It was widely reported earlier this week across some news media outlets that the Federal Government had increased tuition fees in federal universities in the country.

These reports are inaccurate and not correct.

We are aware that some universities have in recent weeks announced increase in the amount payable by students on sundry charges.

However, the fact remains and we have confirmed that these are discretionary charges by each university for hostel accommodation, registration, laboratory and other charges. They are not tuition fees.

Authorities of these universities even made this fact clear enough in explaining the rationale behind these new fees.

For avoidance of doubts, federal universities in Nigeria remain tuition-free.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains committed to his promise of ensuring that every Nigerian, regardless of the economic situation of their parents, have access to quality tertiary education.

In addition to the Students' Loans Scheme, under the Student Loans Bill signed into law by President Tinubu last month, which will go into implementation ahead of the next academic session in September, the Federal Government will also strengthen other mechanisms to support indigent students.

Parts of the government's plans to make sure all diligent students complete their education on time, notwithstanding their parents' financial situation, include work-study, merit-based scholarships and grants.

A lizard that sniffs the white substance & beat it's Chest. A drug induced confusionist spewing bukum.

The fool doe not even understand the workings of an economy.. "Tuition fees remains" bla bla...

He refused to accept responsibility on behalf of his drug Master that under the stolen mandate of the drug Baron, & town hall "Iragbiji" foolish policies, that everything has gone up which directly or indirectly affects anything & everything one can imagine

Empty headed gaze"lle garan"gaja thieves

It's like Nigerian Police stations claiming bail is free...well, tertiary education in Nigeria isn't free; that's a better truth than hiding under technicalities with tuition being free.

It's actually true. Below is the school fees of UNILAG for the session that begins this September. Tuition is nil. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Tuition should not be free. Why should govt pay to train students then the students Japa. We are training workers for the west. I would have a policy of free tution and paid. Any student that uses the free tuition route, is not allowed to Japa for 7 years post NYSC.

audio free tution. Tinubu is a scam
