Getting an education in Nigeria?

Universities in Nigeria appear to be in crisis and many of you have been emailing us, asking to Have Your Say .

Some students spend seven years studying for a four-year degree

Incessant strikes by lecturers are threatening the survival and standard of tertiary education - the most recent lasted four months until an agreement was reached to suspend the action for a two-week period.

But a decision will be made next week on whether the strike action should resume.

Since the universities closed their doors, students, parents and even the government itself have been counting their losses.

Whether you are a lecturer or a student, or were one, or if you are a parent of a student, we want to hear from you.

How are you affected by the strike action? Do you worry that standards are falling? How long does it take to complete a degree? Is finding work as a graduate given? Is it better to travel abroad to study? Do you know of any students or university employees turning to crime to pay for their fees or subsidise their incomes? What should be done for Nigeria's universities? Send us your stories, using the postform below.
