Eventually students have to pay for quality education. Besides University demand has to be controlled by fees. The population in Nigeria is too high. This happened in LASU and the trend will continue. However government should identify priority courses and award scholarships on merit. University is not for everyone. We need to emphasize diplomas in practical areas like car mechanic/technician,Shoemaking,Carpentry, Tailoring etc. In a country of 140 million people there should be jobs for tailors shoemakers etc. Why don't we make Suits,Shirts ties, boots etc. We have everything required and that is where government needs to focus training on not degrees that don't add value.
Nigeria should not be importing clothes,furniture and basic goods

Mr Aboki: [b]I'm very much in support of Universities charging a justifiable tuition fee..

YEAH!!! I know say people dey suffer .. BUT! I was raised to understand that Education is not only expensive but also priceless. If your papa no fit afford to send you go Private University or Abroad, then I'm sorry, you have got to hussle hard.

Okay! I know say some people don set to curse this shoe-shining Aboki.. grin Please heres my Logic;

1. A University is an expensive venture to run and operate. Go ask MIT and Harvard how much it costs them to maintain their high standards. #In Pidgin:: Better soup and money have alot in common..

2. The Nigerian government obviously lacks the ability to run anything not even a race.. Look at all their failed ventures like: NITEL, NEPA, PHCN, WATER BOARD, e.t.c.. Just like in business, the only successful Educational institutions in Nigeria are all privately run. NO SURPRISES. So if we need progress in the Educational system, we need to privatise all our Federal Univeristies and even state Universities.. Or make them autonomous.. Let them charge their own fees and determine their own salary structure. Saves us the problem of ASUU strike. However, the power of NANS should be preserved and fine tuned in a way.

3. MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS!!!! Ghen! Ghen!!!! SO the government through the ministry of education can set up a scholarship fund system based on merit. If your CGPA|CWA drops below a certain benchmark, you get a certain percent of your tuition in scholarship. It can be graded upwards to accomodate average - top class students. If you are below average, you either buckle up or make your daddy get a good paying job to pay for your tuition. #Period!



I believe that this will bring about a serious turn around in our education system, eliminate all these half baked graduates that only went to school because it was free|cheap and poorly run..




#Thats all..

Thats why many Abokis no dey even bother to go school... grin

I quite agree with you. But it will not be funny initially especially the tution fees issue. It will also make lecturers and universities to sit up and stop waiting for govt largess like most states do in Nigeria now.

They should not warn. They should just increase the fees, get the money and get on with it. If government will not pay, those who are stakeholders should.
Re: ASUU Foresees Increase In Fees, If Demands Not Met by igbsam(m): 6:41pm On Sep 11, 2013
When I said everyone including various stakeholders should join in protesting this non-challant attitude the fg is showing towards the educational sector of this country., dem talk say I dey play. Sebi now, the protest wants to take another dimension. We shall see the outcome.

I said it and I will say it again; ASUU should never be blamed for the strike. If the fg is not ready to commit itself to a better education in this country, then its a waste going about with just a paper called certificate with no knowledge of what you went to school to study.

No good amenities in place in all Nigerian universities just to mention a few. And we are here blaming ASUU. With time you guys wud understand what ASUU is fighting for and not just for their own interests.

You should take your time and go through what they requested the fg to do. Simple.

Crime is a choice. Has nothing to do with society. If not the politicians who loot will blame society for their actions and no one has the right to hold them accountable.

Yes, I will by paying any fees or forsaking the whole thing and getting something rlse to do. University education is not the ways and means to all in life. At least that's what you can see on the streets everyday.

Tuition fees will be introduced someday if we must have universities that will compete favorably with world class institutions. What should be the focus is how to reinstate the scholarships/bursaries of the past which many of us benefitted from. Most state govts gave bursaries to their students in the late 70s and 80s. It was enough to cover feeding, accomodation and books for a session. If the burden became too much at a point in time, they should have given preference to indigent students at least. Anyway a small amount payable per semester should suffice considering the large population in public universities. For instance, 10000 from 15000 students will generate 150m.

Most Public universities in America is run by govt and multinational companies together. But Government suppose to provide an avenue in which student can get grants and loan in paying the school fess if they want to go through this route. FYI the grants/and some of the loans America give their students is tax dollar money paid for by the previous generation to help current generation as the current generation will now work to pay taxes for the future generations to go to school.. As you can see everything is connected, every sector of the country needs to be addressed for this to work smoothly.

Re: ASUU Foresees Increase In Fees, If Demands Not Met by Reference(m): 7:19pm On Sep 11, 2013
Education is a product and college education is a very expensive product. It has great potentials but unfortunately we don't seem to recognise its value in this country so we treat it with disdain. And I mean all stakeholders.

If goverment knew the potentials of education for real and lasting transformation they will invest everything in it.

If lecturers realised this too they would even put their little money into it knowing it has sure returns.

And if parents and students truly understand its worth they would pay any price to acquire it.

But alas everyone is waiting for everyone else to make the first move. That doesn't sound like ten hungry men around a plate of food. That doesn't look like something that has any value at all. Therein lies the problem. We have very little values as a nation.

But I'm sure that when we get to the base of human existence. When we can no longer even tie our shoe laces then things will improve. So there is hope.
