This problem is not new to me. It was one of the problems l encountered in the mid 80s which continues till today.
The problems were many but let me briefly mention five of them.
I. The teachers were not well equipped with necessary research methods.
2. The students were not exposed to writing skills.
3. The learning environment lacked basic infrastructural needs to enhance research production.
4. Nowadays, lecturers cannot cope with the number of students they supervise.
5. The society itself does not encourage hard work. In other words, the moral value for hard work has diminished.
Suggestions:
1. They should teach students at lower levels introduction to research methods.
2. They should write term papers at 300 and 400 Levels and no more long essays or projects.
3. Students in natural sciences should use their laboratory research findings to write their projects.
4. NUC should not impose long essays on students. The Senate of each institution should make the decision on such academic matters.
