Dear All:
You will find viewable here an embedde Power-Point presentation:
of the Nigerian Needs Assessment Report on the Nigerian Universities System that was made to NEC (National Economic Council) of Nigeria in November 2012. It was recently made available to us Vice-Chancellors.
Identifying these infrastructural problems comprehensively and honestly was deemed essential, hence the commissioning of the assessment, the report of which the Federal Government is reacting to, with a N100 billion for capital projects this year for all the identified universities, and N100 billion for the next four years.
There is much greater financial need, but it is a beginning to solving at least the universities' infrastructural problems.
Note:
