In other news… A student at Veritas University has raised alarm over inadequate facilities at the private institution, highlighting that students are struggling without electricity and running water despite paying hefty tuition fees.
In a video that went viral on X (formerly Twitter), shared by @AsakyGRN, the student revealed that his program costs ₦1.9 million, while other courses are priced as high as ₦3 million.
He expressed frustration that, despite the steep fees, basic necessities such as electricity and water are not being provided.
He stated:
“I’m attending a school that charges ₦1.9 million for my course, and some programs go up to ₦3 million. Yet, we don’t even have electricity in this private university. Water has also been unavailable for days, and nobody is speaking up. With over 7,000 students here, just calculate ₦1.9 million times 7,000 there’s no excuse for this lack of basic services.”
The student emphasized that the poor infrastructure affects all 7,000-plus students, many of whom have had to seek alternative ways to access electricity and water, while the school administration remains unresponsive.
He called on university officials to take immediate action and provide the essential services students are paying for, labeling the current situation as unacceptable.
The post has sparked widespread outrage online, with Nigerians urging private universities to ensure adequate facilities when charging millions in tuition. Some have proposed withholding fees until improvements are made, while others expressed solidarity with the affected students.
