As the 2024/2025 first semester examinations begin in ESUT on Monday, March 3rd, the Management of the institution has warned that students who failed to pay their school fees and carry out course registration will not be allowed to sit for the examinations.

The Registrar of the university, Mr Ambrose Ugwu who handed the warning in a circular issued on Thursday, said that only students who paid the prescribed school and sundry fees and carried out their course registrations, would be allowed to write the examinations and directed staff to ensure full compliance.
