This school is only meant for the children of the thieves in Nigeria. No man who genuinely made money can afford the price of this school.

It’s not up to 1m abroad!😊

Instead of paying these huge sums while studying in kidnappers and terrorists infected region, I would send my ward to foreign countries for study

Just fly your kids abroad, he comes back with a better and more respected degree and even have chances of a 2nd citizenship

Bro it's possible. If I tell you how much my master's program cost, you would agree with me that their fee is very affordable.

Why waste such money in Nigeria, when you can use it to be someone Abroad.

Although 12 million can be for just a year course in Canada, even without considering accomodation and monthly groceries.

So I think it's even too cheap.

with mindset, there's only a level you can attain in life.

People are making legit money on the steady

How much is minimum wage again..
Yaa you got it..

Nawa

The elites will be able to afford tuition this high, and normal tuition.

If it were a Greater good project like it was insinuated, the fees would have been more affordable for everyone who seeks to be educated there.

No wonder He …..

U are right, and also having the possibility of checking up on your wards during intervals. Any parent who has the ability to send their wards has the ability to fly abroad and has much more at his disposal.

What about the university built by former governor of bayelsa state...held they pay in dollars. University wey dey inside one village

It's a private university na, if you can't afford there they are govt owned universities around where you can get even better service like SUMAS Nsukka, LASU, DOU Asaba, ABU Zaria

Standard education costs money. These kind of schools are meant for the wealthy who wants to keep connection within their circle.

Not all are thieves.

If the uni provided education that matched their peers in advanced countries, parents may prefer to send their children here. It's dar cheaper for them than most Western universities, especially those in th US.

Yes, HENSARD university in Toru-Orua community, Sagbama LGA, Bayelsa.
An institution in his community will aid development of the community and exposure for the natives.
It's a good initiative
