For many, this fee quietly accumulated into a significant amount \u2014 some graduates owed up to <strong>\u20a639,000<\/strong> by late April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The university has now hit pause on the fee in what many view as a considerate move following calls for leniency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Should Do Now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All affected graduates are strongly advised to <strong>visit the University and collect their certificates before June 2, 2025<\/strong>, to avoid further charges. After this deadline, the <strong>\u20a63,000 per week penalty will be reinstated<\/strong> and continue to accumulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a critical window of opportunity for many graduates who have delayed the collection process due to various reasons, including financial constraints or logistical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Word: Don\u2019t Miss This Grace Period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The University management describes this move as a \u201cburden-relief measure\u201d and urges all concerned individuals to take advantage of the waiver period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe listened to the voices of our alumni and their families,\u201d said Registrar Alfanla. \u201cThis temporary suspension is a gesture of goodwill \u2014 but it will not be extended beyond June 2.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For more updates and detailed instructions on how to collect your certificate, visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unilorin.edu.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Ilorin official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BOTTOM LINE<\/strong>: If you graduated from UNILORIN and haven\u2019t collected your certificate, now is the time. Avoid future charges. Act before <strong>June 2, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"https:\/\/examkits.com\/blog\/bayero-university-kano-begins-online-screening-for-newly-admitted-students-heres-what-you-need-to-know\/\">Bayero University Kano Begins Online Screening for Newly Admitted Students \u2013 Here\u2019s What You Need to Know<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Ilorin has announced a temporary suspension of the late collection penalty for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3284,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[600],"tags":[7612,12639,1957,12637,2591,12636,127,2536,2748,2200,12635,12638,3227,9295],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
