ASUU STRIKE AND GOVERNMENT GREED
It is regrettable to note
that the status of
education in Nigeria under
the so called democratic
regime is even in a much
worse position now, than it
was under military
regimes. The situation of
our public institutions in
Nigeria is persistently
relegated to the
background and their
status were grossly under-
rated by government. The
IMF and World Bank
already designed an
educational Blueprint for
Nigeria, which translated
into poor funding of
education activities in the
country. The UNESCO
Recommendations of 26%
allocation to education
sector in the national
budget of developing
countries was totally
dumped by Nigerian govt.
The country is just too
capitalistic to the extent
that some of our
countrymen and women
have own private planes,
which the cost of each can
build a university! It is not
a crime to own private
planes, but what kind of a
system has enabled an
individual to own a private
plane and another
individual in the same
country cannot afford to
buy a bicycle? We have a
situations where National
assets, like our oil fields are
being given to close
members of the
government; some of them
quickly sell it for two to
three billion dollars. There
is nothing wrong in
making alot of money, but
not at the expense of the
nation. -A S WASAGU
