The President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government has added more pain to Nigerian parents by increasing the tuition fees paid by Unity Secondary school students from N45,000 to ₦100,000.
This was contained in a communique from the Federal Ministry of Education (FME) through the Office of the Director of Senior Secondary Education.

The circular, which was signed by the Director, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, was addressed to all Principals of Federal Unity Colleges across the country reads, “Approved fees/charges for Federal Unity Colleges (1st Term) for new students. New students are expected to part with ₦100,000 instead of the previous N45,000,” the circular read in part.
“The latest fees/charge increment will affect virtually all aspects and activities of the school, including tuition and boarding fees, uniform, text books, 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 underlisted fees and charges for all Unity Colleges,” the memo read.
