The Vice Chancellor, Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu, Prof. Christian Anieke, has said that government could not continue to finance education, if the best must be achieved in the sector. Speaking during their 7th pre-matriculation media briefing, Anieke said that wholesome education was capital-intensive and government lacked the needed resources to grow the sector to attain enviable heights. He said that it would be difficult for government to provide all the funds needed for research purposes, adding that scholars and other stakeholders needed grants from donor agencies. “This is one thing that is lacking in Nigeria. We depend on government to finance education but the government has no money to do that,” he said. Anieke said that the institution understood the challenges in the sector and the need to encourage the academic staff to improve upon their intellectual capacity. “Our university insists that, as a scholar, you must be writing grants. Government has no money to fund researches. “You can get up to N100 million to do your research work and universities are rated based on the number of scholars who get grants for their different researches,” he said. He said that the country would be a very difficult setting for academic activities if the right things were not done. “But we at Godfrey Okoye University have come a long way and many friends have supported us,” he said.

May God give this Okoro small sense. Useless Prof.
