It Is Illegal For Tertiary Institutions To Collect Tuition In Dollars – NUC by emkz: 6:05am On Feb 16
The National Universities Commission (NUC) on Thursday reiterated its position that no tertiary institution in Nigeria is allowed to charge tuition fees in dollars.

The Acting Executive Secretary of NUC, Chris Maiyaki, emphasised this at a media parley with education reporters in Abuja.

He was reacting to a statement by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) inviting proprietors of private universities and other institutions of higher learning in Nigeria charging fees in dollars.

Maiyaki said the commission had made an inquiry into the allegation but discovered that the said private university was not charging fees in dollars.

He noted that the institution only charged foreign students in dollars and not Nigerian students.

"On the dollarisation of tuition fees in this said university, we have investigated it and the university is not charging fees in dollars.

"They only charge dollars to foreign students. So, I want the media to join hands with us to tell the public that no Nigerian university is allowed to charge fees in dollars," he said

The executive secretary also said that the commission would continue to approve more universities as long as they are of standards and have the capacity for sustainability.

Either local or international students, it is illegal to collect fees in dollars in Nigeria.

What os recognized as a legal tender within Nigeria is naira. Anyone who wants to attend those universities can bring his country's currency and change it to naira to pay the fees in naira in Nigeria or pay the fees in the school's dollar or euro or pound account abroad if they have such accounts. This abuse or dollar by the elites within Nigeria must be curtailed.

The only other issue I wish to ask is: where is the National Orientation Agency? You guys need to educate our people on the basic things they should be aware of. That must also include weekly or monthly briefings of the various activities of the federal and state governments. What fuels suspicion in our people and even get them to think that some of the abuses of the economy by the rich is normal. There is nothing abnormal there.

Until now, NOA does not seem to have slots in the media to promote government initiatives.

Wigwe University…

An online video emerged last week alleging that Wigwe University would be charging school fees in dollars and that each student would pay over $12,000 in tuition and sundry charges. Although I knew that this was a misleading allegation that could damage the reputation of the new institution, I promptly contacted its founder, Dr. Herbert Wigwe. He responded: "This is not true. It is only foreign students that will pay in dollars. Nigerians will pay in Naira. This is clearly stated on the University’s website. No amount of mischief will derail us from contributing to the development of our country".
