Also Read: 2015 JAMB Direct Entry Registration: Instructions & Guidelines

WARNING: Unfortunately from experience, many candidates wait till the last minute before applying for change of course or school or both. Doing change of institution late has untold effects, if you apply when the new school you want have downloaded their application data from JAMB, your detail will not be submitted and you will NOT be allowed to write Post JAMB there even after your change of course is successful. To avoid this frustration, do not wait for closing date. Pay while it is still on; infact it is safer to be among the first to do it!

Jonathan Says Nigerian Varsities Will Rank Among Global Best In Next 4 Years

0

We are working seriously to make Nigerian Universities rank among the best in the world in the next four years – Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

President Goodluck Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed optimism that Nigerian universities would rank among the best in the world in the next four years, as a result of the ongoing  transformation of  the education system.
Jonathan, who featured in the Presidential Debate organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG) on Sunday in Abuja, said that Nigerian universities had been equipped to compete with their foreign counterparts.

Jonathan said that education was a responsibility of both states and the federal governments, adding that the present administration gives support to the  states through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).

“We all feel bad that no Nigerian university was ranked but we are working seriously to change the trend.
“We have equipped most of our universities through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).
“We are talking about infrastructure that has failed over the years but with the way we are going, in the next four years our universities will compete with other universities across the world.
Also speaking, Mr Godson Okoye, the presidential candidate of United Democratic Party, decried the situation where people who had benefited from free education turned education to business.
“We must re-engineer education right from nursery schools; teachers training colleges must be revisited,’’ he said.

Prof. Oluremi Sonaiya, the presidential candidate of KOWA party, said the whole focus should not be on formal education but a broad-based education.
“Ignorance is one of the ills; KOWA will address formal and informal education; curriculum should be reviewed.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that five political parties-PDP, NCP, UPP, KOWA and UDP participated in the second session of the debate.(NAN)
