President Bola Tinubu has warned tertiary institutions across the country against arbitrarily increasing tuition fees paid by students.
The President said these developments have prevented some young Nigerians from pursuing higher education in the country.
Tinubu then promised that his government would ensure that Nigerian universities have a stable and regular academic calendar.
The President regretted that this practice is injurious to health and has a negative impact on the growth and development of higher education in our country. He pointed out in his leadership report that many needy youths in the country do not have access to higher education.
Bala Ahmed Tinubu promises a stable academic program in Nigerian universities. Tinubu then said the Nigerian government would strive to establish a stable and sustainable academic calendar in the country’s tertiary institutions and urged him to appoint the 14,866 first class graduates of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) as good ambassadors for the country.
He urged them to extol their talents in revamping the dying economy of the country. At the combined convocation of the UNIUYO, Tinubu was represented by Yusuf Sununu, the minister of state for education.
Tinubu announced plans to improve university standards. He said the government has put in place mechanisms to ensure the role of universities in teaching, research and human resource development by improving the quality and standards of education in all educational institutions in the country.
“Let me reiterate my commitment to supporting quality and standard education at all levels in the country. This administration will work to optimize our university curricula in terms of quality access and relevance to our national needs
