A Nigerian man by the name of Henry Omoregie has stirred up quite a buzz on the internet. He recently shared an official tuition fee receipt from 1987, shedding light on the remarkably affordable cost of education during that era.
This receipt, which is dated 1987, is associated with the Rivers State University of Science and Technology. What has taken many by surprise is the fact that the entire tuition fee for that academic session amounted to a mere 340 Naira.
This humble tuition fee from the late '80s has ignited feelings of nostalgia and prompted people to reflect on just how dramatically tuition costs have changed over the years. Omoregie, who chose to reveal this receipt on a Friday, highlighted the astonishing fact that during that same period, tuition fees at Federal universities throughout the country were a mere 10 Naira.
In his own words:
“340 Naira only. Federal Universities tuition fee was 10 naira only during the same epoch.”
Take a look at the images below for a glimpse into this educational time capsule:
