Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has weighed in on the controversies surrounding the increment in school fees of the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

Naija News recalls that the management of UNILAG had increased fees for undergraduate students in the institution.

This was contained in a statement dated July 20, 2023, by the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, UNILAG branch following a meeting with the top management staff.

The students of the institution previously paid N19,000 but the management has fixed new fees at N190,250 for students studying medicine while for courses that require laboratory and studio, students are to pay N140,250.
