The Federal Ministry of Education has debunked the viral rumor of the government increasing tuition fees of Nigerian Federal Universities to N350,000.
Making clarification at a gathering in Abuja, the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Sonny Echono, said the Federal Government is not planning to increase tuition fees, urging Nigerians to remain calm.
“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,” he said.
