He said the competitive fees model “responds to the current realities and promotes access to quality education”.
The governor announced the cuts during an interactive session with reporters in Kaduna on Monday.
Despite the outcry of students and parents, he did not reverse the government’s decision on the increase. In a similar vein, the fee for National Diploma courses in the same institution was reduced from N75,000 to N52,000.The governor described the measure as his government’s palliatives to cushion the effect of the petroleum subsidy removal and its harsh economic impact on the people.
“That the extant fees have made many students either abandon the pursuit of tertiary education or move to alternative institutions,’’ he said.Mr Sani then reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of the people.
