It has always been an unsustainable exercise and with the incessant strike actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities and other non-academic staff unions, the educational system was facing a crisis.
Imagine an undergraduate spending seven to eight years for a four-year programme? The era when you an undergraduate knew when he or she would graduate was long gone. Students gain admission into public universities these days unaware of when they will graduate. There is so much uncertainty nowadays. I think kudos should be given to the current administration for wisely unburdening itself from this money-gulping and unproductive enterprise.
Another area that needs reforming and which I would like this administration to focus on is the running of the presidential system of governance . This was fostered on the Nigerian polity, sometime ago by a megalomaniac. It is horrendously wasteful, as there is so much duplication; which in the end results in little overall progress developmentally and socially.
