My rejoinder to Professor OMOTOYE OLORODE's "Sabotaging Nigeria’s public-funded university education"
Prof. Olorode has done a good job here howevr we must not forget that this is a country where corruption resides in every fiber of the society hence, adequate funding and absolute autonomy (without the nosing around of NUC) may not be the only panacea required to safe our failing and ailing education system.
Our so called professors and aristocrats have also failed us too, even if our weak successive governments have not succumbed to the external pressure to underfund the education system, are we sure that our VCs and their friends wouldn’t have misappropriated allocated funds?
If I may answer “no” to that question; we all can also say that our education system would have gotten this far worse due to misappropriation if not due to underfunding!
This brings me back to where I started from that adequate funding and absolute autonomy would not be the only needed cure for our failing education system; we also need Nigerians that are dedicated to Nigerians just like we need one in Aso Villa.
