The acting vice chancellor of Kwara State University(KWASU), Malete, Prof Shaykh-Luqman Jimoh, has said the institution will not increase tuition fees even in the face of the present economic realities.
Prof. Jimoh described the state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s resolve to maintain the same fees payable by the students of the institution as an act of visionary leadership.
Announcing this at the inauguration of the 7th students union of the university, the vice chancellor said the governor made the decision to ensure that people of the state continue to have access to qualitative tertiary education.
Jimoh noted that the current economic realities where many institutions were increasing fees students would have added to the burden of parents and sponsors of students.
He, therefore, urged the students to reciprocate the goodwill of the governor by conducting themselves peacefully and making optimal use of the opportunity of schooling at the institution.
He congratulated the new executive, saying they had been entrusted with a significant responsibility.
“Your roles are pivotal in representing and advocating for the interests of our diverse and vibrant student body. The university community has placed its trust in your ability to guide and lead, and it is your duty to fulfil this mandate with the utmost dedication and integrity.
“I want to assure you that the management is committed to supporting you throughout your tenure. We stand ready to provide the necessary assistance, guidance, and resources that may be required to ensure the success of your leadership, “ he stated.
