The Foreign Exchange (Forex) crisis plaguing the country, which has result­ed in the naira depreciating con­siderably low against the United States dollar, may force Nigerian students abroad into drug busi­ness for survival, Governor Ad­ams Oshiomhole of Edo State has warned.
Oshiomhole, who stated this on Wednesday when he led some members of his cabinet and prin­cipal officers of the new Edo Uni­versity, Iyamoh, to the National Universities Commission (NUC), said many of the students are trapped as a result of the inabil­ity of their parents to send them money because of the forex issue.
His words: “Now, people are trapped; if you cannot deliv­er school fees to them, some of them will resort to drugs and oth­er things and give Nigeria a bad name.”
The governor said the new university would provide access to a large chunk of Nigerian students seeking admission, as well as pro­viding alternative to those who in­tend to school in other countries.
“If we look at how much we are exporting to foreign universi­ties; if we have sensible policies here that charge relative fees for students who can afford it and we are saying, don’t go to Ghana be­cause here in Edo you will get the quality school but you have to pay for it,” he said.
Oshiomhole, who berated politicians’ attitude towards for­mulating a national policy on ed­ucation, said it was unjustifiable for government to continue to pretend about delivering free uni­versity education.
He said: “The political elites have a lot of hypocrisy when it comes to the time of fashioning out public policy on education. We have resulted to a privatised solution to a matter that requires a national policy.
“Every senior Nigerian, pub­lic or private, now finds it com­fortable in sending the child to UK, US where you pay a mini­mum of $40,000 yearly or even $60,000, depending on the uni­versity. Those who cannot afford it send their children to Ghana and we allow our universities to remain where they are; we are not able to encourage them to charge appropriate fees and we pretend we can deliver quality free univer­sity education,” he said.
While calling for the intro­duction of a special mechanism that supports education for chil­dren from poor homes, the gover­nor decried the current situation where education subsidy is pro­vided for all Nigerians.
“In Nigeria, we are running a generalised system of subsidy where a child that drives a BMW car to the University of Abuja and the one from Gwagwalada public school, who cannot afford a bicy­cle, the Nigerian government pro­vides subsidy for both.
“If a child whose father has a private jet finds himself in the University of Maiduguri and a child of a level 2 worker, who earns N20,000 finds himself in the same university, the Nigeria gov­ernment delivers subsidy to both the rich and poor. For me, it is just crazy,” Oshiomhole reasoned

Abegi, who still sabi dis song?

I will personally drag anyone that will give wailing from to osho to ecowas court. the lunatic better remain in his zombie camp, we don't want any imposter in our league.




Buhari is a dullard for life.

Nobody should sell wailing form to Oshiomole

The problem with Nigerians today is same with 200 years ago.
Like Biafra did when it tried to create an over-priced currency and met rejection and stiff resistance from every nation of the earth. The parents of the children involve should look for dollars by themselves and never have to force the value-less Naira on the government.

Oshomole have seen failure coming in Edo election so he is now learning waillers ways of wailing.

Osho Baba don join wailers union
No form please

This Governor didnt construct a single block in AAU Ekpoma,yet increased the school fees by over 800%.Today he is angling to licence another state university,this time sited in his village.How many states in Nigeria own two state universities.He has succeded in isolating some sections of the state.Some persons are clapping and urging him on to the detriments of the state.we are patiently watching and waiting.
