IMPORTANT NOTICE TO 200-LEVEL UNILORITES ON GSE 202 TEXTBOOK

Smart Unilorites,

In accordance with our publication dated September 29, 2024, regarding our collective and relentless efforts to reduce school charges, we stated that "there will be no hidden charges at either the departmental or faculty level, and there will be value for money paid with respect to student welfare services."

This notice informs the student populace that NO FEES are expected to be paid by 200-level students under any guise, as all fees due to TEC have been paid alongside school charges.

Concerned students are encouraged to disregard any notification requiring payment for GSE 202 textbooks or any practical manual/textbooks as a prerequisite for writing examination.

Welcome to April, 2025! May this month bring you closer to your dreams, surround you with love, and bless you beyond your expectations.

Wishing you a fantastic month ahead—Happy New Month!
