A staff of the University who craved anonymity reliably informed Abia Pulse News that “everyone, including the staff and lecturers in the school are surprised by the development”

“You know schools fees increment is a sensitive issue and before it is done, all stakeholders are usually carried along to forestall a possible breakdown of law and order, but in this case, out of the blues we just saw a memo flying up and down that fees has been increased”.

The tuition is said to have increased from N112,000 to N500,000 and hostel accommodation from N40,000, to N800,000
