The Vice Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko, Professor Igbekele Ajibefun has revealed that there is no going back on the issue of the tuition fee.
The VC made this clear in an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ECHO after the Matriculation ceremony, last Thursday. 5,305 students were matriculated into the university.
Recall that the tuition fee saga has rocked AAUA than any other institutions in Southwest causing two 'shutdown protest' by the students.
He explained that: "The tuition fee issue was concluded more than a year ago, a set had graduated with it. We all agreed in the office of the Governor where he reduced the fee and the students leader who represented the entire students agreed, thanked the Governor for reducing it to that level."
Professor Ajibefun said "It is impossible to ask for reduction after one year, it means by coming years another agitation will come up again. You can't get quality education without making some sacrifices in terms of payment."
The Ikale-born Professor uged parents to make good investment on the education of their child.
" We encourage our parents to make efforts to support their children, education is a good investment," Professor Ajibefun added.
