Just In: Federal universities remain tuition-free, says Presidency

The Presidency, on Wednesday, said that despite the hike in ancillary fees at several universities nationwide, tuition remains free in federal universities.

This comes barely five days after Federal Unity Colleges increased the school fees for new students from N45,000 to N100,000.

“For the avoidance of doubts, federal universities in Nigeria remain tuition-free,” a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake, read Wednesday.

The statement is titled ‘Federal Universities Remain Tuition-free.’
