The Minister of
Education, Adamu Adamu, has said the Federal Government will harmonize tuition
in all federal universities to stop arbitrary charge of fees by some university
authorities.
News
Agency of Nigeria report continues:
Adamu,
made this known while fielding questions on the News Agency of Nigeria Forum
in Abuja on Tuesday.
He
said, “Since the protests started, we have summoned the authorities of the
universities and sat down with them and we are going to harmonize everything.
“Because,
I think it is ₦45,000 that is the maximum that should be charged. I know in
some places, there has been other arrangement.
“But
the ministry would harmonize everything and I believe there will be no more
protests over fees.”
The
Universities of Lagos, Ibadan and Port Harcourt were recently shut down
following students’ protests over increase in fees, lack of water and power
supply on the campuses.
Adamu said that the Federal Government was discussing with management of the affected universities, adding that efforts were also ongoing to introduce harmonized fees for all federal universities.
