The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has issued the University of Lagos (UNILAG) a 2-day ultimatum to reverse the recent hike in tuition fees by the management of the institution.
In a statement endorsed by UNILAG registrar Olakunle Makinde, the University has stopped admission into two departments, namely Biochemistry and Petroleum & Gas Engineering.
Though the university did give the reason for the action, it advised admission seekers to note that there would be no intake into the programmes starting from the 2024–2025 session.
“All prospective UTME and Direct Entry candidates for the 2024 admission should please note that the University of Lagos will not run two programmes namely: Biochemistry and Petroleum & Gas Engineering.
“Hence, there will be no admission into the two programmes for the 2024/2025 academic session and until further notice.
“Candidates are hereby advised not to choose any of these programmes, and those who have done so should change to other programmes.”
