The Student Union Government (SUG) of the Federal University of Technology, Minna has released a new official statement addressing concerns over the collection of unauthorized faculty and departmental fees. The clarification, issued on 3rd December 2025, aims to protect students from illegal financial demands and reinforce transparency in the institution’s fee structure.

- Do not respond to unverified or unauthorized payment requests from anyone.
- Disregard any form of fee collection not issued through official university or SUG communication channels.
The Union further urged students to protect themselves by reporting any suspicious fee requests immediately.
