The National Association of Kano State Students (NAKSS) has officially responded to the recent tuition fee increase at Northwest University, Kano, a state-owned institution.
During an exclusive interview with LMSINT MEDIA on Monday, Isyaku Ali Kanwa, President of NAKSS, expressed deep concern regarding the sudden tuition adjustment, which saw fees jump from approximately ₦17,000 to ₦57,000. This development has sparked widespread anxiety among students.
Ali Kanwa stated that the association has been inundated with complaints and appeals from students urging the leadership to step in and address the issue. Many students had budgeted for the former fee and were shocked by the abrupt change.
“Since Sunday night, both students and stakeholders have reached out, asking us to urgently investigate and resolve the sudden increase in tuition fees,” Ali Kanwa said.
He reassured the student body that NAKSS has already initiated action by consulting with the Kano State Government, which, according to him, clarified that they were not involved in the university’s fee adjustment.
“We have communicated with the Kano State Government, and they made it clear that they are not responsible for the tuition hike,” he added.
Ali Kanwa further revealed that the association is now in active negotiations with the management of Northwest University to seek a possible downward review of the new fee structure.
He urged students to remain calm and trust the process, emphasizing that peaceful dialogue remains the most effective way to resolve the matter.
