It has become very disappointing and tragic with the economical collapse of the nation and the failure in Educational sector in the country. Most of the Nigerian universities and now ranks well below 30 in Africa and it is really becoming disappointed.

I have been seeing this headline 'Nigerian universites fail to make top 10 Africa' for over 20 years self.

But let's sit down and think

University of Namibia, their fees is 213000 naira.

Cape town university fees is 776000 naira per annum..no 1.

Then UI fees for 2023/24 is between N25000-80000 naira per annum.

And you ask why this matters?

You need money to build good facilites, pay for good labs, good libraries, pay for decently run hostels, pay for power, pay for maintenance costs and so forth.

It is even a miracle UI is at this level self.

But when this is pointed out to nigerians...they will cry 'WE ARE POOR'.

So we keep on underfunding our universites every year.


You want good universites....PAY FOR THEM.

So, let's stop grumbling and start paying up...individuals and government. And yes, I hate saying this.

Extremely disappointing and chaotic.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Extremely disappointing and chaotic.

So, pay the fees and the taxes needed to make them number one.

Vote for governments that would diversify our economy so that we can have enough money to supplement income from raised fees and taxes for our universites.

This ain't our granddady's and daddy's days when universites had only 3000 students and there were less than six of them.

Quality education involves good funding and detailed planning.

Covenant, Babcock and the likes are not there? Even with the fees?


Interesting.

No wonder Nigeria students goes to Sudan to acquire Education. Shame on APC government and a bigger shame on all their supporters

Relatively new universities, without much of a research imprint.

Nigerian students go to Sudan, Ghana, Cyprus, Turkiye, US, UK , Canada, and other universities oversea because the number of students wanting a university education is higher than the number of spaces available in our universities, especially the cheaper government ones. Been like that for a very very long time.

That's why Obasanjo when he was in power allowed the establishment of private universities, and partly why GEJ built 6 new universities, and even this outgoing APC admin is churning out licenses for universities.

Even then, it is not enough. Our large population makes matters worse.

Shey when LASU and their VC were celebrating production of bread, una dey here dey hail and hype them...how do you expect to top the list when something like bread production is a big deal in Nigerian universities

Useless country!

And bread production, right?

Wow...

Bet we have more prayer warriors and fellowships on our campuses though... Solving spiritual problems.

School no be fine building and grass. I withdrew from CU in me second year, I joined to become engineer, dem wan turn me to pastor... best descision I ever made.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu will rank us as the cocaine university of the world

Not good enough, Buhari government destroyed education sector throughout his 8 years in power. Very bad

Lies. Nigeria university makes top 500 world ranking

Buhari and his sycophants dont care .
good governance is not their priority

Any Nigerian schooling in any university in Africa is not serious

Strike here, strike there. Lecturers follow cause am.
It is only in Nigeria that a lecturer will brag that no student will get an A in his course.

And we wonder why some states govt are sponsoring students to study in Sudan 🇸🇩?

Yet FG just released N300B to them plus ASUU money and normal education budget.

Every should sit at home and be reading handouts now.

I beg to differ with your submission, however, this is not negating the validity of your thoughts as conceived by you.

In my opinion, we are majoring in the minor. For instance, how much does the National Assembly consume and why are we not channelling all those funds into education either through student loans or proper renumeration for lecturers and all?

The person you want to pay high school fees, his/her parents earn less than 50k per month.

Furthermore, even the current funding system of public universities is not transparent. Wonder why a former VC of a big school was recently charged to court by EFCC? Trust me, the corruption there needs to studied as a thesis.

Then stop complaining about how bad our universities are then.

You cannot get world class on scanty money, (before we even talk about corruption).

Either we pay for world class, or we keep quiet. And yes, I know about how poor we are. But at the end, universites, good ones, cost money. Too much money.

What we pay for is what we get. 25 billion naira cannot give you world class...more like ten-twenty times that, then we can talk. And since we are in your opinion too poor to pay for world class, then let our universites remain poor.

And stop telling me stories about this or that corrupt VC, because what they are stealing, while a lot, is not going to make our universites world class. Their stealing is criminal BECAUSE they are stealing from a very small and impoverished pot of money.

Anybody which is talking about fees is the Nigerian illiteracy mentality they know nothing look at university of Ghana and other universities some of them have free fees but they much higher rank. Even if you pay a lot of fish with the Nigerian mentality they will use the money to build houses and broad
