The Nigerian economy is thinly strenghtened due to politicians' homogous salary. Lets scrap the presidential and adopt parliametary system to free money for social amenities.

Sorry, parliamentary systems would still cost money. A lot of money.

This is hypocrisy, how can you expect a complete illiterate who could not improved himself career/education wise even with all opportunities were available to him, to now come & develop same education he has no value for.

Are you people not part of those who championed a man without certificate to resuscitate the education system? Mumu ASUU. How do you expect a man to give what he doesn't have? How can he give, what he cannot appreciate? A man that is a product of almajiri system. He will soon turn the universities to almajiri school.

The thing is, this poor funding of universities has been with us for a long time.

Our universities need at least 1.5 trillion naira annually in extra funding, which has gone up because we now have a host of new universities.

Our budget is 9trillion

We also have primary, secondary and other tertiary institutions to fund.

All together that means we might need 4 trillion yearly if not more for education. Our budget is 9trillion.

Making matters worse, we need oil at 140 dollars per barrel to run a balanced budget

Bubu had no right building rugas. But the fact is, remove him today, and the funding issue is going to still be there.

The truth is either fees go up or half our budget goes on just education or we take another big phat loan

Either we cut things like subsidy, or we remove half the national assembly budget (750bn) or we take loans.

Fine, I agree with most things you wrote here, but how do you explain these to Buhari? Do you think he has the capacity to analyze and proffer solutions to these problems? Will these issues appeal to him like issue of cows and herdsmen will? That is why ASUU should have joined hands to ensure Nigeria is bequeathed with a man of intellectual capacity who can understand the problems when they present them, not Buhari. I repeat not Buhari!

Meritocracy:
Don't take this greedy ASUU serious, when they give them money they know how to squander it, go to our University and carry out the project evaluation you will surprised if federal government has ever spend anything on education due to the way they mismanage the little one they get. When they give them earn allowance lecturers will be claiming over eighty percent and live less than twenty percent for others. To show their greediness shame is the way they abandoned their strike and purse their personal inec adhoc staff where they get token.

ASUU is not in charge of the governing board of Universities, they are more or less a labour union of lecturers. Dem no dey collect money to do projects.

In five or six years time, ASUU will issue the same release attacking government for not funding education just as they have been doing even before I was born and those poorly educated Nigerian youths who are joining ASUU to condemn the Buhari's administration for not doing anything in education, will either keep mute or find reasons to support the government because the next president might be a person from their area. You see even if the government decides to give every single dollar its earns from oil to ASUU nothing will come out of it. The University system is just as corrupt as any other system in the country. Why don't you people ask how each of the universities spends the money generated from sales of various forms, pre-degree and part-time programmes? What I have noticed in Nigerians is that so many of them are just to irrational to be called human beings.

The terrorist only cares about jihad and cows

Una never see anything yet

With his acclaimed O-level result, he CANNOT be admitted into any university today. Yet una vote for am as president and una expect am to value education.

If your claim is true, isn't the Federal Government that should monitor and regulate Federal University, so... What happened the monitoring?

Why not close them, since your point is right.

With oil revenues below what we need it since 2014 and with hefty debts incurred, plus the fact that we are spending billions on subsidies that could be used for the education system, I'm not surprised we don't have the money.

GEJ built a lot of stuff. He benefited from oil being at 100 dollars and above till 2014. Bubu, for all his faults, met oil below 75 and dropping 9

Modified

GEJ also told ASUU in 2013 that 3 trillion over 2 years in extra funding for universities was not possible. Which was the truth.

He offered ASUU 1.trillion over 5 years. ASUU took the deal.

Add the fact that fees increases are opposed by the masses, and you see the problem

What was I telling you folks. That our problem is productivity and earnings. For this we need leaders that are visionary, smart and dynamic, with tons of ideas on how to get Nigeria workimg and earning. But no we preferred a leader with a left over 1983 sentiment of 'corruption is the only problem'. We can now see that blocking all the corruption will not make a man who earns ten thousand naira a month and feeds ten children wealthy.

