Okay. We dey watch how FG intend to rope dem for Naija after training or schooling.

Each university will get 6,111,111,111.111111 Naira. That is, if the money has not been looted.

It is less than the solar budget for the presidential villa. It shows how they set their priorities. But half bread is better than none.

But ASUU said the 50billion them no see, say na audio money...na true?

Is this man selecting what to implement, why can't he just implement the 2025 budget.

What of University of Delta, Agbor? BAT Delta State. At least we are now APC, let the development start coming.

110 billion for 18 schools, that's less than 10 billion per school, yet Tinubu budgeted 10 billion for only solar power in Aso rock, 21 billion to renovate Shettima's house and over 250 billion to buy new plane for himself, he throws crumbs as help for media propaganda and praise while lavishly spending billions on nonsense for himself and his cronies..

20 billion to renovate one residence, but 4.8 billion to build Medical university .

Everything about the man nah Audio in nurture

Very good, Kwara state may have no need to start employing native doctor then

Alright.

My medical doctor neighbor runs a bustling restaurant. Man said he can not come and die with poor medical salary. Side hustle is paying big

Great.
How do you keep your medical doctors in Nigeria please?
Or are you on a mission to produce more for Western countries.

This has nothing to do with tribe or politics.
The funding is for Federal Universities.

Channel the funds to industrialization. Those who finished from schools never see work, you keep pumping into education system. Pump more into industrialization to create jobs for those graduates first then you can come back to this later

I have nothing to do with tribe or politics or region or the universities selected for the program but how FG intend to keep them back in Nigeria after school. There should be attractive insensitives such as increased salaries, good welfare packages, etc that will keep dem back in Nigeria. This also goes for other professions. However, go through the list again, there are state universities on that it.

Money that have been shared before been approved.

Who is monitoring the utilisation of the funds and making sure it's actually used for its purpose?

Until the capital punishment is made for corruption Nigeria won't grow.

It's a good step.

Dear PBAT,

As long as your currency remains devalued, Medical Doctors will always migrate after you have spent humongous amount to train them.

The median salary structure of a surgeon in the USA is estimated between $500k- $1m per annum in Naira equivalent @ current exchange rate is N650m & N1.65Billon respectively per annum.

If your son Seyi- Tinubu sees such an opportunity will you tell him to stay back ?

Ayèwádà.

Good

No one even cares to ask where the FG is getting money from

I can't believe I am seeing Universities based in states that overwhelmingly gave their votes to Peter Obi in that list.

I must say, ńa man President Tinubu bí sha.

Hmmm, what a good question that a good leader must answer.

Fvckin criminal

Small but we have to start from somewhere

Continue producing them for developed and sane nations

Is this approval on paper or in real life?

Be like their brains don reset.
Now tell me who would question this? Not just federal but States owned Universities. This is just what we are demanding. Equal rights and justice. Not a rocket science .
