Politicians, Stop Sending Your Children To Foreign Universities - JAMB

Recently, social media has been flooded with pictures of some prominent politicians in Nigeria going to celebrate the graduation of their wards in far away universities like in the United Kingdom.

While the graduations called for celebration, many Nigerians condemned the trend in which our politicians preach “buy or consume made-in-Nigeria” while they do the exact opposite.

Others equally argued that this trend is why the Nigerian education sector seems to be neglected, with the frequent resultant strikes, like the one just called off last week by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU

Be that as it may, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has asked the elites, or legislators to urge their wards to get their first degree in Nigeria before going for additionally examines abroad.

Pillar Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede gave the counsel in Abuja on Friday while talking with newsmen.

According to him, it will be worthwhile for the children to obtain the first degree in the country where the public and private institutions are of high quality and standard rather than study abroad at institutions that are of poor quality and low standard.
