The useless governor is talking out of senselessness. As a person, he only passed through school and the school never pass through him just like those that will concur to his stupidity. What did he do as a governor to improve the standard of his state owned university? Mediocre of a governor, little wonder why he could only build only bridges and hotels in 8 years. Where are the 31 industries you promised? Did you fail to deliver because you went to a public school? Charge and bail; unbaked lawyer. May God pay you in your own coin.
And what's dis one saying?

I don't blame him sha, what do we expect from a country where academic staff of universities and polytechnic goes on industrial actions (strike)for year without being addressed by government. Footballers and ex-convicts are now being celebrated and honoured.. Imagine the insult!

Private universities may be better than state-owned universities, definitely not federal universities. Akpabio knows this. Even as a Governor, his daughter was in ABU, Zaria.

Private educational institutions the world over are better than publicly funded - he's not saying anything new.

Just as publicly funded hospitals are not as good as private hospitals.

When your ability to survive depends on the quality of the service that you provide then it stands to reason that you will eradicate waste and adopt the best practices. Otherwise you cease to exist.

Lool.. Why are peeps getting all emotional? It's the bitter truth tongue


Na these same people wey dey abuse Akpabio go come dey complain how public school lecturers dey frustrate them. It's only in a public Uni that a lecturer will purposely fail a student because of a vow he made to himself that no student will make a distinction in his course. Not to make mention of the strikes which distort the school calendar.

[quote author=mrvitalis post=34544668]And how is ur state university after 8yrs of your rulership... .


And who should we blame for that [/quotel]

Akwa Ibom State University is relatively young compared to most public Universities, but frankly it's doing quite well.

That said Akpabio did make a good point. 'cos these private Universities are profit driven, performance is key. That's why a considerable no if them have far better infrastructures and some of the best brains among its staff.

Akpabio can you defend this hasty statement?
anyway some Private Unis in Nigeria are far better than most state universities believe it or not.
That is a sign of failure by the Governments( FG & State), its even more disgraceful that akpabio could utter such a statement . For 8 years at the saddle in Akwa ibom what was his impact on the state university? am disappointed

Private Nigerian universities better than public ones, ex-Governor Akpabio says

Private universities in Nigeria are better than public ones, a former state governor has said.
Godswill Akpabio, who governed oil rich Akwa Ibom State for 8 years, stated this on Sunday at the 13th undergraduate and 14th postgraduate convocation of Babcock University.
The immediate past Akwa Ibom governor was awarded a honourary doctorate degree in Global Economic Development by the university at the event held at the university stadium,Ilishan in Ogun State.
“I want to say here that private universities are better than the other universities and I want to also say that when graduate(s) of privately owned universities present their certificates,they have more opportunities to be considered for employment,” the governor said without providing any evidence for his statement or stating why he could not make the Akwa Ibom State University as good as its private counterparts for the eight years he ruled the state.

Mr. Akpabio also advised the graduating students to be responsible ambassadors of the university especially as their university is owned by a church.
“Ensure you turn out to be good products of the university. Allow God to go with you; in your future allow God to be with you,” he said. “I remain the only governor in Nigeria who drew his people to God. I have the largest choir in the country called Governor Akpabio Unity Choir.”

The former governor listed the achievements of his administration to include a state e-library, road construction and a standard stadium.
He said he agreed to accept the award because of the respect he has for the university, as he had rejected similar offers by other universities.
“I received Babcock University award because its foundation is built on God,” he said while stating that he did not lobby for the award.

The university graduated 1,416 students at the ceremony, including popular hip-hop singer, Davido, and Ikenna Ntomchukwu, son of Ogun State Commissioner of Police.

You are disappointed because his telling you the truth? the truth hurts, The harvards, yale, princeton of this world are all private universities not public. Its common kNOWLEDGE that private universities are better than public ones but with exceptions.

Akpabio built Akwa Ibom State university from the start. He is one of the few gov.during his time that built a state university. The Akwa Ibom State university started in 2010 and graduated its first students last month. Its only 5 yrs and yet is better than most state universities that started way back. Check NUC university ranking 2014 and 2015 to confirm.
