Adedoyin, who is also the Maye of Yorubaland, in a statement, said the Federal Government intervention became necessary because the state and federal tertiary institutions are incapable of admitting 50% of admission seekers on yearly basis.
He noted that many brilliant students in private universities have dropped out because of their inability to pay school fees hence the government should come to their aid to make their dreams come true. Adedoyin spoke against the backdrop of recent data which stated that out of close to 2 million candidates writing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exams , more than a million would be denied admission not because they are not qualified but because the present carrying capacity of Nigeria tertiary institutions, especially public ones, is not enough to cater for the teeming population of youths seeking admission each year.Quoting the data, he said, “Around 1.
“The statistics also stated that while most public tertiary institutions, especially the federal ones, already admit above their carrying capacity, none of the private universities is able to admit up to its carrying capacity because of exorbitant school fees charged by private institutions in Nigeria.”
Adedoyin also noted that the carrying capacity of private universities is not met because they charge an average of 400,000 naira which most parents cannot afford even as he said that private universities spend heavily on payment of salaries and provision of facilities.
Why private varsity if you can not afford it? Why not Federal university or even State? Pls cut your coat according to your size. Nigerians should learn to live according to their means.
