The University Education In Nigeria- An Article By Alikaxon by Alikaxon(m): 5:34pm On Aug 13, 2014 |
It might interest every interested person to know that the university education in Nigeria is in a fascinating state. Education is the key, it is priceless, it remains the engine power of any nation. It is a facet connected to every peripheral facet in the stream of development. The importance of education in any nation can not be over emphasized. In this light; it is an uthmost task for every nation to educate her citizens. case study; Nigeria which is the most populous black nation in the world and currently the largest economy in Africa, in my view; wouldn't have achieved this feet if there wasn't education in the country. The question is, how effective is it? Education is divided into stages, with the popular adoption of 6, 3, 3, 4 pattern in Nigeria, with emphassy on "the university education"; in respect to observing its mode, progress and their impact on the general society. The first university came into Nigeria in 1955, but officially opened on 7th october 1960; this is the "university of Nigeria, NSUKKA". Prior to its establishment, the educated Nigerians then, had schooled abroad. Years ran out and many universities sprang up in Nigeria. Today, there exist more than 100 universities in Nigeria; private, state and federal universities all together. encyclopaedia of knowledge; comprising persons of various kinds, acquainting various and differ kind of knowledge(s). So, what is the true state of Nigerian universities? Are they fulfilling this objective? Lets observe! Perhaps, Nigerian universities are making progress, but not without falls. There are a lot of challenges facing these academic institutions today; the first and most obvious, is the inceasant academic staff union(ASUU) strike; this frequently interrupts smooth learning. On the other hand, structures are dilapidated, students don't learn in conducive evironment anymore. Moving also to the issue of cultism; these so called cultists harrass innocent students, thereby constituting psychological fear and consequent insecurity on them, and this could reduce the students' learning zeal. More so, campus prostitution is now a trend among the female students; they are now more concentrated in prostitution than academics; I know you know they can't excel academically. These and so many other odds has painted the Nigerian universities in bad light; employers now adopt rigorous methods of recruitment to the extent of organising tests/exams to prove the efficiency of students; this is because they do not trust the graduates, and yes sincerely; some graduates are half baked. progress. Some ever zealous students, irrespective of the harsh conditions exposed to, still strive to excel beyond their equals. The classrooms and lecture halls are usually filled up at nights, by enthusiastic students, who are determined and bent on making a difference. They excel, not just locally, but internationally. Thank you! _Alikaxon |

@Macdanny247... This what people don't know, they won't even comment, because it is not about "Tonto Dikeh" or so. And I believe this is also a problem emanating from our educational system. Alot of students are too in a hurry to reason well, even on nairaland, you here them shout "too long post", they lack the intellectual capacity to construct tenses, and engage in healthy arguments that helps to enhance their mentality, they rather engage their time in gossiping celebs et al. On the part of students, some of them are lazy and can't think beyond the box. Some lecturers also constitute to this sometimes; they request students to give them exactly what they taught them et al..... |
