Is this now a goal of governance? undecided


thegeniusmedia:
Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the 2019 election, says he will provide free Wi-fi facility at the Lagos State University (LASU), if elected.

Sanwo-Olu made the pledge on Thursday at a special 70th birthday lecture and inauguration of a 500-seater Lecture Theatre donated to LASU by Mr Adeyemi Makanjuola, Chairman, Caverton Offshore Support Group.

The lecture, delivered by Professor of International Law, Akin Oyebode, is titled ; Town and Gown, Giving in the Age of Scarcity.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the lecture theatre was donated by the benefactor to commemorate his 70th birthday.

Sanwo-Olu said that the provision of free Wi-Fi at LASU would further improve access to quality and advance technological development in the university.

The APC governirship candidate said that the recent call by Dr Wale Babalakin, Chairman, Governing Council, University of Lagos on Lagos State to spend N1.2 million per student annually was doable.

According to him, spending N1.2 million on about 50,000 LASU students would cost Lagos State N60 billion annually, describing it as achievable.

He described Makanjuola as sound a minded and impeccable person of integrity who had devoted his time and resources to mentor young adults and improve humanity.

“I have taken a lot of personal lecture and mentorship from the celebrant, who is a father, an uncle to be reckoned with and I wish him the very best, long life and sound health and abundant blessings ,” he said.

Also speaking, Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode, assured that Sanwoolu would complete all the ongoing projects in the university if elected.

Among dignitaries present at the event were Lagos monarch, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, Dr Wale Babalakin, Mr Akin Kekere-Ekun, Former, Chairman, LASU Governing Council, among others.

lasu doesn't have male students hostel and even the girls hostel fee is unbearably high. Also lasu doesn't have student buses for transportation, the students are always at the mercies of bus drivers who inconsiderably increases bus fares.
And he comes and start promising free WiFi? WiFi that has been functioning in some departments before.

It's a damn shame! When schools like ABU, Zaria has had free UNLIMITED Wi-Fi since 2007 and some random nigger is using this as a campaign promise. Nigerians celebrating when given what is rightfully theirs.

MY FEEDBACK TO #LETSGETNIGERIAWORKINGAGAIN.

Greetings to you HE Atiku Abubakar Atiku Abubakar, It is with admiration that I painstakingly read y(our) plans to #LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain. Permit me to commend the great job done sir.

Sir, just as you rightly said that “Access is not the only challenge facing the education sector: there are critical challenges with regards to quality, relevance and equity.” I will like to share my main points with you on the level of deterioration that our tertiary education curriculum is into now.

I grew up into the age of Internet, with so much joy as a little boy, I was tremendously glad to accompany my brothers to computer cafe centres to surf the internet. This opportunity enlightened and helped me see the possibilities of innovation in the computing world. I made the decision right from that age, that I would study Computer Science and also contribute my part to the development of Nigeria in terms of ICT Innovation.

I got admitted into the University with my dream high and lofty as I was lucky to be offered Computer Science. With so much enthusiasm, I was looking forward to getting my hands filled with IT skills that were in demand all over the world through my course modules. I never knew that I would be stuck with only theories and notes through out of my claimed “Computer Science Degree”.

In the twenty first century, it was PASCAL and some other “dead” programming languages that were taught in class with a blue moon practical class. It was frustrating, painful and absurd; it’s as if we were in step one while other developing and developed countries were in step 200.

Sir, to be candid, the state of our curriculum has rendered many of us subpar in comparison to our counterparts in developing and developed nations.

Education was to equip us with the right, current and practical knowledge not with out-dated knowledge. We paid for this education, via the sweat and sleepless night of our underpaid or unpaid parents, yet we were denied the right knowledge and skills that would position us as top talent in the IT world and other fields of study.

Many of us sold bread, sachet water on the streets just as you did sell firewood just to pay for our education, which we believed would make us better. It is unfair if we are still unemployable after graduation due to lack of hot skills in demand in the business world as we were never equipped with in school.

We were told to produce a project as requirement for graduation with emphasis on its contribution to the Academic body. We thought by working on projects like: Development of a record keeping system or Design and Implementation of student voting system will pave way for us in the corporate world, we never knew what we did and many are still doing is obsolete and has no significance to the corporate world.

Also, some of us were able to develop novel solutions that might have been awarded GRADE A in school and recommended for immediate journal publication for adoption by the concerned body, yet there is no light showing at the end of this tunnel - A case study of O.S Obaniyi, who developed a solution that can curb the incessant vices that has eaten deep in our education system such as cultism, malpractices etc. and put Nigeria as pioneer in using tech to curb vices in the academic space over other Africa nations.

Sir, without mincing words, there is a great gap between the acceptable in the education space and the “in demand” solutions of the corporate world.

Ordinarily, upon graduation students are supposed to hit the corporate world with their solutions and with right funding, become employer of labour if they chose to be, not with obsolete developed project work that many cannot even remember upon graduation.

After years upon years to attain a degree certificate in Nigeria – following the 6-6-4 education system. We never knew that to succeed again we have to start another school in the corporate world called “Internship” – where many employers don’t mind paying graduates N20, 000 per month. They say – you know you don’t have any skills, we will train you.

Without doubt, many young Nigerians dream has been thwarted by the result of poor academic curriculum, which in turn has rendered them unemployable. Most grow up with beautiful career dreams but it is painful to see that upon graduation many have become the opposite of what their dreams. Imagine dreaming to become a Pilot then becoming a Social Media Influencer or Natural hair seller or buy your MTN 1GB for N500 just to make ends meet.

It is very painful and if our education system were to stay the train, I’m afraid we will never be the giant; as the rightful empowerment of students with modern knowledge in their field of study will pave way for innovations that will make Nigeria work.

My resolutions:
• Let there be a total revamp of our education curriculum all over tertiary institutions, to make it match that of developed countries with readily available infrastructure for practical classes and well knowledgeable lecturers to teach and also who knows what they are teaching.

• In support of the above mentioned, let industry stakeholders (those who have deep knowledge on the present and future skills that will be in demand - the future jobs) be involved in the new curriculum development.

• Let students be mandated to start developing industry specific or business world solutions rather than ordinary academic fulfilment projects.

• Let industry stakeholders and Federal Parastatals be invited for final year project defence to pick brilliant solutions for mentoring and funding for growth and launch.

• Let all faculties/departments in the tertiary institution have a taste of Industrial Training/SIWES experience – not just science students alone. This will help to give every students a feel of working experience upon graduation and alleviate the no work experience, no job frustration.

• Let NITDA and all related bodies be evaluated using KPIs of impacts they are making among Nigerians, channel of communication to people and how effective, how many people gets to know about their initiatives (a case study of OIIE - Office of ICT Innovation & Entrepreneurship) etc.

• Let universities give people the courses they ask for, in as much they meet the requirements. This will put passion to proper use as most Nigerians are frustrated via the medium of reading courses they have no passion for, doing jobs they never dreamt of hence the lackadaisical attitude to work and innovation.

Let us save the future of Nigeria. Let us make our education system right, so frustrated graduates will not turn to the alternative of “Japaa” - the most trending decision among Nigerians now to run away to other countries to seek greener pasture. In so doing, we are losing our best brains with potentials to other nations.

This is just a clue of pains in the mind of Nigerian youths.

Let us get Nigeria working sir. Sincerely, I cannot wait.

Oluwajuwon Obaniyi.
A Concerned Nigerian youth.
