The governing council of Federal University Dutse through its secretary as well as registrar of the varsity, Alhaji Abubakar Mijinyawa, has announced the abolishment of the part-payment of 60 and 40 percent for first and second semester registration of undergraduate students.
The statement said that the fourth governing council of FUD has received in its third meeting the report and recommendations from the finance and general purposes committee on the management’s request for abolishing the 60 and 40 percent of registration fees for undergraduates with effect from 2024/2025 academic session.
Giving the reason of annulling the part-payment, the registrar said that, “the 60% and 40% adversely affect the functionality of the university’s portal and after due consideration of the proposal the governing council directed the school management to abolish the part-payment to maintain the stability in the university’s financial record and portal “.
The statement added that the introduction of NELFUND Student Loan Scheme by the federal government reduces the burden of payment of registration fees of the students in which the fund offers 100% payment of registration to the beneficiaries of the scheme.
