In September, the National Universities Commission (NUC) had said some states sponsor students to sub-standard universities and Ukraine was one of the countries mentioned.
Isoh said, “One thing I will like to say about education in this place, and this is something we intend to package in a report to government to see how this can be propagated back home - I do not think that Nigerians get the best when it comes to studying in this place in the English language.”
Isoh said the lure for most parents is the low cost of tuition which is about $3,000 for a course that could cost up to $20,000 in the United States or Canada. But despite this advantage he said, “The people who teach them in English language are natives of this country who are also not very proficient in the language.” Isoh who also commented on universities offering medical courses said, “We don’t think that Nigerian medical doctors trained in English speaking universities here get the best.
But those who endeavour to learn the language and then attend lectures with the natives certainly get better trained.” He said his best advice to parents would be to get the children to study the local language first to get the best of their education system.
Executive Secretary of NUC Professor Julius Okojie also made reference to a university in Ukraine where there are over 800 medical students and some of the students do not have the qualification in basic sciences.

The best is for them to get our educational sys up to standard,so many families have pumped huge amt of money to other countries.
Blame it on 100% Negligence in Nigerian Educational sys
But why do people take their children to schools they do have details of
Na wa o! ds desperation is not needed,who will prefer to go Ukrain sch.to Canadian or American? msh! it does not make sense
Blame the govt, citizens are desperate any place but Nigeria
Some of the students are not after English language,just to get a degree and move on
Half of Nigerian students want better living,so the move to where is easier for visa access
I am one of those people who studied in Ghana,some of these UK,American,Canadian visas are NOT easy to get even when you have all d creditials,right now,im in USA with my hubby after i graduation it was alot easier to locate to US. probably if i was in Nigeria ds wld not have happened bc of all d protocol all in d name of obtaining visa.
Its is always better to know details of schs before applying
Parents that take their children to schools they do not have details of is a sign of bad parenting
