FW: A Public Invitition to Prof. Okey Iheduru {Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - UI'S RETREAT FOR THE MANAGEMENT TEAM AND KEY OFFICERS OF THE INSTITUTION

Thank you OI for an incisive and measured response to BA's invitation to you.

Some Nigerians have been so infected by the ethnicity germ that they are often incapable of seeing any  merit or positive value in objective comment or criticism. For them, all criticism is negative and drenched in malice. Their disposition should however not be allowed to discourage important forthright conversations.

My considered thought is that you have once again done UI and other Nigerian universities a great and urgent favor by calling attention to the incest-ridden staffing culture of their institution. Your suggestion of a "Retreat on Diversity" should be taken seriously by the powers that be at UI and other universities in Nigeria. It will help too that Vice Chancellors especially are not usually routinely products of "incest", but genuine outsiders who are more likely to broaden/change perspectives, challenge orthodoxy and some  shared mindsets, discourage tunnel vision, and expand the choice set of possible solutions to enduring challenges and potential problems. There are advantages for academic institutions in cross breeding executive personnel and faculty. The advantages are one reason for the enduring success and greatness of many U.S. universities as exemplary centers of enquiry, discovery, learning, and teaching. How often has UI or any other Nigerian public university actively searched for and recruited/hired a true non-insider quality faculty/vice chancellor?

Then again every public university in Nigeria's has a University Council. That there are issues with how the councils' members are appointed is no excuse for each council, once constituted, not to pay attention and be faithful to her duties and important role.

You describe UI as Nigeria's premier university. I am sorry she is not. The UNN is. The UNN was set up from the outset as a degree awarding university while UI remained a college of the University of London (UL) which continued to awarded UL degrees to qualifying UI students. This is a verifiable historical fact that does not detract from UI's greatness.

I was about to respond to VC Aluko's "public invitation" for me to come to Otuoke back on Friday, October 9th when my mobile phone rang. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Prof. Aluko himself was on the line. Like the true activist he is, he had decided to "track" me down to the Valley of the Sun, Arizona, USA. It was an interesting and friendly 1 hour 6 minutes chat on a wide range of issues, including his invitation to me to come work with him at the Federal University, Otuoke. Unfortunately, due to time constraints I was unable to respond to his invite until now. Given the public nature of Aluko's invitation, I feel it's appropriate for me to report back to the Forum some of the discussions I had with the indomitable Vice Chancellor, and also respond to some of the reactions that have followed his posting.

 

First, I thanked VC Aluko for what I sensed was a Greek Gift, but he protested and said that he truly meant it. I gave me him the benefit of the doubt, but I was noncommittal as we delved into other issues. I did mention, however, that I have in the recent past had to turn down offers of appointment in Nigeria as Provost of a tertiary institution, Director of Academic Planning at two universities, one or two senior policy-level positions in government and in the private sector, all for personal reasons. I also told the VC that although I appreciated his generosity (again, granted that he meant it), his offer (which he crafted to make it sound so enticing) did not even come close to the perquisites of office made available to me during my recent two-year sojourn (2011-2013) in Nigeria; during the summer of 2014 I spent in Nigeria; let alone in the longer-term employment offers I regrettably had to turn down. For me, it's never been about what's in it for me. Like you, the reader, I know my current limitations and preferences, but I'm sure they could change with time. And so, I've not closed the door on going to FU Otuoke or to any other institution in Nigeria, including Uinbadan, that genuinely believes I might be useful to them. My ultimate dream job, though, is to one day return to my village to run an early childhood education school.

 

Secondly, I told Prof. Aluko that it was incorrect to suggest or believe that I merely jet in and out of Nigeria only to "criticize" the Nigerian university system from my foreign location. I shall return to the issue of "criticism" of higher education in Nigeria shortly, but I say this because it looks like VC Aluko has also bought into the widespread misperception that what Diaspora Nigerians do is fly in and out and rant about the homeland from "the comfort" of their foreign locations. Given that my friend and classmate at UNN (Political Science, 1983), Nkolika Obianyo at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka and the University of Ibadan PRO and his alter ego seem to have drawn similar erroneous conclusions, it's important that I try to disabuse the minds of fellow Forum members on this matter, even if I risk being misunderstood as engaging in self-promotion. Nothing could be farther from the truth, just as what I'm about to write (limited to only the past three years) is not a unique Diaspora experience. 

