While the House of Representatives is still asking the federal government to suspend the increment of school fees in federal government-owned universities, the Federal Government has gone ahead to also hike school fees for Federal Government Colleges (FGCs), otherwise known as Federal Unity Colleges.
Instead of ₦45,000, students will now ₦100,000 as first-term school fees.
This was contained in a directive from the Office of the Director of Senior Secondary Education Department of the Federal Ministry of Education, reference number ADF/120/DSSE/I, dated 25th May 2023 and addressed to all Principals of Federal Unity Colleges.
According to the circular entitled “Approved fees/ charges for Federal Unity Colleges (1st Term) for new students“, signed by the Director of Senior Secondary Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, new students are expected to part with ₦100,000 instead of the previous 45,000.
The latest fees/charge increment will affect virtually all aspects and activities of the school, including tuition and boarding fees, uniforms, textbooks, deposits, exercise books, prospectus, caution fee, ID cards, stationery, clubs and societies, sports, extra lesson, insurance, et al.
