According to the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Malam Lamido Sanusi, 71,000 Nigerian students in Ghana currently pay an annual tuition of N155Billion to Ghana. Meanwhile the whole government budget for all Federal universities in Nigeria annually is a N121Billion.

The CBN Governor was drawing attention to the on-going serious capital flight from Nigeria.

Doesn't this call for a sober reflection? They only mentioned Ghana, what about the thousands of students in Malaysia (I hear there are so many of them there) in Europe, in India, in the US etc, paying trillions of Naira to get quality education. Meanwhile, you will hardly find foreign students in Nigeria. Obviously there's need to reform the education system in Nigeria. So instead of complaining about money leaving Nigeria, they should do something about improving the quality of education in this country, so parents will stop sending their kids abroad.

Shebi it was Nigerians that want cheap/free education? They have their cheap education and should keep quiet. They have no right to demand quality. If they want quality, they should to private unis or go abroad. Either way, they will pay!

Ghanaians are paying a hefty price for their quality education without social upheaval. Going to a Ghanaian university will cost u at least 2 million naira equivalent per session. Why won't they be far better? Why won't they boast of global faculty and students? Its not beans to attract international students to a school. We can keep paying our 10 thousand naira per session university tuition and continue to receive crappy half baked education.

You will always get what u pay for! All in a bid to let every tom, dick and harry to go to Nigerian university, we have lowered entry fees and standards and debased quality. Our technical and trade schools have been shunned all in a bid for every school cert holder to go to uni that would come out unemployable and unemployed.

what's with all this unnecessary tracking everywhere.

pump money into the nigerian school system, improve the quality and forget about all these ones studying outside.

it's their choice.

Guess Ghana is worth it. I've heard a lot of good things from Africans and Non-Africans about Uni of Ghana.
