EKITI STATE University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti has discountenanced a report suggesting that the university management has imposed an additional fee of #49,000.00 on its students.
EKSU in a press statement signed by the Head, Directorate of Information & Corporate Affairs. Bode Olofinmuagun explained that the trending news tagged “Digital Training Isonu #Say No To Extortion” is alleging the university management of extortion.
“It is to be clarified that the EKSU management is not aware of the so-called illegal fee and has commenced an investigation to get to the root of the matter.
“For the sake of emphasis, the illegal fee is not one of the requirements for the ongoing revalidation of studentship exercise. As such no student should pay the unauthorized fee.
“Students of the university should disregard the fake news and go about their normal academic activities”.
