Of course there are lotta half baked graduates out there... many are studying the courses they are not meant to study??.. .. whose faulthuh .. .. Is the increase of tuition fees in universities to be blamed ? ??

2)I beg to differ... If we all that is school have that kinda orientation, im sure we all will go into vocational works.. ... Many of us go to school in order to be educated and well oriented not for succeeding sake

3)why?? Because of low funding which is as a result of low generation of income. .. If we don't pay tuition fees, how can we generate enough income to fund our universities??
1, it cant be blamed on tuition, you asked a question off point and I answered you.

2 and what is bad if we resort to vocation?

3 other ways

Miracy, I never said government alone would fund all that...., I did mention private ventures and mind you, laboratory fees and others are being paid by students who fall into those categories

Miracy,

1. half baked graduates can never be in all university, while many a student now come to university to earn a certificate, many are studying courses they are not meant to study. i can not apply for civil engr and you give me agric engr, yet you expect me to study it with the same passion i would have studied civil with.

2. we going to school is just the orientation that if you do not go to school, you would not succeed. Mind you, Razaq Okoya, Nigeria's billionaire never went to school, even Bill Gates was a drop out.

3. we have unarguably low standard of education

@barackodam
Taking a look at the current economic situation of the country in which we're in debt and our government claims that we don't have enough to cater for the education sector... What solution can you recommend if not increase in tuition fees
Like i said earlier and you buttressed it, what about private companies. Have you not heard that Chevron donated Medical equipments to DELSUTH, what about MTN e-library in UNILAG, PTDF built a new Chemical engineering department in my school and am sure all these companies are not government owned
Education › Re: Nairaland Interschool School Debate::OAU Vs ABU ZARIA::WINNER: ABU ZARIA by barackodam: 8:25pm On May 29, 2015
Furthermore, with the ever increasing number of new students being admitted into the school, thus
stretching available facilities beyond their capacity
without a corresponding increase in necessary
resources. There is always need to raise money
to build structures that will accommodate them
all, and the only other way to do this is to
increase student’s fee.
Miracy, at the bolded, you said "the only" how about government intervention and private bodies donation to schools??
Education › Re: Nairaland Interschool School Debate::OAU Vs ABU ZARIA::WINNER: ABU ZARIA by barackodam:
Good day Mr chairperson, ever present coordinators, panel of judges, my distinguished debaters and fellow audience. My name is Barackodam, representing the prestigious ABU Zaria, to oppose the topic saying: Increase of tuition fees in Nigerian Universities is necessary for a better educational standard.

Nigerian students are known to be brilliant, naturally. If we need a better standard of education, I am not of the opinion that tuition fees should be increased. Education as a sector of the economy is where the Government are supposed to invest heavily in, we are the leaders of tomorrow, yet, our educational quality is dwindling. We are the self proclaimed "Giants of Africa" and our schools perform poorly in Africa. Is increasing the tuition fee the way out??

Delta State University Teaching Hospital, February last year was provided with state of the art medical equipment to take care of infants during the first month after birth by the Uduaghan led government without increment in tuition fee. If Delta State could afford that, how much more of federal government? Instead of enriching our politicians, why not just increase investment in the educational sector??

My humble alma mater, I stand to be corrected, has the least school fee in Nigeria and is running a tuition free university for both indigenes and non indigenes, yet we churn out reputable graduates year in year out. Governor Nasir El Rufai, Architect Namadi Sambo, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, Professor Attahiru Jega, Hajiya Turai Yar'adua, Oladipo Diya(former Vice President), Donald Duke et. al. These are great men of their respective states and known nation wide, all but non went to a tuition free institution, if they can get to the top irrespective, who then says only increasing tuition fee is the solution??

Even though increasing tuition fee can be used as a excuse for a better educational standard, I refuse to believe and strongly object that, if government can invest in educational sector heavily, like they do on their private properties, it definitely would be a different story, if an average Nigerian is said to live on a dollar daily, increasing tuition fee is going to make the case worse as many won't be able to afford it.

My humble tuition free school total fee is more than the minimum wage of the country, how much more of schools with tuition fee, we need to get it right, increment of tuition fee would not increase the educational standard, but increase problems for the masses who are struggling to meet up the current price. This would amount to tightening the rope wound round their neck. Take a look at Lagos State University, when it increased its tuition rather drastically, students protested and boycotted the school. Is this what we want?? We need ask ourselves this questions.

Nigeria's budget allocation for education is said to be hovering around 10 per cent of the total budget allocation instead of the 26 per cent recommended by UNESCO. If we fall 16 per cent short if what is expected of us, then what quality education can we give to our so called leaders of tomorrow??

Some universities need expansion, some are too small to be inhabited by its occupants, these things can be done by government, I walk around my school and look up at my lecture theatre, boldly inscribed on it is "TETFUND 2009 GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION" if government keeps intervening and renovating school structures, providing them with up to date practical tools, our educational standard would not only be better, but best, and like I said at the beginning, Nigerians are naturally brilliant, if we have all the necessary equipment for good learning, we can go on to challenge Africa.

Talk about private companies donating to institutions, my varsity is one of the few to have a well furnished MTN E-library provided with free Internet access and thousands of educational catalogue. Frequent use of this would definitely improve our educational standard.

Hence, I part by saying once again, Increase in tuition fee in Nigerian University is not necessary for better educational standard.

Never try to plug your device especially mobile device, gadget etc on ground to electricity, very risky coz of power surge and inductive spike.

Never try to answer calls while your mobile is plugged on the power outlets. Also risky

But isn't Ghana a country with stable electricity? undecided just asking tho.
