The university authority, which disclosed this in a statement, said the development followed a directive by Governor Uba Sani, aimed at lessening the impact of the current economic hardship on the students.
recalls that the previous government under the leadership of former Governor Nasir El-rufai, had in 2023 increased school fees by 100 per cent.

Following this, Governor Uba Sani had announced the downward review of fees payable in state-owned tertiary institutions.
