free education is not the way forward now, we need to improve the quality of our education, maybe at a subsidized Rate.

I think tertiarty education is free in China, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Turkey, venezuela, for their citizens. It is not free in the US neither is it subsidized but all you need to attend university is interest and admission letter... Grants and loans are available without any criteria. One of Bernie Sanders campaign promise in the US is free tertiary education. So what is amiss in a president promising free STEM education? Must we criticize everything? Are we sick?

The government schools all over the nation couldn't be compared to the Private owned schools all by Price differential, if free education goes to higher institutions mostly to sectors where practical/physical equipments are needed to aide their studies and yet there isn't internally generated funds to finance them, isn't this going to lead to further crippling of the academia sector in our nation because just infantry primary schools owned by govt have been ignored into the hands of PTA.
Common Politicians be realistic with us, we're not in Wonderland like Alice.

The IPOB wailers are everywhere on this page. Crawling like maggots, insulting their betters.

Totally expected.

where are they going to generate revenue to fund the programme if implemented. Its free for benefiting individuals but not free for government

erusen:
really u must be joking.do u know the number of unemployed people in nigeria.so u want us to get knowledge and not apply it.sorry

Lemme break it down.

Education is important than employment because if Education is terrible and Illiteracy is high, thats a problem in itself,

Employment is not the only solution to unemployment... Entrepreneurship is an option.... But formal education has no replaceable option....

what exactly does he want to achieve with thos policy? Let him tell us.

The change has come...Awolowo concept of politics & economy ...God bless baba .The money is there but in the hands of the few...all the billion swindled by Dasuki & his acolytes is enough to implement this laudable project.

and how can u motivate nigerians to get education without jobs availabity.In my state Edo state majority of all youths have formal education,many are graduates but have no jobs.Education for the purpose of education is just dillusional

Our educational system needed to b reformed from p1 to 400l as d case may b. Graduate shd empowered to b employer of labour than bcom employee.

What are all the haters and back biting f00ls going to say now?

promises upon promises. All unrealistic. N5K for unemployed youths. No way. Free meal for school children. No way. And now promise of free education? All buhari advisers will rot in jail.

It actually is possible. The 5k is for some unemployed persons who the govt consider vulnerable. Free lunch for school children is also possible -- some states have such programmes in their public schools already. As for free education, all they need do to tick that box is to eliminate tuition fees for students in the sciences, technology and education in federal universities. Shikena!

Joe4lv:
What a marvelous plan for the future though I know how much will go into this project especially free tuition fee for science, technical students in our tertiary institutions.

But,I think we as a nation should leave behind tribal sentiments and religious bigotry and think towards being a great nation. Invest in Aba made stuffs and have quality standard of international acceptance and help market those products abroad. China started like that and today the world depends on them.

Mechanise agriculture in the north and encourage agric processing plants all over the north with channels created for exportation to help generate income for the nation.

All these will create jobs instead of making tuition free and have junk of graduates in the already laden unemployment market with no industries to work in.

we are poor,yes! but we don't free education but subsidized ones with the hope of getting employed or having a policy to support our ideas as youths.

Y this man keep on making empty promises. Apc call him to order b4 i loose my temper

Chief, the goal of education is not to get a job. THATS JUST WRONG. The goal of education is to acquire knowledge and skills on different aspect of life. Using it to get a job is secondary.


I agree Getting a sexy job is now the ultimate aim of every student but that further shows how underdeveloped our orientation is. Education is for knowledge and self development... That comes first before job creation or anything.

Why now? I could have had that in my school days.

LaurelP:
Promises and more promises.
Yet we see nothing

How will you see something when budget is just about to be passed?

Another promise.....non of the promised has been fulfiled yet....Buhari whether I like or not you are my president and I owe you my prayers to God to guide and protect you which is biblical and my civic duty but it is left for you to count your teeth with your tongue.

I just hear a new word dasukalize, but the promise of free education for tertiary institution I just hope they got it will .

U sure say dhiz buhari no hiqh for katsina weed shaa?......wat of arts students??.......

So, what next after that? Where is it leading us? How is he going to provide jobs for graduates who are already on the street talkless of the ones he's planning to offer free education?

Is the number of unemployed graduates in Nigeria not enough? Pls let's reason.

Just like Fela has said "na craze man be that o"

I think at this stage, funding the university and other higher learning institution should be of utmost priority rather than granting free education to the already populated tertiary institution.
The Countries that do this free education, lack students in these programs not infrastructure.
Its like putting the cart before the horse.

I'm sorry if I sounded a bit condescending it is not my intention. However, it is my belief that people who partake in the maths and sciences can easily do arts, however, they choose not to, because typically speaking, Sciences and Maths are more rewarding from a salary PoV and worldwide usage PoV.

The simple fact is that those who studied STEM fields don't realise how much power they have. The internet you are using is due to Maths, sciences and advancements in technology. The same goes for the Smartphone that you use on a daily basis, or a tablet if you have one. Technological advancements, Medical advancements are going to continue as humans continue to advance themselves further and further.

Keep in mind that building weapons (military aircraft, the avionics within a jet fighter, and the computer systems) requires a lot of math and physics. The head-mounted gear found inside of a jet plane to automatically shoot down another plane has a lot of high level computer science and physics algorithms (collision physics).

Everything is built around math and science. I can't over-emphasize it enough. Most people take it for granted and don't understand how important it is for a country to progress. It's the reason why India has the 3rd largest GDP in the world today. They have a plethora of engineers and scientists. Nigeria does as well, but many are abroad.....U.K., Saudi Arabia, United States, etc.

Buhari is doing the right thing, and only a f00l would condemn him for it (not talking about you really, just the ethnic bigots found in this thread).

I agree that's equally important, but you forget one thing. Buhari is recovering a lot of stolen funds from corrupt former government officials. Nigerians should be thanking him, instead some f00ls are bad-mouthing him.

EDIT: Keep in mind Buhari recently laid off a lot of non-progressive people working at these universities. I believe that a reformation is in plain sight. The main is definitely a visionary. He has done more than Jonathan has done in just a few months.
