The National Parents and Teachers Association of the Federal Government Colleges has protested against the increase in the school fees of unity schools by the Federal Government, describing it as “commercialisation of education.”

The organisation warned that the new fees, if not reversed, would force parents to withdraw their children from the unity colleges.

The association in a communiqué read to journalists by its National President, Dr. Gabriel Nnaji, at the end of its National Executive Council meeting, said the increment from N20,000 to N75,000 was untimely and insensitive by the government.

According to him, the fee was increased on June 1 by the government.

The communiqué partly read, “The increase of school fees from about N20,000 to about N75,000 in unity colleges is most untimely and insensitive. An average Nigerian worker whose minimum wage is N18,000 and who has one or two children in the unity colleges will be unable to keep his or her child or children in the unity colleges.

“The recent increase is a negation of the policy or principle that established unity colleges which is to make basic and secondary education affordable and accessible to an average Nigerian student.”

The association therefore appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and the members of the National Assembly to compel the Federal Ministry of Education to revert to the old fee regime “as the education of Nigerian children is a right and not a privilege.”

“The association will continue to partner the Federal Ministry of Education by complementing the efforts of the ministry in the provision of basic facilities in the unity colleges,” Nnaji said.

According to him, while NAPTAFEGC appreciated the Federal Ministry of Education in making the payment of insurance levy in the unity colleges optional, the association frowns on any attempt to commercialise or make the cost of training Nigerian children in the unity colleges beyond the rich of an average Nigerian parent.

He said, “Enough budgetary provision should be adequately made and very timely released to the unity colleges to enable students to continue to compete very favourably with students of other academically sound private colleges.

“The issue of security in unity colleges must be given the deserved attention and commitment all the time. Students who have paid for books should always be made to receive them in good time and not when they are no longer needed.”

Federal University Staff did not smile to the bank as their February salaries came in slashed by half without reason.

President Muhammadu Buhari sprung a surprise at the staff of Federal Universities by slashing their salaries without prior warning nor reasons.

“We were called for an emergency meeting on Monday morning and the vice chancellor announced that our salaries have been slashed by half by the Federal Government”, a senior staff in one of the Federal Universities told The Trent.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, he added: “There was confusion when we received our pay yesterday and it was half the usual amount. Every staff in the university received half salaries for February, both senior and junior staff.

“This is a very sad development, as we all know, prices of things have gone up, a reduction in income will take a very negative toll on us.

“Before now, the universities have been poorly funded by the Federal Government, since the advent of TSA. We only pay in money to the account but we do not withdraw. No money is being released to the institution.

“We stay in hot offices because there is no money to buy fuel.

“The Buhari-led administration needs to change their mode of operation. Everything is running down.”

A staff in another Federal University confirmed this development saying “We received half salaries since January. It is really bad. We do not know how long this will last. We do not know whether it is temporary or permanent. There has been no official statement from the Presidency on this.”
