A member of the 1983 set of the university’s faculty of Law, the speaker, added that the foundations of Nigeria’s educational system “are still rooted in a different age and designed to meet the social, economic and labour demands of a different societal and economic model.”The guest lecturer also spoke on the challenges of funding education in Nigeria, insisting that the current model that allows institutions to live on subventions from the government is not sustainable.

Mr Gbajabiamila explained how the House of Representatives hopes to intervene through a legislative framework for funding tertiary education through student loans.
