By Oscar OkhifoNo fewer than 5,000 students of the University of Benin risk being barred from writing the second-semester examinations scheduled to commence today for failing to pay their school charges. “The university management is in receipt of the list of students who have failed to pay their school charges despite repeated reminders. These students have also failed to subscribe to the students’ loans being provided by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND),” Bobola said. The registrar explained that all efforts to encourage the affected students to either pay their fees or access the NELFUND facility had yielded no positive response. In a similar move, the Rivers State University, Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt, had in April 2025 enforced a “no school fees, no exam” policy.
