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.

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..

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.
