No going back on new fees, VC insists
When contacted, the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof Adesegun Fatusi, said there was no going back on the new fees schedule.
Fatusi said: “The institution is committed to offering quality education and this position would not be compromised.
“The parents have an option. Their children don’t need to study here. Other medical schools are available.
“We run this school almost free of tuition fees. This school is a specialised school and we cannot continue with the previous fees.”
