Following the ongoing recession, around thrity eight universities have hiked their fees.
It can be recalled that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) have berated andfating low the adminstration of Muhammadu Buhari, noting that it will be difficult for any Nigeria university to effectively compete globally with the attitude of Buhari not to allocate enough budgetary allocation as prescribed by UNESCO to fund education.
According to a statement made available to news outlet DailyPost, the Chairman, ASUU – University of Ibadan chapter, Dr. Deji Omole, lashed out at the APC for promising “a minimum of 15 percent for education”.
The statement which assessed the two years of Buhari in office, lamented that the current government had made Nigerians poorer, adding that public education was not taken seriously because most children of the rich and those in high offices do not school in Nigeria.
