Mynd44:
Ha! Does he actually know that he would need an act of NASS plus the states also do not possess the funds required to fund these schools. The states can't even fund their own schools not to mention adding more to it.

Universities should be allowed to run by themselves, allowed to set tuition charges and use the money to oay for the staff and other such needs. FG schools come in only when huge projects are needed. In the way, each school can set their wages and be autonomous.

That is the only way out

Atiku stated the Federal Government does not have unlimited resources while speaking on Monday during the panel discussion.
The only approach, according to him, is to create an atmosphere that is favorable for both foreign and domestic investors to invest in our nation's infrastructure, education, and electricity needs.

"I got into a fight with a professor at Federal University Lokoja. He claimed to have seen in my policy document my intention to devolve, or to hand back control of education to the states. What the heck am I doing?

"Do you realize, Mr. Professor, that the first group of our universities is owned by the regional governments? I asked. He replied, "Yes." I said, "Who will succeed the regional government?" The states, he said.

"I stated the kids you send to the universities in England and America are owned by...," the majority of the private sector. Why do you think we can't do it here, then? We lack the necessary funds.

Ebubu:


Why is ASUU paying blind eye to this approach ?

Mynd44:

Because ASUU wants all the benefits with zero responsibilities.

As far as the schools are run by the FG, theu can be indiscipline. You can always call someone in the ministry to help out.

But if the ministry has no say and the highest decision making body is a board, it is easy to deal with you and everyone else

TI1919:
The universities should be privaties instead hended over to state who don't have enough resources

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party in the elections of 2023, has declared he will transfer control of federally funded universities to state governments.

As a panelist at the 2022 Nigerian Bar Association's Annual General Conference, which took place in the Eko Atlantic City in Lagos State on Monday, the 75-year-old lawmaker from Adamawa made this claim.

This week's conference, with the title "Bold Transitions," got under way. It will last through August 26.

Atiku stated the Federal Government does not have unlimited resources while speaking on Monday during the panel discussion.

The only approach, according to him, is to create an atmosphere that is favorable for both foreign and domestic investors to invest in our nation's infrastructure, education, and electricity needs.

"I got into a fight with a professor at Federal University Lokoja. He claimed to have seen in my policy document my intention to devolve, or to hand back control of education to the states. What the heck am I doing?

"I stated the kids you send to the universities in England and America are owned by...," the majority of the private sector. Why do you think we can't do it here, then? We lack the necessary funds.

Since February 14, the Academic Staff Union of Universities has been on strike in support of a number of demands, including enhanced welfare, the revitalization of public universities, and academic autonomy.

Since the professors put down their instruments, public tertiary university students have been absent from the classroom.

In 2020, ASUU started a similar nine-month industrial strike.

Even though the ASUU strike is still in effect, numerous politicians and government officials have been photographed abroad at their children's graduations from foreign schools. This development has drawn criticism from human rights activists and many worried Nigerians, who have called it insensitive.
