A United States of America-based medical doctor aspiring to be governor of Anambra State next year, Dr Godwin Maduka, at the weekend, said that he plans to build 21 universities in the state if given the opportunity to serve.



Maduka, who is aspiring for the top job on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said that if elected governor, he was going to establish higher institutions of learning so that Ndi Anambra could have greater access to university education.



The governorship hopeful stated this in his Umuchukwu country home in Orumba South LGA during a programme he organized for the youths of the state.



“If given the opportunity, I will build one university each in all the 21 Local Government Areas of the state. Education is key all over the world. We shouldn’t have a few scattered universities here. It is not that hard to set it up.



“In other places of the earth, some towns have up to six universities. It should be as easy as ABC. We will start with only 21; one per local government.



Asked how was going to fund them if that were to be, he queried: “Do you ever know what comes to the governor’s house in terms of funding? Any frugal governor can take care of that. There are some things that we can let go.



“And there are some things that we can bring in. It is a matter of priorities. There should be a new negotiation about funding education. After all, that’s why I am here now.”

You go fear manifesto

These people coming from the developed world, instead of using their experience and knowledge to liberate us, they are just here to take advantage of our ignorance and suffering.

How is he going to fund the universities?
Nigerian public universities are more of liabilities to the state and not a revenue ventures. Only if the State Governor is going to raise school fees. Raising the school fees has already forfeited his idea of making the university education accessible to the citizens.

Didn’t he follow the American politics and election before saying this shît?

21 universities ko, 1million polytechnics ni

Pathetic......build 21 factories not more universities.

We have too many grads....but not enough jobs

Enough of this confusion. Just give me SOLUDO Solution.

Toh

He has been given the lying tongue oh,Maduka don't start what u can't finish oh philanthropist with foreign lie.

This guy needs to set his priorities right. He should be talking of setting up industries, farms, etc.

America no be Nigeria o!

Better build what people want not what you think they need.
It's better to build 21 new market for business not Universities

Another imported misfit who do not understand the local problem

And when the university graduates the students, hope you would have enough jobs for waiting for them, because there are more graduates than jobs right now.

Even in that his America government do not just go out and build universities.

America no be Nigeria o!

So if them graduate who go employ them the same university I guess...

Another junkie in d making na wetin too much drug dey cos b diz....

God keep blessing Nigeria with daft leader....

21 Universities kee you there. Give your people better governance instead.

Win a seat in US first then we know you have a credibility Mr 21 Universities.

The state's branch of ASUU will be striking every month, if you ask them why, the answer will be like: "We are being owed 21 months salaries."

I don't think anyone would ever say that.

A university in each local government!!!

A university community may even be be bigger than some of the local governments

That's how they'll be deceiving electorates. How can you build 21 universities without any tangible plan of providing jobs for them after graduation

In such a situation, Anambra state will be awash with Phd holders and lecturers. It will definitely make Anambra the headquarters of Research and Development in Africa, and perhaps a top 10 R&D location in the world. Every Phd holder will be employed, no doubt.

But I don't want a one-direction government. Anambra needs Soludo.

Useless needless promise from a native doctor... Chai Anambra my state will never move forward with cursed worthless miscreant Drunkard like this man

Which kind of lie is this

E be like say this one don fail already?
21 university for Anambra alone hiaaa.

Good for you BUT how do you intend to maintain the existing ones.
