Kaduna state government asks KASU to allow fee defaulters write exams

Kaduna State University (KASU) says its students defaulting on paying their fees will be allowed to write exams.

The KASU management, in a statement, said the move is following the directive of Uba Sani, the governor of Kaduna state

It said the directive is to mitigate the impact of current economic challenges on its student population.

Muhammad Lawal Shehu, chief press secretary to the state governor, confirmed the directive in a statement to newsmen on Sunday.

Shehu said the directive shows Sani’s administration is committed to promoting inclusive and equitable access to education.

He said parents and guardians are encouraged to ensure that all outstanding debts owed to KASU are settled.

“The governor recognizing the current dire economic realities facing many businesses, families and individuals in the nation, has directed that the school management extend the deadline for the full payment of tuition fees,” the CSP said.

“This is to allow students to write examinations.

“As their guardians and parents make adequate plans to complete any pending tuition fees owed to the institution.

“This directive underscores the administration’s commitment to promoting inclusive and equitable access to education.

It will ensure that every student has the chance to excel academically regardless of their financial circumstances.”
