The Senior Pastor and Founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Worldwide, Mathew Ashimolowo, has said that education should not be free on Friday, 13th of October, 2023.
He said, “One of the biggest challenges we have in Nigeria is that we have failed to let our young people know how expensive education is.”
“We are also lying to our kids in states and federal universities that they are paying school fees when they are not. They are not paying school fees. If a person read medicine in the College of Medicine, Idi-Araba, and paid N160,000, I don’t know how much they paid, which is equivalent to 160 pounds and somebody else read medicine in a British university and paid 32,000 pounds and they read the same course.” Ashimolowo further said.
"My sons had the privilege of me paying their university school fees because I have to pay. But their wives and their parents couldn’t afford it, so, my son’s wives went to borrow from the bank and for the next 10 years, Mrs. Ashimolowos will be paying their school fees. It was not until three years ago that Barack Obama finished paying his school fees. We are not telling ourselves some truth in this nation and these kids will go and block the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
“I know that somebody will like to hit me tomorrow for saying this. When they told them they couldn’t pay N160,000 anymore, they had to pay N300,000, which is 300 pounds how can you use 300 pounds to learn how to give an injection and another person spent 32,000 pounds, who will I prefer to inject me?” he added.
