The bad and rotten eggs has spoils the good ones... Everything in our system are runs by corrupt and mindless people

You are a Product of a Nigerian university, I now know why foreigners won't come.

Most Nigerian govt-owned universities are not made to take in foreign students because they are not originally designed to. Nigeria has a shocking population with over 1million people seeking to gain admission into these schools annually. Nigerian schools can't absorb these people let alone foreigners.

This is why JAMB was created in the first place to reduce the number of "qualified people" that will be gaining admission into school.

Secondly, NUC gives a student admission quota to all schools which means NO school should exceed such figure/quota. Note that ALL new student admission figures are subject to NUC approval in FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES.

Therefore, most of these schools can't even meet the admission needs of Nigerians - the original owners - let alone foreigners. This explains why many youths go to Ghana and South Africa to go to school after trying unsuccessfully to gain admission into Nigerian schools

you said it all.

Sometimes I ask God this simple question which he refuses to answer me " upon all the countries in Europe and America why did he creates me in Nigeria?
I weep for Nigeria.





Back to the topic

Though what you wrote there are the core reasons why Nigeria universities can't attract foreign students.
Our leaders will never do something about it trust me, apart from oga Jonathan which among the politicians in this country that he or her children is schooling here absolutely none and u think they will do something about it. (make I hear)
But in unizik here we have few foreign students from Lebanese, china and some within the African countries. Unizik dey try naaaa.

yah I met like three Asian student in engineering department.

DONT FORGET, MOST STUDENTS HAVE TO SLEEP WITH THEIR LECTURALS BEFORE GRATUATING. HOW IS THAT ATTRACTIVE?

There are quite a number of international students in ABU. I know there are a few in Unilorin too.

Mr Poster of the post. Are past government & corrent government know about this

A university in the U.S. created an area where students could unwind by using colouring books, playing wih pets etc. They did this because final examinations were coming up and the school administrators know that stressed students yield poor results.

Nigerian universities and their lecturers are delighted when they hear students complaining of exhaustion and stress and will tell you "we are training you" whilst cramming obsolete information into your brain. And most of them will fight against change.

However, some small enclaves in the university system are beginning to realize that mediocrity begets mediocrity and asking more qualified lecturers to come. I heard that Mechanical Engineering dept in UNILAG now has a few lecturers from MIT teaching (great news).

Please the federal government should help the situation of indefinite strike embark on by Federal polytechnic, Auchi staff, in February they went on same strike over non payment of two months salary and arias before it was suspend after the Acting Rector Dr. Jafaru Braimoh pleaded with aggrieved staffs and lecturers of the institution but yesterday 17th March 2016 afternoon around 1:50pm it took another dimension when staff and lecturers went on protest, students where chase out of the school premises, Academic activities where abortive. Now students are helpless, calling on the Federal government President Mohanmado Buhari, the comrade governor and Auchi poly Acting Rector to dialogue with the aggrieved staff for the strike be call-off.

This is the reason why....

Number 3 is quite far from the truth,the united state does not fund universities,universities are self funded and the fees are expensive,the cost of formal education in Nigeria is not realistic and if you try to increase it there would be problems with the union.formal education is not cheap in fact it is a business on its own

Very true. In addition, the average US citizen aspires to College, not University. And they have to take students' loans that they will be struggling to repay. Nothing like State Bursary.

We need to redefine our educational system to meet the needs, resourced, demands and capacity. What happened to our Technical Colleges? Why can I not go to a School of Design or a School of Music?

Why does everyone Nigerian Youth have to go to a University to have a future?
