The Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El Rufai yesterday announced the abolition of fees paid for admission forms and their processing by applicants seeking admission into tertiary institutions owned by Kaduna state.

The State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Shehu Usman-Adamu, who spoke to journalists shortly after the cabinet meeting at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna on behalf of the governor said: “All state government owned tertiary institution have been directed to stop payments for admission forms and for the processing of the forms for all tertiary schools in Kaduna State with immediate effect.

“Under no condition should prospective students be subjected to buying scratch cards for admission forms or pay processing fees in any of the state-owned higher schools.

“Admission into higher institutions should not be treated as a revenue source, hence, government decision to to abolishe the fees.
“The Governor has also directed that all non-teaching occupants of school quarters vacate the premises within 90 days.

“Henceforth teachers transferred to other schools must vacate their official quarters within six months to give way for other occupants”, he said.
Meanwhile, the State Executive Council also approved a draft Fiscal Responsibility Bill.

The State Commissioner for Finance, Suleiman Kwari, who disclosed this after the council meeting, said the Fiscal Responsibility Bill is designed to help protect the state from fiscal indiscipline and reform public financial management in the state.

He said: “The absence of a guiding framework for fiscal policy by previous governments had made the state become one of the most indebted in the country.

“Therefore, the new government has decided to pursue macro-fiscal discipline, compliance with rules and the attainment of budget credibility,” he said.

“A bill which will be submitted to the state’s House of Assembly for legislation would provide for an independent commission to monitor and enforce the provisions of the proposed law.

“When passed into law, the bill will limit possible deficits to not more than five per cent of aggregated revenue.
“The law if operational will also create a Kaduna State Fiscal Responsibility Commission, KADFREC, which shall be independent and be capable of recommending violators for prosecution that on conviction may result in imprisonment or the payment of fines.”

You see, I told Mogidi that APC has got the best brains in this country but he won't just listen.

But wait o Mogidi, if you're not Yoruba what's the story behind your moniker cos it rhymes with SHIGIDI a Yoruba word for statue

Good one Mr. Midget Governor. The way you are going, I may soon be singing your praises though I'm still worried about the fate of poor masses as regards some of your policies especially in the area of urbanisation.

This guy should serve out Buhari's second four years. He knows what governance is about

Double post

With the way this man is going, I see him being the President in the future.

I wish you lived in FCT before 2002/3, during OBJ's 2nd term (when he was FCT minister) & after they left office, you'll know mallam nor be play play...

His Administration demolished my parent's houses in a suburb(land as compensation)& I'm still stanning so hard for mallam...

Bala Muhammed (with his jesus;mama peace) is the worst thing that ever happened to FCT!!!

This is what governance is all about, on like that noisy governor fayose. If we have more of is kind i think we can archive asignificant change within a short period of time

Being a Progressive is not a label but a characteristic, one which is plenty in the APC from El-Rufai to Tambuwal to Fashola.

If El-Rufai is not presidential material...what is?

Aregbesola, Bello Masari, Okorocha, Ajimobi, Bagudu are all APC governors but their corrupt practises is something outside this world

Aregbesola is also an APC presidential material

A great move by the governor. But I have some questions, does it mean the state owned universities are free? Does it include non indigenes? Please someone with detailed knowledge on the matter should help me out

ECOTERRORS:
Aregbesola is also an APC presidential material

Wrong button

Not really. Just worried about his age. 76/77 in the next four years, 80/81 in eight years.

He's 91 actually. But we don't need a president who sleeps and falls during state functions.lol

They fools the uninformed, but what is cost of tuition fee.?

The admission fee is notting compare with the tuition.

Heartless set of people.

That is exactly what those whose buildings were demolished in Ifo, Ogun State on the expance of land belonging to LUTH said. The land was fenced and left since 1979 that it's purchased.

Shut up! For you to apply into Ambrose Alli University (AAU) Ekpoma, you need to purchase the form with about N8,000 and after you're admitted, your acceptance fee would be N40,000 plus school fees which is about 40-48K. So if a Governor decides to tell Students not to pay N48,000 out of N83,000, the Governor has not still tried? What if you go to the rehab to see a Psychiatrist?!

If it is true, permit me to shout...

Sai El'rufaya!
