PETER OBI: "A recent news story attributed to the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC) regarding the decline in the standards of our university education has highlighted the significant challenges facing our education system.

According to the Executive Secretary, the situation requires the production of more PhD holders to address these issues. However, the Executive Secretary's solution overlooks several obstacles, such as the unnecessarily prolonged time it takes to obtain a PhD in Nigeria and the frustrating disparity between wages and the level of academic attainment in the country. Though deeply troubling, I wonder how he expects an increase in PhD holders when it takes a minimum of 10 years of dedicated study after secondary school to earn a PhD.

If fortunate, one might be employed as a Lecturer Grade 2 with a monthly salary of around ₦150,000, often paid irregularly, totaling N1,800,000 annually. In stark contrast, our legislators, whose required educational qualification is merely a secondary school certificate, receive a monthly salary of ₦21 million, which is more than 10 years salary of a PhD holder.
This disparity is the root of the problem. Additionally, legislators are provided with SUVs worth ₦160 million from the public purse. For a PhD holder to afford such a vehicle, it would take over 85 years of saving [b]every kobo earned. The solution lies in shifting our society from a consumption-driven mindset to a production-oriented approach, where hard work, innovation, and talent are valued and rewarded.[/b]

By prioritizing investment in education and innovation, we can create a system that celebrates knowledge, expertise, and dedication, rather than political positions and influence.

This transformation is essential to restoring Nigeria's former prestige in global education rankings and elevating the quality of our higher education system.

A new knowledge based Nigeria is indeed POssible.

So?
Lots of our senators ain't scholarly, they ain't intellectually either, neither are they productive to the state and economy. They just collect fat pay.

It may take some civil servants 100 years to afford a hajj slot. The assumption for elective offices is that majority of the people are making the best choice. I cant fault an SSCE holder finding himself in HoR or Senate.
The comparison is a lil bit off. How many professors have truly advanced the body of knowledge they are suppose to? Ask them to look inwards for extra revenue and you start hearing about pure water and bread factories as ideas.

U talk too much obi

COMRADES, Nigerian legislators won't be happy with this fact from Peter Obi

I don't know why despite the public outcry and condemnations about this fat earnings, the legislators remain unremorsful

And none of your labour party member senators rejected it oo Mr reactor

Iro

But this same man bought 400 SUV's for Traditional rulers when he was a Governor..

So says a protege of a notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture

Shocking that it's just SSCE that's needed to qualify as a Nigerian presidency aspirant and other political offices yet these buffoons are the most paid politicians in the whole world. Nothing can be funnier. The most shocking is that these few political class are just busy guzzling the inheritance of all the learned guymen in the whole country. If you see yourself anywhere cheering up any stupid politician not delivering, just give yourself a heavy knock on your coconut head because iberiberism has finished your life.

hmm. This is serious. Education is something else

Spagi:
U talk too much obi

Maybe you listen too much yourself...!

If he or his words irritate you so much, ignoring him shouldn't be hard.

My President!!

Let the thieves know how stinkingly corrupt they are.

The Presidency, The National Assembly, The Judiciary all ed together in the common goal of looting the wealth of this country.
Paying ₦29m a month to people who do nothing but sleep and put out useless bills why young Nigerians are labouring over projects and research work gets paid pittance.

Useless country with useless priorities

The People's President is always rational, giving logical analogies...








Our so called leaders must learn by force!

If the PhD holder breaks a new scientific frontier and patent his invention, it takes that year to earn more than 160M.

Obi was wrong.

However, our constitution is faulty and RMCA who determines the salary and emoluments of political office holder is corrupt

Okay

says the man who summit WAEC certificate for presidency

Ask this fool how many years it will take a PHD holder to buy one single SUV out of the 400 he gave to traditional rulers.

Spagi:

why did he "loss the election"?

The biggest business in Nigeria right now is politics..

They have killed the Industries and crippled the private sector..

So what do you expect..?!
