Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has approved a downward review of state tertiary institutions fees by 30 per cent.
In a statement he signed and pasted on his Facebook page on Monday, Governor Sani, who said he sympathised with parents over the current fees, said the slash was in response to the public outcry over the current fees being charged by tertiary institutions in Kaduna State and its effect on school enrolment.
“This downward review of the extant fees regime aligns with our commitment to offering palliatives to cushion the effect of the rising cost of living in the polity, especially in the wake of recent petroleum subsidy removal in Nigeria.” Uba Sani said
He said the welfare of the people is his utmost priority, adding that his administration shall be continued to take all measures necessary to ensure access to free and qualitative education for every child in Kaduna State from primary to secondary school.
