The House of Representatives is asking the Federal Ministry of
Education and the National Universities’ Commission to immediately
abolish the payment of acceptance fees into tertiary
institutions.
This resolution follows a motion raised by Representative
Chinedu Martins.
He attributed the poor access to tertiary education by Nigerians
to the requirement for payment of the non-refundable acceptance
fees as a condition for admission.
Honorable Martins expressed worry that if the practice is not
checked, the poor in the country will be unable to access tertiary
education, especially considering examples of schools demanding as
high as N70,000 as admission fees, compared to the minimum wage of
N30,000.
