Candidates applying for ission into Akwa Ibom State University are to pay 10,500 as PUTME Screening Fees for the 2017/2018 ission year.
A social media who is seeking ission after scoring 260 in the JAMB UME (exams) shared his invoice for the amount to be paid.

Other s were left in shock and disbelieved as one wondered if “person no go go school again”.

It can be recalled that the Federal Government in 2016 fixed the screening fees at N2,500 but schools have been defying the directives for instance Delta State University who were the first for the 2017/2018 session to peg the fee at N5,000.

The method to circumvent the directives as seen on the invoice is to charge the “Screening Exercise Fees” at FG approved N2,500, then charge N7,500 as charges.

Akwa Ibom State University may be the only public university with the highest Post UTME screening fee at N10,500 and it is really sad considering that the State receives the highest allocation from the Federal Government and it is really lacking in human capacity building and government functions are carried out by Consultants engaged from outside the State.

If 85 students are to be itted in department and if when cutoff was 200 20 000 applied for it now that cutoff is 120 50 000 multiplied by 10 500. Kai. See me salivating over VC money..

Now you have what you wanted!

You see these states sef. Everybody will be shouting Fed Govt all the time. One would have expected the rich Akwa Ibom state to charge intending students an amount that is not too much.

The FG even advised schools to charge 2,500 and they still found a way to charge an exorbitant 10,500.

Hmm
