many say d skul luks like a glorified secondary skul, although i haven't been to d skul b4, nor ever visited gwags. But luking at the maingate of d skul 4rm their official website, it luks presentable. But then, i checked out 4 d skul interior on youtube. I wasn't impressed wit wat i saw, the buildings n faculties are full of simple bungalows, hardly saw a storey building there. The skul environment is really wide and quite ok. The convocation ground isn't bad, its quite ok as well. But d students in skul seemed very happy and satisfied wit the skul and the style of live in gwags. If u haven't been to d skul b4, u can check out 4 d skul urself on youtube using the search 'university of abuja',

Professor James Adebowale Adelabu is the Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja. In this interview, he explains what he is doing to raise the standard of the university, his relationship with his predecessor, Professor Nuhu Yaqoub, his alleged attempt to grant amnesty to expelled cultists, reversal of the decision of relocating to the institution’s permanent site, among sundry issues. Excerpts: How would you describe your experiences in the last one year as the Vice Chancellor of the university in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja? As the vice chancellor of the university in the federal capital, my aspiration for the university is to really make a world standard in both quality and structures. In terms of funding, it is a fact that government can’t do it alone. There is also this saying that God helps those who help themselves. We in the university, that is my humble self at the helm of affairs and my able lieutenants have to put our own efforts in the first place. Also, as a federal government’s university, we have to do our best by contacting the private sector and individuals to see how best to retain our internally-generated revenue. But these won’t come up if we don’t have standard programmes that can attract the public to us. In line with that, we are trying to establish some centres for legislative studies and a centre for corruption studies. I was recently with the Director, Centre for Corruption Studies and we were mapping out those seminars we are going to organise for them. Another avenue is that the University of Abuja is the only dual mode university in the country. We are to run degree programmes by distance learning and conventional mode. The conventional mode has been going on but the distance learning arm has started but somewhere along the line, it became paralysed and instead of having our tentacles in all parts of the country, we only remained in Abuja. My administration is currently working to resuscitate all these study centres across the country. University of Abuja study centres are not like those of other universities, because we are empowered by law to do it. With my team, we have already gone to Jigawa State and the study centre there will soon commence. We have gone to Okeogun in Oyo, which is an area that lacks any tertiary institution. Niger state is equally there in Minna and the fourth is in Osun state. It seems that the university is operating from two locations: the permanent site and the temporary site. Do you have infrastructure challenges? The idea of maintaining the old site is far gone. You can see that we are now in the central administrative block. About two weeks ago, we commissioned the Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies. Also just last week, COREN was here and they are building an auditorium here. And in the coming one month, they will move to site. The development is a gradual process. We have only the Faculty of Arts at the permanent site now, but we are hoping that by the end of the year and early next year, more faculties will move here. The challenges are there but with the help of all of us, everything will be alright. Nigerian universities are facing the challenge of producing half- baked graduates. In the University of Abuja, for instance, you had this problem of cult activities by some students. What is the situation now and do you still produce sub- standard graduates for the labour markets? It depends on your perception of looking at these things. I can assure that for some times, we have the records that our students are doing well. For instance, in this Zain competition, University of Abuja beat University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; among others to go and represent the country. Our students brought the trophy just some weeks back. There is no need of blowing ones trumpet, but when you come into interaction with our products, only then you will know that the issue ofstandard is not anything to come by here. To the best of my knowledge, I took over in July 1, 2009 and there was no incidence of cultism. In fact, these students involved in this thing are our children. And it said that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop. When you leave these children unengaged and there is a distance between you and them, anything can happen. But as a father, I listen to them. The Dean of Students Affairs, who is here, is always around to attend to their needs. If these children take you as a father, they won’t think of doing other things of that nature. By the time they get proper counselling, all this things won’t be there. Some of your remedial students staged a demonstration to the Office of the Minister of Education some few days ago saying that you refused to place them after completing their remedial courses. What is really happening? In the first instance, admission into any institution is never automatic. I inherited these students. I was summoned to the ministry yesterday. But most of these students are not saying the truth. The issue of a remedial student to take and pass the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams is a national policy not the University of Abuja’s. I was happy yesterday when I went to the ministry to see the minister when I found out that the JAMB registrar was also there. The JAMB registrar had