The Nigerian Senate is set to summon no fewer than 38 Vice Chancellors of Federal Universities in the country over increase in tuition fees.
This was disclosed by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND, Senator Barau Jibrin, on Tuesday.

Recall that the chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of the University of Ibadan, Deji Omole, said that 38 Universities have increased their tuition fees.

He credited the increment to poor funding of the institutions by the Federal Government.

Some of the institutions mentioned include: University of Lagos (UNILAG), Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), University of Nigeria (UNN), Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Bayero University Kano (BUK), University of Abuja, Usman Danfodiyo University (UDUS),

University of Ilorin, and National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) among others.

Senator Jibrin said the VCs would be invited to defend the increment when the Senate resumes from Sallah break next Tuesday.

You are summoning vcs over hike in tuition fees but yet to explain what happens to millions allocated for your constituency allowances.

Lol. I heard the cattle rearer is on life support

Nobody should summon any body , every single cost component of running schools under Buhari has increased by 3 times so school fees must go up , the only person to be summoned is the very incompetent Buhari or his ministers

Our senators amaze me a lot. Well, if they have the audacity to summon the VCs, note the word summon, then it means that the government has been playing its part in the disbursement of funds. Just saying tho

You're not far from the truth though.

I think so too.

The implication is there is every likelihood the vcs have something up their sleeves.

But the issue is that the legislooters are worse.

Anyway, they might just be playing some make-belief scripts for we, "the gullible and helpless" spectators.

Na so. While I agree that our senators are professional thieves, I can authoritatively tell u that the most corrupt agency in this country is the civil service and that includes the academia.