 

Since September 2011, I've devoted a significant portion of each of my waking hours doing the best I can and, at times, doing much better than some colleagues on the ground there in Nigeria. For instance, for two years I was a member of a committee that worked to transform the National Defense College (NDC,formerly Nigerian War College) into a free-standing postgraduate defense university. I revamped the institution's curriculum (including changing the current course Blocks into the course system with appropriate credit hours) in alignment with the NUC standards, just as I (with another Diaspora Nigerian) developed the first-ever transcript system for Participants' (students) academic record in the College. Hitherto, the graduates of the NDC (mainly Army colonels or equivalent ranks in the Air Force and Navy) received only a certificate of completion and nothing else to show for the serious master's degree-level work they did at the NDC. From August 2014 onward, they're given a transcript of their academic record on graduation day, and they can now transfer some of their credits towards graduate degrees in other universities in Nigeria and elsewhere. There were at least six Nigeria-based PhDs (including one professor) on the campus when I arrived at NDC in 2011. The changes wouldn't have occurred but for the Deputy Commandant and Director of Studies at the time, a Major General, who had studied for higher degrees at the US Army War College, Carlisle, PA and at the National Defense University, Washington, DC and understood and advocated the true meaning of "global best practices."

 

Since January 2014, I've been assisting the authorities of the Nigerian Defense Academy (NDA), Kaduna to re-position the academy in line with its aspirational peers around the world. I've produced blueprints for a new baccalaureate program in Military Science and Interdisciplinary Studies. The entire academy curriculum is being revamped to refocus the NDA to reflect its military mission and to serve its primary constituency. Currently, there is no difference between NDA's academic curriculum and what obtains in any conventional university in Nigeria, while most courses or majors have little or no military content. Based on my work, the School of Postgraduate Studies (founded in 2005) has been re-named School of Graduate and Advanced Military Studies. New centers (e.g., Center for the Studies of Leadership and Complex Military Operations) and programs in leadership development for cadets and a Center for Teaching and Learning (targeting the Nigerian military's over 128 teaching schools/institutions) should soon be established. Additionally, the work I'm still doing in program development should lead to the creation of endowed chairs and endowed professorships, as well as creation of a truly 21st-century alumni and development (grantsmanship and fundraising) office in the shortest possible time. 

 

Perhaps, the most immediately impactful work I've done for Nigeria over the past three years concerns the vexing issue of training of female combatant cadets at the Nigerian Defense Academy introduced in 2010. There is tremendous opposition in the military hierarchy to training of female cadets as COMBATANT cadets who will eventually be commissioned COMBATANT OFFICERS in the Armed Forces of Nigeria (NDA already trains mostly female tertiary institutions' graduates as officer cadets for Direct Short Service Commission and Direct Service Commission but for deployment in non-combat corps units, e.g, Medical, Education, etc.). If our tactical-level commanders (Lieutenants, Captains and Majors) would run away from, or not engage, rag-tag Boko Haram insurgents, what would happen when the commanders are women--especially if their Biological cycle intrudes? Indeed, some of these male "trophy officers" clearly didn't join the armed forces to fight, but to satisfy their elite parents' pride -- brother is an engineer; sister is a doctor; so it'll be nice to have an officer in the family, just in case there's a coup and military rule returns! 

