GATS and higher education in Nigeria: a preliminary investigation of the indicative patterns of consumption abroad by Nigerians
(2010) Olaniyan, O. A.; Bankole, S.; Oyeranti, O. A.
This article presents some preliminary evidence on the existence and magnitude of consumption abroad and the type of trade in higher education, using a combination of advertisement survey data by Nigerians during 2001 -2006 and secondary data on Nigerians enrolled in universities outside the country. We found that higher education consumption abroad is increasing without explicit regulation by Nigeria’s regulatory bodies. The findings also point to the development of a market for local recruiting agencies and the need for regulation not only for quality control but also to avoid collusion between local students recruiting agencies, foreign higher education providers and foreign embassies. The study therefore proposes the setting up of a technical committee to advise on issues concerning negotiations on higher education during the WTO rounds and also provide a clear framework on the process and dynamics of the trade for the benefit of the citizens and the country.

The haemocytometric changes and possible interplay with duration of hospital stay, gender and age in Nigerians with COVID-19 were determined in this study. Routine haemocytometry was evaluated using a standard method and thereafter, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR); a marker of inflammation was calculated. Neutrophil percentage, total white blood cell (WBC) count and NLR were significantly higher while lymphocyte percentage was significantly lower in patients with COVID-19 compared with the controls. In females with COVID-19, neutrophil percentage was significantly higher compared with the males. Considering length of hospital stay, monocyte percentage was significantly higher in patients who spent more than 10 days on admission compared with those with 10 or fewer days of admission. At discharge, the proportion of patients with monocyte percentage above the reference range was significantly lower compared with baseline. Also, monocyte percentage in COVID-19 patients had significant positive correlation with days on admission. Alteration in haemocytometry worsens with increasing age as percentages of monocyte and neutrophil, NLR and WBC count were significantly higher while the lymphocyte percentage was significantly lower in patients aged 40 years and above compared with younger patients. Also, age had significant positive correlation with percentages of monocyte and neutrophil, NLR and WBC count but a significant negative correlation with lymphocyte percentage. Haemocytometric changes and inflammation in COVID-19 patients increase with age. Also, monocyte count could be an indicator of longer hospital stay and its reduction might be an indicator of recovery from the disease.
