The news trending on
social media that the FG had approved the hike in tuition fees of Nigerian
universities to N350,000, has been debunked by the Federal Ministry of
Education.
The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Sonny Echono, made the
clarification at a symposium, on Wednesday, in Abuja.
According to him: “The Federal Government did not and has no intention
of introducing new tuition fees in our public universities not to mention the
figure to N350, 000.
What is true is that the present administration is committed to
guarantee quality of education.
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the ministry of education along
with the ministry of finance to jointly organise a workshop that will inform on
a very sustainable and workable recommendation of funding education in Nigeria.
And to this end, we have been engaging various stakeholders including
ASUU who can come up with a very useful contribution that will bring all these
recommendations achievable.”
