Redeemer’s University Raises Tuition Fees Amid Economic Pressures

Prof. Shadrach Akindele, the Vice-Chancellor of Redeemer’s University in Ede, Osun State, announced an increase in tuition fees due to prevailing economic realities and a new salary structure approved by the Federal Government. He explained that the rising cost of living has significantly raised the operational costs for universities, making it challenging to maintain quality services without adjusting fees.

Akindele emphasized that private universities must align with the federal salary structure to retain staff, as failure to do so could lead to staff migration to federal institutions. The university is set to hold its 18th convocation, graduating a total of 2,471 students, including 2,030 undergraduates and 441 postgraduates.

The convocation lecture will be delivered by Erinle Adeola, CEO of A’s Consulting, alongside an award ceremony recognizing significant contributions to the university community. Akindele also reported that the university secured full approval for ten new undergraduate programs in the past academic year.
