Nigerians spend about two billion dollars yearly on education abroad, Chairman, Senate Committee on Tertiary Education and TETFund, Senator Binta Garba said yesterday. She said the sum was being used to service the fees of elite’s children, who crave for foreign education.
The senator, who spoke at the inauguration of new governing board of twelve Federal universities in Abuja, described the trend as embarrassing, but noted that such situation could be stopped if Nigerians partner to strengthen the country’s weak educational structures.
