I shee

Hope the money will be digitally monitored.

Wow

Really?

They should do more than that. How much is a senator's salary?

Price of everything keeps increasing yearly

National cake tinx

My kinda News

Discrimination even in University budgetary allocation.

Audio money

ASUU now has another reason to go on another strike once the ongoing one is called off.

Harvard's budget is about $6 billion per year

kk...40% of this will be stolen by University mgt and staff. 50% of the one meant for R&D will be used by the lecturers to buy big cars, carry side chicks and send their own children to UK universities. What a joke of a country

And yet some of the federal universities are nothing to write home about,so much Budgeted nothing to show for it what a pity.

Anybody putting hope on a budget which the government will borrow to fund added to the one criminals will steal is high on madagascar dope.

Before you rejoice, check how much has always been budgeted for these universities previously. To budget is one thing, to have money to implement is another thing, to really implement when the money comes is still another thing.

We hope the money will eventually get to the schools beyond the paper talk

Seems I should submit application now....

Ok

Las las

this is Nigeria! Not USA

Our Ivy League towers would have gone higher than this is this budgetary scheme had been deployed over the years.

Let those who do not make this batch be included in the next budgetary planning.

However, this may be hindered by the another educational policies of the incoming administration.

Good move.

ASUU strike doesn't affect the educational standard of our student in school but the lectures wages... Let ASUU have have a rethink

So the universities that opt out during this strike nko?

Wetin b the achievement of state universities in this strike except from lecturers and profs getting more money?

State Universities should stop going on strike because of Federal Universities.

Omo with the way I'm seeing this money ehn when it comes to allocating it to each faculty or wherever It will go. The fight that is gonna with it go pass that of house of assembly

This is my fear,because I know a lot of VCs and university management would start building mansions soon because there is almost a zero audit of these universities.

I still remember way back in my undergraduate days many years ago how the Uniben school management got super rich and they were never audited.

Government done try
But make dragon no
Come swallow the money

Okay
