Education in Nigeria has been so expensive with most people eager to have education in the higher institution and to be called graduates but not everyone has the chance to have this education. Most people still struggle to go but at last will be dropped out of school because of school fees issues by right education or a university owned by the government of a state or the once owned by the federal government are not supposed to be that expensive to the extent that a common man won't feel comfortable to go into it or won't even be able to have it.
Not talking of the private ones owned by an individual when the government are not helping matters concerning these fees how do you want a private owned university to be affordable by right the government universities are supposed to be well furnished than the private but things are going otherwise. Most universities these days no longer care about the knowledge all they want is high fees before you enter it's another problem of clearance fee and others. Every year school fees increases.
Let's take a look at the top 10 most expensive universities in Nigeria, you see the fees but you go for it you notice it's more than what you have seen.

I don’t blame those who feel this way, the Nigeria educational system is giving them more reason to believe that school is scam. Our leaders no longer invest into our educational system, they rather spend the money on materialistic things. It only in Nigeria where a Senator receives more pay than a professor, a professor who has the ability of impacting thousands of students. To me these are the people to be taken most care of but it the other way round in this region.
Even in our low reform state in our educational system, the youth are still very brilliant this why we exile better In other countries. The government need to do better in their education sector, because we have very bright and intelligent young people in the country who are just looking for who will groom them well. We pray to have good leadership who will take our interests to heart and see the future in the young generation.
