…urges President Tinubu to reverse increment

Disclosing this in a statement, the National coordinator of the Forum, Mr. Monday Eze, who stated this while interacting with Journalists further decried the lack of qualified teachers, hostels, classrooms, science and technical workshops in the six Federal Science and Technical Colleges established in the six geopolitical zones in 2021.

He charged the new administration to provide those essential amenities for the use of the Colleges.

Eze asked the Federal Government to investigate allegations of extortion of money and materials from students under the guise of class and hostel levies by the management of the schools.

According to him, demand for various office equipment and household utensils from students on termly basis were also trending in the Federal Government Colleges.

“Last term total sum of every student’s fee was N30, 500.00 only.

“The fees has been increased to a total sum is N72, 000. 00 per student. This is over 100% increment.”
