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.

“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.”
