[i][/i][i][/i]According to President Goodluck Jonathan Nigerian universities in four years would rub shoulders with the likes of Havard and MIT as a result of the ongoing transformation of the education system.

Speaking during the Presidential Debate organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG) on Sunday in Abuja, he said that Nigerian universities had been equipped to compete with their foreign counterparts and would rank among the best in 4 years.

Jonathan said that education was a responsibility of both states and the federal governments, adding that the present administration gives support to the states through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).

``We all feel bad that no Nigerian university was ranked but we are working seriously to change the trend.

``We have equipped most of our universities through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).

``We are talking about infrastructure that has failed over the years but with the way we are going, in the next four years our universities will compete with other universities across the world.
