The church doesn't have social responsibility. As a matter of fact,there is no law imposing religious body to have social responsibility. The church only help when the need arise but they are not obligated to render social responsibility

But the rake in billions in revenue

When do church need constitution to do the right thing?

If we must get it right we need to change the laws

In the UK church budget is submitted every year cos it's public funds

They rake billions as revenue as alleged by you. Do you have evidence to back your claim or you just assume based on what you see on ground?
The church is on track rather blame the government for not doing the right thing instead of the church. If the government was taking care of it citizens why would the burden be past on the church. The UK you cited are taking care of their citizens while the church augment. They needed to see the financial report of churches because of accountability to their members.

Young people do you believe Buhari does not really care about you now? 500k for Tuition? No be to port go private universities or how can parents afford this?

In case you didn't know universities used to provide 3 better square meals and laundry services (dem go pick your clothes for basket for your doormat!) Until Buhari cancelled it in the 80s. Una still wan vote am?

csnc:
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has rejected the hiking of school fees of university students as proposed by Dr Wale Babalakin, the chief government negotiator in the ASUU/Federal Government renegotiation exercise.

Prof. Lawan Abubakar, the Bauchi Zonal Coordinator of the Union made the disclosure at a press conference in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

Abubakar said, “One of the major issues our union wishes to bring to public domain is the wild idea of sharing the cost of education between the government and parents proposed by Dr. Wale Babalakin. This idea of sharing the cost of education since government alone cannot fund education, and that parents need to pay for it too.

“He proposed a minimum of N350, 000 as tuition fee for undergraduate students of Arts and Humanities, and N500, 000, for those in Sciences.

“Our union rejected the proposal based on the fact that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria clearly states that funding education is the sole responsibility of Governments at various levels and not parents,” he maintained.

He added, “In his response, he proposed the idea of an Education Bank, where students will obtain a loan of N1 million each, every session to pay the tuition fee and sustain themselves.
“However, our union also rejected the idea of Education Bank, because for one, not all the students will have access to loan, and for those who will access the loan, it is the same parents who served as sureties, and subsequently pay back the loan, considering the very high rate of unemployment in the country.

“Supposing that the student is able to secure a job after graduation, he cannot start a life while paying back a loan of 4 to 6 million naira, as the case may be.

“In this kind of situation, the graduate would be subjected to, when will he finish paying the loan and establish himself? He asked.
“Frustration will gradually set in and make them live a life of misery”, he further lamented.

The Zonal Coordinator said Babalakin, who owns a private University, gave all the aforementioned proposals because they are aimed at guaranteeing funding for private Universities.

He also said that the federal government owed the Universities revitalization fund of N1.1 trillion.
According to him, the federal government had in 2013 agreed to disburse the sum of N1.3 trillion for the revitalization of Nigeria universities, between 2013 and 2018, but said out of that amount only N200 billion has been released.

“The Bauchi zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), hereby reiterates its unflinching support to the National Leadership of the Union towards its untiring efforts and commitment to the implementation of the 2017 Memorandum of Action (MoA), and by extension the 2013 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the 2012 NEEDS Assessment Report, the 2012 Roadmap, the 2011 (MoU), indeed, the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement”.

On the financial situation bedeviling the university system in the country, the Zonal Coordinator lamented that it has continued to remain pathetic.

“The 7% of total budget allocated to the education sector in 2018 budget by the federal government of Nigeria is, to say the least, grossly below the UNESCO recommended minimum of 26%.

“As if this mirage is not bad enough, State Governments across the country are establishing State Universities and abandoning them to TEFUND, the brain child of ASUU as an intervention agency in the funding of education”, he decried.

He denied claims of a report credited to the Acting Minister of Finance, that N20 billion has been release to the Union.
“This is not true as common sense would not take this since ASUU is not an organ of government”, he stressed.

olawalebabs, Fynestboi come see our Leaders' critical thinking at its finest.

Nigerian leaders are all heartless, i don't blame them, when they steal from ordinary Nigerians to send their children abroad to get good education. As their plan is for the poor not to go school, may the water they drink, bath with be source of curse to them and their households.

Is this same babalakin they concessioner mmia, Ibadan express road, toll gates to? In fact, if he is same man, then they have concessioner the whole of Nigerian to him and Tinubu. I really feel sorry for we ordinary Nigerians and the youth. Is it really necessary to put our lives at risk to go and vote for people that will starve and then kill us because our votes does not count as we are just being used for their selfish ends. No.

Church makes billions? can you prove it with empirical facts or just assumption. If you are in the court of law can you tender an evidence to back your claim?

