  • University Education Finance and Cost Sharing in Nigeria: Considerations for Policy Direction
    0 University Education Finance and Cost Sharing in Nigeria: Considerations for Policy Direction 1Maruff A. Oladejo, 2Gbolagade M. Olowo, & 3Tajudeen A. Azees 1Department of Educational Management, University of Lagos, Akoka, 2Department of Educational Foundations, Federal College of Education (Sp), Oyo 3Department of Curriculum & Instructions, Emmanuel Alayande College of Education, Oyo 0 1 Abstract Higher education in general and university education in particular is an educational investment which brings with it, economic returns both for individuals and society. Hence, its proper funding towards the attainment of its lofty goals should be the collective responsibility of every stakeholders. This paper therefore discussed university education finance and cost sharing in Nigeria. The concepts of higher education and higher education finance were examined, followed by the philosophical and the perspectives of university education in Nigeria. The initiative of private funding of education vis-à-vis Tertiary Education Trust Fund (Tetfund) was brought to the fore. The paper further examined cost structure and sharing in Nigerian university system. It specifically described cost sharing as a shift in the burden of higher education costs from being borne exclusively or predominately by government, or taxpayers, to being shared with parents and students. Findings showed that Tetfund does not really provide for students directly. As regards students in private universities in Nigeria, and that private sector has never been involved in funding private universities. It was recommended among others that there is the need to re-engineer policies that will ensure effective financial accountability to prevent fiscal failure in Nigerian higher educational institutions, as well as policies which will ensure more effective community and individual participation such that government will be able to relinquish responsibility for maintaining large parts of the education system.

Twelve groups (3 control and 9 test groups) of 6 animals each were daily exposed to 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg b.w doses of petroleum ether extract of marijuana for 4, 8 and 12 weeks. The expressions of the gene were obtained using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) while electrolytes concentrations were determined. An upregulation of over 90% was observed in the expression of HTR3A after exposure to the highest dose throughout the exposure period. There was significant increase in the plasma potassium concentration at all doses while there was a decrease in the brain only at 50 mg/kg dose throughout the exposure period. Sodium concentration in the brain was not affected by the doses over the period of exposure but plasma concentration decreased significantly.

  • 2Nd Convocation at Chrisland University, Abeokuta
    2nd Convocation at Chrisland University, Abeokuta By Babafemi A. Badejo, Ph.D I spent last night at Abeokuta, the capital of my state in Nigeria. By the archaic constitution of Nigeria, I am from Ogun state, Nigeria, in spite of the fact that I have been a resident of Lagos, Lagos state, since 1973 when I left Ijebu-Ode Grammar School and became an undergraduate at the University of Lagos. Ever since, I have been a resident of Lagos, but Nigeria recognizes state of origin. So, myself and my offsprings will always have to fill Ogun state until the archaic 1999 constitution is dumped or amended progressively. However, I was not in my state of origin for sanguinal reasons. I was invited to the 2nd Convocation dinner and the convocation itself today, November 26, 2020 of Chrisland University, Abeokuta, Nigeria. This young but dynamic University was started by a visionary Nigerian, who for 43 years had gradually built from providing nursery, primary and secondary education before adding Chrisland University. I am very proud of 80-year-old, High Chief Dr. (Mrs.) Winifred Adefolahan Awosika who through the dint of hardwork has put together a world class University. Chrisland University is a very compact citadel on an undulating high ground of neat greenry. It is the temporary site as the permanent just received physical planning approval from Ogun state. The dinner, yesterday was chaired by Chief Alaba Lawson, the immediate past president of NACCIMA. I was accompanied by my childhood friend Ambassador Julius Sodipe, who retired into Abeokuta and his wife.

Male Wistar rats weighing between 90 g ± 100 g were treated with graded doses of petroleum ether extract of C. sativa (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg body weight) orally. The exposure was monitored at 4, 8, and 12 weeks for each of the doses employed, after which the brain was removed. The gene expressions were determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Cannabis considerably (p < 0.05) reduced the relative expression of MAOB at 4 weeks. At 8 weeks, cannabis upregulated the relative expression of the MAOB gene by 60%. Following 12 weeks of exposure to the 50mg/kg body weight dose of C.
