The Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Julius OKojie, has expressed concern over high tuition fees charged by private universities.
Speaking on Thursday in Abuja at the presentation of full Operational Licences to nine private universities earlier granted provisional licences in 2007, 2009 and 2011, Okojie noted that the issue of tuition in private universities depended on the market demand, quality and facilities therein.
“Some private universities charge up to N1 million but it is a market of demand and supply situation; if fees scare students away, it affects the institution.
“If you go to American University, Yola, not only do they provide computers and some other extra things, they take students on tours; there are additional costs not just for the teaching alone.
