Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi,
has offered to teach some courses in the
post-graduate school at the Ekiti State
University, Ado-Ekiti.
Fayemi said this
on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti at the 17th
convocation lecture of the institution.
The governor said he had started discussing
with the vice chancellor of the university
and the Department of Political Science on
his readiness to impart knowledge to the
students.
He said, “Apart from occupying the
position of the Visitor of this University, I
also want to play a more active role. Many
will recall my campaign promise to teach in
the university.
“I have been in discussion with the school
on plans to start a graduate course in my
field of Peace and Conflict Studies. So very
soon, don’t be surprised if you see me in
your class.”
Fayemi, who holds doctorate degree in War
Studies from the King’s College, University
of London had earlier lectured at the Police
Training College.
“I am not unaware that the major
complaints of public institutions centre on
inadequate funding. While this is true, it
would however be unacceptable to this
government should the Ekiti State
University be attracted to the temptation of
using this as an excuse for failure to meet
its obligations as required,” he added.
Also at the event, the Vice-President of
Ghana, Dr. John Mahama, challenged
Nigeria to use its abundant human and
natural resources to lead other African
countries to economic prosperity.
The Director General of the United Nations
Industrial Development Organisation, Dr.
Kandeh Yumkella; and former Vice
Chancellor of the University of Ibadan,
Prof. Tekena Tamuno, were also conferred
with honorary doctorate degrees of the
university.
