Former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called for a significant expansion of Nigeria's university system, citing Indonesia as a model. Obi, after visiting Indonesia, highlighted the country's commitment to education, with over 4,000 universities serving 50 million pupils and a 99% school enrollment rate. He emphasized the need for Nigeria to prioritize learning and development, suggesting a minimum of 1,000 universities to cater to its population.
The former governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party, Peter Obi has said that Nigeria needs at least 1,000 universities to ensure quality education.
According to Obi, Indonesia’s system of education serves about 50 million pupils at the basic education level with over three million teachers. “As we all know, the more educated a country is, the more developed it becomes. At the tertiary level, Indonesia has over 4,000 universities, while Nigeria has less than 10% of that—despite having a population that is about 80% of Indonesia’s. In addition, he met with Indonesia’s minister of health Budi Gunadi and with the team at the Ministry of MSMEs.
