Nigerian Student reclaims 6,000 Euro from a European university

After seven days of protesting, a Nigerian student Adedeji Sunday Akintay reclaimed 6,000 euro from a Polish university.

A member of the Polish parliament of Nigerian origin, John Godson, mediated a resolution of the conflict between the University and the student.

It was agreed that Adedeji will receive 6,000 euro within five days and Polonia University will retain 550 euro as transaction costs.

Adedeji announced the end of his protest today on a Facebook page he launched to cover the sit-in.

Adedeji was accepted to Polonia University in Częstochowa, Poland, last year. In July he paid a tuition fee of 6,650 euro for a two-year Master's programme but could not commence the studies because he was denied a Polish visa. 

He asked the University to return the money, but the institution insisted that it had no ground to make a reimbursement.

After several attempts to get the money back, Adedeji set up a tent near the University on January 29 and said he would keep protesting until he got the repaid.

Adedeji will continue his education in a university in a neighbouring Lithuania.
