Nigeria needs technical , creative arts and tools schools more than private and university schools combined. But as useless as our government is, they still kept approving more useless universities for their selfish interests.
The truth is we need technology revolutions. But sad enough no one is thinking on that. Religions and political nonsense have taking over our youths thinking.
That's why you see a Lebanese man, who hardly know how to speak good English , that just attended one unaccredited technical school in Beirut coming to Ado ekiti to win contracts over anyone here and will now employ so called our graduates and pay them peanuts. Yes , am talking from experience, because I know a guy when he came from Lebanon hardly feed his family , won a contract of 200million . His commission was around 10% and he contracted the job out for another firm. I don't know the detail of the contact, but I know that this country educational system is totally bullshit and the idiots are busy doing twitter war. Arrant nonsense.
In reality, no university is whot it in Nigeria. Privates are too expensive for common man that have potential while public are too rugged for many chaps to cope with considering the stress and the challenges surrounding the schools. No thanks to the thiefing politicians and pastorprenurs. Only individual strive can make the difference either you attend private or public university.

Public universities are far better a lot of these so called private schools. Only private schools like Covenant University, American University and Igbinedion University are the only private schools to write home about. The school I graduated from in Nigeria is nothing to write home about. I'm currently suing them for trying to incompetence, negligence and ineptitude. I graduated in 2014. That same year I was cleared and mobilized for Nysc and equally had my results approved by the school's senate committee. I rounded off my service in 2015 only to come back in 2016 to request for my transcript and I was told that I was having 10 carryovers. As we speak the matter is in court.

When I start hiring, if I have to hire someone with a degree because of insurance/etc then it'll be from a university that was in existence in the old western states. Otherwise, I'll hire from other African countries.

I refuse elitism.

it'll be from a university that was in existence in the old western states.

All this small children that would stand on their parents mo eh and be making noise. It we check the root of this problem it all boils down to politics.

Wait to u ever think any private university will want any FG university to be developed in any form. No..! Cause it bad for business, we using outdated scheme of works, unqualified profs and lecturers yet we have monkeys making way with million s same with snakes, pls if the government invest money in federal university, it bad business for private universities, should that happen private universities will drop their standards real low again, hence, all these ones making noise on twitter won't have the liver or even dream about saying private uni are better than FG uni. I am also not concluding that private uni sucks. They just arnt as good as good as they think, cause if the government interfere and improve it universities facilities. They would be on diff levels.

Anyways those that will make it, will make it.

HigherEd:

In some ways you are right. If public universities improve radically without raising fees and then decide to expand access then many private universities would simply suffer as patronage would drop sharply.

Or

If public universities improve radically[b] can never happen
they are in a death spiral and fowl yansh about to blow like govt secondary schools

[/b] without expanding access nor raising fees[b]
hahahahahahahaha
you so cute
[/b] then private universities would enjoy patronage but from less qualified candidates..

However a few private universities can still thrive even with excellent cheap public universities existing and their selling point would be a good PRESTIGE. Any private university that is sensible enough should start working on its reputation by carving out a niche and becoming excellent in it now, so that when public universities start becoming better it won't ruin them.

I believe Covenant is already prestigious, Pan Atlantic and ABUAD are also on course to have a distinct identity. Igbinedion and Madonna have sadly lost out despite having huge advantages as the First generation of private universities.

that in itself is a form of elitism

but more to the point, universities like CU are providing the first generation universities with competition, and i'm not sure those schools can meet up.

the old format was pass through university, get a 2.1, learn the skills on the job

the top notch private universities teach the skills and give the 2.1. so their grads have a distinct advantage. its easier for me if i have people coming in who already know how to use CAD applications etal. training them or delegating to them is easy.

i cannot say if they are now using autocad proper in our institutions or if some silly old codgers are still flexing with tsquares and drawing boards. i cannot say if computer science students are actually being taught C++, C# etal, or if they are still being taught dead languages like pascal \fortran without computers.

I stopped reading your post when I noticed you didn't add full stop at the end of your post.

Exactly!! The thought of "suing" came to your mind because it is a private university. Your first year school fees alone is a full schorlarship for public univ.Students. Who born you to even THINK of suing in a government school. Your future is already at risk. My dear, Private is better by far. Forget the money! Na God dey provide.

I had the chance to go to a private university (Covenant precisely), but I went ahead with UNIBEN instead and today I am regretting my decision.

HigherEd:

I knew it. That university has been recording a lot of complaints over telling ppl they HV carryover after graduation.

uyiekpenn:
I'm not forgetting anything. I know how my father paid my fees. A school where I paid 2.5m naira in 5yrs is what you want me to forget? My future can never be at risk cos whatever I've been destined for I'll certainly be. Imagine after spending 5yrs and paying such an outrageous sum, only to come back for my transcript the school started telling me I was having 12 carryovers. Even when I've finished serving.

Fifthwave:
Private/Public university can not make a dullard a genius in 4 years. If you are not smart, you're not!

It all boils down to the individual.

I graduated from a Public University, but I can defend my piece of paper (certificate) anywhere in the world.
Hardwork, discipline and self development is key.


P.S: Let's not argue about private/public Nigerian universities please. Nigerian Public Universities are a monumental failure in the history of tertiary Education.
Also, some private universities should cease to operate.

CU is a leading institution, I must admit. Only if they could widen their faculties for more disciplines.
