_Increment reduced by 40%_
_Students to pay fees in two instalments_
_No increment in hostel fees_
The Management of the University of Nigeria, acting on behalf of the Governing Council, has consented to students’ request that sundry charges should be increased by 60 percent instead of 100 percent increment proposed by the Council for the 2025/2026 academic session.
The decision followed constructive engagements with the Student Union Government (SUG) of both the Nsukka and Enugu Campuses.
Under the approved arrangement, both new and returning students will now pay increased 60 percent of the existing sundry charges for the 2025/2026 session, representing a 40 per cent reduction from the initial proposed 100 per cent Increment by the University’s Council.
A comprehensive schedule of the revised charges, disaggregated by faculty and level, will be released to the University community in the coming days.
The agreement was reached on Friday at a meeting between the University Management, acting on behalf of the Governing Council, and the SUG representatives, including the SUG Presidents of Nsukka and Enugu Campuses, Speakers of the Legislative Arms, and the Senate President of the SUG.
The resolution is the outcome of weeks of sustained negotiations that commenced in December 2025.
During the discussions, student representatives explained that they adjusted their earlier position of 30 percent increment in recognition of prevailing fees in comparable universities and the urgent need to upgrade infrastructure in the University of Nigeria.
