The rulers of Nigeria have only been paying lip-service to education.What is on the ground,at all levels,is scandalous decay and rot as a result of deliberate neglect of this all-important sector.The figures speak for themselves..The view of the % of GDP spent on Education(2012) is shown below where Nigeria has the lowest percentage contribution to her education sector
Nigeria's GDP for 2012 was 262.2billion USD
Allocation to Education for 2012 was 1.96 billion USD
The amount spent by Nigeria for the entire Education sector from basic to university is less than what individual universities are spending in some climes.For instance:
penn state university budgeted 4.42 billion USD for 2013
university of Texas in Austin budgeted 2.48 billion USD for 2013
university of Melbourne spent 1.93 billion USD in 2012
university of cambridge spent 2.15 billion USD in 2012
Nigeria,2013,All 39 Federal Univs,all Fed Polys,all Fed COEs,all FGCs and Unity Schools,etc budgeted 2.69 billion USD
Physical facilities for teaching and learning in Nigerian Universities are:
Inadequate:used beyond the original carrying capacity.Many lecturers,including Professors,share small offices
Dilapidated
Over-stretched/over-crowed
