The management of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has denied charging students N50,000 for online classes.
The University had approved January 25 as the resumption date for academic activities.
Head of Media Unit of the University, Mrs Olufadeke Akinleye, however said the institution would commence online classes on the announced date due to the second wave of COVID-19.
But a few days after the institution released its revised academic calendar, a report surfaced online that the students are expected to pay N50,000 for classes.
A press statement posted on the school’s official website titled: “DISCLAIMER: UNILAG RESUMPTION IS ABSOLUTELY FREE” reads; “The Management of University of Lagos wishes to inform all students, parents and the general public, that a notice on the internet purporting that returning students of the University of Lagos are to pay a sum of N50,000 for online lectures and examinations, is FALSE and should be disregarded.”
