That is why we have the government

These are private individuals, it is not their job to uplift the standard of education in Nigeria.

quite right

what have the government have to do that they have not done. despite all the money been spent every year by the govt in education

What money is government spending on education?

Have you visited any Nigerian University lab recently most cant even compare to an average High School lab in other countries.

The amount of money given to all Universities for research is probably less than the sitting allowance of Senators in one month

LOL, which one be sitting allowance again

SEFAGO:

LOL, which one be sitting allowance again

Man of high intellect

Shouldnt you be able to figure that out?
