All animals are not equal in Nigeria farm. Because they don't receive medial treatment in Nigeria, that's also the same reason our health facilities are in dilapidated state
I just saw a news where his niece graduated in London University.

He should lead by example by bringing back his children to study in Nigeria then we will take him serious.

So that you will use strike to fustrate them. These things are not hard. Just make the country attractive to the citizens first. Then others will want to come and have a taste of it.

Even with the level of insecurity, funding , corruptions and other social vices? It's ok

Even though the politicians have the majority of the blame with underfunding, still yet what are those federal tertiary institutions doing with the funds they have been receiving. How can a VC, Profits not even taking their time to be visiting the school hostels to see how the students are living.

We have a long way to go on Nigeria
We definitely have a long way to go but in a society where government is all talks and no action this is the result you get.

Let them start by employing foreign lecturers and improving the welfare of the local lecturers as well as total overhaul of the facilities and activities of state and federal universities.

It has nothing to do with opportunity but more about standard.
We're don't have the standard to offer what it takes.
So who will want to waste money?
What are the ranking of our universities?
Universities where NEPA takes light?
Where hostel smells like sh!t and bad road with not enough seat for student or the ones with secondary school classroom designs.

Femi gbajabiamila nor get sense!

What you mentioned is a factor, but it's not a major problem. There are US universities that not recognised by any global ranking institutions, but foreigners would rather study in such American universities than choose ranked Nigerian universities.

Believe it or not, most self-funded international students study abroad to explore foreign opportunities.

Nigerian public universities source foreign students.....what a joke! 😃

I wonder o, maybe they should "source" them using bandits to kidnap them from Nigeria, Chad and Benin then force their relatives to pay "Education Ransom", and release them after graduation.

Meanwhile, Naija youths wey dey jápa go UK and Canada were not "sourced" by the universities they ran to, o......they willingly paid thousands of Dollars to escape this country.

Is it revenue for the schools or for kidnappers

It's a shame that Femi Gbaja doesn't know that why most international students study abroad is that they wish to explore the possibility of getting jobs and living in that foreign country. What opportunities does Nigeria have that will attract other Africans in their numbers to Nigeria?
you can see the quality of thinking of the leaders we have and you are wondering why we are where we are

Which federal University has been equipped sufficiently to attract foreign students?


As one commenter rightly mentioned, the country needs to be attractive to bring in foreign talents. there need to be jobs, development before they can attract stidents abroad. Also, schools need to position themselves as

Femi GbajabiamiJOKER, Can you hear yourself talk. If you're a foreign father, will you allow your child come to Nigeria for undergraduate or post graduate studies with the level of insecurity, poor infrastructure (no light, no pipe borne water) etc undecided undecided

Zero opportunity, plus students stay extra years in schools due to lecturers strike

It is obvious that you didn't attend top Nigerian universities. FYI, UNILAG used to have a foreign campus in a top world nation.

Ordinarily, this should have been the case, but due to poor economic growth, insecurity, low standards of most public universities, wayo ission processes etc., we can't compete with the likes of South Africa and Kenya.

Are the universities themselves attractive in of structure, accommodation, lecture halls which are far below a safe and healthy standard

Smh. You're ignorant. It was FG that didn’t encourage it and as a matter of fact, barred universities from having satellite campuses to ensure that they can have a closer oversight. Foreign students are in UNILAG at the moment. My advice to you is to attend top universities and you will not be ignorant of what takes place in prestigious universities.

Source foreign students to learn from which Nigerian schools?

The ones with bad teachers and bad academic standards or which one?

Fix your education system first before talking about that.

Useless government and politicians with no commonsense.

Gbajamilla knows he merely wanted to be heard. Afterall, he knows that only a crazy foreign student would come to Nigeria in the face of the exploits by Jihadi Boko/Fulani herdsmen/ISWAP.