to inform the minister that the policy had been there since 2006. By the time he came in 2007, he decided to implement the policy. And the University of Abuja was caught. He said that the university pleaded and it was given a year of break- 2007/2008 session. The Senate also set up a committee to look into it. But this particular set who are now complaining, we had 2007 students who took the programme. We have the issue of our carrying capacity but that notwithstanding. The regulation is that whoever passes the JAMB as well as the remedial should be placed. The 1043 students who passed the JAMB and remedial had been placed. However, we had this group who deliberately refused to take JAMB and some of them took JAMB and failed. Still, they want to be placed. And in their admissions letter it was stated that you are advised to sit for JAMB. But out of mischief, these students said that they were not properly informed. I have already given directives to the Director of Remedial Studies that he shouldn’t collect the money of whoever doesn’t sit and pass JAMB. Another issue is even that are we sure that all those protesting were our former students? Some of them were there simply to portray the university administration in bad light. But I look at some of these things as the normal challenges of leadership and a sort of distraction. There are media reports that appointments of some staff of this university were arbitrarily terminated. A case in mind is that of the former Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the university who accused you of terminating his appointment without any recourse to the rule of law. What informed such decisions? The former chief security officer (CSO) was on contract. He was therefore a contract officer, whose contract has a tenure. I took over in July. And I saw a renewal of his contract on December 2 for a contract that terminated on August 27. I didn’t hear anything. There was no letter for me for any renewal. I took over in July, about five months later; precisely on December 2, I was presented with a letter that the vice chancellor has approved the renewal of the CSO’s contract. Which vice chancellor? I told them that I was never aware of this. Please withdraw the letter and terminate the contract. It was when that thing happened that I learnt that the former vice chancellor had renewed the contract on May 12, whereas his tenure ended on May 31. He renewed the contract on May 12, left on May 31 and there was an acting vice chancellor between June and July before I finally took over on July 31. And the CSO is the officer for the chief executive. And if his loyalty is not there, what happens? The former Vice Chancellor, Professor Nuhu Yaqoub, was in the media recently saying that there was a deliberate effort on your part to reverse his achievements. He specifically mentioned your granting of amnesty to some cultists expelled from the university as well as your refusal to relocate to the permanent site of the university. You were a deputy vice chancellor during his administration, what is really happening between you and your predecessor? The answer to that question is that people were misinterpreting the situation. First of all, let me start by what he is saying in the newspapers that I was playing with fire by bringing back cultists. I didn’t bring any cultist back. Igwe and Titi were former students’ leaders: President and vice President of the students union of this university respectively. They staged a peaceful demonstration. The charge against Igwe was that he proclaimed that he was the vice chancellor of the university. But was he the vice chancellor of the university? Frankly, these sorts of things never interest me. As I said earlier, I see them as distractive. It was these students’ union leaders; they were not expelled because of cultism. When I took over they wrote to me an appeal seeking their re-instatement. They have been writing and they have gone to courts several times but all their efforts to come back met brick walls. It was when they wrote to me, I am happy that I have evidence to testify to that that I took the matter to the Council on- notice. Surprisingly, I read in the newspapers the next day that I was bringing back cultists. Igwe, Titi and co were never expelled because of cultism. It was unionism. As you rightly said that I was the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) but they were not expelled during my time. And on the issue of my relationship with the former VC, I don’t think there is anything like sour relationship, honestly speaking. The Council granted him some things which are with him. The university driver is with him and he gets his fuel impress like I get the same amount; which since I took over I never denied him. So, where is the sour relationship? All I know is that he came for a national assignment, he completed it and the Council has granted him a one year sabbatical of which all entitlements were paid. Was there any time that the former VC forwarded any advice to you which was not used? And when did you meet each other last? The only time we met was when our students held their alumni meeting. We sat on the same table and we all left after that. Professor Isa Muhammed and Professor A.T. Suleiman were there. I was there and he were there. But they said you refused to move to the permanent site? That is a matter of policy. Where did you meet me now? I am in the permanent site. I have already conducted congregation this morning at the old site. Senate holds over there. I am here. The registrar is the secretary of the congregation and he is here. The bursar is here and the librarian is over there. And I have to attend the congregational meeting and all the people are there. Should I have to move them all here to conduct the meeting? I took that decision that the meeting should hold where the people are in the majority. I can’t expect people to be running here to meet me, whereas we have only one faculty here out of the 10. That is why I retained my office at the old site. |
