Why should in the first place accept the offer whiles you know that your colleagues on the main campus are paying less.

Don't be lazy. When you go to the website you will find the current fees being charged so that should give you an idea. Lazy brain.

majority of the student don't know that, there is a great disparity between the fees paid by both campus, they only get to know more when they have already enrolled in the institutions.
the school must therefore make it clear to them the poor service they provide for the student on city campus so that they can make an informed decisions.

its quite sad you claim to be wise whiles others aren't but you have not taken the fees to know the component of the fees yourself. yet you claim you read, if you have. you will get to understand. Even the VC thinks the fees should be looked at again. you have no idea what they going through and the conditions of service they receive after the payment of fees, yet just put out trush. kindly with all due respect learn to use wisdom and do your home work well before making your insulting argument.

Inappropriate channel for a solution. Have they petitioned the University Council? Have they tried negotiations and failed at that stage? Besides, it isn't compulsory to pick up the City Campus offer. How do you expect the University to run a campus in a remote place if not for high charges? Weak Student Union! Your petition will fail bcos the speaker will refer to the Council first. He's been a lecturer before.

Negotiations have been an obsolete problem management resort in the university. The management only understands external influence and industrial actions. Do you know the number of times the council has petitioned the council prior to this unjustifiable fee rise?... Petitioning the Parliament Is no mistake at all since all the administrative channels in the university seem to be "allergic"to the solution of this headache..

"More fire" to all those involved in this struggle. All we seek from the general public is solidarity.

NO CHANNEL IS INAPPROPRIATE !!!

The authorities should have clearly or understandably explain terms and conditions before for students to apply.

If you read the application materials clearly it's there. Problem is people don't read stuff. Plain and simple.

This is not the first occurrence of an unjustifiable fee increase. Do you know the number of times the administrative channels have been exhausted concerning this "ugly" matter.

The Council has done nothing since the students of this noble campus started protesting against this "killer fees". Petitioning the parliamentary committee on fee review is no wrong step. Kudos to the Leadership of the City Campus land all other students involved in this struggle.

The students should do their homework. First you need superior aggregates to be admitted to the main campus. If you could make it to the Main Campus why did you go to the City Campus? Those students complaining should tell the world what aggregates they got. Also remember that going to the City Campus is like attending a private university. So if you are comparing fees compare them with those who attend private universities or those who go to the Main Campus as Full-fee paying students. When lecturers teach at the City Campus they are paid separately for it. It's a lie if some people say the University never tells them roughly how much it would cost. You can always check current fees on the UG website. When educated people refuse to use their brains what you get is mediocrity. Cheap people.

Business schools in all public universities now pay their own lectures hence the increment in fees. It is a government policy. Lecturers in non business programmes are paid by government.

Neither is it by force to accept admission to the City Campus. If you want to pay lower fees get aggregate 6 and apply to the Main Campus.

Lol..do u think everyone in city campus didn't get aggregate 6? Have forgotten that some the number of people admitted on main campus can reach it's limity before someone with good grades can get the chance? They didn't say the fees should be equal.

Anyone can become angry that is easy but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way that is not within everyone’s power and that is not easy.
