A heartfelt video of a Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) student appealing to a statue of the university’s founder, Tai Solarin, has gone viral on TikTok, highlighting the growing frustration among students over increasing tuition fees.
Standing before the statue, the student earnestly asked, “Our father, Tai Solarin, you may not know me, but I know you well. 
Our school fees are too high; I plead with you, please reduce it.”
Her appeal has struck a chord with many, reflecting the larger issue of rising educational costs amid economic challenges.
The video has prompted widespread discussion, with viewers expressing empathy and concern in the comments.
One commenter noted, “Imagine make we Dey pay 170k and freshmen should be paying almost 200k plus like a private university,” while another remarked, “Thank God am done, Baba will hear oo.”
The increasing tuition fees are a significant burden on students, raising concerns that some may resort to drastic measures to afford their education.
Many are calling on the government and school administration to address this issue, urging for policies that support accessible and affordable education to prevent students from feeling forced into difficult situations.
