He said: “Our students are owing N2 billion being outstanding tuition fee yet to be paid into the university’s coffers.”

“As part of the ways to recover the debt, the university is going to generate institutional e-mails to all students where we can interface. But if you are owing, there is no way you can interface with lecturers. We are using this as Online and physical teaching methodologies. You can’t interact with your lecturers or supervisors either for lecture or seminar as a debtor.”

“We are appealing to parents to please pay for their children to help our financial situation”.
