Government should subsidise education in developing countries, both for skills acquisition and academics. We should stop comparing developed countries with developing countries like Nigeria.

What is the level of education, poverty and Income per capita, in Nigeria, compared to your so called advanced countries?

If government cannot subsidise education and agric, then too bad.

Government cannot simply beacause the population is too huge, we just keep giving birth to multiple children like idiots

as at last count well over 1.5million children wrote JAMB you expect government to subsidize that massive shit? every year?
subsidy of our father/older generation is only possible because the population of people in school is very low

white people that usually give birth to 1 or 2 kids know what they are doing, even at that they all pay tax like mad, and take student loans

we can't eat our cake and have it back, subsidy is not possible in a population-explosive country like Nigeria, any child that the parent can't send to school mostly because they have 8 to 20 kids should either take loan or square it up with the parent whose responsibilty is to take care of their many kids

the country can't continue to spend the money she does not have

Tuition is free because you didn't pay for tuition.

Tinubu is very brilliant.

At least, with the student loan, the youths that failed to payback would be recruited into the army as payback. Agbado and cassava go surplus.

50 million youths into the army, is here to stay.

Many thanks for the timely reminder to the forgetful agbadorians.

Insecurity: Recruit 50 million youths into army, Tinubu urges FG

All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, on Monday, urged the Federal Government to recruit at least 50 million youths into the Nigerian Army to boost Nigeria’s fight against terrorism, banditry and all forms of internal and external security threats confronting the nation.

Tinubu spoke at the 12th colloquium to celebrate his 69th birthday in Kano State.

He said, “We are under-policed and we are competing with armed robbers and bandits to recruit from the youths who are unemployed —33 per cent unemployed?”

“Recruit 50 million youths into the army,” he stated, adding that “what they will eat —cassava, corn, yam, will grow here.”

The APC chieftain, while reacting to recent statistics by the National Bureau of Statistics that over 23 million Nigerians are jobless, also urged the government to create jobs for youths in the agricultural value chains.

He said, “Don’t talk about illiteracy, anybody who can hold a gun, who can handle a gun, who can cock and shoot is technically competent to repair a tractor in the farm.”

seriously government need to claim refund on some people tution fees

WHEN YOU GIVE WITH RIGHT HAND
AND COLLECT BACK WITH LEFT HAND..
WHAT IS THE PROCESS CALLED

Where did the oil revenue go? Last i heard oil is selling above budget benchmark and our bpd is lower than our opec quota.

Primary and secondary is free in countries with bigger population than ours. E.g. US and Canada.

Taxes do all these in other societies and do it well such that your citizens even japa to those countries to enjoy such things courtesy of the taxes of those countries.

The problem in my estimation is how our govts got their priorities wrong. While we're debating taxes, our CBN gave one man $5bn and he has also been blessed with import license, not counting how many tax breaks he's gotten for his companies. Yet we tell the common man that govt can't bear his burden.

Have you seen falana's letter? If this govt supporters really mean well and understand anything, they should impress on Tinubu the need to implement that letter to the last dot.

But they are too busy singing hallelujah while the noose is getting tighter on their necks.

. The problem is citizens like you don't pay attention .You make too many assumptions often wrong.

As a starting point this is about the Federal government
So how much oil revenue did the FG get past year?
What is The total revenue of the FG and what is the current debt service.
It is important to arm yourself with data,on Revenue and debt servicing so you actually know what you are talking about.
The FG is almost broke.
Anyone who wants to go to university has to pay for it . That is The bottom line

All these are not the tuition fees but other miscellaneous bro. If government institutions are charging tuition, students will have to pay nothing less than 300k per semester. 300k is even an understatement.

NLegendforte:
Nonsense, I am in federal University currently, paid almost 200000 this session, have spent close to 80k this semester on feeding, transport, materials etc.

Wait, you expect government to still pay for your feeding, transport and other materials or what??

there is no "tuition" fee in the above. meaning when the government adds it cost of school fees would go up. Honestly people like leodfool, ihorsdpy should be stoned.

MorataFC:

You will understand

You read books there, isn't it?

You slept there, and you need to pay for it

This one is funny, even Father xmass can not feed you for one day without collecting money from you

You bought them and it yours.
Who pays the staff? Both teaching and non-teaching staff.
What are about the general running expenses of the school?

