Friend01: AMCON does not 'shut down' businesses...they take over businesses who owe a debt that they are not paying on time..and ensure that the debt is paid in full. In the case of Silverbird....AMCON took over a debt owed Union Bank by Silverbird...and then took over Silverbird to ensure the debt was paid according to the terms and condtions.Once debt paid, AMCON Hands off. Silverbird stayed open...because if Silverbird was closed...AMCON won't have gotten back their money...plus selling the company? (Who buys a debt ridden company). |

hakeem4:I think if they are can't manage our schools and the only option available is to privatize it. They might as well privatize the country so that foreigners can run it. I smell shit! 1 Like |

greenek: The problem is most of you guys want Harvard and Yale level at fees less than @$200 per annum. Who go pay am? As the VC of ABU said last year in a speech...if you want Cambridge (and by extension Harvard and Yaledegees)...you better pay Cambridge level fees (Cambridge costs at least 9000 pounds sterling yearly for a UK student,more for a foreigner). 1 Like |

theoldpretender: Yes the tax rate is low in Nigeria, but not too low when you bring in the principle of proportionality of tax. The same Danish worker would earn 500naira and Nigerian worker would earn 50naira, you can't collect 50% for tax in both countries. The only occupation in Nigeria that pays more than any other country is politics |

myboy2111: State universites in the US charge fees of about $3000-10000,some even higher ($3000 is the cheapest I have seen). Nigerian universites charge fees less than $200 (government owned state universites) Not the same. |

myboy2111: Well.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_university vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_university It's difficult to decipher which is more. But, in most of the countries which are publically (government) funded. They have stable governments which function well enough to pay teachers and assign money to the institutions... Nigeria has shown it cannot do that. So they might as well privatise them so that someone can run them properly. |

theoldpretender: This statement by the vc is not true. How many Nigerian student knows Harvard standard? What students require is 100% commitment from lecturers which dey don't get. My friends that studied building In school, the lecturers wanted the department to give them bus, funds to go and watch construction process outside school. This was nice but foolish. In school, there were more than 10 construction work ongoing, it would cost 0naira to go there, but they wanted funds to go outside. No fund, no site seeing |

If Government can sell the Universities and use the money they spend on education to fund student loan, then we will begin to see progress |

NessaBoo:There are few ways to attract external funding because universities are not very productive. They're not productive largely because they're not well funded. Hope you see the nice catch-22 we're in right there. Education is the bedrock of development in any nation. Without it, development will be a mere wish. You can't come and commercialize education because it will be priced out of the reach of children of the poor, whereas education should be a right and not a privilege.Breaking out of the catch-22 above requires sacrifices from all stakeholders. 1. Government has to keep increasing funding levels. You may not know this, but universities have generally improved slowly but steadily over the last two decades. We need to increase the tempo. 2. The Universities: have to maximize every naira of funding. Mediocrity in the universities is a big problem that needs to be addressed. Government needs to find ways to hold us more accountable. 3. Students: students have to pay more. It beats my imagination that anyone would want to pay $120 for something which costs $40,000 elsewhere, and yet express surprise that the certificate is almost worthless. Nobody is asking for thousands of dollars, but lets get real here for a second!! There's no need to privatize the universities. That's an unreasonable solution, but only just as unreasonable as students insisting on maintaining the status quo wrt school fees, a mindset which arises from the erroneous belief that tertiary education is a right. 2 Likes |

We should also make national assembly a part time work at 5k per sitting as there is no reasonable work you people are doing than sharing money and fighting over juicy committee. |

greenek: You can't give what you don't have. One of the effects of poor funding is failure to attract/retain top minds as lecturers. What you see as lecturers not giving 100% commitment, I see as a poorly-funded system saddled with the wrong sort of lecturers. 1 Like |
