The Nigerian government’s shock moratorium on new tertiary institutions dominated political and education circles, with Minister Tunji Alausa stressing quality over quantity after reports revealed some universities have more staff than students.
The story triggered fierce debates and trended on #NigerianEducation, X, and Facebook parent groups.
Tunji Alausa, Minister of Education said:
“The pressing issue in Nigeria’s education sector is not about accessing federal tertiary institutions, but rather the problem of having too many institutions.”
