Many Nigerians who travel overseas in search for foreign degrees end up attending substandard institutions.
The Vice ChancellorUniversity of Abuja(UNIABUJA), Prof. Michael Adikwu, said this in a recent interview, adding that such institutions are no better than secondary schools in Nigeria.
"Nigerians just want to travel abroad for studies, most of the schools they attend are not better that our secondary schools here," he said in aDaily Trustinterview.
He noted that having acquired foreign degrees, these graduates may still not be able to pass Nigerian examinations.
"And when they come back if they are subjected to exams of Nigerian education standard only few of them will pass the exam.
"So what standard are we talking about?"
Prof. Adikwu also observed that Nigeria's drive to improve access to tertiary education must not be at the expense of quality.
