The federal government of Nigeria has warned federal universities against demanding tuition fees from students nationwide.
Mr David Adejo, the permanent secretary at the federal education ministry, stated this in Abuja at a public hearing by the House of Representatives ad committee on student loans.
Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, is the only Federal Government University in Anambra State.
Adejo said the recent increase in tuition fees by federal universities in the country was unfortunate.
He said,“What they collect is charges to cover the cost of accommodation, ICT, power, among others.
“It is the governing council of the universities that has the power to approve such charges for them.
“The only university that increased charges after the signing of the student loans act is the University of Lagos.”
