The Governor, who spoke on Tuesday at the inauguration of the boards, said the current tuition fees were not realistic and could not even maintain water supply in the schools.

The governor charged members of the institutions Governing boards not to entertain any fear, adding that they should be bold to make recommendations.

Akeredolu said: “The education of our people is important to us. It is not easy to govern uneducated people.

“What we pay as tution can buy a pair of shoe. The council members should look at it critically and advise us right.


“There is no other place in South West where they pay meager tution. People don’t want to hear it but we will say it, we are elected to take decision, and that decision we will take.”

Bro they need money to campaign for the old fool Cowhari in 2019

It's now safe to say APC is a satanic establishment created to put Nigerians in pain and misery

Sai APC, Sai the suffersticated ones that put all their eggs in APC basket.

I thought Ondo State was an oil producing state, entitled to 13% derivation. What happened to that money and what has Akeredolu done with it?

Quality education costs a lot of money but where do they want people to get the money when the minimum wage is 18000 and people are being owed salary?

Welcome to APC changeeeeeee. My ondo people, ntorrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

and its getting even worse..smh...old greedy bastards want to have everything for themselves and their families.. no one cares about you...

How much did he pay when he was a student? If at all he wasnt under scholarship as a student then.

You are asking a clueless man a question. Someone that never commission any project in a year in office

I dread state universities! A lunatic may win election and increase tuition to 200k.

APC in power, everything becomes unbearable, we don enter 1 chance

This is very pedestrian. Africa had highly complex and smooth running governing systems that were easy to run before Western education.

This man is supposed to be a lawyer though.

Smh.

He's probably planing building one of the best estate in Nigeria when he lives seat.

The govt is finally waking up and now realize the current structure isn't sustainable. The church unis are opening eyes that mediocrity sustained with crowd mentality won't last forever.
Cc : HigherEd, CodeTemplar

He suppose to say all this when he was doing campaign before they voted for him. anyway, that is want they use to in this country. they demolish the house of those that voted for them. what a pity. yeye pinkin

Smh.

You mean the "smooth" governments who sold their neighbours and citizens as slaves?

So he can spend more money on his girlfriends and side hoes.

Owambe governor

pls folks ayam not understanding, these people were supposed to be the ones making life easy for the masses and now they are the ones making life unbearable for the masses, I hope this news is false otherwise there's no single hope for a common man in this shïthole of a Jungle

Now this is a State with access to Federal Allocations, Igr from thousands of people and oil derivation saying fees are not sustainable at current levels. Yet someone would go and start trolling churches on top tithe that they don't pay. If Ondo can't successfully fund free education with all her resources then how do some of you expect same from churches who only receive free-will donations...

And yes I think Ondo should subsidize fees for her indigenes. Let's leave fee raise for private universities who don't enjoy assess to Tetfund, subvention and the likes. My other advise would be for State governments to leave the business of university education and adopt private universities instead just like the US Fed govt does.

Imagine Ondo adopting Elizade University alongside the owners which would help to crash out the fees at the university. The owners build the physical infrastructure while the State Govt can pay part of the recurrent wage bill. This would bring the tuition of Elizade drastically down for poor indigenes of Ondo.

Like you don't know how Nigeria is or are you a foreigner?, The oil money is being looted by these blood sucking demons, I feel for Ondo indegenes, they are in for a big shit.

A set of people that enjoyed free education while growing up, are now making that same education a hell of unaffordable for the poor masses who are being underpaid in the name of salary . See una changiiiiiii

Don’t be dumb.

The Irish, Slavs & Arabs were also sold as slaves by Europeans who gave you modern governance to Europeans and Africans. Slavery is a by-product of a socio-economic system and sometimes a dictate of political economy.

The modern government has enslaved the entire world with capitalism, endless labour & primitive acquisition of wealth.

Working 9-5 to be paid salary & pension is in itself slavery; every modern government of the world sells its citizen as slaves the moment they hit working age.

So relax.
