la furia: in ABU zaria, selling of hand-outs is illegal, the penalty is outright dismissal.
hand-outs were indirectly sold before, where the lecturer gives the departmental photocopier and ask students to get a copy for themselves.

other lecturers will only recommend their materials in class but that is it.

I remember a lecturer who gave the class rep material to photocopy but told him to do so in other department or in the market so that it shouldn't be interpreted as he was selling hand-outs.

Buying the hand-out is not compulsory at all, you don't have to write down your names to indicate you have gotten it.

in reality, NANS can do little about it, most of the polytechnic schools are guilty of hand-outs for pass mark. unless the school authority plans to do anything, the selling of hand-outs will continue. the rector knows fully well what happening but he himself is benefiting from the system, so he turns a blind eye

ghananotnaija: How cute, you guys think that you go to universities.

Jingo-OAU:


For the nairalanders, if you want your children to have university education in Nigeria, don't subject them to psychological torture by taking them to all these mushroom universities, rather, enrol your children in Obafemi Awolowo University. A school with class, standard, history, clear mission and vission, credibility, sophistication, legacy, learning and culture.

boay:
Recommended textbooks? Are the textbooks written by the lecturers? Is it compulsory?
