The management of the Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi, has dismissed reports that it has increased tuition fees in the institution.
This is as the university’s management said that it is currently in consultation with stakeholders and will make information public as soon as it arrives at a decision.
The ATBU management spoke in response to a new fees template for students, which has been circulating online.
Newspot reports that the purported increment, as seen on social media read: “Returning students: will pay #69,700 as their new school fees. Fresh students: are expected to pay #79,700 as their school fees.
“The Faculty of Environmental and Engineering (400L) students: Students in these faculties are required to pay N39,700 for one semester, reflecting their unique program duration.
” Industrial Training (IT) Students other than faculty of engineering and environmental will pay N20,000 for IT registration.
“The Medical College Students: Returning students are expected to pay: N130,000 and N150,000 for fresh students.”
But the University in a statement issued on Tuesday by its Directorate of Information, Zailani Bappa, while debunking the hike in tuition fees said “Our attention has been drawn to a new school fee template circulating on social media, allegedly from the Students’ Union Government of the University.
“The said information is not an official release from the management of the university.
“Parents, students, and other stakeholders are hereby cautioned to disregard the purported announcement, which is a violation of due process.”
