Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida University, Niger State’s (IBBU) Lapai, has increased the school fees payable by all categories of its undergraduate students.
The Students Union Government, SUG of IBBU has equally vowed that its students would not pay the new fees.

Under the new arrangement, fresh indigenous students are to pay N55,300 while non-indigene counterparts were to pay N96,300. And their foreign counterparts will pay N137,500.
The returning indigenous students will pay N32,500 while non-indigene counterparts will N65,500. And the foreign students were now to pay N108,000.
