If the federal government are not doing anything by now to scrap this courses from our universities, then it means our economic liberation as a nation is still far-fetched. This courses should be replaced with the courses below. Not as a vocational program now, but as a degree program. Nigerians don’t like to identify with anything vocational, they love to go for ‘NYSC’.
• Software Development
• Welding and Fabrication
• Fashion Designing
• Concrete Finishing (Plastering, Screading, Painting, Tiles)
• Interior designing and Decoration
• Security Systems Technology
• Wood Finishing
• Road Construction Tech
• Leather Extraction and Finishing
• Cinematography and Movie making
• Advanced Programming
• Furniture making
• Solar Engineering
• Automation Engineering
• Hospitality Management
• Waste Management and Recycling Tech
• Web Development and Management
• Graphics, Branding and Industrial Printing

If we can embrace this, unemployment will be reduced drastically.

sukkot:
[b]what you are attempting to do is put band-aid over a damaged system. ok let me tell you how this works, how many lecturers are in nigeria ? 10,000 plus maybe ? where does the money come from to pay their salaries ? from the government right ? so the government is paying all these people billions of naira for flushing out tens of thousands of unemployable graduates. so that is damage on two sides. two sides are leaking. you are paying all this money out and you are not bringing any in and then you are flushing out tens of thousands of unemployable people. thats a broken system. however if you overhaul the courses and put courses where no matter what everyone will get work, practical courses like welding, road tarring, road construction, garment making, food manufacturing, auto-mechanics, heavy machinery servicing etc etc, these courses will flush out tens of thousands of graduates that are useful to the country and economy and will advance nigeria, and then you can tax them while they are working and pay the lecturers and that is a working system. thats the only way forward. there is no need continuing all those courses you mentioned. there is no need for them in nigeria. thats just the reality of it. what do you need english and linguistics for ? or mass communication and journalism and literature and drama arts ? these are hobbies and past-times not careers. these are things people do outside of work to unwind. you cant make a hobby into a career. it works in times of prosperity but in times of austerity it does not work[/b]

As far as there is an industry and market for this courses, there is no need for it to be scrapped. Instead the ones that relate to eachother can be merged,- now that's cost effective and cheap for the government cos they'll be paying less lecturers.

Bros sukkot, you Nigerians in diaspora blow things out of propotion. Lol

We have pratical courses ofcourse. Whoever said we don't? I listed them out earlier.

Talking Of Estate Management

let me give u a brief summary





Estate management is quite a broad term for a
number of areas that include property
management, surveying, business and finance
and the built environment. Closer ties are
beginning to emerge between estate and
property management and business and financial
practices, and essentially the subject is primarily
concerned with the valuation and management of
land and buildings in the public and private
sector.








Example areas of study












Estate and property management courses are
quite widely available but different courses at
different institutions have a varying focus. Some
focus more on the valuation and management
side of estate management, where a similarly
titled course may focus more on development
and investment opportunities. It is important
that you look at the modules and focus of the
courses that you are interested in before
submitting an application.






The list of subjects
below will give you an idea of the things that you
may study.















Introduction to law
Economics of land and property
Building and construction technology
Environmental planning
Sustainable development
Urban estate management
Surveying and valuation
Investment
Property management
Business economics
Facilities management
Land economics
Conversion and refurbishment
Project planning and management
Building design
Conservation and preservation of historic
buildings
Taxation
Land use studies
Finance and business studies
Map and plan creation
Marketing
Quantitative methods in finance
Security analysis
Landlord and tenant law
History of the built environment
Negotiation techniques
Environmental policy and assessment
Management principles









Op is dat wat u want Fg to Scrap off??!??

You're a nonentity, the greatest Fool living in this 21st century. Am very ashamed of you and of naira land accepting this nonsense,it is completely lacking in intellectual vitality and says a lot about the poster! one who has no values,perceptions, ingenuity and history. A manufacture of the West. Soon you will come here persuading us to accept wrong Anglo-America ideals...I hate this rubbish.

your suggested courses can be added without scrapping the rest.
the op is high on weed. He forgot that the Almighty Tourism can't forge a headway without Archaeology. I donnot like anybody agreeing with him he seems to know little or nothing about the courses he listed. He desperately needs a mental assessment.
