Prof AlukoGod bless you real good for providing this information.
It brings tears to the eyes. Is this the environment where we train our children? 1 lecturer to 122 students? Unbelievable!Dumbfounding.Is there a university by university NEEDS assessment? I.e. where each university's situation is detailed. The reason I ask is that my graduating set's 30th anniversary comes up June 2014. I'd like to enrol my class ( which communicates regularly by email) into celebrating our 30th by addressing something significant at UNEC.Which leads to the suggestion that all of us on these forums who attended universities in Nigeria can also do what Alumni do all over the world- sow back to the old school AND form a pressure group to ensure representation on the council/ fund sent to the school is used for what it is meant for --not refurbishing the VCs office!Joe

September 24, 2013Dear 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:QUOTE1999 Constitution / Third Schedule / Part I/ Federal Executive Bodies (Established by Section 153)H - National Economic Council18. The National Economic Council shall comprise the following members -(a) the Vice-President who shall be the Chairman;
