State can now heave a sigh of relief. This followed the slashing of the Tuition Fee by the School Management. It was slashed  by 40 Percent.

The Students had staged a protest following the astronomical increase in the Tuition Fee by the School Management.

The Students queried the motive behind the increment at a time the Nation is experiencing economic downturn.

However, the Management of the Institution has given the students the grace for installment payment.

They  can now pay twice across both semesters.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oluwole Banjo, who disclosed this on Wednesday, stated that the move was to ease the financial burden of students and their parents during this harsh economic period.

The VC explained that, “With the development, students who were initially asked to pay N260,000 tuition fees will now pay N148,000 for returning students in Education, while their counterparts in Science will pay N158,000.

“New students in Science will pay N180,000, while those in Education will pay N170,000”.

He, however, disclosed that 60 per cent of the fee must be paid at the start of the first semester, while the balance is to be paid at the beginning of the second semester.

Giving a breakdown of graduating students for its forthcoming combined 13th, 14th and 15th convocation ceremonies, the VC said 5,153 would graduate out of which 18 obtained first-class degrees, adding that the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Tunde Lemo will be honoured with a Doctorate during the Convocation Ceremony.
