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.
"Officially, I suspend my protest base on agreement we both signed that the school will refund me 6000 Euro to me within five working days and I forfeited 550 Euro to the university. Myself, School lawyer and Respectable Mr John Godson endorsed the agreement statement," he wrote.

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.
