The Education for All (EFA) No 1 Goal is the "comprehensive early childhood care and education especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children". To what extent is the programme receiving government financial support to be able to achieve the policy statement? This study used ex-post facto design, using the existing data on Education Sector Analysis Unit (ESA), Federal Ministry of Education (FME). Miscellaneous items such as school lunch and transportation of the children constitutes 48.30% of the total cost, and are such are the main determinants of unit cost of education. Majority of Nigerians are living on less than N160 ($1) a day. This depicts how the majority are unable to have access to quality pre-school education to lay a solid foundation for life-long learning. The study concludes by recommending cost effective strategies that will guarantee wider access to pre-school education in order to achieve the policy statement.

This is one of the adverse effects of the autonomy given to higher education management team. This shift that has occurred in Nigeria over the past decade has led to dramatic cuts in federal and state support for higher education. This cut, combined with rising costs of running the schools, has led to huge tuition increases for students. These skyrocketing costs have reduced access to our universities. University education is now in favour of the rich. The design used for the study is a random sampling technique. There are 78 federal and state universities in Nigeria. The population for the study consisted of fourteen (14) Universities, selected from the six (6) geo-political zones in Nigeria. Data were collected through the universities e-portal data base. Majority of Nigerians are living on less than N160 ($1) a day. This depicts how the majority are both in well-being and with regards to their access to quality education. We conclude by recommend cost effective strategies that will guarantee wider access to education.
