Delivering the convocation lecture entitled “Early church fathers as a Panacea for Sustainable Development in Nigeria”, a renowned educationist and Registrar of the Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi, Dr. John Ujo David decried the commercialization of education in Nigeria.

Expressing his displeasure over the development, Prof. David berated the current situation in the education sector in the country.

While observing that the value of education is gradually being debased due to the alleged commercialization of education today, the don noted that “gradually and steadily, the erstwhile sound missionary schools are giving way to commercialized and unaffordable schools or miracle centres.”

He condemned the high tuition of many of the faith-based tertiary institutions in the country.

His words: “It is unbelievable that a church member’s child cannot attend a training centred up with the proceeds of offerings and tithes which the members also made contributions to, owing to the man’s indigence.

“To this, we ask where lies the service-oriented content in church vision,” he asked rhetorically.

He further stated that the university has today become a breeding ground for cultism, banditry, kidnapping, and violent lifestyles, rather than being the centre of academic excellence that it was originally designed to be.

According to him, the ugly situation in the university system has hitherto made the landscape incipient of chaos, indecency, violence, instability, and decay.

He regretted that reading culture which is supposed to be the centerpiece of the university has been eroded, thereby resulting in serious poor academic performances.

While identifying technology as one of the reasons behind the bad behaviour of many students in tertiary institutions, he said that the use of Android phones and iPhones contributed to menace in the university.
