seribroo56: this mentality will not get you far. how did you knw jamb rejected them.. is there any stat to back up ur claims..

Please help me ask him. The ones jamb did not reject still end up going to Private University because of facilities they know they can not get from non-private Unis.

droid007: Private universities do not benefit from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund. That is why they have to be expensive. Running a university is no small feat and I'm almost sure some of these private schools have not turned a profit.

You should be thanking these private unis for the increased capacity of Nigerian university admission, and not deriding them. If you want these universities to be cheaper, tell your government to give them access to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund.

God bless you!!!

Get this straight....universities are very very expensive.

It is only in Nigeria that we think that universities are like glorified secondary schools, where we sit down and just attend lectures,pass exams and get our paper qualification after four years.

Well, Universities also exist to do research.....and all sorts of research. That means facilities that are far in excess of any secodary school. Universities also exist to train not only undergraduates,but post-grads, and even people in employment. Plus they have hundreds of workers who must be paid at rates comparable to the Federal Universities.....or else they walk...and we haven't even talked about their pensions, or about how much it costs to maintain facilites in said universities.

Plus , universities must provide good housing for their students....and the fact is if a student is not living in good accommodation, he/she won't do well. (I studied in a Federal Univerisity....until my final year before I had a room to myself....for the last two months of my student career. At one point, I was sharing a room with six students).If a student is not well fed., he/she won't do well. And all that costs money.

Plus most of the church run universities can only get some funding for their activities from the parent church. You think that Oyedepo, for example, takes all the tithes and offerings in his church and pours it into Covenant? As if he does not have numerous pastors, church branches, missions, welfare, etc that he has to fund as well. Plus, churches like the Adventists that have parent churches in the West can only get some funding from the Parent church oversea....and not all of it goes into the university....they have hundreds of other obligations.

Let's be honest....university education is expensive. If you want to produce world beater graduates you have to pay for it. No excuses. Add the fact that Govt does not fund private universities....they just give you the land and registration and that's it.....and you see why they have high fees.

You, my friend, are very wise. The only logical, reasonable and realistic comment thus far
