Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, has said his administration has removed one of the barriers to acquiring tertiary education by reducing the tuition fees of Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions by 50 percent.
The governor pointed out that the reduction in tuition fees has paved way for more students from humble backgrounds to bag university degrees with ease in the state.
The governor, represented by his principal private secretary, Prof Bello Ayuba, spoke at the inauguration of the Kaduna State University chapter of Kaduna State Students Union and public lecture, held at the university campus.
Governor Sani thanked the students for giving him the Sword of Honour Award and for making the strides recorded by his administration the focal point of the public lecture.
The governor advised students not to allow agents of disunity and chaos to use them to destabilise their communities and steer them away from their career goals.
Explaining why the governor was given the honour, the students’ body commended him for the reduction in tuition fees and the establishment of new faculties in the school.
