The management of the University of Ilorin has described as “an unnecessary hair-splitting”, the outburst of a faceless group over the issue of deadline for payment of tuition fees in the university.
In a press statement by the Head of its Corporate Affairs Unit, Mr Kunle Akogun, the university decried the attempt of the group “to whip up unnecessary sentiment over a well-known policy of the University of Ilorin”.
Akogun said the institution’s commitment to rules and regulations is one of the secrets behind its well-acclaimed academic excellence, stable calendar and zero-vice status.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the University of Ilorin, known for its strict adherence to rules of good administration, has a well-laid down academic calendar, which it follows very strictly and all our students and staff have keyed-in into this culture.
“At the beginning of every semester, deadlines are set for the payment of school fees, at the expiration of which the portal would be closed. Because the management is aware of the challenges faced by many parents in recent times, the portal was re-opened thrice, since the beginning of this session to allow students who could not pay their fees within the earlier stipulated times to pay. But the portal could not remain open for ever, and it had to be closed for the last time with the approach of the Semester examinations.
“It is therefore baffling that anybody would raise unnecessary dust over a pure administrative procedure aimed at ensuring orderliness. “The university management sympathises with the few students who, for one reason or the other, could not pay their fees within the permissible time-frame. But the laid-down rule must take its course if we are to avoid a descent into anomie.
