According to the circular titled “Approved fees/charges for Federal Unity Colleges (1st Term) for new students,” signed by the Director of Senior Secondary Education, Hajia Binta Abdulkadir, new students will now be required to pay ₦100,000 instead of the previous ₦45,000.

The increased fees will apply to various aspects and activities of the school, including tuition and boarding fees, uniforms, textbooks, deposits, exercise books, prospectus, caution fees, ID cards, stationery, clubs and societies, sports, extra lessons, insurance, among others.

However, on July 11, the House of Representatives urged the Federal Government to reverse the school fees increment in all federal government-owned secondary schools. This resolution came after a motion moved by Saidu Abdullahi (APC, Niger) and Kama Nkemkanma (LP, Ebonyi). Nkemkanma, while presenting the motion, highlighted the hardship the increase was causing for students.
