Stop The Falsehood! Basic Truths About New School Fees Of FG Colleges

 

Interestingly, the buzz about the new school fees of Federal Government colleges continues to generate increasing interest. Sadly, most of the narratives are fake, and checked by SAHARA revealed otherwise. Here are 8 truths you need to know.

 

Stop The Falsehood! Basic Truths About New School Fees Of FG Colleges

 

1. The memo for the increase from the Federal Ministry of Education was issued on May 25th, 2023. This means the action predates the current administration.

 

 

 

2. The increase affects mainly new students who, traditionally, will pay for sundry charges including school uniforms.

 

 

 

3. Tuition is still free in the Unity Schools per the memo.

 

 

4. Boarding house students will only pay N30,000 per term. To be honest, I think it will be difficult to argue against feeding a child 3 meals in a day for an average of 80-90 days which makes a term with N30k. At 30k, the FG is still subsidizing the feeding heavily.

 

 

5. Only new students in the boarding house will pay N100,000. Those who are day students will pay N70,000.

 

 

6. Returning students either in a boarding house or day school will pay much less.

 

 

7. Three line items on the amount payable cover a session.

 

 

8. Only JSS1 and SS1 students will pay N25,000 for new uniform.
