As i d baf day before yesterday, it hit me that we are complaining about poor State of education in Nigeria. And i then realized 35 to 40k for school fees a year is just a mere 100 to 120 dollars,
So we pay just 10 dollars a month to get the quality education we feel we deserve from our country.
Why won't we suffer in uni when the uni itself can't generate enough funds to work efficiently on its own.
It's as if the education sector too is also on subsidy. A whole university that's even supposed to be contributing to the economy is taking away from the government and a so called association with its eyes fixed on it's own benefits, before the school which would also benefit them and lastly the students who should be the mainomain character of the whole nigerian education drama.
Private secondary schools charge 2 to 3 times that ammount per term amounting up to 220k a year then paying 40k we become entitled to things because of the sociocultural effect of mismanagement, maladministration, and ability of our leaders to see the bigger picture (they do!) But fear of criticism from the masses or effects on their reelection bid makes them not to see what they know is in front of them.
I hate to compare a 60 year old nation to one of over 200 years but in this situation i can't help it as we all are fond of comparisons.
The United States and UK that we idolize their education system recieve funding from government, alumni, companies etc still have an expensive institution, textbooks alone will put you in debt before you even start.
The cost of 2 MIT texts for fresher's is More than the fees for a federal university in Nigeria.

My point is just like the so called fuel subsidy nonsense the government talks about, the government should remove the subsidy on education and let it chart it's own course while funding them as privilege and not obligation.
Assu is a union for academic staff which is their sole objective. They can't claim to be fighting for the good of the whole education sector when we have NUC ( as useless as they are).
The government can't keep paying what they pay and still we see no changes, government has been funding universities from inception but yet we still cry of this and that as we can't boast of one single thing in a university that's upto standard. What's the guarantee then that after paying this money ASUU wants everything will be alright. It's not as if as the money enters their account all the rot in the system would go away it would take years, years of theft, bad management and maintenance culture and we'll get back to square one.

In a situation where the university is responsible for it's own working system with financials inclusive with the power to develop and expand the university while also the management giving account of each expenditure i think there'll be a step forward and a gradual improvement to the never ending drama. The government gets out of the mix and the university management and so called unions hold themselves accountable ( slow but steady wins the race)

ASUU is an obstacle... the obstacle is the way... You either go through it or remain behind.
Your opinions are welcome

Truely, we as nigerians expect everything from government.
Though they have shortcomings most of what we ask for compared to what is needed to get them don't flow at all

Finland, Norway even Germany offer free university education. And their educational sector is doing very well.

Wow

your opinion...
so u think high tutor fee is the solution? In a country where poverty rate is above 90%, this will simply be a case of running from one problem(Non-quality education) to another problem(Mass illiteracy).

This country is just being run and control by looters simple! No sector of this scam-economy is free of corruption and that's the problem. FG Is spending on Education, of course, spending to the pocket of thieves and looters. The money are not being used as projected, increasing tutor fees will just enlarge the pockets of the thieves incharge and nothing and i mean NOTHING Will change.
