In response to the public outcry over the current fees being charged by tertiary institutions in Kaduna State and its effect on school enrolment and retention, I have approved the downward review of school fees for tertiary institutions in the state as follows:

• KADUNA STATE UNIVERSITY
- Current Fee: N150,000
- Reduction (%): 30%
- New Fee: N105,000

• NUHU BAMALLI POLYTECHNIC
- Current Fee: N100,000
- Reduction (%): 50%
- New Fee: N50,000

• COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, GIDAN WAYA
- Current Fee: N75,000
- Reduction (%): 50%
- New Fee: N37,500

• SHEHU IDRIS COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY, MAKARFI

HND Courses
- Current Fee: N100,000
- Reduction (%): 30%
-New Fee: N70,000

ND Courses
- Current Fee: N75,000
- Reduction (%): 30%
- New Fee: N52,000

• KADUNA STATE COLLEGE OF NURSING
- Current Fee: N100,000
- Reduction (%): 30%
- New Fee: N70,000

This downward review of the extant fees regime aligns with our commitment to offer palliatives to cushion the effect of general rising cost of living in the polity, especially in the wake of recent petroleum subsidy removal in Nigeria.

The welfare of the people is our topmost priority. Our administration shall continue to take all measures necessary to ensure access to free and qualitative education for every child in Kaduna State from primary to secondary school; expand access to higher education; enhance Teachers’ Welfare & Teaching Standards; improve School Infrastructure; build ICT competence in our students from basic education level; and intensify investments in Technical & Vocational Education.

Senator Uba Sani,
Governor, Kaduna State.

Good one

A good one to start with

All came to touch lives but some ended up touching them with hot irons. Some touch the minds and make them shed tears of joy but others help the people wet the pillows with tears

Uba Sani will surely fall out with El-Rufai sooner than later. This act alone will pacify the ever angry parents of Kaduna state.
Increment in school fees was one of the unforgettable and unforgiven sins of El-Rufai as many parents had withdrawn their subjects from state owned institutions due to high tuition fees.
Kudos to Uba Sani
