The value of education is immeasurable that is why all who have respect for knowledge and wisdom are agonising at the recent developments in the Nigerian university system and the cavalier manner in which such a serious issue was handled by those who should visit the Ambrosan library in Milan. The new policy must be pushed through. The right to education should be conferred on all citizens. It is a shame that most parents saw the prescribed ASSU-FGN disagreement as of no concern of theirs. Yet, they are the first to flock the universities seeking for miracles on how to get their children admitted to be taught by poorly paid academics.
Education is everybody's right.
Sooner or later, everyone has a need for enlightenment at university level. The struggle for a viable university system is everyman's . Government should review university teachers' salaries and fund the universities as much as possible. Only the best is good enough for Nigeria. More Olympic and Nobel prizes can only come when educational enlightenment is prized as gold.
