    They Can fund them till they find somone who is willing to buy this universities, they can stop funding, or at least fund a minimal percent maybe for the infrasctructure since its a federal uiversity. This will be a good outcome, they will no longer be strike again. But the disadvantage is that it will be expensive for the common man in Nigeria. Except they can come out wiith scholarship, grants, Loans from the government. This will be a good idea, becos when they finish (Nigerian Students) , they can work and pay monthly. Bring in revenue for the govt. But the main pirority right now is jobs for the graduates ,and the basic necesity a govt suppose to provide for its people. (State universities are still funded by state government in United States of America, some in some percentage some in full).

    Why then would we need a government if they don't contribute to education? What can they take responsibility for?
