Huuum

Baby mama..

Stupid talk...
Where is Raymond dokpesi?
He paid 500m bail and nobody is hearing anything again about him.

Shynaboy1:
There's no way an average Nigeria student will go to a university with high fee when he sees others with low fee.

Do you now accept the fact that low tuition fee attract all to education?? Why then are you advocating that fees should be hike to make Nigeria hopelessly flooded with uneducated youths?

xynerise:
Ok, you are saying their priority is not to better their educational standard but to make profit?

Yes most times. This could be seen in their mode of entry, if anyone finds jamb difficult and unaccessible, they embrace the much profit oriented educational institutions that are willing to accept them, even when they are not fit and equipped enough for rigorous tertiary education in Nigeria.

We could also see that a number of them was banned earlier this year by NUC for operating on low standard, despite the high fees leveled on students

Here is the link supporting the claim

Hi JoeJonah,
I stand to be corrected, I believe your argument did not lay emphasis on only Federal/State universities? If yes, in a situation where there is an increase in tax, Naira devaluation and other economic instability problems, how would the private universities fund their projects in school without an increase in tuition fee?

May I remind you that the private Universities in Nigeria is owned by individuals or organizations and the sole/their major concern is how to make profit. They do not care if the students have to pay from their blood, business must continue. Fees must be constantly hiked, not just for standard but for their personal benefits and concerned. Besides, private education is for the well to do. No poor Nigerian is found there.

Jeojonah,

1, Kindly substantiate you claim that Academic Board of institutions have anything to do with finances of institutions.

2, Remind me of what academics has got to do with subsidy removal.

Thanks.

For the first question, I want to emphatically say that Nigerian higher institutions do have active and workable measures that remit the tuition fees being paid by students, directly into the federal government account. Those monies will have to pass through the school academic and management boards where they deduct, parts for the scratch cards, ICT management and all the deductible.

For the second question, I made an instance, the tuition fee is only a minor percentage of the money required to run the school and can be said the federal government is paying the major part.. Otherwise referred to as being 'subsidized'. If the said tuition fee subsidy is removed by hiking the school fees, something can happen to the money realized as it do occur in Nigeria.

EFCC is a big joke....
Steal 2bn and bail yourself with 500m a very lucrative business for the politicians

Good day the owner of this wonderful forum, the coordinators of the debate, our unbiased judges, efficient moderators and super moderators, my erudite Co debaters, fellow nairalanders, students present, ladies and gentlemen.

My name is jeojonah, the first representative of Auchi polytechnic, Auchi and I write to oppose the motion which states that “increase of tuition fees in Nigerian Universities is necessary for better educational standard”, with the points outlined below.

There is no correlation between the amount you pay and the quality/standard you get in this our Corruption sick governmental establishment. The above statement is prompted by the current monetary mismanagement in this country, so increasing the tuition fee will just be a plot and conspiracy to enrich the academic board of the institution and anyone that doubts this should write for the expenditure of monies realized from the fuel subsidy removal in 2012 as the said little fee being paid for our academics could be likened/referred to as being subsidized. It will be a weakeness on our part forgetting why 10 higher institutions in Nigeria is currently being probed by EFCC.

The facilities in our institutions, is it being utilized to its greatest efficiency? I believe ‘’No’’ will be the answer anyone that genuinely passed through the four walls of our institutions will give. And this is the major thing that must be put in place if standard is to be mentioned; the morals of our lecturers, their attitude to work, their passion to impact knowledge, the need to better our darling nation Nigeria. And it's very unfortunate that any of this can't be related to tuition fee the students are paying but government policies. Increase in standard is a product of the personality involved not the amount you pay to get it, hence high standard education are not bought by students but earned. This left me wondering how increased tuition fee will stop our corrupt lecturers from compromising standards by allowing "blocking" to eat deep into them.

Taking it to economic implications, in a country where the minimum wage is N18,000 / month and an average Nigerian will have to accumulate as much as two months’ salary to pay for the current tuition of just a child in the University and some have up to four children to train at a time. This is why I concluded that if the fees are hiked in an attempt to raised standard as being supported by my opponent, is nothing but a plot to economically stratify most Nigerian (the poor) of the benefits of education.

Nigeria as a developing country, increasing the tuition fee to maintain standard of education will lead to increased drop-outs, loss of opportunity for education, irregular attendance to school and absenteeism by students, exposure to rape and crimes as many students will move out of the school hostel to off campus, others will skip classes to cut cost, Some will combine schooling and doing odd jobs and minimum attention will be paid to studies, hence poor academic performance sets in. Many will be unable to buy text books because of increased fees, no proper power supply to research the Internet; this makes it difficult for students to study when they want. I am wondering the monetary standard that can curb all these menace.
Students will resort to vices In order to cope in the face of fee increased. Many females will go into prostitution, males will go into robbery. These conditions will lend breath to failure in examinations.

I want to quickly add that it is laughable to say that the schools in Europe, United States and other developed countries that offer tuition free education at all levels to its citizens are of less standard, because they choose to practice "education for all" (EFA). This singular act has not only improved their educational structure but reduced illiteracy, crime, and unproductiveness to its minimal level. Continuous increase of tuition fee in our own part will allow Nigeria develop newest acronym "education for the rich" (EFR).

On this note, I want to say that anyone arguing that the tuition fee should be increased for better educational standard in Nigeria, should not be listen to, except maybe the standard we are talking about is to make Nigerian University an association of the rich which I strongly believe it's not.

I hope these few of the numerous reasons why increments of tuition fee in Nigerian Universities will not help in improving standard will convince and shot the thought away from our Hearts.
