Breaking: Governor Uba Sani announces reduction in school fees of state owned tertiary institutions.

Read Press Statement: 

In response to the public outcry over the current fees being charged by tertiary institutions in Kaduna State and its effect on school enrolment and retention,  I have approved the downward review of school fees for tertiary institutions in the state as follows: 

• KADUNA STATE UNIVERSITY

- Current Fee: N150,000

- Reduction (%): 30%

- New Fee:  N105,000

 

• NUHU BAMALLI POLYTECHNIC 

- Current Fee: N100,000

- Reduction (%): 50%

- New Fee:  N50,000

 

• COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, GIDAN WAYA

- Current Fee: N75,000

- Reduction (%): 50%

- New Fee: N37,500

HND Courses

- New Fee: N52,000

 

• KADUNA STATE COLLEGE OF NURSING

This downward review of the extant fees regime aligns with our commitment to offer palliatives to cushion the effect of general rising cost of living in the polity, especially in the wake of recent petroleum subsidy removal in Nigeria.

The welfare of the people is our topmost priority. Our administration shall continue to take all measures necessary to ensure access to free and qualitative education for every child in Kaduna State from primary to secondary school; expand access to higher education; enhance Teachers’ Welfare & Teaching Standards; improve School Infrastructure; build ICT competence in our students from basic education level; and intensify investments in Technical & Vocational Education.

Senator Uba Sani,

Governor, Kaduna State.
