You can also pay back your college loan after you graduate and secure a job. Every country is doing it, why can't we do it too?

Samakus:

If Govt cnt subsidize or even provide free, qualitative tertiary education 4 d populace,then, y is d essence of government basically '2 do 4 d ppl wot d ppl cant do 4 themselves'? I wonder if u ar in govt payroll or a daughter of one money bag like dat cos if u ar training ursf in skul, u wnt talk lyk dis.

2good:

Because it is difficult to get a job in Nigeria that will take care of you after graduation, let alone pay back the loan.
Hope you also know about the crisis of student loan in the US?

rudedough: Take a deep breath Bro and re-read your comment. Your types are the problem with Nigeria. You want everything handed over to you for free. You demand so much from the Govt while you don't want to give anything back. You said in your own words "it does not not neccesarily mean wat is good and working for them will work for us"

kalokalo: You are absolutely right!. Nigerians are first class jokers. They want world class education for a few thousand naira per annum. In a country of 170+ million people and a per capita income of less than $3000. Jokers I say! You have countries who are infinitely wealthier than Nigeria charging tuition fees that is more than 50 times the price in Nigeria even when subsidized for their citizens and we wonder why their universities are world class and ours are not?

doc sholz: The way some peeps are quick to compare Nigeria with other developed countries just because they've money or live abroad is just plain ridiculous, so quick to forget this countries have better economies, more equitable wealth distribution(meaning there's money in d pockets of d majority of citizens) and better social security(meaning the government spends heavily on grants, scholarships and student aids for d disadvantaged) that said, every honest Nigerian knows Nigeria isn't ready yet when we're ready it will definitely happen


Pls lets learn to compare reasonably

ngozievergreen:

what kind of nonsense is that?
indigene and non indigene for sch fees?
the indigenes no like school?
.
@OP, I rep my alma mater unizik: I still feel its the cheapest.
Paid 23,100(over all school fees) from year 1-6.

BRAINCRASH: FUTYOLA Adamawa=15,900,hostel=8000.

K.K Imoh:
IBB UNI. Lapai ,Niger state, for freshers = #52.500 excluding hostel acom0dati0n = #7000, tution fee for returning students / 2nd year = #34000

Soyedele1: Lautech

Acceptance fee -- N20000
Indegene --- N65,000
Non indegene -- N72,500 or so (not sure)

I'm paying N40,000. My set is the last set that paid N40000

onose1: AAU:40,000-50,000 depending on d course u r studying(excluding #40,000 for acceptance fee)

Ms_Steph: It is cheaper in northern universities. Like in nassarawa state uni I think it is less than 30k

chiefololade: So people in Polytechnics and Colleges of Education are not students?

isarumah: National Open University of Nigeria, sum of about N110,000 per Session. This includes tuition, ID card, ICT, course and exams fees for the two semesters.

bobby256: For uniport,its almost close to 150,000 for freshers

[b]You want to fight for FREE TERTIARY EDUCATION? Are you serious or high on cheap drugs? Where does that happen? Believe me N100,000 per annum is so cheap, it's cheaper than Laboratory charges in international Universities.

You guys are quick to play the comparison card but you never verify your facts before betting on it. Government subsidize their local tuition fee yet it's 20 times more expensive than Nigeria Universities.

Local Students pay - N2,000,000+ per annum

International Students pay - N5,000,000+ per annum and this is not a luxurious university.

You should note that basic education is the right of every child but not tertiary education. Even the British themselves, only a few of them could afford a college degree. You have it better Bro, appreciate the Govt. effort to make education cheaper in Nigeria. People here become indebted after college, they spend the first 3 years of their working lives paying off college debts.

You don't know what you have until you've lost it.[/b]

michade: LASU school of engineering fee is 298k for current freshers n 200..And other levels pay the total sum of 25k.....

Dada-Stephen:

Father Lord!

Dada-Stephen:


I was almost offended by your comment until i saw your profile name.
You appear to b grossly misguided. These countries with expensive tuition fees have ways of making up for their citizens, most don't have what we have in terms of natural resources. They have appropriately structured welfare packages for the citizenry.
Africans and especially Nigerians made education expensive abroad, as at last two years, Norway, Finland and Austria run free education at all levels and i believe some countries still do.
Mind you, you might have to read the constitutional before talking ignorantly.

rudedough:

[b]I don't want to reply to your comment that is void of facts but hearsay. But know this.

The selfishness of your fathers are the reason why Nigeria Universities are like these. You have inherited that selfish give-me-for-free attitude from your father and you're already prepared to destroy your children's education in the future and if they too inherit your selfish free-for all attitude, it's going to continue a vicious circle.

Before you pick offense, let me explain to you how selfish your fathers were in the past. In 1964 we discovered oil, Population was 55,620,268. Government started building schools and declared it FREE-FOR-ALL our fathers were happy. They built railways, made it cheap everyone was happy. Built hospitals made it cheap our fathers were happy and everything else.

Fast forward to today, population 170,000,000 people.

Free-For-All railway don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.
Cheap Airport don kpafuka no money for maintenance.
Cheap Universities don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.
Toll-Free Bridges don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.
Toll-Free Roads don kpafuka, no money for maintenance.

Your "OUR OIL" mentality has so shattered your sense of reasoning, you don't think anymore before you write. All you "WE HAVE OIL" people forgets that our population now is 170,000,000 people and our oil export cannot sustain half of our population.

Your fathers caused the problem that we now suffer, don't spread the suffering to the next innocent generation. Pay for whatever the Govt gives you until the Govt is buoyant enough to subsidize our livelihood. SAY NO TO I-WILL-GIVE-YOU-FREE-UNIVERSITIES GOVERNMENT.

Darey4u2010: Classic! I am interesting on this quest. It is indeed a great job to investigate and defend such qoute in our constitution. It gonna be a beneficial to less privileged. I wish you succes and positive accomplishment!

vanguard1: Cheap tuition means cheap(substandard) Education, we ought to have past that level now. it is a honest fact that Education aint for the poor.if you can't afford it, go and learn a skill.

Chomzy19: Is that supposed to be an English Word?

One of the Ills of cheap Education

careless:

Darkaengel:


How stupid can you get? When you say education is cheap and you compare with the price of other universities abroad based on the exchange rate can you not realise you are trsting the borders of sanity? The OP is doing the right thing. In Nigeria here how many families can afford the 150k some schools charge. Ekiti state charges about 100 now as against the 165 before it was reduced due to an uproar from students. Please if you cannot help move the nation forward leave the rest of us who want to do so. You complain of standards. Despite the lack of facilities we still excel based on the theoretical framework of our education system. I have experienced foreign education, where preciselY and how many countries I will not bother to elucidate, and really the only difference is the lack of infrastructure and a few sensible lecturers, nevertheless we can make education free so I beg you in God's name be the change you want in society.
