The executive Governor of Kwara state, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed has said the committee set to look into the controversy surrounding the new school fees released by the management of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin will submit its report in January 2018.
The Governor noted that in line with his determination to resolve the school fees controversy, a committee comprising members of the House of Assembly and officials of relevant ministries had been set up.
The committee, he said, would conduct a forensic investigation into the tuition fees and submit its report by Jan. 5, 2018.
The governor made this known in Ilorin in a statement issued recently by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Dr Muyideen Akorede.
The governor had on a radio programme within the week pledged to revisit the issue.
The governor said this was in response to the earlier resolution of the House of Assembly on the fees controversy.
He expressed optimism that the tuition fee would be reviewed in a manner that would satisfy students, parents and guardians as well as the institution’s capacity to run efficiently and in a sustainable manner and expressed appreciation to the leadership and members of the House of Assembly for their interest in resolving the fees controversy amicably.
