N100 billion spent annually as tuition by Nigerians in Ghana

Do you know that about N100 billion is spent annually as tuition by Nigerians studying in Ghana? Former lawmaker and educationists, Senator David Iornem revealed this at a briefing to mark his 64^th birthday anniversary in Makurdi.
The main reason for this is because Nigerian Universities cannot accommodate all candidates seeking admission to study various causes.
David suggested that Government should allow for the establishment of small university colleges by willing entrepreneurs as it is done in the United Kingdom, America, Malaysia and Germany.
“In these countries, small university colleges which may be affiliated to bigger universities are set up by small scale entrepreneurs with adequate resources. I believe that when we kick start this process, more than 500,000 university places will be created in the first year.
“This can be achieved by involving small entrepreneurs and allowing existing universities to set up satellite campuses. By the third year of starting this system, no Nigerian youth wanting to enter a university, polytechnic or a college of education will have any difficulty or denied the opportunity to develop himself or herself.
 “It is totally unacceptable to officially shut the door against young Nigerians wanting admission, thereby, leaving them stranded and hopeless; we must return the higher education sector to its days of glory when brilliant young people were sure of their future.”Prof. Iornem said
