Out of the many different structures of pay dispersed across professions, the salary of an assistant lecturer in Nigeria is not in any way an exception. Even as Nigeria is known to be kind of popular with the many constructions of schools and academic institutes she currently accommodates, we may as well conclude to consider the country as a system which takes pride in education and the hospitality afforded its academics or that is expected of them to enjoy.
But the question is, can the country really afford the very inflated number of schools and the higher numbers of lecturers it needs to employ across its states? The reason is obvious. Structurally, the government has majority control of university education. Tertiary education in Nigeria consists of Universities (Public and Private), Polytechnics, Monotechnic, and Colleges of education.
