Shocking New Revelation Over Tuition Fees In Nigerian Universities And Salary Prospects

A recent tweet has ignited a heated debate on social media over the exorbitant tuition fees charged by universities in Nigeria and the bleak job prospects awaiting graduates in the country’s workforce.

The Twitter user, @drpenking, raised eyebrows with his revelation about the staggering cost of education at Afe Babalola University in Ado Ekiti, particularly for nursing students as an example of the exorbitant tuition fees charged by private universities in Nigeria.

According to the post, nursing students at ABUAD are required to pay between 3 to 4 million naira annually in tuition fees, amounting to a total of 20 million naira over the five-year course duration.

The post went further to draw attention to the disparity between the hefty tuition fees and the relatively low salaries earned by nurses upon graduation. Citing the example of nurses employed at Afe Babalola University Teaching Hospital, the user pointed out that despite the significant financial investment in their education, nurses receive meager salaries of 60,000 naira per month.

This revelation of the exorbitant tuition fees charged by private universities prompted widespread condemnation from netizens who echoed the sentiment that the cost of education in Nigeria far outweighs the economic returns. Many shared personal anecdotes of struggling to find employment in their chosen fields despite obtaining expensive degrees.

One commenter lamented the lack of job opportunities for social workers in Nigeria, stating the broader issue of underemployment and unemployment plaguing the country’s labor market.

The contrast between the tuition fees charged by the universities and the compensation in the workplace adds to the dynamics of the japa syndrome that is making many graduates leave Nigeria for better prospects abroad.
