The Federal Government has increased the school fees of Federal Government Colleges, commonly known as Unity Schools.
This recent development follows the directives of the Federal Ministry of Education issued to all Principals of Unity Colleges for the school fees for new students enrolling into the Colleges to ₦100,000, representing over 50% increment.
The directive was contained in a circular with reference number ADF/120/DSSE/I, dated 25th May 2023, as seen by MUK TV.
According to the circular titled “Approved fees/ charges for Federal Unity Colleges (1st Term) for new students,” signed by Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, the Director of Senior Secondary Education, the new students will now be required to pay ₦100,000 instead of the previous fee of N45,000.
“The increased fees will encompass various aspects and activities of the school, including tuition and boarding fees, uniforms, textbooks, deposits, exercise books, prospectus, caution fees, ID cards, stationery, clubs and societies, sports, extra lessons, insurance, and more.
“The latest fees/charge increment will affect virtually all aspects and activities of the school, including tuition and boarding fees, uniform, textbooks, deposit, exercise books, prospectus, caution fee, ID card, stationery, clubs and societies, sports, extra lesson, insurance, et al.
“Please be informed that the ministry has approved only the under-listed fees for all Unity Colleges,” the memo read.
