While students of the University of Ibadan continue to express their disagreement over the ban on cooking in hostels, their parents have, however, called on the management of the university to increase hostel fee, saying that the present fee of N14,000 is too cheap. They added that such increase should be minimal.
The parents made this position known during the Parents’ Forum organised by the university on Wednesday to discuss with parents, sponsors and guardians on the challenges facing the institution. The meeting, which took place at the Trenchard Hall in the university, was well attended and a unanimous decision was reached that in order to tackle the deplorable condition in the hostels, there was the need to increase accommodation fee.
