Ekiti 2022: Exorbitant EKSU fees show APC’s insensitivity, says PDP guber candidate, Kolawole
Ekiti State PDP governorship candidate, Bisi Kolawole, has described the high fees being paid at the Ekiti State University as a sign of insensitivity by the All Progressives Congress government.
He accused the Kayode Fayemi-led administration of not considering the plight of the people.
“Asking students to pay N78,000 for convocation was the height of insensitivity by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government to the plight of the people in the State,” Kolawole said.
“This is not the time to inflict more financial pains on the people by charging as high as N78,000 for convocation. Not even when there is no guarantee of employments for the students being asked to pay such high fee for convocation.”
He however promised to improve infrastructures across educational institutions in the state if elected governor.
“Education is our pride in Ekiti, it is our heritage and EKSU should be the envy of all tertiary institutions in Nigeria and we will surely ensure that.
“EKSU under us will not be the one in which unreasonable fees will be charged. Rather, it will be a university where the pockets of our people are considered, with government playing its fatherly roles,” he added.
