Were is this country heading to?

Asup and ASUU are only expressing their grievances towards the rather repulsive and disgusting treatment of the education system. Imagine the huge amount of money being owned -- Abacha's loot can settle this issues sef. But this current government lacks the mind of openness and straightforwardness. Even the last government isn't to be left aside. Pdp literally crippled the education system by owing huge amount of money, and because Government is all about continuity, APC, literally inherited the problems. There should be a total overhaul of the system. Education should receive more funding. Slash the salaries of senators, and the percent gained is enough to pay up the said debt.

Bros,

While I agree with in you in part, I also think we are running a not sustainable system in our higher institutions. At this rate, govt will contnue to have these problems with lecturers as govt is not the right organ to run higher institutions. Universities and Polys should drive towards autonomy. They should be self-funded. Let govt privatise some of their stakeholding in these higher institutions and let private players come in. Universities can more than generate enough that will not only pay all the welfare of the lecturers, but will also adequately equip it and leave some money to spare.

In foreign institutions, private organisations pump huge amount of monies into universities to fund research and also as part of their social responsibility. The amount of money in the foundations of some universities abroad is more than the foreign reserves of some African countries. We really need to rethink longer term

The only language FG understands and responds to, is strike, this is very BAD
