"Nigerian Students at Adeleke University Face Hardship Despite High Tuition Fees Some students of Adeleke University, a private institution owned by the Adeleke family, have taken to social media to express their grievances about the deplorable living and learning conditions on campus. The students, who pay tuition fees ranging from ₦2.5 million to ₦3 million annually, claim that the university fails to provide basic amenities such as water and electricity. In a video circulating online, a student alleged that despite the high fees, the university's facilities are inadequate. The student expressed frustration at the situation, saying that students are treated like animals. They also claimed that the school's food services and medical facilities are substandard, making it difficult for students to attend classes and carry out daily activities. According to the student, many students are afraid to speak out about the issues for fear of disciplinary action. The student alleged that if they dare to complain openly, they risk being expelled. This fear has led to a culture of silence among students, who are forced to endure the hardship in silence. The student, in a desperate call for help, appealed to Nigerian singer Davido, whose father Adedeji Adeleke is the founder of the university, to intervene. They begged Davido to talk to his father about the issues, saying "Davido please talk to your dad." This appeal highlights the trust that the students have placed in Davido, hoping that he can use his influence to bring about change. The situation at Adeleke University raises questions about the accountability of private universities in Nigeria. While the high tuition fees paid by students are a major source of revenue for the university, it is the students who suffer the consequences of poor facilities and inadequate services. The case of Adeleke University serves as a reminder of the need for private universities to prioritize the welfare of their students."
