Kukutenla: How do you achieve top notch management and professionals without funds? It all boils down to funds cos they have the funds to employ the best hands. Let me get you right? Are you saying the government can fund universities to compete with private? |

Kukutenla: The government can always invest in primary education to make up that loophole. University education is not for all. Let’s bury that ideology of making it look so important. Anywhere on the entire Earth, if you want to get the best, you pay for it. |

JasonScoolari:Even University of Abuja that's at the seat of power have tripled their tuition fee and many students are dropping out of school, with others differing their admission to go and hustle for their tuition fees. It's really a tough time for poor masses in Nigeria currently. This is what happens when a man who believes that improved igr is an indication of economic growth is given mantle of leadership. He does not know that growth is measured by the gdp of an economy and not igr. I don't know where he read his own Economics. Zaccheus the tax collector! 5 Likes |

Kukutenla: That’s what’s used to run the country. When you ask me such questions, how do we fund States, pay salaries and service debts? We use those proceeds to finance the country. |

SangoOlukosoOba:Are Oxford and Havard public universities? And even at that, they still get subvention from their govts. If you want Oxford and Havard, face Covenant and Bowen. I'm sure you're one of those who will still claim Christianity is a scam 2 Likes |

Skyview01: I don't blame them. They are looking for political holes to bury their heads in and rocks to crawl under and hide. They don't want to face the responsibility and stress of governance, but seek to rope in others into their manifesto as if all Nigeria is governing with them. We saw that a lot in the last regime. They trumpet every little success and look around to blame others for their failings. Once again it is just a pity that political opposition remains infantile and ignorant in this democracy, if not they will have used propaganda to steam roll the government and battered their image severely with superior ideas. This is one big mistake we continue to make in this country. There is no progress in autocratic rule. There is no leadership that knows it all, there is no development without consensus. 1 Like |

SangoOlukosoOba:It's obvious your problem is that you attended a very poor university. University is not class based in any decent society not even in China. It should be available for ALL who desire and deserve it. And it's important too. TSMC which generates $10bn for Taiwan was started by a university don. The Silicon Valley which you all envy today is a direct product of Stanford University in California. The level of development you're looking for is not possible without universities. Stanford while private was heavily subsidised by the Stanford family for generations and even till now still relies on grants from california elites like most other US universities. So quit the bull crap of making university a class affair. You're becoming a disgrace with such thoughts. 2 Likes 1 Share |

SangoOlukosoOba:No. You manage funds to achieve topnotch results and not the other way round. It's obvious you're not a student of management. Nigeria is a country that does not manufacture plane tyres yet the president has ten aircrafts to himself while elites like Tinubu have two or more. Yet no one is taxing them heavily for owning such items in the poverty capital of the world. Govt can fund universities to compete with private. In the 80s, private universities couldn't even compete with the govt run ones. It's all about proper management. If you want the universities to be privatised, it's a different story but to claim govt can't fund universities is a big lie. Most of china's universities are govt funded and are far better than the ones we have. How com? A communist govt o. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Kukutenla: Share the tuition fees of those universities you mentioned and lets relate it to minimum wage of those states. Let’s see if the lower and middle class can afford it. That’s the only way you can make a point. Also, make your points brief, I don’t like novels. |

Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by Reference(m): 6:53pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
I think it is time the National Assembly wakes up to assert its authority and starts to project the views of the people. There are several things the government is doing that are subject to debate and deliberations in other climes. Surely the funding of college or higher education SHOULD BE UP FOR DEBATE and not decided by Executive fiat because education is a fundamental right. And although it is understandable that government cannot possibly provide free higher education for all, whatever decisions are finally taken must be agreed first by all citizens after thoroughly exhausting all other options. |

SangoOlukosoOba:Not funny at all, I have spent almost six years for just four years course in UI. Btw I'm responsible for everything, school fees, feeding and others so also many of my friends. Hustling everyday to meet our daily needs. That werey that knows nothing dey talk rubbish. |

Kukutenla: I keep repeating same thing. Let’s imagine cost of governance is slashed. Do you personally believe the government can fund 50% of universities to the standard of covenant? |

Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by Kukutenla: 7:04pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
SangoOlukosoOba:Why are you making Covenant a standard to start with when UI, Unilag. ABU are above Covenant in both world universities and national universities ranking? Are you only impressed by the aesthetics or the quality of education and research? Like i told you, for every Covenant, there are equally babcock, igbinedion, Madonna universities as well. So quit glorifying Covenant. Besides, Covenant operates on strict religious principles. Should we inculcate that in all govt unis too, since Covenant is your prefect model? |
Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by SangoOlukosoOba(m): 7:05pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
EminiOba: UI . Now I have an idea of who I am discussing with. Take your school for an example and be sincere , school is living on old glory. Education, infrastructure, and welfare is dead . A graduate of that school will NEVER match that of a covenant. The margin is wide. I am sure you heard stories of what that school was like before. Have you ever asked yourself why it is retrogressing? If you have please share with me. I want you to answer your own question. Walk around your school and ask yourself, can the government really fund it, if it decides to reinstate back to the good old days. The answer is a big NO. Even local government monthly allocations cannot fund it. |

Kukutenla: It will be bad of me to use a foreign university cos that will be wild, and why am using a university local to the country. And moreover, the school is doing very well and deserves every kudos for now. I don’t care about their religious affiliations, but inlove with the excellence they churning out. You could easily relate the high fees to their standard and quality. |
Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by Kukutenla: 7:09pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
SangoOlukosoOba:What!! Are you serious? Well, FYI if you're of low income and you are brilliant in the US, you qualify for scholarship and not even loan to such universities. If however your tests results are not exceptional and you still want to go to such schools, if you're granted admission, you can access student loans. Lastly, if you don't make their grade but you still want to go to college, there are cheaper college and some even free colleges you can attend. I hope you are properly educated now. The reason it is being related to minimum wage in our case is because options such as scholarships and loans are not readily available and the only cushion which is relatively cheaper fees are about to be removed. 2 Likes |

Re: Parents, Students Cry Out As Universities Hike Fees by Reference(m): 7:12pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
SangoOlukosoOba: You cannot know that without transparency in government and without debate in parliament. The best you can do is to speculate as to what government can and cannot afford and what you as a citizen consider to be a priority which may not necessarily be the priority of government. Subsidies on education can never be placed in the same boat as subsidies on consumption. Education is a fundamental right and as such funding should be open for debate just as is happening in the US concerning student loans and the lot. 2 Likes |
