REVIEW OF TRANSPORT FARE AND SITTING ARRANGEMENT

To address the hike in transport fare from University Park to Post Office/Challenge, the price and sitting arrangement have been reviewed.

Therefore, the transport fare from Post office/Challenge to the University Central Park and vice versa has been reverted to TWO HUNDRED NAIRA (N200) only as against the N250 being charged by the bus drivers while the sitting arrangement will now be four each on the back seats and two at the front seat as against the initial arrangement.

This review is expected to take effect from this morning, Wednesday 30th November, 2022, and we expect total compliance by the drivers and students. Also note that this is a temporary arrangement as another review meeting will hold when the price of fuel might have stabilised.

UPDATE ON THE SUDDEN INCREASE IN TRANSPORT FARE BY KOROPE DRIVERS

Sequel to the sudden increase of transport fare by Korope drivers in the early hours of today, the Union officials met with the drivers' union at the instance of the Student Affairs Unit.

As much as we are aware of the economic situation, scarcity and price of fuel in the country, the meeting resolved that the transportation arrangements should be reviewed.

Therefore, the transport fare from Terminus to the University central park and vice versa shall remain ONE HUNDRED NAIRA (N100) only as against the N150 being charges today, 28/11/2022, while the sitting arrangement will now be four each at back and middle seats and two at the front seat (4-4-2) as against the 3-3-2.

This review is expected to take effect from tomorrow morning, Tuesday 29th November, 2022, and we expect total compliance by the drivers and students. Also note that this is a temporary arrangement as another review meeting will hold when the price of fuel might have stabilised.

UPDATE ON FRESH STUDENTS REGISTRATION

Henceforth, fresh students are hereby required to do course registration before payment of school charges. The students are expected to select the normal courses as appeared on the University portal. They should also note there will be room for correction of any error made during the course registration when the session begins.

However, those who have paid without course registration are charged to remain calm as they will be allowed to do that upon resumption.

The 'invalid login parameters' issue that some admitted students are facing is due to their failure to upload the required documents for online clearance in due time. Affected students are strongly advised to visit the admissions office.
