The Federal Government has reaffirmed that tuition and approved fees in all Federal Technical Colleges across the country remain free, cautioning principals and administrators against imposing unauthorised charges on students.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to making technical education accessible to all Nigerian children by fully funding all FTC nationwide.
In a statement issued on Wednesday and released via the Ministry of Education‘s X handle on Thursday, the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, said the government bears the full cost of tuition to guarantee equal access to technical education.
He stressed that no administrator is permitted to demand extra payments from parents or guardians, adding that circulars have been dispatched to all schools to reinforce the directive.
