The Federal Executive Council stated on Wednesday that no federal university should charge tuition fees, saying the law does not allow it.
The Minister of State for Education, Anthony Anwuka, stated this while briefing State House correspondents after the cabinet meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.



The minister said the council discussed the school fees being charged by various universities "and noted that as of law, no federal university should charge tuition fees."
He also stated that the council understood that some federal universities charged fees per course unit,

The minister said the government would investigate and stop this.
Anwuka said the National Universities Commission had been directed to clarify and update the council on the matter.

He said: “We understand some universities now charge fees per course unit and we are going to make sure that we investigate that properly and make it stop.
"Students can pay other auxiliary fees, but not in excess. Various university councils and management should be able to fix what fees students should pay that is affordable and acceptable to the students. That is the position.

"The federal government does not determine fees for private and state universities. It only takes responsibility for fees paid in the federal universities.”
The minister also disclosed that the council approved the insurance of provisional licence for the the establishment of Skyline University in Kano.

If only they will hear and keep to it

Very good

That means Buhari is working.

They will just change the name from tuition fee to something else.



How come me they are just realising it!

Nice development, I hope the law is implemented to the letter. Because here in Nigeria,to make law is easy but to implement it na wahala

When you burn the bridge, your appetite for survival is fired. Your adrenalin becomes turbo charged!

Wrong move.

Buhari my foot!

and here in university of Calabar, it's no fees, no exams. those that succeeded in writing won't see their results. HODs that probably had compassion and let some defaulters write were relieved of their duty.(heard of one)

The affected school authorities will not sleep tonight.


Again new levies will soon be introduced by the same school authority.

isoright
lets wait and see if this one go reach uniben side

For Nigeria

these universities that are in a state of decay and the federal government that does not takes education seriously. I don't see this as a good move. I think they should rather monitor how the tuition collected is put into use.

Campaign strategy.... Will they say they have not being aware of the charges for years.....I beg make dey park well jare...who dey help??

I need my refunds.. both bsc and msc

Seun have sense na.. this nonsense is long overdue. Since last year. Haba!
