The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Federal Ministry of Education, has raised the tuition for new students at Federal Government Colleges, also known as Federal Unity Colleges, to $100,000.
This was stated in a directive sent to all principals of Federal Unity Colleges on May 25, 2023, with reference number ADF/120/DSSE/I, from the Office of the Director of Senior Secondary Education Department of the Federal Ministry of Education.
New students must pay $100,000 instead of the previous N45,000, as stated in the circular titled “Approved fees/ charges for Federal Unity Colleges (1st Term) for new students” and signed by Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, Director of Senior Secondary Education.
The most recent fee/charge escalation will impact nearly every aspect and activity of the school, including tuition and boarding costs, uniforms, textbooks, deposits, exercise books, prospectuses, caution fees, ID cards, stationery, clubs and societies, sports, extra lessons, insurance, etc.
“Please be informed that the ministry has approved only the under-listed fees for all Unity Colleges,” the memo read.
