What is the salary of a major general/GCFR that will make him to float a private university if not by corruption?
A man who should strengthen public Institutions as president in favour of the poor masses went on to establish a private university for the rich while neglecting the poor. The same Man want the rich to colonize fund meant for the poor as loan.
Very selfish and wicked. He wants more students in his university via government loan not minding the survival of public Institutions.

article1:
If parents have the capacity to send their children to private university that pay higher amount as school fees then, what do they need the FG loan for? This loan according to the FG is to assist the children of the downtrodden in the society...
this baba should please hold his peace, why didn't he implement same during his government even when the economy was better? they just know a way of turning the citizens against the government of the day. though I'm not a fan or supporter of this government but still baba should not add more to the problem he refused to solve within his eight years.

In most cases, the people who can afford private university pay more in taxes so why shouldnt they benefit from the tax they pay? Lets be realist, its a loan not a gift.

I disagree with you, a parent may I have other motive, if I send my child to Private uni, my reason might be because I don't want him to face strike, which waste people time. So I will pay through thick and thin to achieve that.

Never a bad idea. As some parents send their wards to private institutions because the govt schools admits a limited number. These parents,while trying to show their children they are ready to go extra miles for them,end up buying the private school idea even though it hurts their pockets.

If we go by what you are saying, then people who attend Harvard shouldn't be applying for US federal education loan. Interestingly, they do.

Small thing una don start to compare with US, UK.... We are not the same. Let's stick to what is going to work for us. Why would you go and take federal government loan to sponsor your children to uni. If you don't want them in federal uni, then you can approach bank for a loan.

He has the upper hand to access all the money for his university and at the end many won't pay back and would Japa. Case closed. No be Naija again. Lol.


The fees are outrageous and the staff there receive peanut compared to the amount of money students pay. Any private university that wants to benefit should normalize their fees to that of government institutions and pay their staff what're obtainable in government-owned institutions. And there should be MOU signed to that effect.

However, the exclusion of private universities is at the detriment of some struggling parents that sent their children or wards to private university due to inability to secure a better government-owned institutions. But overall, the private university owner will gain more, and there will be inability to pay back after schooling due to outrageous fees private universities charge.

If you have the money to send your child to private uni then there is no reason for you to take federal government loan. You can approach bank for that and let the poor breath

They will even hijack it and you will start seeing politicians and their families alone getting the loan which they will not even pay back and we will be back where we were. Some Nigerians have just refused to get sense

Then send your child to the federal university if you can't afford it. So they should give money reserved for those that don't have to you that have excess so the needy will remain on the street without education?

Private schools may be included later but for now, the available funds will cover more beneficiaries if it's limited to govt-owned tertiary institutions. Private school fees are very expensive, can be raised arbitrarily and their owners can't accept fees Federal Government charges students in govt institutions.

Being in Private uni have already proved a level of financial capacity so i doubt govt will include them
Re: Student Loan Scheme: Include Private Universities’ Students – Obasanjo by Daystar7: 8:36am On Apr 23
Old man is right...
You can't exclude private university students for whatever reason, their parents pay tax too. They pay more tax and they are so affected by Tinubuconomics. Many importers went broke and are in serious debt and they have kids in private and public institutions too, so it's a must the loan is extended to the private universities too.
This is common sense and not up for debate. Period!

My take is that private institutions should be included. We have low income parents having children in private polytechnics, colleges and universities. They deserve to be supported.
We also have parents who put their children in private universities cos they can afford it at the time but are now struggling due to this harsh economy.
Some parents with children in public schs are richer than some in private schs, so why discrimanting.
