The Nigerian senate has called on the Federal Government to increase budgetary allocation to federal universities in the 2025 budget to take care of the teething problems of Nigerian universities.
The lawmakers also resolved to mandate the relevant committee to mediate with the ministers of finance, education and other relevant ministries or immediately take steps to checkmate the increasing spate of brain drain in the country.
This resolution is coming after a lawmaker, Anthony Okorie raised the alarm in a motion, over the growing challenge of brain drain and in consequence, the significant outflow of highly educated professionals in Nigeria, especially in the academia, in the quest for better working conditions, exacerbating the skill gap in the workforce of the country. Okorie also expressed concern over the poor remunerations and working conditions of Nigerian lecturers.
