NASU, CONUA, NAPTAN to FG: You can't scrap ‘irrelevant courses’ in varsities

The federal government announced plans to phase out certain courses deemed irrelevant to the country's economic future, particularly in social sciences. Education Minister Tunji Alausa warned students against taking loans for courses that will not provide job opportunities. Stakeholders, including CONUA, NASU, and NAPTAN, criticized this decision, stating it could harm the educational system. The minister emphasized the need to align university education with market demands and global trends.
