Isah tells education minister to probe corr¥ption, ‘s£x for grades’, mismanagement in Nigerian universities

The Public affairs analyst, Atiku Abubakar Isah, has called on the Minister of Education to investigate the rampant issues in many Nigerian universities, including practices such as “sex for grades,” victimization of students, and widespread corruption.

Isah alleged that numerous universities fail to account for the funds they generate from students, despite the significant tuition fees collected.

He further claimed that many university professors and senior lecturers are involved in corrupt activities, which often leads to their appearances at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at the end of their tenure.

He made these statements during an interview with Arise News TV on Friday, 15th of November.

He said:

“The professors and the senior lecturers in most Nigeria universities today,are those that are highly corrupt.

“And you can see that, in all universities, students pay tuition fees, and the government pays the lecturers, yet most universities cannot account for most of the money they generate from students.

“Not only that, when you look at the lecturers, the two major vices that are about to destroy the entire country on the campuses of Nigerian universities today are the victimisation of students and sexual molestation of students.

“When you talk about the corruption, which most vice-chancellors are found wanting, you can see that in most cases after their tenure, they are guests at the EFCC.

“But the most worrisome for me is the sex for grade, you have so many lecturers that have been caught and so many that have not been investigated.

“And on this, I want to call the attention of the minister for education.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