Words can be denied but documented evidence is rare.Oyedepo can wake up one morning and say " I never made such statement I was misquoted out of context"

traihit:


That's for you to see people who wouldn't read content but will look for shortcut to show they understand what's at stake. If that education bank is implemented with the way Nigeria is going, a world of extreme anarchy is what will follow with hundreds committing suicide because of misery. Africa is yet not wise. These guys want us to copy what's obtainable in US where getting well paid job is not that difficult instead of looking inwards and solving our problems in a unique way.

thank you. Exactly what i was going to comment. They just keep following the US like dogs, instead of looking for our own solutions our way. These Same people fail to realise that we are not under the same condition.

mrvitalis:


So you unwiked person

School fees should be free right? How much would it take to make our schools reach global standard we are talking about $5bn yearly where would government get such money

SMH how much is that even if it's a million dollars what would that affect?

This can't obviously work. There are so many things that has to be put in place in order, for it to work.

atleast it can equip one federal university to average standard....

stop justifying evil. Reason like a youth. Youth are taking over in other countries and you are here supporting a lifeless being whose children are abroad while u are here in Nigeria shouting up nepa up down.

Are you high?

It can't even equip one dept in engineering

mrvitalis:

That's a part time job... And who's problem is that if that's the best you can do?

That proposal is dead on arrival. It shows a government not in touch with reality on ground. Trying to copy US when you don’t have the same support system in place is stupid.

Nevee:

Lol making referrals to the past passes as an attack? Anyway, I read and understood it and I still maintain my stance. What sham in the guise of a loan system? [b]With which jobs are they going to pay back the 4-6 million? N-Power’s 30k? [/b]Or with unemployment that has been averaging 20% over 4 years now? This is putting the cart before the horse. Some people are just about to become overnight billionaires (mark these words). The banks will provide the funds, most of the loans will go bad, banks will run back to government, bailouts will be provided of course because of how sensitive the banking/financial system is, banks and this soon-to-be billionaires would start making untrue and unverifiable cases of their loans to the scheme going bad (just as the oil subsidy saga) and like that another leakage for sucking up public funds will be created. Lol do you know how many years it takes the average Nigerian graduate to get an “okay job” after graduation? And that’s if they eventually do. Or why did you suggest in your comment that graduates leave school only to end up being yahoo boys and prostitutes? I guess there were jobs for them but they only opted to thread the path of crime. Or is it the loan obtained that will give students the requisite skills to make them employable? Maybe the loan system comes with the magic of overhauling our outdated educational curriculum.

There’s a UN prescribed percentage of your budget that should go into finding education, you haven’t worked on that. Your senators, governors and other public office holders account for a large chunk of your recurring expenditure, you are not even thinking of fixing those. In this year alone, 123 million naira was proposed in the budget for buying “catering equipments and materials” in Aso-rock alone, 94 million naira of tax payers’ sweat was expended on the same catering equipments last year, honorarium and sitting allowance at the state house stood at 556 million naira or how about 200 million budgeted every year for buying computers in Aso-rock. A budget that 30 percent of it will be financed by borrowing and someone is justifying another move to further defraud the poor. I don’t know how we have become so docile that we just accept whatever is thrown at us. These animals in human skin carting away our common good whilst we cheer on is the new norm. God! There was a country indeed.

I still maintain that this is not workable at the moment pls. The negatives are way more than the positives and that will only cost the government and our society more, even non-monetarily.

are u aware govt spends around 350k on each federal uni student per year?
If the grads can enjoy this amount in subsidy and decide to take up 30k N-power jobs then it makes sense that they take up these same jobs to pay a loan of 2 million used to offset the 350k govt has been spending hitherto. Get it?

mrvitalis:
Lol this is funny

Look at all the best universities in the world and tell me which are cheap

Parents save for their child universities school fees for 20 years in the USA

A typical Nigerian wants Harvard University standarded education but wants to pay less than 50k per year

If America with a revenue of over 4 trillion dollars and a population of 300m can't make education cheap.. Is it Nigeria with 200m people and earns less then 15bn dollars every year that can?

Let's be serious Jor

My idea minimum school fees should be set at 1 million
But 30% of students should be on scholarships ..churches ,Muslim groups, multi national should take care of this if the person can maintain a minimum grade or gp

In that case the poor can also go to school if they are smart enough...

Any other thing we would never achieve world class education

have you also checked the minimum wage in the country you mentioned

mrvitalis:
Are you high?

please let me ask you, are you among the leaders of tomorrow

Dymaco:


please let me ask you, are you among the leaders of tomorrow

I'm a leader of today

mrvitalis:
I'm a leader of today

no wonder your brain and those old men on seat are the same. shame

mrvitalis:

Do you know education is never cheap

Give 30% for free scholarship if you can maintain a high grade... If you can't pay the high fee or drop out

That's how u see it.