 

From the usual 30 (out of about 180 intakes per course), the number for female admits for 2014-2015 dropped to 20. At a point during the Armed Forces Selection Board meeting from July 5th-August 15th this year, there were fears that no females would be admitted at all for the 66 Regular Course. Ironically, since 2010, these female cadets (dubbed "President Jonathan's Queens" by the media) have been taking the 1st to 10th positions in each Course before their male colleagues start getting into the academic ring at NDA--not physical training. The top two cadets every year after Year One proceed to the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, New York to finish their studies/training and commissioning as 2nd Lt.--last year's duo were both females and that could happen again this year. Female cadets are also known to have won "the best gunner" awards as part of their military training, etc. at NDA, as well as at the regular recruitment training Depot in Zaria for non-commissioned officers. 

 

My policy paper (proposal) of July 20th, 2014 to the NDA Governing Board may have saved the female combatant training program for now, just as that policy paper may have also set the ball rolling for the first-ever national policy on combat role for women in the Nigerian military. The NDA celebrated its Golden Jubilee in September this year. I'm happy to state that, although I was unable to attend, I played a very significant role in the success of the jubilee events all the way from Arizona. At least one United Kingdom-based member of this USA-Africa Dialogue listserv (whom I won't name) is familiar with, and can attest to, this narrative.

 

I'm also a member of the review committee for Nigeria's National Defense Policy (the committee has been moribund since the exit of Erelu Obada early this year as Minister of State for Defense and the Supervising Minister of Defense). The continued absence of this policy document has been implicated in the challenges the Nigerian military has faced in its recent asymmetrical, "new wars" engagements, including the Niger Delta militancy and the Boko Haram insurgency. 

 

Between January 2009 and December 2012, I wrote a highly acclaimed research-based weekly column (back cover page every Thursday) for Business Day--the biggest circulation business daily in West Africa--on political and economic policy matters. I have worked with the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industries (LCCI) and the National Association of Auto Mechanics on a number of policy matters, including the recent National Automotive Policy document of 2014. There are other official activities I'm still engaged in which time and prudence do not permit me to delve into in an already long narrative.  

 

It hasn't always been easy for me or my family living in two countries at the same time, as you can imagine. For two years, I joined the ranks of the 50 percent of men in Abuja who are "married bachelors". In addition to the challenges of what VC Aluko calls "BYOB" --bring your own babe--I had my 10-year old daughter with me in Nigeria in 2011-2012 (as the only way for me to go on sabbatical without further dumping on the most supportive and most patient woman God ever created, my Naija wife). My daughter and I had to juggle her education and social life with all my work in Nigeria, while the rest of the family were on the other side of the Atlantic. Upon her return to the USA in 2012 (following a medical misdiagnosis of a scary illness in Abuja), I resorted to baby-sitting and supervising her homework in the USA from Abuja via Skype every weekend. My wife's profession and work in corporate America kept her away from home on weekends, while the rest of the kids were away in the university. It all sounded strange and bizarre to my Nigerian male and especially female friends!

 

I went into this risk-filled self-disclosure in my conversation with VC Aluko to amplify the point that there are myriad ways we can each contribute to the development of our country, including in its higher education. In the 21st century, we don't necessary all have to be physically present in Nigeria "to contribute our own quotas." The frontiers of citizens' loyalty have so expanded that citizenship can nowadays be mutually shared by those in the homeland with those outside of it. Virtual citizenship and "migrant transnationalism" are no longer a novelty, while shared citizenship may actually enable the home-country to benefit from the best its nationals can offer from wherever they are domiciled. It would therefore be inaccurate to suggest that I'm either disconnected from Nigeria; or that I simply "jet in and out" of the country and only relish in criticizing its educational system.

 

I conceded to Prof. Aluko that my experiences are hardly the same as actually running a university in Nigeria. I made it clear--and I've already stated earlier--that I'm not sure I'm cut out or ready for such a responsibility right now. The VC and I further reminisced on the impossible challenges university administrators and staff/faculty face in Nigeria and the imperative of both transparency and a committed support staff for any successful administration. Besides, some folks may be better gifted at identifying problems and/or producing blueprints for their solution--or even being gadflies; but such people may be atrociously unsuitable for implementation or governing. There were a few surprising thoughts about the future I shared with VC Aluko that I hope convinced him that critics of official actions or policies are not necessarily enemies--he should know better, being an activist whose name was once conspicuously displayed on the Nigerian government's "WANTED LIST" at all immigration entry/exit points. Take it from me folks, if Aluko fails as VC, most of us Diaspora Nigerians will be in for a nasty future in Nigeria.

