“The implication is that Nigerians should know that this leadership does not believe in public funded education. Nigerians should support the struggle for the government to take education as a core investment upon which this country will be liberated. It is not the children of the rich that will solve the problems of Nigeria but the children of the poor and the tool they need is quality education.”

Aremu advised Mrs. Buhari to influence her husband’s policies to immortalize himself by revitalizing public-funded education.

His words: “I don’t think that she is serious. We already have proliferation of universities and they are not taken care of. Since they are policymakers, they will now formulate policies that will ground public universities for their interest to thrive. I thought we have actually left that era. I could remember that Obasanjo established Bells and we condemned it”.

“Atiku established his own as former Vice President. If you have private interest, you should not hold public office. If you have interest in anything private thing, I think it is proper to actually leave the public space for those who are eager to serve the masses. How many people can afford the existing private universities in the country?”

“If you want to help education, then increase the capacity of the existing ones. When you are holding a public office, don’t establish a private concern. She should wait until Buhari is completely out of office before thinking of bringing a private university in whatever name.”
