Federal Universities remain tuition free – Presidency
The Presidency, has maintained that federal universities in the country remain tuition-free.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake today.
He maintained that what were considered as tuition fees were actually discretionary charges by each university for hostel accommodation, registration, laboratory and other charges.
He, however, said the Students’ Loans Scheme, under the Student Loans Bill signed into law by President Tinubu last month, would go into implementation ahead of the next academic session in September.
He added that the Federal Government would also strengthen other mechanisms to support indigent students.
Recall that the management of the University of Lagos, UNILAG had recently increased fees for undergraduate student from 19,000 naira to new fees of 190,250 naira for students studying medicine and 140,250 naira for courses that require laboratory and studio.
