What amount of education Do nigerian student expect to get, after paying tuition fee as low as #20'000 which is the amount been payd in fedral universities. as compared to what is being paid in other forign universities..

0monnakoda: You are the one who is lazy and unthinking. Nigeria cannot afford? $7 Billion over what period 1 week ,1 month? I would rather not have fuel subsidy than the rubbish our Universities churn out much of which is on display on Nairaland. Nigerians spend billions on private universities and foreign ones too. We need to have a debate about HOW university education is funded. Going forward it probably should not be free and students need to pay more realistic fees.Government should decide to privatize many if not all the universities. Apart from corruption there is a lot of waste in our government eg Presidential jets ,Aso rock Feeding budget etc.
In just one year GEJ spent over 1 trilion naira that was NOT in the budget n fraudulent SUBSIDY bills so it is not true there is no money but even if there is money . I still argue students should pay tuition,and standards shoud be raised so our Universities can be competitive and PROFITABLE

yunglykmine: They shuld have asked for the whole annual budget nau..

profola2be:
And you should have told your LOW thinking President not to have entered into an Agreement it can't fulfil!

Walelavender: I believe no substantial amount(3trillon) injected to education (responsibly) would be too much.However we should not be oblivious of the fact that the economy of this nation is going downhill as a result of wastages. Students should not be punished for this act of financial recklessness by the government. ASUU should please soft pedal,accept the so~called 'peanut'(130bllion) & fight another day for posterity sake.

berem: ASUU is not the only problem facing Nigeria but funding education should be of great concern.You cannot pretend to deny the fact that there's an absolute rot and decay in the education sector.If ASUU makes a demand to restore back the sector,why should they be denied of their demands? FG has the money so they should pay it.An agreement is always an agreement!

[/quote]The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Dr. Nasir Fagge, has accused the federal government of not telling Nigerians the truth about the demand of the union as regards the government’s statement that the union's demand has been met.
According to Fagge, ASUU had a Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with the federal government for it to spend over N3 trillion to turn around the fortune of all federal and state universities and also to better the lot of the educational sector in the country.[quote]

berem: Did Ngozi Okonjo Iweala or Sanusi Lamido tell you the FG doesn't have that kind of money to give to ASUU? Sentiments aside,FG should stop telling Nigerians that the strike is being politicized and pay the gaddiem money to ASUU! My younger brother is already tired of staying at home!

Ada Nri1: Please stop saying that ASSU wants to use the money to restore back
the sector. We both know it's not true. If you passed thru a Nigerian university you will understand that those lecturers don't care about anything else but their
pay. If govt pays this staggering amount to just universities alone what of polytechnics and colleges of education. Let's be realistic and stop bringing hatred of GEJ into everything.
ASSU started this fight telling students
that politicians were earning jumbo pay and they also want to, now that has it has become an unpopular reason they have turned it into a fight for saving Nigerian universities. There is no difference between those lecturers and Nigerian politicians.

SMH
transfer your aggression to the FG, ASUU has nothing to do with the fund, they just want a better working infrastructure that the FG promised them. abi dem jazz them when them sign the agreement?

timpaker:

Please permit me to correct you, the money will not be under ASUU care when released, It will be disbursed to the university council ( which is controlled by the FG), so basically what ASUU is doing to imploring the government to revitalize the educational section, #DATSALL

emmaelectelect: Friend If GEJ adopt OBJ style by stopping this guys Salaries they will surely return to class and there woun't be need to ask if Sanusi or Iweala got that kind of cash

ITbomb:
I just wish everybody including the probably ignorant Nigerian students could understand this.
[size=14pt]ASUU is saying release N3trn to the Governing Council of Universities (SSANU not ASUU) to use and equip ur classroom , laboratories, engineering workshops, hostel and you all are here shouting it is too much[/size] . When Senators are using the same amount to furnish their houses home and abroad.
