38 Nigerian Universities increase tuition fees – ASUU
No fewer than 38 universities across the country have increased their tuition fees as a result of poor funding by the Federal and State governments.

The Chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan Chapter, Dr Deji Omole, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday.

The statement which assessed the two years of President Muhammadu Buhari in office, lamented that the current government had made Nigerians poorer.

Omole said that the public education was not taken seriously because most children of the rich and those in high offices do not attend school in Nigeria.

“The latest increment might be attributed to poor funding by the federal and state governments as ASUU poorly rated the President Muhammadu Buhari in the area of funding of university education.

ASUU also noted that it would be difficult for any Nigeria university to effectively compete globally with the inadequate allocation of budgetary funding as prescribed by UNESCO to fund education.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that University of Lagos (UNILAG) which was paying N14, 500 would now pay N63, 500 as tuition fees.

Education is not for the poor

Cc; Lalasticlala

OK let me start hustling for my fees since these people have increase my fees.

modified:
I will be finishing my 2nd semester exams on Saturday,in need of a 3-4 months job.I don't mind the amount and I can do any work,be it sales boy,waiter, receptionist(plus I'm a good cook).my location is warri

Fg really should do something

choi no joy at all
dis is 2 much na
Job ain't guaranteed wen u even graduate
Education can't make u rich

Anticipated

Good. Is good we assist the govt.

This problem did not start today

In 2009, ASUU signed an agreement guaranteeing 3 trillion naira in extra funding for the next 2 years.

By 2013, the money was not paid. ASUU went on strike, govt then told them after much delay that they could afford 1 trillion naira....over 5 years.

ASUU , under pressure from ordinary Nigerians took the deal.

Since then , only 200 bn of that money has been paid.

Consider also that all the good universities abroad have budgets in excess of $100million and above. Nigerian universities manage at most $10 million, of they are lucky.

Also, it costs 600000 naira to train one university student in one year.

Finally, by my own estimates, Nigerian universities need 10 trillion naira yearly. Our budget is 8 trillion. Even at 26 % of budget for education, that won't be enough.

You see why fees have to go up ? Even if times were good?

Dem Don hijack Power from Buhari all discount wicked vcs.

Naija.. we hail oo

The change we all prayed for has come

They all voted change , so let them live with it

my brother they are crazy

Very soon, parents will no longer allow their children to choose universities of their choice, parents will choose schools for their kids based on what they can afford. Now that northern schools are cheaper than southern universities, the unity begging will become very serious

Here we go again great Nigeria.

More strike I see..... Now the change they want ,now they see


In lalasticlala's voice ... You never che somethin

Who is to be blame for this?

Likes for Buhari/Osibanjo

Share for Gej/Sambo

I think education is very expensive in the "land of the rising sun" compare to the other part of the federation, how can a student pay 150k for state university and the same state pays graduate a token of 15k as salary?, Agitators direct your anger to the grassroots level first before going "federal", we have to tell ourselves the home truth,

It's very sad that our country has degenerated to this.. what do the masses benefit from this useless country if i may ask?

gadgetsngs:
They all voted change , so let them live with it

I didn't vote change and I'm unizik.

300% increase. All those involved in this fvckery will know no fvcking peace.

Fvck Nigeria, Bleep school.

Abeg any yahoo guy willing to take in an apprentice?

Good
Remember every protester is anti Nigerian

UNN never even start sef...wen they wanto increase, its at least 10k extra
#proudSuperLION

God saved ui
Na 2020 dem for resume

I paid 15k in 2006 in University of Abuja.

Why won't there be high rate in crime.. And our female turning something else while in school... The future is not guaranteed.... Nigeria is not secured

E be like say the management of Unilorin no well at all... From 16k to 75k? I paid 17k last session faa, how would I pay 75k in final year

then after all these you start earning 30k from NPower

It is well.

Jesus! The price hike is unbelieveable. The economy is already bad and the school fees is increased. How do you want some financially averaged parents to cope? Nigeria is in ruins ah swear..

Dividends of Progressives and Change Mantra. Until Nigerians carefully understands no politician cares about the masses, stop reasoning along tribal, religious and immediate benefit sentiments, ask the right questions, be open to productive ideas and see all politician as an enemy, I'm afraid things will at best be the same.
