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 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.