 

However, there is a difference between asking a fair question about official policy or actions and blind criticism (thanks to Ogugua Anunoby for his usual crisp analysis). The University of Ibadan's (UI) PRO's challenge for me to produce evidence that UI is worse than other federal universities in its lack of diversity unfortunately missed my higher expectation of Nigeria's premier university. What made UI great in the past was its diverse faculty, staff and students. 

 

Today, this is what you'll see at Ibadan:

In the Dept. of Educational Management, all but one of the 14 PhDs on the faculty obtained their doctorates from Ibadan. 

In Political Science, it's 15 UI PhDs out of 17; 

Sociology: 18 UI PhDs out of 19; 

Economics: 21 UI PhDs out of 27; 

Agricultural Economics: 15 UI PhDs out of 18; 

Food Technology: 7 UI PhDs out of 8; 

Medicine--Preventive & Primary Care: 7 UI MBBS/MPH out of 8; 

Environmental Health: 6 UI PhDs/MPH out of 7; 

Human Nutrition: 11 UI PhD/MSc out of 12; 

Child Health: all 8 faculty have UI MSc/PhDs; and 

Microbiology: 14 UI PhDs out of 15 doctorates. 

 

One of the few "diverse" departments is Chemistry where 9 of the 42 lecturers (including 3 MSc from UI) are non-UI PhDs. Surprisingly, one of them is a PhD from Bayero University, Kano--the only PhD from any university in northern Nigeria in all the departments I reviewed at Nigeria's premier university! 

 

Altogether (those departments I reviewed), there was only one PhD from Unilag, but NONE from OAU--Ife, UniIlorin, Uniben, ABU--Zaria, Maiduguri, Sokoto, Unijos, Port Harcourt or Unical; let alone The University of Nigeria, to stay with the 13 older universities. I did not bother with the ethnicity of the UI faculty (unfortunately, our names give us up in situations like this) because I didn't want to start another civil war. Yet, you wonder why I'm being vilified by UI's attack dogs for suggesting this culture of "group-think" falls significantly short of what might qualify as "global best practices" for a "21st-century university." 

 

Perhaps, a one or two-day retreat led by the very same officials who built this comfortable enclave over the years is the answer. I also acknowledge the difficulty in producing PhDs, or any graduate for that matter. However, someone must explain why it wouldn't make sense to try to consider the dangers of in-breeding in a university like UI in faculty recruitment. In some of the departments under review, PhD A supervised PhDs B and C who in-turn supervised PhDs D and E who supervised PhDs F and G who are currently supervising another cohort of PhDs. At times, it's one or two PhDs who produced the other half a dozen PhDs and retained them as "21st-century" academics who dare not challenge his Olympian erudition with as little as 10 Google Scholar citation counts (perhaps, self-citations). 

 

Unless you have not experienced first hand the tyranny among some members of our professoriate (thankfully, the UI retreat broached the taboo of treating students like human beings!), you'd not appreciate the enormous challenge a head of department (who's probably a 4th generation product of this medieval elite circulation culture) would have trying to push through change in her/his unit. How could she/he, for instance, know let alone tell the person at the top of the pecking order who started it all that "departmental journals" are NOT acceptable outlets for serious scholarship? And, you also wonder whether these positions IN A FEDERAL UNIVERSITY are ever advertised; or, are they simply filled through cronyism and godfatherism? As I acknowledged in my initial reaction to the news about the UI retreat, Ibadan is not alone in this; even many of the newly-created state and private universities are doing the same. Might it not be a case of the kid-goats learning how to eat the grass that causes acute bowel movement from watching Mother Goat? 

