BREAKING: FG Announces Resumption Date For Unity Schools, Fees

FG has announced the resumption date for Unity Schools and the fees payable to students.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Federal Ministry of Education (FME) has announced that students at the 112 Federal Government Colleges will now return to school on January 12, 2025, instead of the originally scheduled January 5.

 

The extension, as confirmed by the Permanent Secretary of FME, Dr. Nasir Sani-Gwarzo, is due to ongoing renovations at several schools.

A circular issued to school principals explains the change, following approval from the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Suwaiba Ahmad.

At Kings College in Lagos, there has been no official update on the resumption schedule, leaving some parents confused.

 

Typically, senior students preparing for exams like WASSCE and NECO return first, but no formal notice has been issued this year.

 

Meanwhile, parents are currently making payments of N58,000 for SS III students.

The breakdown includes payment of boarding fees of N30,000, the balance of WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB fees of N11,000.

 

Other fees include N2,000 for medical, ICT training, extra lessons, and utility, and N1,000 for sports, vocational, clubs, societies, and security.
