These are very poor and mundane architectural designs not befitting of any university-- let alone being upto Akwa ibom standard. Godswill Akpabio is playing politics with virtually everything! It's a pity!

You share my exact sentiments. Why would anyone approve such an archaic design. Are we moving forward or backwards? Are there no good architects in Akwa Ibom. Those buildings are mediocre if we want AKSU to be a world class 21st century University. Gov. Akpabio, Education commisioner, Vice Chancellor and university board take note. Akwa ibom has gone beyond this stage.

I must agree that the state govt has dropped the ball, when it comes to giving the university campus the right infrastructures, all the building at the school on their facebook pages www.facebook.com/AkwaIbomStateUniversity/photos_stream are mediocre at best. Its a real eyesore hope the next administration does better in Re positioning the university.
My 2 cents is that,the university does not require 2 campuses.The 2 campus structure will be the bane of any meaningful development of the school .

Unfortunately this same thing is happening at the university of uyo (both campuses). You enter uniuyo and you wonder why you don't see befitting structures. Is there a law that prohibits our universities from building nice structures. The good governance tour team led by the minister of information made the same comments when they Visited the permanent site of uniuyo at nsukara. What is really the matter? No architects? Or somebody just doesn't know the right thing.

I think I can shed more light on this issue . We all know our universities are currently highly under funded. Most of those magnificent structures you see in 1st and 2nd generation universities were constructed directly by the Federal Government when they used to pay attention to our institutions . However currently VCs are given an amount which they are supposed to use in running these schools and the .VCs main aim is to ensure that his courses are accredited and remain accredited . To achieve this they try to provide the basic things required for this exercise such as ample classrooms, functional laboratory and offices. The aesthetic won't guarantee accreditation , hence it's no use starting a beautiful block that would take 10 years to complete, when you can use the sparse funds to complete a functional classroom blocks under 3 months. This why you will find so many abandoned giant structures in other schools .
I am not holding brief for them, but if you analyze the situation from the way I presented you will agree the .VCs acted in the best interest of the students and not for beauty hype .

I agree with you that the federal government is not funding our schools enough but what about AKSU owned by the akwa ibom state government?- akwa ibom is a rich state. Are you telling me that Akwa Ibom cannot build a world class university. A good architectural design doesn't mean the structure has to be expensive and complex - capital NO. Aesthetics is very important, those AKSU structures are similar to the primary schools being built by the state government. Big shame to whosoever approved such design. AKSU is a new university, structures in the universities should not I repeat should not be rushed or built anyhow just because you want to get accreditation. If the state or federal government do the right thing (proper labs, equipment, machines, lecturers, etc) accreditation should not be an issue. Take one faculty or department you can do and do it very well and not half measures. A good tertiary education holds the key to unlocking the potentials of our people, that why I feel very bad seeing those mediocre structures-I don't know how their labs, lecturers, equipment, etc look like but from the outside the schools don't stand out as Tertiary institutions. Next administration should get AKSU properly on its feet, I mean solid feet. We should do the right thing and stop make excuses for failing to take care of our future and that of our kids!

I concur. I have nothing to add!

In a fruitless attempt to justifying government's failure in providing qualitative education 2d citizenry, you ended-up woefully in making any reasonable comment!

The commissioner of Education and those advising the governor on education especially tertiary education have done a terrible job. The university building/environment looks terrible.

I Agree its a new university, but that's not an excuse to start off with mediocre buildings. A university above other things else needs and requires an environment that can breed/inspire excellence! from what i have seen of the school it is not yet ready to play in the big leagues.

If there is an area that needs attention, it is tertiary education in AKS. The Uncommon transformation should head on down to the state university and transform it.
