slimmy05: Arrogancy

vanguard1: Cheap tuition means cheap(substandard) Education, we ought to have past that level now. it is a honest fact that Education aint for the poor.if you can't afford it, go and learn a skill.

coogar:

i am sure the school must have produced enough professors & senators. if not, something is wrong with the parents sending their kids there.

Saraben: BUK is around 22 thousand den engineering student 25k,medicine 27k ...we pay d same fee irrespective of your level and mind u my school is a federal uni. acceptance fee is just 3,000 for freashers

Dada-Stephen:


Thank you Lecturer, i am not looking for admission, i only want Nigerians to see how extremely and unecessarily expensive public education is.
I want to fight for the possibility of a free education society. We can achieve it!
The school fees are outrageous! What can the ordinary citizen get as a benefit from the government? They are depriving more people of the opportunity to be liberated.

[b]I think you're letting your emotions cloud your judgement.

I don't think what you earn in Nigeria should be compared to what you earn abroad because the cost of living isn't the same. Let's take for example.

A star and flat screw-driver here cost N200, in Nigeria its N50 - Increase by 300%

A Bunch of banana that would cost N100 in Nigeria cost about N600 here - An increase of 500%

Titus Fish that i usually buy in Lagos for N80-N100 sells for N550 here - Increase of over 400%.

I could get a room self contain on the mainland in Lagos for about 200k a year meanwhile 200k can only rent me a studio apartment for only 3 months. And I have not compared Utility.

Bottom line is the cost of living abroad is almost proportional to the cost of living in Nigeria. If you earn N1,000 abroad and i earn N200 in Nigeria, we will be affording the same livelihood.

I think Nigerians should be recommending an increase in our University tuition fee and the Govt help in accessing educational loans, that way, everyone benefits and everyone is happy.[/b]

onose1: AAU:40,000-50,000 depending on d course u r studying(excluding #40,000 for acceptance fee)

premiere: tuition in finland is absolutely free. Product of dat stuff, mehn.

lafex: ABU Average of N19000 from excluding acceptance fee for freshers and N7090 accommodation fee

Okiki_Oluwa:
State Univs. are now serious biz.
In 2006, TASUED acceptance fee was N10,000. The tution was N26,000plus for indigenes & maybe N29,000plus for non indigenes.
Even as at 2010, it was N31,000plus for indigenes & N36,000plus for non indigenes.
Now, it's almost N80,000
for indigenes & N94,000 for non indigenes. This world don spoil finish!

Chomzy19: when I said looking for admission I wasn't referring to u, I was refering to any so-called person your post is going to help cos I thought it was going in that direction, now I see the direction u are going, I'll let u know that Education In Nigeria is Cheap, wch country exactly are you comparing it to to call it Expensive? is it Ghana, or Malaysia or Education-giant countries like US, Canada, d Uk, Australia, Germany even France where the Government subsidizes Education, D public universities are still 10 times higher than Nigerian public Universities, Education Is Never Cheap, for now it is still VERY CHEAP in Nigeria becus most Nigerian universities are still substandard, D government cannot do Everything for us, Be4 our Universities get to the level we are clamouring for then u'll see d meaning of Education being Expensive, Half of d federal universities don't Even take up to 50k as their tuition fees, n most states is between 100-200k while d schools u are aiming to be like people spend up to 500-1mil in a years tuition fee. Nigerians want it all, CHEAP SOUND EDUCATION is an OXYMORON

nerodenero: That is nice.I paid N18,750 when I was there and we never paid acceptance fee.Whats the meaning of acceptance?These Universities just look for every means to suck students dry.Acceptance fee ko,rejection fee ni

Dada-Stephen:


Yes, i graduated from there and it was from my set the fees skyrocketed.

olas24u:
The population is huge and the number of people out of school is very high,you should use the population in a developing country to compare Nigeria.China,India ,Brazil,Russia,Indonesia,Bangladesh,turkey,Pakistan.Compare the educated work force in those so cities relative to their economic development and human capital.Nigeria is a developing country with No electricity ,water,housing for the population,this are just basics.Our roads are constructed by foreigners compare with those countries,highly skilled areas are in foreign hands in Nigeria ,and you think school fees is the problem.

I don't think tuition fee is a problem here, i think Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. Nigerians have the mentality that everything must be given to the citizens free of charge. None of those countries you mentioned charges a tuition fee less than N1,000,000 per annum except Nigeria.

If a Taxi driver drives you to work everyday for free, how can he repair his car? How can he refuel it? In the long run, his Taxi will be dilapidated and impoverished. That is an example of the situation of Nigeria Universities and the reason why we cannot maintain the University cos it's almost free and for that same reason, we cannot produce quality engineers and good doctors because of the lack of practicals and research.

A University is not what it is in Nigeria where people are spoon-fed with plagiarized lecture notes. A University is a research institute. A place where Mr. A says this color is red and Mr. B says no it is Pink and they go into the Laboratory to carry out researches to proof that the color is indeed Red or Pink. A university is not a place where they read big books as it is in Nigeria University.

Look at the problem without bias or emotional attachment. Is Nigeria Universities carrying out researches as it should be? I guess not. Why? Lack of finance.

How can you run a University with a tuition fee of =N= 25,000 Naira per annum, that is USD $155 / £95 a year? Seriously!!

Out of £95, the University is expected to pay all academic staff salary (Professors, Asst. Professors, Counselor, VC, Research Supervisors etc), non-academic staff salary (Cleaners, security, gate-men, drivers etc.), cover electricity and all other utility bills of the University, sponsor minor student laboratory research, and major MSc and PhD researches. And all other sector that requires financial support.

Common my sister , let's tell ourselves the truth. Govt. cannot afford to take care of the University, it's time for Nigerians to accept their fate OR accept an increase in University tuition fee and then demand an access to educational loans from the Govt.

Govt needs to take their hands off school business else it will continue to decline at this rate. Even if the Govt give ASUU $200 trillion today, in 10 years or less the money will be exhausted and ASUU will be back on the Govt's neck cos truly the University cannot sustain its fiscal budget on a tuition fee of £95 per student. Haba!!

Bank Manager:
Bounce...!!!
Who told you we wanna school in Ghana?We are proud of our schools here.The last strike by ASUU,which is set to end days from now,will be the last time Nigerian students will ever have their academic calender disrupted..
BTW,which school is Ghana is better than schools like UNIBEN,UI,A.B.U,UNILAG,OAU,etc.?
Park well guy..!

Licensed-2-Kill:

greenek001:

Nice contribution, but i'm not interested in or comparing my country with those wicked western countries who have always been the primary source of global unrest nor Ghana which isn't as rich as us.
I am working in lieu of what's stated in the CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, under the FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES and precisely, the EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES which states that EDUCATION MUST BE FREE AND COMPULSORY at all levels, from basic primary, to University, to Adult literacy.
Mind you, i will like to disagree with you that the government cannot do everything because the Nigerian government hasn't done anything remarkable to its citizens.

lastmessenger:
Bros am aware that tuition fee in countries like finland,iceland,germany and austrelia is free for their citizens.at a time they extended it to international students.i dont know how they managed to do that but i believe Nigeria can do the same
