[OPINION BY ABU BILAAL ABDULRAZAQ BN BELLO BN OARE] Revamping Nigeria’s university system through concessions: An elixir to ASUU crisis | TheCable ASUUstrike
March 15, 2022 10:47 AMIt has become a norm that a student going to study a four years course, for example, in a Nigerian university, knows that he would have to spend four years plus X, where X is a variable determined by the total length of ASUU strike within the stipulated period.
It is obvious, therefore, that the university system requires alternative funding, instead of relying wholly on the federal government.
Such outsourcing arrangement, inter alia, will check the underwhelming performance of lethargic university personnel, lead to drastic improvement in the lecturers’ welfare and throughput, improve investment in the university education both in the big six and the concessioned schools, and adequately address the issue of incessant strikes by university lecturers.
