One thing about buharis promise is this it always come at the last minute
Yall will be waiting for all this promises in the very first quarter of 2016
Yall will wail n wail wen u dont see them,
Femi adesina will tell u in d fullness of time that 2016 is not yet over
Buhari on dec 29 2016 will pass it to the national assembly for final approval
Saraki will take a pucture while receiving on the said date close to a wall clock
Then it will take them through out 2017 to deliberate about it.

Wait o you mean free education for science,technology and education students? I am watching
Re: Buhari Declares Free Higher Education by Elxandre(m): 6:28pm On Dec 22, 2015
If you ask me, this isn't necessary considering that education in Nigeria is quite cheap already.
The funds could be used elsewhere.
We still even have states complaining they can't pay minimum wages.
Buhari should be careful of doing drastic things just to make an impression.

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that there will be free eduction for science, technology and education students in tertiary institutions.

Buhari gave the assurance Tuesday while presenting the 2016 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly.

President Buhari stressed that this would indeed mark a historic milestone for us as a nation.

Buhari said his administration would unveil a conditional cash transfer programme for the poorest and most vulnerable.

The president said the full programme would be presented in the coming weeks and that it would include home-grown public primary school feeding.

"Furthermore, through the office of the Vice President, we are working with various development partners to design an implementable and transparent conditional cash transfer program for the poorest and most vulnerable.

"This program will be implemented in phases. Already, the compilation of registers of the poorest persons is ongoing.

"In the coming weeks, we will present the full programme which will include our home-grown public primary school feeding and free education for science, technology and education students in our tertiary institutions.

"Indeed, this will mark a historic milestone for us as a nation", President Buhari said.

This administration and APC talk like deranged people. Even in America or free-town, education is paid for. It is a fact that education is expensive

This's the BEST news I've ever heard from a Nigerian president!. For the first time a Nigerian head of state have reasoned futuristically!.

This's something I've been calling for ages!. In fact, this news have made my christmas. This's all I want for Christmas.

Finally, an African head of state (aside Dr. Kwame Nkrumah) have come to the realization that Africa cannot develop without investment in grassroots science.

This man will turn out to be the greatest president Nigeria has ever had. God bless and keep you sir.

Patience is okay if the rewards in the end is beneficial.. we did patience with GEJ.. see where it got us. we have been doing patience the past 2 decades but because Crude Oil was still in fashion, we did not care for Performance, Accountability and Responsibility.. now we have to care because we will perish if we do not

For the first time, this's the only solid foundation that will see us diversify from an oil based economy to a technology driven economy. It will take a couple of decades to fruition, though.

Science + Technology = Industry.

Science + Technology + Industry = Development.

For nations, real wealth comes from knowledge of and application of science (technology) to create wealth.

Re: Buhari Declares Free Higher Education by Nobody: 6:51pm On Dec 22, 2015
There should be free education for all Nigerians,that's not too much to ask for.

As a oil producing nation,what does the common citizen has to show for it?

I could not agree more. With a diversified economy which covers agriculture and followed up with agro-allied products couple with a focus on sciences....we will surely see the emergence of a new Nigeria especially with the anti-corruption push. God bless our president.

Good news as courses such as education, medicine, engineering, and probably few others would now be free in tertiary institutions. My greatest regret will be empty promises.

We can now be following PMB by his word and promise.

Nigeria shall be great

This is just another promise in a long line of such "awoof" promises by Nigerian politicians: they all sound fine to the uneducated ear, but have no real financial basis, and always end in disaster. This is exactly how the fuel subsidy nightmare was created by Babangida in a bid to buy favorable publicity.

As some people have already pointed out, tertiary education costs money, and this government is already short of funds. How exactly will all of these new students be catered for, when nearly half of the government's income will already have to go to fuel subsidy payments, and the budget assumes an unrealistic oil price of $38 per barrel?

Even if Nigeria had free cash to spend on education, it would have been better used increasing primary and junior secondary school attendance across the country to 100%, providing decent textbooks, real school buildings and proper science labs for all children, and paying for supplementary meals for the poorest ones so they are not too hungry to pay attention in class. No developed country in the world sends all of its children to university, even in places like Germany which are real leaders in science and technology.

The only result of this policy will be more over-packed university lectures in run-down buildings, taught by under-paid lecturers who would rather be hustling in other ways to make ends meet than teaching, and students who will never have any contact with the science and technology they are supposedly learning, other than reading about them from second-hand textbooks. What is the point of turning out even more graduates who know almost nothing about what they studied, and can't find any jobs?

Even in the advanced countries, tertiary education is not free. What is needed in Nigeria is modern scientific equipment, laboratories, competitive funding for research. Then watch and see wonders!
