. in Nigeria from SL you get to Reader which means Associate Professor. Them you can be a professor later.You have to be in the good book of the management before you become a professor in many Nigerian universities. Some lecturers leave from one institution to another in order to be a professor.. Everything has been politicized.... In polytechnic. the highest rank is Chief Lecturer which is equivalent to a university professor. Even the salary disparity between a professor and a CL in polytechnic is very negligible.

Chief lecturer is equivalent to an associate prof not a full professor

. Polytechnic progression has Senior lecturer Principal Lecturer and Chief lecturer while university has Senior lecturer Reader and Professor.. By the time you become a Reader you are an Associate Professor.. Being a professor is just an appointment .no paper or conferences required.However in polytechnic you need papers and publications and conferences to be a Chief lecturer...A chief lecturer earns close to 500kas salary .Same applies to a professor...

Some states owned and private universities approved to award proferssorship don't follow these guidelines.

It is not the same thing... why didn't you start from assistant lecturer and count..

Who says that a professor doesn't need publications? It is easier to become a chief lecturer with a Ph.D then a professor. The requirements to become a chief lecturer is very mild..

Being a professor is either by appointment or by promotion. Normally if all things are equal one is expected to spend 3 yrs as a reader before being appraised... but all things are not equal and people have spent up to 5 or 6 yrs as a reader..
Also have in mind that the requirements this year will not be the same next year. For example have you seen the new draft document by NUC, that they are planning to implement soon? Compare that to the polytechnics.

Besides as a chief lecturer, and you want to move over to the university system the best you can get is a reader, otherwise na senior lecturer them go give you, some even got L1 because they didn't meet up with the requirements..

. Good contribution..... some even spend 10 years as Readers while some in good book of the management will quickly become profs...However by the time you become a prof you will get your allowance backdated to the date you became a professor. That is why I said in Nigeria professor is like appointment within the system.Some have been frustrated in the process.In polytechnics. no chief lecturer will want to go to University. That is why a PhD holder will want to stay on the polytechnic system because of reduction in salary in the universities.. With your PHD you may be given an LI or SL depending on your experience.A Principal lecturer will never ever want to go to university when he has a cadre to be a chief Lecturer..with close yo 500k he will be collecting every month.No wonder many lecturers still prefer to stay in polytechnic to coming over to university especially those who have become SL and above there

Pokytecnic...Assistant lecturer. L111 L11 L1 SL PL and CL...With the revised progression though not yet implemented. GA will be the starting point for a degree holder....... University: GA AL. L11 LI SL Reader and Proff.......Becoming a reader is where the challenge is in university ..Awarding proffesssor depends on whom you are and how you relate to the management... Some readers don't even write again because they are not appointed as professors.Your assessment to be Reader is more challenging than your appointment as a prof...

One of the requirements says that as a reader you must have graduated atleast 2 msc students or 1 phd student, sometimes it is difficult

Let me ask you a question, why do polytechnics insist on having an internal rector, is it not because that you cannot compare a CL to a Prof?

. With due respect to those in polytechnic and university, the polytechnic staff prefer somebody within the system to be their rector not some.ebody from outside who will be managing the polytechnic system anyhow...That is why Profs are not allowed in polytechnic again....I think it is about going to where you lecture for an administrative position.
