Mar 24, 2026 at 6:41 PMThis is disadvantage to regional campuses that started lectures at the end of January 2026. If this notice is applicable to regional campuses it's a recipe for trouble.

Mar 24, 2026 at 6:45 PMGood day Prezo,
I am writing on behalf of many Year 4 students regarding the current examination schedule. While we appreciate the update, a lot of us are finding it very difficult to raise the required fees within this short period.
We humbly plead with the Student Union Government to kindly engage the administration on our behalf for possible consideration especially to extend the deadline to the 15th, or provide flexible payment arrangements to support affected students.
We are committed to our studies and examinations, but the financial challenge is a serious concern for many.
We would truly appreciate your understanding and assistance prezo
Thank you.

Mar 24, 2026 at 8:01 PMDear Mr President, I hope this message finds you well.
With regards to the venue, it's a big blow on our faces . If we can't even take exams at IPAM then what's the reason for those buildings.
Students from FBC, Njala, and other universities always make mention of the following.
Orientation FBC,
Matriculation FBC,
Graduation FBC.
Now exams FBC again?
Mr President as intelligent, gentle, and competent as you are, I humbly plead that you intervene with regards to the venue.
I don't want the mockery to look real
Thanks 🫡
