The nation's federal universities, according to the presidency, continue to be tuition-free.

Recently, some federal universities and unity schools announced an increase in tuition costs for new and returning students.

With the rising inflation and skyrocketing cost of living brought on by some of the federal government's recent economic policies, the development sparked outrage on social media platforms.

Dele Alake, President Bola Tinubu's special adviser on special duties, communications, and strategy, claimed in a statement on Wednesday that some universities' increases in tuition are "discretionary charges for hostel accommodation, registration, laboratory, and other charges." They do not constitute tuition.



The Federal Government had raised tuition rates at the nation's federal universities, according to numerous news outlets earlier this week. These stories are false and untrue, the statement claims.





We are aware that some universities recently announced an increase in the amount that students must pay for various fees.



"However, the fact still stands—and we have confirmed it—that these are optional fees levied by each university for things like dormitory lodging, registration, lab fees, and other expenses. The fees are not tuition.







"Authorities of these universities even sufficiently stated this fact when describing the justification for these new fees. To clear up any confusion, federal universities in Nigeria continue to be tuition-free.



"President Bola Ahmed Tinubu continues to be dedicated to keeping his promise to make sure that every Nigerian has access to high-quality tertiary education, regardless of their parents' economic circumstances.

Even tho, Tinubu doesn't promise us this, but e still do because of the love he has every citizen of Nigeria.

When I voted Tinubu, I knew I don't do mistake.

Now that tuition fee is free, will the people who are always eager to blame Government for their misfortune see that Tinubu is cooking something good behind the camera.

Now our education is going to be standby, the Children of poor will now be recieving high quality education.
