However, this announcement has raised concerns among some students, who view the fee as prohibitively high. A 300-level pharmacy student, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed, "The N30,000 per course is too much, especially for those of us with multiple courses to resit."

Another student stated, "I can't even tell my parents about this, and I have four courses to resit. I don't know what to do at the moment, maybe give up on life. I know it's my fault that I scored below 50 in the exam, but N30,000 is too much in this economy."
Efforts are being made by student leaders to engage with the university management on this issue, though as of the time of this report, no official statement has been provided by the university regarding these concerns.
