Students’ from the Kano State Polytechnic were disillusioned after resuming for the new academic session, only to discover that they have to pay all monies pertaining to registration and other ancillary requests by the management of their respective schools.
Last year, the then State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso declared that education from Primary to University level had become free, a feat that earned him respect and adoration from students and their guardians.
However, no sooner he left, the new administration in the state is seem to have reviewed that policy as each student is now at the mercy of parents/guardian for the payment of all fees at school.
The students complained bitterly and accused the rector, Professor Dalhatu Mohammed Galadanci, of misleading the new Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to suspend the policy that is assisting the indigent to pursue life time ambition.
Efforts to speak with the rector were unsuccessful.
Students are now paying over 15000 naira, while non-indigenes studying in the polytechnic are charged from 40,000 to 60,000 Naira, depending on the choice of a program a student is pursuing.
