very well said but do we really need the office of the precisency to issue such directive not to talk of setting up a panel to look into it. Why do the have VC, Den of Deans, Dean of faculties, HOD's, etc? True, there is corruption but not everyone is completely corrupt.
I remembered very well that in Ife there is always a verification process done during and admission process and in 300L anyone caught will not even be called upon to defend his case!

greatlee: lol, has he suddenly forgotten his duties? where is the education minister?

Bontee:

The university staff where suppose to take care of this so how will unqualified students gain entry if it has not been compromised from the inside?. The president is asking the ministry of education as an external body to fix it because the problem stems from the internal admission process. The corruption in that country stinks to high heavens and runs down through the veins of every individual there and even unborn babies self.

sammirano:

you post displayed how ignorant and thoughtless you are, because matters like this shouldn't on the top priority list of the president of the U.S which everything there is set he is just maintaining the country not to talk of the president of Nigeria who boko haram is trying to seize the country from him.

At least 9 layers of authority failed, and the 10th authority, the President of a whole nation, has to step in to ensure expulsion of unqualified students?!

How can we progress when the President that should be consumed with big, strategic matters of the nation concerns himself with petty matters like dishonest university students.

This is serious o!

noblezone: I did my NYSC at ABU Zaria.

It was during Abacha and Mamam Kantangora was appointed as sole administrator of ABU.

some of corper mates who graduated from ABU, was recalled from their locations to be informed that they were never students of ABU let alone Youth Corpers.

Admission racket was going on (and it is still going on). Students who did not get the required minimum credits end up getting admitted. This is part of the problem, our admin officers and lecturers are so corrupt that Unqualified candidates are admitted. Such students are easy recruits to cultism and all manner of junks we find in our schools today.

I think Mr. President wants to get us back on track. I commend him for this and I wish him and his team well. may they succeed in their dream to get Nigeria back on track.

As for most comments, I have concluded that most of nairaland users are just kids. If not in age, then kids in their mind. I have stated it loud and clear that corruption is not only at the seat of governments. Today, parents pay mercenaries to write exam for their children, and if care is not taken, such children are here on Nairaland, discussing "National Politics". It is a shame.

noblezone:

When the school administration has failed, the President is right to remind them their duties.

In Rivers State, Amechi sacked Principals who came late to school.

magicfrogg: He's a stupid dog. What's d yardstick for good student!

akinwaleok:

yeye man, let him flush boko haram first before the unqualified students. He was once unqualified student

werepeLeri: Most people in here are extremely daft.

Opoki:
But will this method brings an end to the so called "Unqualified" students from gaining admission?
Will this same committee be set-up in hundreds of Universities all around the country? I think it would have been better if those NASU staffs admitting the said "Unqualified" student are arrested, have their name printed on National Dailes and dismissed from service without entitlement to serve as deterrant to others and also put in place scientific method of check-mating this act in other institution.
Not by setting-up a committee!

noblezone:
Also, Boko haram is not trying to seize the country from Mr. President because the country is not his personal property. We all know what has been happening in Nigeria since it was invented by Lord Luggard, blaming Jonathan for the crimes against humanity committed by the Jihardists is pure irresponsibility. The butchery industry of Northern Nigeria did not start with Jonathan and will not stop with him. Mohammed the founder of Islam butchered, Usman Dan Fodio the father of Islam in Nigeria butchered, and the story continues...

musKeeto: This GEJs got more imaginary enemies than MFM members..

Danka7777: Another way to chop money. Kai Nigeria! Set up committees? What you guys don't know is that the presidency has already calculated to make 2billion from this. Ask me how? These unqualified students who presumably bribed their way into college, will now have to bribe these committees members, and the these committees members will then turn around and remit half of the bribes to the presidency. This is Niger for you! Money circulation
