Canada-based student reportedly loses admission after Nigerian bank failed to process tuition

A Nigerian postgraduate student in a Canadian university has reportedly lost his admission after a popular Nigerian bank failed to process his tuition months after payment.

The tale was relayed by a Twitter user identified as Victor Babatunde who said that the misfortune had befallen his friend.

Victor said that his friend had begun the payment process of his tuition in time, about two months ago; but the bank had deducted the tuition, which was about 2.7 million naira last month, November 28.

After deducting the payment as well as other charges, Victor said that the bank didn’t process the payment and did not get the tuition across to the school, making the school rescind his friend’s admission.

He wrote:

“This is really the saddest thing I’ve heard this year 💔

So my friend’s admission has been withdrawn and cancelled after spending tens of millions of naira on his Postgraduate Studies in Canada because @gtbank and @cenbank didn’t process his last tuition after months.

He knew he had to start the payments process earlier than his other international classmates so he started the tuition payment process for his final semester in school about 2 months ago with GT Bank. Last month (November 28, 2022), GTBank deducted the tuition fee and other accompanying charges from my account (Screenshots attached). But up till this very moment, Guaranty Trust Bank has refused to process the payment and get it across to his school, which made the school withdraw and cancel his admission yesterday.”
