Subsidy: Wesley University slashes tuition fee by 50% 11th September 2023
The management of a faith-based university, the Wesley University, Ondo town in Ondo State, has announced the reduction of its tuition fees by 50 per cent.
The institution said the development was part of its efforts towards contributing to the development of humankind.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Samuel Obeka, disclosed this on Monday, in a statement, made available to our correspondent.
According to him, the 50 per cent discount in tuition fees is for some of the programmes in the departments of Natural and Applied Sciences, Education, Agriculture, Finance and investment and Economics of the institution.
The VC explained that the affected programmes are very significant to national development but are not well-subscribed to, by students due to their “high tuition fees and assumed abstract or ambiguous nature.”
He said , “The gesture was implemented to encourage parents and guardians to allow their children and wards to enjoy the benefits and endowments inherent in the institution. This is also done in fulfilment of the promise made at the inception of our university to give opportunity to all Nigerians for professional and academic development, and thereby, contribute to national development.