 

When issues like these are raised, especially by any one in the Diaspora, our compatriots in the homeland easily take refuge in irrelevant comparisons with "Europe and America" where there's no NEPA problem, blah! blah! blah! And I say, please don't bring America or Europe into this. None of the issues I've been accused of "criticizing" about Nigerian universities has anything to do with the absence of the supposed bed of roses I enjoy in America--from quality control (of teaching and scholarship productivity) to toilet facilities for students; over-grown lawns and footpaths; students' final year projects that nobody reads; how to teach 17-20 year-olds and set proper exam questions and mode of exams; mind-boggling lack of diversity; the wickedness of asking job applicants to submit 30 copies of their application packets; container loads of outdated and anachronistic cultures and traditions that were developed for a 200-student body that are still applied to 38,000 students, etc. 

 

And, then the biggest problem: ATTITUDE!!! It may interest you to note that the Nigerian military uses the "Turnitin" anti-plagiarism software at NDC, Abuja and at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji to minimize the problem of academic dishonesty among its officers. Will ASUU accept this innovation, starting with its members' publications? While residing in the same country that has insurmountable NEPA problem, I was able to teach four courses ONLINE to my students in America--a number of Diaspora academics who are currently in Nigeria are doing the same right now. Does it mean there's no electricity problem? Absolutely not.

 

It's not NEPA, bad roads, bad water, bad schools for kids, run-away inflation, "poor salary"; instead it's the neo-medieval ATTITUDE that is destroying so many universities in Nigeria: especially, seeking comfort and protection among folk that look, think and act like us, thereby in many cases murdering critical thinking and the ability to ask the "why not" questions; a neo-feudal and vassalage system which benefits, and therefore, irrational to break by members of the ethnic/clan volk. It would indeed be tragic if UI still does not appreciate its pride of place in Nigeria's educational journey and consequently try to be the adult in the house. The issue is not coming home "to help"; are we willing to listen and, possibly, help both sides change for the betterment of all of us?

 

There will obviously be another day to continue this conversation--and I sincerely apologize for making it too long. I strongly believe there's need for another UI retreat--this time ON DIVERSITY. I'd be happy to be part of the conversation--if I can do it with folks with tanks, mortars and koboko, I don't see why it can't happen among kindred spirits. It won't help anymore maligning one another on either side of the pond. And, I'll continue talking with VC Aluko about FU Otuoke for both of us actually share a lot of values in common, even though I may not like his politics.

Prof. Okey Iheduru:

 

Hello there!  I read yours below, and I am moved to act on a thought that I have had for some time now....

 

So here goes.......

 

I am now PUBLICLY inviting you to come and spend  6 months or 12 months  - either between  November  2014 to October - or January to December 2015  - at Otuoke to assist me to CRAFT a University of our joint dreams in Nigeria.  Clearly the dream will not be all yours or all mine - but let us "rub minds" to see it happen.

 

You will be compensated commensurate with your professorial rank....if I can get supernumerary compensation for you from some sources, I shall try.  You will be given free housing for the period, and I shall ensure that local transportation will not be a problem.  If you stay for one year, I shall get the university somehow to pay for two economy return trips but for six months, only one economy return trip.

 

I am doing so because I read your constant criticism (or critique?) of the Nigerian academy.   I want to believe that it is mere skepticism and not cynicism, because I note that you jet in and out of Nigeria episodically.  I want to give you an opportunity to make an impact WITHOUT taking all the blame and involving yourself too much in the politics.

 

I am NOT offering you a CONSULTING position where you dash in and out though.  I want you to be ON THE GROUND with me at Otuoke.  You will have no teaching duties if you don't desire to, although one course will not kill you., I will make you  a Special Academic Director in the Vice-Chancellor's Office or some title like that - or you can craft one short of being called "Vice-Chancellor" or "Registrar".  I will give you free rein to advise me on as many things as you wish, and we shall report back to this forum your experience..

 

If you wish to discuss this public offer more, you can give me a call  right away on 240-535-3139.  It is even a local call!

