You dont believe in the Nigerian student loan but you believe in the US student loan.

The greatest advice to parents is to start saving for their children's university education while they are just starting the secondary school.

Parents pay well for primary and secondary education, but want to pay a pittance for university education.

If the UK we all run to study can charge £9000 per university session for local students, then our public universities should be able to charge nothing less than N400k per session for Nigerian students.


Meanwhile, vocational training centers should be made very affordable too. Like N100k per year.

the moment you mentioned the pound was when I know you are lacking alot upstairs. So the purchasing power are same??

I am one of those groaning parent.

At FUTA, new student:

Acceptance fee: N50,000
School fees: N245,000.

Almost 300% increase in this terrible economy. Students from poor parents are now denied education. What a country!

Madeu:

Not just saving. Reducing given birth to much children. A working wife and husband with a child can easily afford this fee incremnent. When a low-income couple starts birthing 5 to 8 children, those are the people that will find it difficult to pay.

Those ones are jokers if they think they can be financially struggling and still be having 4 or more kids that require more funds to cater for.

Do the parents in UK earn £9000 a month yet still pay that amount per session per child?

Yet the parents who earn N300K to N500k per month in Nigeria are complaining of N150k to N250K university fee per session.

Is that not enough purchasing power?

It is about comparison of earning power in each country versus the university fees in that same country. I did not in any way compare Naira to pounds.

Read to understand before lamenting aimlessly.

You never groan oga.. When una groan reach,both parents and students should shutdown everywhere. Government should be forced to subsidize fees. The money they were using for fuel subsidy is now being used for their personal needs.. I know something like endsars or worst will soon hit them.. The hardship in the land is too much,they don't feel it,because they do everything with taxpayers money..

Macphenson:


My brother am even shocked at how much these schools are paying and yet they are complaining.

I graduated from UNIZIK in 2009 and my school fees then was 45k, I was shocked when I learnt that till 2022 UNILAG was still paying 20k for school fees

Nigerians are resilient is actually the Igbos, they have gone through the process of raw diamonds, that's why they adapt easily to every nonsense the Nigerian government throws at them, while their own people suffer just because their son/ brother wants to suffer a certain group of peopl.

Remove the Igbos from this stupid experiment and watch it crumble.

There is nothing to groan about.

Those fees are OK considering the earning power of the parents who are lamenting.

University education fees should not be pocket money used by the family for a day out at a picnic.

You plan the savings for your child's education.

How much did those parents pay as session school fees in the private secondary schools that some of those kids attended, but want to pay half a term equivalent as university fees?

My only grouse with the increment is that the already enrolled students should be allowed to complete their education on the financial terms they knew before they enrolled, while the new students pay what is adequate (N400k and beyond) for the quality of education we yearn for in Nigeria.

This is how the president want to use massive education to fight terrorism.

Faiththatworks:
Although I'm a supporter of good Education for all Nigerians,I believe there's a point we must get to as a nation and stop the pretense.
How can a University student be paying 30000 per month as tuition fee and expect quality education.
That's trying to behave like the Ostrich who sticks it's head in the sand and believes he's invincible,we must stop the pretense that's there's no problem in the Funding of Public Universities in Nigeria.
We must start to look for solutions on how to solve this issues, Asiwaju should as a matter of urgency,start the students loan programme before the end of the month.
I also suggest Universities stop this notorious exhortation of students through sundry subheads like Departmental fees, Hospital fees, Accommodation and other unnecessary expenses on the students.
God bless Nigeria.

1. Where is the job when they graduate?

2. When they eventually get the job, how much are they paid?

No matter how many people hate to hear this, YOU JUST SPOKE THE TRUTH

You'll hear them saying the God that gave them the children will provide the resources to take care of them

PinkNature:


You really need to ask yourself how much does an average Nigerian make monthly.

Until we hold them accountable,nothing will change. Oga do you know how much our leaders dey loot? Just look at Edu or what they call her days ago. Imagine she wasn't caught.

No education cannot be free.

Resources and GDP is not the same.

We can only work based on revenue and not potential.

Even at minimum wage, UK university education at £9000 per session requires saving up for.

In Nigeria, we always want to use our lunch money to pay for university education.

That nonsense mentality must stop.

However, this country needs dissolution before the inhabitants can move forward.

Oga UK you still don't understand the point I am trying to make. I said education can be free,with the resources this nation is blessed with, but our leaders loot everything into their personal pockets. Take for example the fuel "subsidy is gone"

Where is the money now going? Still yet,they have not stopped borrowing.

So oga UK ,who is now fooling who ?

I don't need to argue with you because I can see you don't even know an average salary of just a college teacher in the UK.

membranus:

What percentage of your monthly salary is that university session school fees as you listed it?

Is the university fee under 300% of your monthly salary that is not an entry level worker salary considering you already have grown up kids?

If the university session fee per child is under 300% of your monthly salary, then they are very affordable and Nigerians need to get used to the fact that University fees is not the same as money spent with the family at Mega Chicken or Sweet Sensations.

Please what is the average salary of a college teacher in the UK versus the £9000 the child has to pay as local student school fees every session?
Many don't earn up to £4000 per month on jobs are are way above entry level.

Then compare that percentage to what the average salary of a public servant secondary school teacher in Nigeria versus the N150K being lamented about or the N400k I have even suggested.

Do we arrive at a fair percentage in Nigeria compared to the UK analysis?

Because one thing I know is that £9000 is not a salary many make in the UK even in 2months on very well paying public service jobs.

Many Nigerian civil servants with kids old enough for university education earn more than N200k per month, so why is N150K university session fees a big deal?

APC supporters are paying less

Throwback:
Sad reality.

Any major increment should not affect those who are already enrolled and undergoing a course of study, only minor increments should be considered in their case.

For those who are just enrolling, apply the necessary increment that will provide them the education and learning environment many are willing to pursue abroad but still cheaper within the context of the Nigerian economy, minimum wage, and available student loan facilities.

Nothing more to defend again

Where's the student loan program promised to Nigerians by their government led by the forger-in-chief and drug baron, Presidiot E-Bola Tiefnubu? None of you enslaved minds are asking questions. This is just the beginning of your groaning.

only civil servant around level 15 above earn over 200k and such civil servant must have spent nothing less than 28-30 years in service. I personally know civil servant on level 16 earning 256k monthly. He literally survive on loan. Did you know the amount transportation cost eat up from the salary? Feeding alone is a problem to his family. This is someone who has spent all his productive years with government

How many Nigerians had job? How many earn that compare to our massive population? We top the ladder of unemployment and poverty in the world. How many Nigerians can afford 3 square meal daily today?

The masses will soon retaliate back to those politicians. It's just a matter of time
