Poor funding for Universities
• With the terrible state of infrastructure on our
  campuses, no university in the federation
  received a capital vote of up to N500million
  Naira,
• the highest capital votes in the sector are
  allocated to the National Library and the
  Federal Ministry of Education (Main) with
  N6billion and N7.2billion respectively.

Funding of Universities
• With a population of about 40,000 or more
  full time students per university, the Education
  sector budget needs to free up funds from
  welfare packages, sitting allowances and
  International travels across the MDAs to fund
  universities properly.

• Revenues of Universities do not form part of
  the budget
Recommendations
• Allocations for celebrations are enormous and
  repeated throughout most MDAs, budget cuts
  could be made there to fund other Institutions ie
  Computer Professional Council with zero capital
  budget allocation.
•
• Agencies should understand the import of
  meeting the needs of the disadvantaged such as
  the Mass Literacy Commission and Nomadic
  Education and vote less on celebrations.
•
Recommendations
• The Government should focus on getting all schools
  and teachers IT compliant; this will help in
  transparency, record keeping and job creation.

• Welfare packages, honorarium/sitting allowances and
  refreshments are areas that can absorb budget cuts to
  free up money for capital projects

• MDAs including Universities should be made to
  account for their internally generated funds, such
  funds should then be properly budgeted for to ensure
  transparency and accountability in the system

  • 15. Funding of Universities • With a population of about 40,000 or more full time students per university, the Education sector budget needs to free up funds from welfare packages, sitting allowances and International travels across the MDAs to fund universities properly. • Revenues of Universities do not form part of the budget
  • 16. Recommendations • Allocations for celebrations are enormous and repeated throughout most MDAs, budget cuts could be made there to fund other Institutions ie Computer Professional Council with zero capital budget allocation. • • Agencies should understand the import of meeting the needs of the disadvantaged such as the Mass Literacy Commission and Nomadic Education and vote less on celebrations. •
  • 17. Recommendations • The Government should focus on getting all schools and teachers IT compliant; this will help in transparency, record keeping and job creation. • Welfare packages, honorarium/sitting allowances and refreshments are areas that can absorb budget cuts to free up money for capital projects • MDAs including Universities should be made to account for their internally generated funds, such funds should then be properly budgeted for to ensure transparency and accountability in the system
