The Chancellor of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Shehu Chindo Yamusa III has alleged that about 80 percent of Nigeria university lecturers are quacks, hence lacking the skills and method to be in the classroom.

He advocated to the management of various Nigeria universities to ensure that those to be employed as lecturers have the minimum required certificate in education or related programs approved by Teachers Registration Council or National teachers Institute.

The Chancellor who was speaking at the 2nd stakeholders’ meeting of University in Keffi said those already in the system and have no training or qualification in education should go back to class room in order to become more productive.

“It is evident that, 80 percent of lecturers are not professionals, but only those in the faculty of education and few ones that have PGDE in other Faculties are qualify to teach.

“Some universities have started full implementation of “MUST HAVE” PGDE before employ as lecturers and where a Lecturer does not have, he/she is recommended to faculty of education for one or two years programs, after which he/she is engaged in the field of facilitations.”

Yamusa III who was a university lecturer before ascending to his ancestral throne as Emir of Keffi, tongue-lashed management of Nasarawa State University, Keffi for promoting sentiments responsible for the fallen standard of university education system.

He however blamed lack of adherence to due process and rule of law as factor militating against the growth of the university in all aspects.

“It is sad that meritocracy doctrine has been jettison in the university administration.

“However, not to long ago many lecturers were recruited based on favouritism, politics and primordial mundane sentiments and that added degradation to the realization of intended objectives.”

The Vice Chancellor, Suleiman-Bala Mohammed who corroborated his views to that of the Chancellor said, he was going to fight unethical conducts and introduce whistle blowing policy to expose lecturers engaged fraudulent activities in the system.

Mohammed stated that the university was confronted with a number of challenges that have threatened its potentials growth.

He mentioned drift towards impunity, dilapidated infrastructure, inadequate facilities, agitation for compensation of university land, inadequate funding are among other factors confronting the University’s growth.

He lamented how the image of the university has gone bad due to the activities of few minority and assured that, with the support of other management staff he was going “to fish out bad eggs, mercenaries in the university”.

“The essence is to nature the university to a 22 century standard, because we have the capacity, ability and the people to achieving that,” he said.

That's why there are so many half baked graduates in the job market. Chai! �

The bolded is the cause of the problem instead of buttressing PGD. Many lecturers back then didn't have PGDE yet they performed well compare to this era

cc:lalasticlala please move this. It is important for other stakeholders to see this and contribute their quota. The prof identified a problem of which I disagree however I want more input from others.

Instead of advocating for funding to facilitate ground breaking research in the STEMs this one is here talking about Pgde.
Shee Steven Hawkins and Albert Einstein all had pgde. If you don’t have anything reasonable to say just shut up and eat your stakeholders money abeg.

Our focus should be on productivity in this certificate driven country. With your pgde how many Nobel laureates have you been able to teach?

This is Nigeria...

I'm sure he did not include those in Colleges of Education.
The percentage would have been 99.99%.
It's worse in the north.

That's the truth, nothing but the truth.

Shots fired!

The best they do is to be repeating 1945 lesson note

Seriously are you in doubt?
Like you're not in Nigeria?

See table shaker

True tok

So in other words ,if one doesn't have PGDE he can't make a good lecturer ..this shows the man's Kevel of intelligence

lies

Not in my school biko.

My University still remains the best in the country.

That's why they call us UNIpetrol.

nassarawa state uni has best lecturers in psycho and finance

Most especially in Nasarawa State University Keffi

nassarawa state uni I'd best state uni in the North. if it is useless lecturer them all northern uni should be scraped

Hope is lost in this country����

Does it matter? After all your children are all in abroad, and you left us to suffer in your hands and other quack merchants like yourself

I beg to differ. 80% is way too high. Cmon?
So in every 10 profs, only 2 get head? Really?

Am with him...

Very spot on. The notebooks used to lectured 2010 sets the same books are being used till date.
No update

in Nigeria "Education has fallen" we go to sch for relevance and to be frank it is a mediocre because this institutions often rely on past glories and achievements

no one takes education serious anymore in this country that's y our people flock to Benin and Ghana for higher studies

until we begin to question what we've called conventions then there is no way forward

from a concerned Nigerian

seconded

That may be true

98% quacks. Some have used same note for 10 years

Teachers with NCE or any certificate in education are the most stupid set of people I ever know. They believe that once you don't pass through their useless colleges of education, you can't teach successfully. Most NCE holders I know are dullards (my wife inclusive) when it comes to academic prowess, and they still won't spare us their trashy talks. Stvpid lots!
