The document reads, “To relieve parents and students of the heavy burden of high tuition fees, our Administration commits to the reduction of tuition fees in the state-owned tertiary institutions within my first 90 days in office.”

The candidate also spoke of his plan to ensure adequate funding of public schools, the award of scholarship and payment of bursary as and when due.
