The. Management of Ekiti State University, Ado - Ekiti, after due consultation and negotiation with its Students' Union met to review the situation surrounding the fee regime payable by freshers for the 2024/2025 academic session.

At its meeting held on Monday, 25th November, 2024, Management also considered the concerns of parents and stakeholders, including the students on the matter. Additionally, Management took cognizance of the economic realities in the country with a view to further reducing the burden of parents in the payment of the fees.

Accordingly, the EKSU Management decided to allow fresh students to pay a minimum of 70% of the approved fees for the first semester, while the balance of 30% is paid during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic session.

However, parents who can afford and wish to pay the fees in full at once are encouraged to do so without any delay. It should be noted that the university Management remains committed to students' welfare, hence, consultations will continue in this regard with particular attention to how EKSU students can benefit from the Federal Government's NELFUND scheme.

The University is also consulting with relevant stakeholders in the EKSU project on the possibility of rolling out programmes capable of alleviating the likely attendant financial burden of the new fee regime on prospective indigent students.

Management will continue to ensure the promotion of robust relationships with all and sundry in an effort to make teaching and learning environment conducive for its students.
