I pay my American lecturers one million dollars per month — Atiku

American lecturers at the American University of Nigeria, owned by the former vice-president and now presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar, earn one million dollars per month.
This was disclosed by Abubakar, at the second National Joint Education Stakeholders Action Coalition held in Abuja on Thursday.
According to him under the salary was part of the negotiations that he had with an American university in Washington D.C in the United States before it allowed the lecturers to come to Nigeria.
Atiku said, “Today I do not derive one kobo from all the investments I have made in education. Rather, in the university I still continue to pay the American lecturers one million dollars every month because the school fees that they are charging are not even enough to fuel the generators that they are running because the university was built to American standard. Because I have a special agreement with the American university in Washington, managing the university and everything I do must conform to American standard.”

I was highly saddened when I read this disgraceful speech. I a country where people go to bed on empty stomach that somebody pays im dolars per a month to American lecturesers. Since there school fees are not up to fuel the generator of the university, from where did Atiku get the money he pays??

He  established this university when he was the vice president, why did he not fix the power problem, instead collected a bribe to destabilise Nigerian power sys (confirmed Harributon bribery indictment)

The highest professor salary scale in Harvard University London is $206, 000

Is very painful
