kaeforum: Thanks for the response.. I will first start by correcting your opening line: Basic Education is a Right, University Education is not under Nigerian Laws.. ![]() I did not say give out free scholarship, I said "MERIT" scholarship. Meaning the benefactors of the scholarship would be based on merit. Meaning your CGPA is tied to your scholarship. Private entities can also introduce 'Sports Scholarship" like obtains in the U.S. If you are good at a sport and can maintain a set grade point, your tuition is paid. Should you drop during the course of your schooling, you lose your scholarship. There is also the option of Student Grants/loans. But I maintain that no University can function the way ours do. Equipment in the Labs need to be regularly replaced, repaired and upgraded, Heavy Machines, buses, vehicles, e.t.c all need to be serviced regularly and maintained and replaced. School furniture's, office supplies, logistic costs, sundry.. All these cost real money that the Government grants cant cater for. Thats why most of the buildings in these Universities are rundown. I maintain that the Government should grant the Universities autonomy abd allow them set their fees and generate income however they can via whaever means. The Government also needs to dis band GCE, NECO and JAMB and leave on WAEC as the examination body for secondary school leavers. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IS NOT A RIGHT... Scholarship is the way forward. 2 Likes 1 Share |

femi4:You want them to go and steal. Do you think life is rosy like the way you think. In Unilag during my school days, some students can't even afford 15k for school fees. Some had to borrow money with interest from fellow students like them. |

wisest10: Prayers!! ![]() Lol.. I have nothing against you nor your family and as you wish me, so shall it be in your life as well..

Obiwiz: Good Point.. Thats why I proffered alternatives like 'merit base scholarships', student loans/grants, e.t.c. Example: The kid from UNILAG that landed a perfect score should not have to pay a dime for his University degree.. The kid struggling with a third class would have to pay to stay in school. Merit based. The better your grades, the less you pay. Or you take a student loan and repay it after graduation. |

Lyoncrescent: You have got a point. As an educationist, the basic education is Pre-primary/Primary to Secondary education. Higher education is just a plus but, Nigerian government have tried and still trying her best for her citizens to get higher education despite all the challenges facing the country at large. If our govt should take hands of our higher institution only few people would be able to afford higher education. |

MadCow1: Very very very true. The problem is,most Nigerians think that university education should be cheap because....it was like that during our parents time. And when my father graduated, the total number of Nigerian university students was far less than the current number of students at my old alma mater. We have to face reality....if we want quality education, we may have to raise fees. 1 Like 1 Share |

passionate88: First time in history, all year 1 students have matriculation number before today. That is what you call being stubborn or trying to be strict. Dancing to DJ that was hired by who?? People that don't have money for fees. It's alright. |
Re: Increase In Fees: Uniport Students Protest, Block East West Road (pix) by Nobody: 12:49pm On Apr 11, 2016 |
Gaddafithe2nd: In 1979.....the total number of students in Nigerian universities was 80,000...spread across six universities Now it is 2million.If not higher. That is why in the 60's and 70'S...students could go to school for ''free''. And thanks to falling oil revenues...we do not have enough cash to fund unis adequately. We need N1.5 trillion naira yearly to adequately fund universities well...and even that cash is not enough.Our budget is N6-8TRILLION. See the problem. |

@OP, pls, modify the topic of this thread; the protest is not as a result of school fees increment but for disallowing indebted students from partaking in the exam, scheduled to have begun today and which to some people mean extra year! Thanks. |

This is just a case of students becoming MONSTERS. To think they picked the perfect time for their protest- on the first day of exam. I know a few people who can't afford the fees, I even know someone who had to leave school few weeks ago due to the deadline for payment. But most of those protesting? a lot of 'em will definitely be able to brag about the super expensive gadgets (mobile devices e. t. c) they use. Most of these same students "that can't afford fees" pay rents for their houses at about 100k on the average. We all just have to agree that the money the school gets is not enough to fund the system. Or did they hear of most of the lecturers getting pay cuts? They probably didn't. N45000 is way way below what a university needs per student. My take is that these protesters are just lazy. And are definitely more myopic and fraudulent than those they're protesting against. It's even shameful to call this act of vandalism a protest. Stealing school properties amongst others. Sneak preview to about a year old AEB building.

fiftynaira:Stupid students, I paid 50k last year in that same uniport, I paid 10k just to do my project defense December last year, I know how much I have paid for my ungoing clearance and these students are vandalizing offices over 45k. Truth be told 95% of students in uniport leave off campus this costs 100,000 and above, they use expensive phones and laptops and still think 45k is too much, the sad part is students tend to spend their school fees thinking they can pay later just so they can lead false lifestyles in school. Stupid idiots they don't realize doing this is just to their own detriment, and this is going to have an adverse effect on us trying to get cleared so we go for Nysc by June! And they are out there dancing to music! I weep for Nigeria |
