ABUJA — Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on media, Mallam Garba Shehu, says Nigerian universities are as good as and even better than foreign institutions.

Shehu stated this on Saturday at the graduation ceremony of his son at the Glisten International Academy, Abuja.

According to him, though foreign institutions extend invitations to Nigerians to study in their countries at a discounted rate, Nigerian universities are not inferior to them.

He noted that the federal government was working towards stabilising the educational system in a bid to dissuade parents from sending their children overseas to study, adding that university education in Nigeria is the best.

“You can see that a lot of foreign institutions are extending invitations to the students at discounted rates to study overseas,” Shehu said.

“I will say that Nigerian universities are equally as good and even better, and we are hoping that we will be able to stabilise university education in the country so that parents don’t have to pay exorbitantly to educate their children abroad.

“University education in Nigeria should be the best for our children.”

Shehu’s comments are coming amid the over five-month-old strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), and the over three-month-old strike of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational Institutions (NASU).

    All of you in government that fails to tell the president the truth or sings his praise while Nigeria is headed for the rocks will not miss your due rewards.
    You are celebrating the graduation ceremony of your son in a private academy while students in public schools are at home for nearly six months now. Nemesis will visit all of you. Continue.
