You need to stop being emotional about freebies.
Govt can't sustain education subsidy at university level and oreover people enjoying these subsidies refuse to repay the system adequately so it makes sense to avoid free unconditional university education.

The logical thing to do is to make scholarship available for the brightest, make loans available for the bright one willing to work after graduation instead of training a runs girl who will end up as house wife.


one of the sensible one we have here, please tell them how difficult it is for government to fund public uni despite the tons of billion pumped into them.

then one illiterate would be saying covenant and co should be free or cheap as if its Their blood line the owner would use to do rituals to fund thier school

I think tuition is free already in federal universities here in Nigeria. What people pay for are auxiliary fees like hostel fee and the rest.

Even in the state university I know of, the part of school fees dedicated for "tuition" is only 10k per session.

Is it not free in Nigeria too? We only pay obligatory fees which I don't know why.. they call it levy. Tution fees being free doesn't mean you wouldn't pay anything... It should be declared free totally!

I was surprised at all the comments before yours oo, I knew the reason why private universities are very expensive is because of the tuition they pay that public universities' students don't..
Thank you jare

If Nigeria can't do it, education should be subsidized. What is destroying our nation is selfishness and greed and mumu followers who will still prefer to vote leaders that are destroying the nation.

The trick isn't making it free but making it effective. Africa hasn't suffered from the lack of affordable universities as much as it has from innefective ones. Politicians do not tell people the truth and we the people largely misunderstand the concept of Universities.

Universities are to be solution providers, which in the process of proferring solutions produce graduates who can in turn mass produce solutions for challenges in the wider society. Therefore a university that does not produce solutions in itself is not qualified to be called an ivory tower because it would not produce relevant graduates.

The Harvard of today might be out of the reach of the poor but it has contributed to human development remarkably. As a matter of fact the expensive Harvard has helped the poor of Africa more than all the free instistutions in Africa combined...

I would rather have an expensive University that would produce drugs that would cure my poor African brethren of their ailments than the universities which gives them fake free education but shortens their life span with Stress.

While i am not against free education i am of the opinion that quality should not be sacrificed on the alter of affordability...

Fool, the ones in Nigeria u are paying huge amount for, what solutions are they providing?

You are indeed the fool if you fail to realise that much of this universities are very young. But they are in fact best placed to be centers of excellence in the future.

Please i hope you realise that Liberia's best university doesn't rank top 18,000 in the world university rankings. Despite a poor representation by private unis, the University of Liberia and other public schools are not even indexed at all. So if they did this badly with tuition fees, how would they fair without tuition?

A university ranked 18,000 below is definitely not doing any research, not even inferior one.
What then is the point of education if it isn't worth more than the paper it was printed on.

My advise to Liberia is for them to focus free qualititative education for primary and secondary schools while permitting people to work good jobs with their High School Certificate(e.g Banking, Telecoms etc) This would disincentive too many people from going to universities which would then allow them to provide top notch education for bright individuals to service specific professional sectors(e.g Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering, Law)

Some people can be foolish. So u are still waiting for the world for ur success. Big fool

In other news... educational standards in Liberia have fallen, teachers on strike for not being paid, facilities unmaintained. I can't even say it's a "good gesture" because it's so obvious where this is going to end.

We discussed this recently in https://www.nairaland.com/4793900/fayemi-declares-free-education-less
No plans for improving revenue, but already adding liabilities.

Higher education is free in countries like Sweden, Norway,Denmark and finland yet its till of top notch quality.

With the kind of money that Nigeria makes daily, we can have quality education at least up to Bachelors degree for free.

It can as well be adapted to " Government pays staff salaries" while students are employed in various teams to maintain facilities as a way to pay for cost of tuition.
