Not A Single Nigerian In King Abdullah University Of Science And Technolgy by Zubebe(m): 7:46am On Dec 07, 2009 |
Arab News newspaper reported extensively on this new high tech-meta university opened on september 23 this year 2009 in Saudi Arsbia. It was a really big deal if 13 heads of states across the world attended. Here is the roll call; phillipines, kuwait, yemen, turkey,jordan,bangladesh, malaysia,mauritius,syria , sudan,somalia and nigeria. The university is built for advanced research in applied maths, bio science, chemistry, polymers, etc. A total of 500 students were enrolled across the globe who were all sponsored by KSA. My great concern here there is no nigerian among them. Why? Are we bereft of qualified students in those fields with all our population? Or are the products of our univerities to blame? moreover the admissions were not based on religion-which makes nigeria to be qualified twice. Why why and why? |

I was told to apply but god forbid i attend such a university. Abeg u want us to leave the kettle and jump into the fire? I agree though that it is a great opportunity because it is a free university. You should definitely try and make people aware of the school and the opportunities it offers them. |

Thanks sefago for all that info on kaust. Did you say from kettle to fire and then even saudi is better than , i see contradiction there or else a case of sour grapes. And very soon nigerians will flood the school? Well i know nigerians love anything awoof but the saudis are not fools to allow that. In nigeria we see that in some universities. Just look at the intake at university of medina. As for yaradua being there, well its a silly naija joke that pokes fun at sick people. |

I didn't catch this thread early enough, but if you had cared to do your research, you would have found that there was at least, one Nigerian among the students at inception. http://www.aramcoexpats.com/articles/2009/10/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-kaustian/ |
