Federal Universities that have effected an increase on tuition fees due to the economic downturn might be on a collision course with the Nigerian Government after a mandate against such increment.

Speaking on the subject on Tuesday, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr David Adejo said this at a public hearing by the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on student loans in Abuja on Tuesday.

Adejo said that the recent increase in charges by federal universities in the country was unfortunate.
