Ahmed slashes KWASU fees by 30%

Date: 2012-01-26

Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has slashed by 30per cent the tuition fees (N50,000) payable by students of the state-owned University (KWASU).
The new fee regime, expected to begin from next academic session, will only affect students of the state origin. Affected students, who hitherto paid N150,000 per session, will henceforth pay N99,500.
In statement, the Senior Special Assistant Media to the governor, Dr Muyideen Akorede, said the phased palliative measures would cushion the impact of the increase in the pump price of petrol.
He said: “KWASU students are also to benefit from a new mass transit system under which the government will allocate two new buses each on routes to the university as well to the University of Ilorin and the Kwara State Polytechnic.
“Ahmed has directed the immediate abolishment of all fees and levies at senior secondary schools to ease the burden of fee payment on parents and guardians. In addition, senior secondary school pupils are to receive 10 free notebooks per session, courtesy of the state government.
“The first set of palliatives is targeted at youths due to the fact that they constitute the largest segment of the state population and based on his administration’s emphasis on youth empowerment.”
