The Federal Government through the Minister Of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, represented by the Director of Tertiary Education, Hajiya Fatima Ahmad had urged public Institutions to seek alternative funding due to the recession, he also adviced institution to increase the level Information Communication Technology, as the World had move from a normal class to a Digital class. He said, "Resource constraint is a challenge we are facing. However, the reality for now is the effective and efficient management of all resources available –human, material or financial. I would also want to urge you to come up with a framework for funding tertiary education to augment the statutory sources which are not adequate. This is critical because education, as we all know, is a critical nexus in the development process. “With the present drive for global comparability and harmonisation of tertiary education qualifications, ICT deployment is a must feature in our educational institutions. The current deployment is low and most education officials lack ICT skills. “There is also a shortage of ICT personnel across the nation. Issues of broadband and power outages are constraining factors that government is trying to address. However, we must look out for alternative support because government cannot do it alone.” The issue of alternative funding was also stressed by the Senate President who was represented by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Education and Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Jibrin Bala, who pledged the support of the Senate to making laws to further assist the education sector.

God help us

I see Buhari performing better than o.cbanjo

This is the real End time Govt! This will result in outrageous school fees and more illiteracy in the country, cos people won't be able to pay what the schools will demand.
The country is in recession, citizens can't even feed well, some of them have 3 to four kids in tertiary institutions, and now this??
Trust me, this govt does not like the citizens, they are the true enemy of Nigeria,
An Enemy is he who tries to make Education difficult for you!

Imagine him saying the world is going digital?
Other countries and struggling for free education, but not in Nigeria.. THE GOVT IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SHORT CUT, INSTEAD OF CRACKING THEIR BRAINS.
Oh the universities should get digital, while the govt remains analog with silly greedy men in charge.

They should stress also that said "alternative funding" should not come from her students.

Like i once said. What happened to public secondary schools will soon happen to public universities. Yeye nation.

And Exactly What Would Now Be Government's Responsibility When The Citizenry Does Everything?

Alternative funding for everything.
That is why things are falling apart.

Very nice idea
The sponsors of Martina dance hall, BBN and other associated useless events like beauty pageants can be contacted.

I seriously don't know how you guys reason. recession is hitting the economy hard, the govt won't be able to adequately finance tertiary inst so the best bet for them is to advice schools to come up with alternative source of funding, not to replace govt allocation but to supplement their funding.
so going digital is short cut?you Okay. the ratio of lectures to students is 1:200 on average. so learning will be more effective if digital media is introduced in all classes... this 21st century we should have moved from the traditional teacher and learner to a 3 way learning which includes media but people like you are taking up back.
so madame think deeply before you post something's online.

I do not agree with this. Why are they public institutions then? Now this will leave the students at the mercy of their lecturers/School management. I have someone currently running MSc. program at UNEC. Every week she comes back home with one particular demand or the other from their HOD/lecturers.
First few weeks after she gained admission into UNEC, they were mandated to change the windows in their class and also made to buy Air Conditioners and a Projector.
To maintain a cordial relationship with their lecturers, they are mandated to attend individual events like burials organized by their lecturer.
During presentations, they'll have to cook for the lecturers. Infact at one time, the HOD demanded that the students buy fowls and split each fowl into just four parts for them.
Also another demand currently on is that since their MSc session has spilled into another year, they'll have to pay another school fee.
The lecturers treat their students like they are doing them a favour. Since her admission, I have spent much more than I paid for school fee.
One lecturer even told the students, 'you know UNN have wahala and you people still came to school here. No one asked you or begged you to come so you'll have to endure and cooperate with the wahala'... Imagine that.
Now they have been told officially to seek alternative means of funding, the school would frustrate the students much more.

Absolutely imperative...... Alternative funding for our tertiary institutions is the way to go!

No sir, this is partial privatisation. Alternative funding can come in form of research grants, sports, products manufacturing and products improvement to companies. plenty other ways to.
