All applicants must also pay N5,715 for the admission form. The payment for the admission form was to be paid in other banks.

The group claimed the payment would increase the bank’s financial strength.

Besides, they said the school’s decision to use the bank smacked off “a gradual Christianisation of the state structures”.
