FG Declares Free Education in FTCs - Full Tuition Coverage for Students
The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced free technical education in all Federal Technical Colleges (FTCs) starting September 25. Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa, revealed that the free package covers tuition, boarding, uniforms, textbooks, exercise books, ID cards, stationery, medical services, vocational charges, utilities, security, and more.
The government will bear the full cost of tuition to ensure equal access for all students. Alausa warned against unauthorized payments by school administrators and urged parents to report any illegal demands.
The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu's focus on Technical Vocational Education Training (TVET) to equip youth with employable skills and enhance national progress.
