Universities again! Na wa ooooh

who dem epp? churning out graduates like biscuits with no children to eat them.

The Govt knows exactly what it pays for each student per session and is eager to avoid the huge subsidy it gives to too many public uni students.
If let say at average of over N200,000 FG spends per year on each undergrads is accumulated and used to help these student start up business as they graduate from private unis it will go a long way in helping to solve unemployment challenge.

Nigeria, the country with the highest number of university in Africa, yet we are backward. May Almighty God save us.

I sight PAMO in port harcourt and my mind reminds me of SIR DR Peter odili

Building more universities without improving the quality of our education and the universities.

When will this country be blessed with pragmatic and visionary leaders?
