By Sodiq Adelakun

The University of Calabar (UniCal) has denied rumors of a hike in school fees, according to a statement released by the office of the institution’s Registrar, Mr Gabriel Egbe, on Saturday.

The clarification was made in response to an online report claiming that the university had increased its charges.

Egbe dismissed the news as false and suggested that it was a deliberate attempt to create chaos within the school.

“The report on some news platforms about increment in charges by the institution is false, misleading and malicious.

“It is a deliberate ploy by detractors to cause chaos in the reputable institution.

“Members of the public, as conveyed by the statement are enjoined to disregard the report as it did not emanate from the university,” he said.
