Photos: Ayo Fayose's Son Graduates From Covenant University, Says; "Children Of Public Office Holders Should Attend Schools In Nigeria"

Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose's fourth son, Rogba, graduated from Covenant University in Ogun state yesterday July 21st. Fayose in company of his wife, Feyisetan and other sons, attended the convocation ceremony which held in the school's premises. While speaking to newsmen, Fayose called on Nigerians to invest in the country's education sector expressing belief that a Nigerian university can one day emerge best in the world with proper funding. According to him, Children of public office holders should attend schools in Nigeria.

"I won't condemn people for sending their wards to study abroad but I have always believed the best could be gotten here in Nigeria. During my first tenure as governor, I withdrew my sons from a private school(Olashore International School) to SPEB public primary school in Ekiti, an initiative of my then administration. My Sons graduated from Nigerian Universities, I want others to emulate me, we have the best here, we can choose to invest here. We talk and do. Whatever we say is what we practice. Apart from the fact that none of children attended schools abroad, I have never travelled out of the country for Medicare. Even though views of people like us might not be popular among the powers that be because we say the truth and act the truth, we won’t stop telling them what they do not like to hear and one of such is that the only way to improve the standard of education in the country is for children of holders of public office to experience what children of ordinary Nigerians are experiencing in schools in the country"he said.



Speaking further, Fayose said "As a parent, we are fulfilled. Graduating from here is a value added to his life, as the fourth son of the family and the third to graduate from this University, it gladdens our hearts and we are happy to identify with him, we thank God for his life and we thank the University for helping us to train him. When you have certificate issued to you, it comes with character, I urge modern day Nigerian graduates to make a sense out of the certificate and the character and take advantage of the opportunities they were exposed to so as to have a better tomorrow for themselves and the future generations. I wish these graduands the best and pray that the parents reap the fruits of their labour over them".

why covenant
what happen to university of AdoEkiti?

Why not send his son to ekiti state university? What's the difference between covenant and studying abroad when covenant lecturers are mostly expatriates? Fayose is a hypocrite

Covenant university cost N750,000 per session which is a little over 1000 pounds. I do not think that is in anyway comparable to studying abroad. Universities in the UK cost in excess of 10,000k pounds per session for foreign students.

Only 1 person graduated with a first class?

Well there are departments in cu that don't produce much first class. The highest ones are Accounting, Economics, Engineering and Architecture.

If he had sent his son to Ekiti state university, you would still come here to say why didn't Fayose send his son to Ado Poly

Mcowubaba:
Too many Gullible and illiterate people in this Country.
How can someone be comparing the fees of Covenant and that of Abroad (USA, Canada, UK, etc)

How much does Covenant students pay or spend, compared to foreign trained students ,?

Money used to train someone (1 person) in a University in USA, can be used in training 4 people in Covenant university

Ride on Fayose

Not to even talk of flight ticket of "to and fro" ffrom those countries.

don't mind them, the round ticket for USA now, Economy class is over 700K.
Just flight alone, we haven't talked about school fees of 30,000 USD per year, that's over 12 million Naira per year.

How much does Covenant students pay throughout their schooling

At least tax was paid to Nigerian government, Nigerian workforce was paid with their money, Naira was not used to buy dollars n no tax on school fees using dollars.

Unless ur sycophancy n hatred for Fayose is attached to your scrotum you have no case against Him.

If only bubu went to covenant university teaching hospital his case might have been slightly different n Nigerian money wouldn't be used on Aircraft parking lot.

This should not be news in the first place. Why should a public servant taken his children to a private university that pays close to a million be a news while foreign school tuition is not up to that. I remembered that one of OBJ sons graduated from ABU and another graduated from Obafemi Awolowo universities but he never made noise about it. A man that cannot put his son in a state owned university that pays lesser trying to campaign to us the need for public servants to do same. I heard a mass communication student pays #800,000, then what would a law student pays? Even in some foreign schools, medicine students don't pay us to #500,000.

It is almost like the brain power of the average Nigerian is permanently stunted to that of a 12 year old. It doesn't matter what he does. He is an incompetent corrupt official and his actions should never be applauded. What you all should be thinking and talking about is how to get him and people like him out of you lives permanently. You guys have some kind of undiagnosed amnesia that is spreading like wildfire in Nigeria. Smh

Please name one competent and corrupt free Nigeria politician. U must be high on Mary Jane

There are none. Do you know why? Because, unlike what you all think, the problem in Nigeria is not the leadership. It is you the citizenry. The citizenry in Nigeria is unbelievably bad and there is no way in hell a good leader can from the pool of you. You all just go to school to mark attendance. You don't learn anything. Democracy is "government of the people, by the people, for the people". "Of" the people. Meaning your leaders come from you and when you are bad, your leaders will be bad. (You can thank me later for teaching you something new. I could save you millions in education. Just ask me stuff and i will break it down for you) It is not by magic that Nigeria has not produced one good leader in over half a century. Half a century bro. Keep blaming your leaders. Don't worry. One will magically fall from the sky one day.

You have 33+ likes and quite a number of shares. You make a proposition that has no substance whatsoever or even parameter of measurement. And then as if we lack understanding quite good a number of likes implying there is agreement.

Abroad in the context you are using it has no meaning.
Abroad could mean Liberia, Ghana, Sudan, Kazakhstan, etc, etc

But I will be liberal and make presumptions. The number one destination for the education of our elite is the UK followed by the USA and Canada.

Annual tuition fees in the UK for an undergraduate degree are moving closer to £10k. Add to the tuition costs, accommodation fees and upkeep you really are talking about £30k per year to put your child through university in the UK comfortably. That is about 14 million naira plus at today's rate.

Convenant university annual average annual tuition fees are about 700k naira. Staying in the Halls of residence maybe 400k I guess upkeep for the year maybe a 500k or less or how much your parents want to spoil you. In total your costs are around 1.5 million naira annually in total.

So it will cost you around 10 times more to pursue a undergraduate programme of study in a UK university.

Essentially the proposition of comparison is nonsensical.

People are the same everywhere, what differentiate us is systems. The same Nigerians u mentioned do well and behave outside Nigeria, while don't they carry their so call bad characters there?

This is the reason we are calling for restructuring or breakup, the system need to change.

Outside that what fayose did was commendable weather u agree or not.

I think you are wrong here. It isn't about the fees, its about accessing quality education within the shores of the country. Why travel outside if covenant university which is Nigerian can offer the same quality? If the government pays more than just lip service to improving the quality of education in Nigeria, imagine the thousands of students that'd rather be schooled here than taken abroad and think about what boost such earnings will do to the economy. Do you have any idea how much is lost of tuition for overseas education pa.? His being a public office holder, does not prevent him from giving his kid the best education available, choosing to do it within the country, is a good case of leading by example. If you don't agree its, that's downright hypocrisy.

The difference is that money is retained in Nigeria not moved out of the country

andyanders:
That was a good one by Ayo Fayose. 99% of Nigerian politicians send their children to school abroad cus of the way they steal public fund and starch them abroad. They are all afraid of death of themselves and their immediate families in case their evil deeds are been exposed.

What Fayose has done, I do not think any of these our political office holders can do same cus of the evil they have committed as they are afraid to die. When anything happens, they escape abroad.

99% is false and is not true. Most politicians send their kids abroad which is true

hadizadeezy:
here is One gullible Nigerian........what's the difference between the fees abroad ati convenant?

There's a lot of difference. You paid with Naira and your money remains in your country.

Abroad, you convert your naira to dollars before paying tuition.

Fayose may not be perfect but I respect him for this singular act.

Local content is the key to growing a vibrant economy.
