The government cannot say it does not have money to fund universities. Money is now coming in. It said it now has 1.9 trillion, and that amount is unprecedented for as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/f5284f27dda445ec8ee20c33c962a149\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There has to be a way to allocate these resources. If a government says it cannot fund school, then what does it exist for? The students loan is not well-structured and what happens until people can access it? Students are expected to resume in September, and the loans won\u2019t be available until maybe after six months or one year. So, just like the removal of fuel subsidy, things ought to have been put in place before removing it so that people will not feel it. Now, subsidy has been removed and people are dying. And even on the issue of palliative, we are still talking grammar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE: YouTube (Forward video to 7:00).<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: FranklySpeaking123 (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