So the school fees paid, what are they paid for

Beverlyjean:
Agbadorians are dumb na... Tinubu operates like the devil.... take and bring in return

I greed with you, but my conclusion is this, any government that will put more burden on poor Nigerians, God will forcefully remove that government from the sit of power, He knows how to do it. How would some one contemplating of introducing tuition fees to poor Nigerians. While government officials are embezzling trillions of naira on a daily bases, inflating concert price at will without consequence. Then the Nigeria masses have to pay for education. By the way, all this people that are postulating for the introduction of tuition now, let them tell Nigerians how much tuition they paid in their university days, if yesteryears leaders like Awolowo, Hamadu Bellow, Azikwe and orders are corrupt as they were then, they will not think of providing free education for their people, but because the interest of their people is paramount to then, they have to provide free education. We Nigerian masses say no to tuition introduction in our schools.

The problem with people like you is you refuse to think for yourself but swallow govt propaganda.

Is it only FG that owns universities? States own more universities than FG combined.

You mentioned primary and secondary schools. Are your aware those are basically under states' purview? So it's not just an FG issue in terms of spending.

You should ask the FG for such questions not me.

What I know is the oil revenue exceeded budget benchmark.

If the FG is broke, can it show us how it got broke. What happened? Did the expenditure increase or the revenue decrease? I'm not convinced by your generalisation.

Nigerians have been paying for education. The present govt just wants to increase what they pay in a thousand folds.

That's the catch.

Are you people pay to write this or you are writing out of ignorance, if emefele can tell Nigerians that he paid a woman 500 billion naira every month, if former accountant general can fraudulently divert 120 billion, if 1.5 trillion and nearly ten million Dollars can be traced to public officer, if a person can rent Ethiopia air line for 139 billing naira etc. Then someone will now tell me that government have no money to fund education, hanger of God will definitely fall on such a person.

Funny guy .
I am old enough to remember Ali must go riots.
These tensions are ancient
Once upon a time students in Nigerian universities enjoyed free food with treats like ice cream fried chicken et c . 2 or 3 in a room,cleaners cleaning your rooms and doing laundry. Yes Nigeria
I was in university under Babangida when it all disappeared. Tuition was still free under Babangida but the quality dropped massively
Forget the polemic. You have a visceral understanding

Our population has trebled and we are broke.
There is no way to sugar coat it.
Once upon a time Nigerian universities were world class. Today there is no money and students has to pay

BOOKWORMLUX:
Federal Universities across the country have increased their school fees already, so I don't understand this tuition fees again

Imagine someone studying Civic Education paying about #100k school fees already and they're still talking about tuition fees

I hope this is not true, because last last everybody go leave the school for them

You'll pay more than 100k now. That's what they saying

We do not pay school fees in federal universities at the moment. If we did, the amount would be very close to that paid in private universities.

The money required to subsidise education is not up to the money wasted on the national assembly, we should rather stop subsidizing politicians!

If all the 1.5million that writes JAMB gets admitted yearly then at an average tuition fee of N100,000,we are talking about only N100billion,yearly.

Whereas not up to 50% gets admitted yearly, so we would be looking at just N50billion Naira!

I would rather government subsidise education than introduced any unwarranted loan scheme for students!

Brother, the money you paid weren't enough for the services received or so they think.

The detailed list of the services we paid for as student in FUTO is listed below.

For international students, the tuition fee was capped at $2000.

Another good move, removal of subsidies on higher education will sift the wheat from the chaff in terms of parents, students and staff of universities. Higher education is a serious business and so cannot be by all and for all.

Tinubu has been hijacked already! In just two weeks all he's done is sign this bill and sign that bill, without knowing what the bill entails. He studied none of those bills and he is going to sign more draconian bills. What he's doing he wot not. He's already been remote- controlled. Dangerous times ahead for Nigerians. Those who rejected Obi shall reap what they've sown.

OVikkytan49:


Yes it's not entirely free.
I was referring to those that made it seem as if students don't pay a dime in higher institutions.

I understood and shared same sentiment that's why I was tackling the semantic of the text "free education" as if students aren't paying for learning. I dislike how people use language to exaggerate situation, thereby undermining the efforts of others.