 

A deal?

 

I shall be waiting.

Is the University of Ibadan really a "premiere" FEDERAL university or some Bantustan Katikatika (university)? Just read the list of participants at the so-called retreat that is supposed to lead the institution to "refocus, repackage, reenergize and reposition"? It's FAR, FAR, FAR worse on the ground--if you've had the privilege of being on an external accreditation team visit to the institution. Can you really be a 21st century university without the barest minimum modicum of diversity in your country, especially given the fact that the proprietor of the university and the country's Constitution ACTUALLY require/mandate it?

 

Is "U-hai" worse than the rest of Nigeria's FEDERAL universities? That's not the right question; at least, the others don't blab about being "the best" this, "the best" that, even though there's hardly any objective basis for such self-congratulatory claims. Besides, if you're THE ELDER in the house, do you start eating toads for supper simply because children are doing so, perhaps unknowingly?

 

Group-think is the father of complacency and the both father and son/daughter are irredeemably stymied by fear of change. Another retreat, you say?

 

Peace as always!!!

         UI holds retreat to challenge officials for effective service delivery

 

The  University of Ibadan constantly exposes its officials to retreats for clarity and direction which the institution seeks in accomplishing its vision and mission. Such retreats also afford the workforce to reassess its focus and make necessary corrections.

 

In this regard, the University administration has assembled its top management team and key officers for a two-day retreat from Wednesday, 8 to Saturday, 11 October, 2014 in Equity Resort (Gateway Hotel), Ijebu-Ode.

 

Speaking at the event, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Isaac F. Adewole, said that all categories of staff must work together to make UI a truly 21st century institution of global ranking. 

 

"UI has a concentration of talents. It is filled with champions who should work together so that we can go places. We should not be complacent. We should refocus, repackage, reenergize and reposition. We should not allow the challenges to frighten us. Also, we should let our students see us as friends. We must remain bonded to them", the VC stressed.

 

Chief Moji Ladipo, former Registrar, University of Ibadan, speaking on a topic entitled "Administrative Procedure: Things We Overlook but are of Great Importance in our Day-to-Day Administrative Duties" explained that there must be a written procedure manual for a more efficient day-to-day administration of the University. 

 

Her words: "Procedure Manual should be readily available to all people involved  in the administration of the organization. This manual must be regularly updated. It allows staff at every level and degrees of experience to perform assigned tasks with predictable consequence."

 

According to the University's Director of Public Communication, Mr. Olatunji Oladejo, the retreat focuses on such topics as " Challenges of the 21st Century University Administrator" by Prof. Isaac Adewole, Vice-Chancellor, University of Ibadan; "Administrative Procedure: Things We Overlook but are of Great Importance in our Day-to -Day Administrative Duties" by Chief Moji Ladipo, former Registrar, University of Ibadan; "University Financial Regulations and Procedures" by Alhaji J.A. Bankole, former Bursar, University of Ibadan and "Strategic Plans for Attracting, Harnessing and Disbursing of Grants for Research and Training among all Cadres of Staff in the University" by Dr. Eme Owoaje, Director, Research Management Office, University of Ibadan.

 

Others are "A Collaborative Approach to Harnessing Goodwill: The Advancement Centre and the Rest of Us" by Mr. Debo Adeosun of the University's Advancement Centre; "E-Learning as a Model for Sustainable Transformation in the Education Sector" by Dr. Suleiman Ramon-Yusuf from the National Universities Commission (NUC), Abuja; "Reminiscences of a former Vice-Chancellor" by Prof. Babatunde Adeleke, former Vice-Chnacellor, Ladoke Akintola University (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso; and presentations on "Faculty Administration- from a former Dean's Diary" by Prof. Oluremi Ayodele- Bamisaiye, former Dean, Faculty of Education and Prof. Adeniyi Togun, former Dean, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Ibadan, as well as "Breaking Barriers of Pessimism and Despondency" by Mr. "Tayo Aduloju.