Unfortunately the priority of this government these next 3.99 years remains chasing rats while like Peter Obi and I have continually said and I quote, '...while the shop remains unattended to...'

Let us face the truth for once. This government doesn't have the capacity to radically alter the fortunes of this country for the better. I cannot see the high capacity individuals being appointed into government. I cannot see the think-tank assemblage. I cannot see the lofty policy drives. It is just governance the way it has been done since independence. Unfortunately every night millions of family couples go to bed and copulate, hundreds of thousands of babies are born every month.....more mouths to feed, more lives to cater for...and no matter how well your wife manages your N50,000 salary it will not put your five children through college especially when you make more children every night.

We are in big trouble. We need a government and new set of leaders that can point this country in the right direction. This present one is just not capable.

ASUU are always talking about funding without making mention of elevating the quality of teaching, bulk of which lies with their members.

Firefire:



They will all not escape judgement and punishment in due time.

Buhari didn't build private university to underdeveloped our governments university. Obasanjo and Atiku did.....they are the first sitting president and deputy to do that in the world and they did that under PDP.
The ones we have need equipments not building new ones without adequate facilities.
Get sense!

That's a different discussion mind...plus what is needed for RUGA is far less than what is needed for education...

IMO....government should spend more on railways, promote ranching in the far north...and transport cows by railways. The meat can be processed up North and transported by rail to markets across Nigeria.

Coneheaded structures don't give a damm. In fact,they will welcome, with open arms,the almajiri system in the west

On point as usual.

Yet some useless fools who were not educated during this regime such as the rotten vulture meat suya man, and deomelo the Fulani stooge have apotheosized him the way the Greeks apotheosized Hermes. bin Dumburudeens!

God bless Nigeria.

Yes, Obasanjo promoted private universites because Government did not have enough to build new universites, or fund exisitng ones adequately.

GEJ that built nre universites did so because we had the money then(oil prices being high). Bubu is not building much of new ones (he is building some) because the cash is not there(low oil prices)

Most of the private universites don't get government funding. They raise their funds from fees and such.Atiku's university, for example, raises most of its funding from fees (which are sky high)

You be mumu for insulting ASUU.Did past presidents increase budget for education ? Education is under funded in Nigeria.

Sigh... Rhetorics and academic babblings... You all knew this and still voted him in for a 2nd term. Some of your professors collected millions to conduct that travesty called election...

How can a man that never bothered to improve himself academically since he left office as a dictator bother with the education sector?

A man that has done absolutely nothing to mitigate the level of illiteracy and miseducation in the core North (probably fosters it); never sponsored or championed any educational development even in Daura... This is the man you expect to prioritize education?...

I really don't want to hear these wailings... It's too early, and almost too late.

You handed the country to dogs, so enjoy your poo.

no money to build a single school or hospital but there is money to build ruga and animal hospital?
that is the benefit of having an illiterate as president

Well, we don't need trillions to build ruga...but we need at least N5 trillion to build new universities, keep the existing ones to standard, and have something left over for primary , secondary and university schools.

Ruga, which most don't want, and has been cancelled, may not be up to 500million.

2 million is enough to build a single block class room for those kids studying under mango.
the 2.2b niara ruga budget is enough to build a modern hospital but the president is not interested in education

Are you the ASUU president? Why e come pain you like this? If you can think well, and if you have been a follower of the Nigerian University system, you will know ASUU itself is part of the rot in the system. If some past presidents who went through higher education cannot solve universities' problems, is it now a man who could not produce ordinary secondary school certificate that will? A man who has benefitted from the quota system to rise through the ranks is the one you and your folks campaigned vigorously for to right the wrong in the academic environment. I no blame you sha, in case you are members of ASUU you might have been one of those who got in too with connection rather than on merit. So on that basis, I can pardon your penchant for condoning and promoting mediocrity.

Modern hospital costs more than 2 billion....

IMO, too we can't afford any new projects...ruga or otherwise.

Focus on the railways, and soon all the roaming around with cows would stop...everything goes by rail.
