No federal university is allowed to charge tuition fees — FG



The Federal Government has insisted that no federal university is allowed to charge tuition fees in the country.

Mr David Adejo, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr David Adejo, disclosed this on Tuesday, at a public hearing by the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on student loans in Abuja.

Adejo said that the recent increase in charges by federal universities in the country was unfortunate.

“What they collect is charges to cover the cost of accommodation, ICT, and power, among others. It is the Governing Councils of the Universities that have the power to approve such charges for them.

“The only university that increased charges after the signing of the student loans act is the University of Lagos.

“They came to the Ministry with a proposal to increase their charges because all Governing Councils were dissolved and we gave them approval.

“Immediately that was done, there was a resolution from the House stopping the increase in fees and the President also gave a directive stopping any increase in fees and that is where it is, even though several others have brought their proposal,” he said.
