"Tuition fee went higher when I was admitted for my Masters in 1992, still it was affordable. Below 2 thousand Naira and all fees were paid!"

"Dollar wise, it hasn't changed much. Multiply that by 1000, voila. 1000% inflation. We are finished."
Sammie Sam said:

"Presently, fees for new entrants Micro biology Uniport, one hundred and ninety three thousand naira (193,000.00). Then you start to talk about other levies, including sexxual harassment levy to be paid by only female students. God help us."
