A Nigerian man, Henry Omoregie, has shared an official tuition fee receipt from a state university in 1987, showcasing the remarkably affordable cost of education at that time. The receipt in question, dated 1987, pertains to the Rivers State University of Science and Technology. Astonishingly, the tuition fee for the entire session was a mere 340 Naira.
The small tuition fee from back then has stirred up feelings of nostalgia and made people reflect on just how much tuition costs have changed over the years. Omoregie, who unveiled the receipt on a Friday, pointed out that during the same period, the tuition fee at Federal universities across the country stood at a mere 10 Naira. He wrote; “340 Naira only. Federal Universities tuition fee was 10 naira only during the same epoch.” See below;
