Federal Universities Remain Tuition-Free – Presidency Insists
The Presidency has said that despite the hike in ancillary fees at several universities nationwide, tuition remains free in Federal Universities.
This comes barely five days after Federal Unity Colleges increased the school fees for new students from N45,000 to N100,000.
This was contained in a statement titled “Federal Universities Remain Tuition-free”, signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake on Wednesday.
The Presidency declared that “For the avoidance of doubts, federal universities in Nigeria remain tuition-free”.
While acknowledging the rise in fees in federal universities in the country, the presidency insisted that these are ancillary fees and do not affect tuition.
