Op i 4get problem with you if you had not mentioned unimaid, I got my B.sc from unimaid and I'm currently doing my msc in uniagric makurdi. Though the crisis is an issue in unimaid, they have unserious lecturers because there is little or no competition over there also external supervisors hardly visit the school because of boko are rams. My senior sister got her masters from there before boko haram crises and i for like to school there if not for boko haram because the school is relatively cheap. But I thank God uniagric makurdi is not bad shall. Nice write up op, welldone. 1 Like |

fratermathy:I've been on for a M.Sc programme in the department of computer science the most unorganized department in the school for the past 8years. I've done departmental exit twice and the third time loading. I beg, I don't want to talk about computer science department, UniZik. it's simply frustrating and and appalling. it's the only place where a lecturer will cause your work to be stepped down with a claim it has flaws and when they're been asked to put the student through, they become evasive. one evaded me for a whole year and at the end, asked me to go and meet my supervisor that she has no business with me. 1 Like |

I don't know what happens in other departments at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka but the department of computer science of that school is supposed to be number one on that list. 24 of us were given admission in 2009 and right now as I'm writing only four have graduated and it's by God's special grace. |

fratermathy:In the same ABU, I have been waiting for my external defence since last October. It's been five months since then. No show. I know guys who waited eight months for theirs and had to pay additional school fees before they could graduate. Pay no heed to those who come out to defend the indefensible. We must first admit the truth about salient issues before we can have the chance of adequately addressing them! 1 Like |

fratermathy: I want to state here that technically or tactically the NUC is part of this issue... I have witnessed an inspection period in one of the Uni you enlisted and you will be shocked to note that the department in question was understaffed but yet produced a list of unverified prof's which the NUC team accepted also the PG class for one of the departments in the same institution was alleged inspected but was a disappointment. that did not bring about any change... presently now one of the institution in question will be inspected soon and sadly all the camouflage and packaged appearance are being put in place pending when the inspection will be held and then things return to its dead state. 1 Like |

As important as the topic is, I will once again say it is timely. I was told at the beginning of my post graduate studies by one of the lecturers that academics and making money are on parallel lines and they never meet. I thought about this and gave my all in the pursuit of what I came for. We practically begged to be lectured, examined and supervised. Lecturers seem to have other sources of income that is dear to them. This they attend to at the expense of the students. Is this supposed to be so? Was this how they were treated during their own time of study? How long must this go on? Going back to study is a means of keeping youths out of societal decadence. I made my choice. Did I do wrong to go back to study? 1 Like |

fratermathy:You tried in your research, however there are some contradiction. Some schools that appeared in the top schools good for masters are also in the list of the worst 5 schools. I guess the previous research was in a hurry or so. Most people will come here to brag about their school which I always laugh at. I wonder who they think they are deceiving, I rep Uniilorin, I rep OAU, I rep ABU and Co will make them not to expose those schools for action to be taken to better the standard of their schools. Sincerely, PG programmes in naija need serious attention. Most of the lecturers who got their higher degree back in the days when things were still good through scholarships abroad now want to remain the dons alone forever making them have poor attitudes towards their job 3 Likes |

My brother has been stuck in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka for almost 3 years now doing Msc. He completed his project early enough but because of lazy lecturers, he has been waiting for final defense for over a year now. I hate that place. We have spent so much money yet nothing to show for it. It is advisable to do a PG program in a University with a defined Academic calendar like University of Ibadan fratermathy: 2 Likes |

Try chemistry department, home of sadists and incompetent psychopaths. Nobody has graduated in that department since 2012. Most of the older sets are still waiting for final defence.

Ghost01:Op i am not here to argue. we are all educated and educated people see problems and find solution. There are challenges and there is need for improvement. But ABU PG programme is not terrible. On the people waiting for external défense for the past 8, i can say they allowed it stay that long. In ABU there is à organisational structure that is simple and straight forward (dept, Faculty, PG school and senate) when à student completes his programme for professional Masters or thesis and in case of Msc or Phd the dept send your name to thé faculty board, for approval, they meet in the month. After approval, it is forwarded Post Gradute (PG) school board they meet every second thursday of the month. The Dean of PG school presents it to the University senate. They meet every last thurday of the month. Then the PG school issues the statement of result or notification for approval. For MSc and Phd candidates the name and thé nominated 1 external supervisor and 2 internal supervisors are sent to the department. The dept can now call for the défense. Any student can go and check at the dept, faculty or PG school to know what is happening. Some of the problems face are 1. The dept may not send your name,due to ommision. I know of dept who send the name of student very early. (Quantity surveying dept). 2. Mistake in your name or registration number. it will be sent back to the dept. 3. Must dept do not organise external defence for only one candidate some dept want at least three. I waited for 4 months because i was thé only candidate who was ready. i had to wait for approval of two other student before external defense was organised. If it is organised for each student then every week the dept has to organise external extermination and it is not sustainable. Anybody having to wait that 8 months long, didnt ask questions or check back to see what is happening. You can walk to the office of Dean of postgraduate school and he will listen to you. I waited 3 months after my approval for external defense came from PG school to do my external examination, because my dept wanted more candidates (5) to call the examiner to come. I went to see the HOD and spoke to him. My external defense held the next week. ABU has à research log book to be filled by the student on anything they do and signed by supervisors . In case of any problem the university request for the log book to see who is at fault or why there is no progress in the research. Many dept give deadline for submission of project especially in professional Masters programme like it is done in undergraduate programme, quality of research will be compromised . It is impossible in Msc and Phd because graduation dépends on thé quality of the research not quantity of student graduate. I have quite à lot of issues with thé A.BU PG programme. A.B.U post graduate programme needs improvement but it is not terrible as you have made it look. *am typing on my phone, pls padon my error |
