Because he did it doesn't make it right. Allahu a'alam

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) said the craze for the acquisition of higher degrees in the country had not impacted enough on national growth and transformation.

The chairman of the University of Lagos chapter of the union, Dr Dele Ashiru, made the assertion in an interview with our reporters on Saturday in Lagos.

According to him, the craze for higher degrees such as Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and others has not had any significant impact on the needs of the society.

He said rather than go after higher degrees; Nigerians should venture into technical and vocational studies for skills acquisition that would directly impact lives.

“Yes, it is desirable for the system to produce holders of higher degrees, especially PhDs, but PhDs for what?

“I think we should refocus and restructure our education system so that it will be more relevant to our society rather than award higher degrees.

“Come to think of it, all the people that have acquired PhDs in Nigeria, let us carry out a forensic audit of what they are giving back to the society.

“Most people are running after the acquisition of these degrees for selfish motives. They feel for instance, that it is a requisite for their progression in life or a ticket for fulfilled life,” he said.

He added that, regrettably, such development was only peculiar to a country like Nigeria.

Ashiru noted that the way out was to pump enough funds into the vocational and technical education as well as meaningful research for socio-economic and political development.

He said successful Nigerians who had acquired wealth legitimately or otherwise should pump part of such money into the education system.

“Government should also plough back all retrieved monies acquired by individuals through illegal means to the education sector.

“It it time for us to re-engineer, refocus and restructure the system.

“We must start our quest for accelerated national transformation with our education system, because no society can rise beyond the level of its education system,” the unionist said.

According to him, development is a concerted effort and only the people can develop themselves.

Telecommunications science is a 4 yours program and you are trained as a scientist mainly to carry out research and development better systems that address the challenge in the telecom industry..

while telecommunication Engineering is a 5 year program. you are trained as an engineer mainly to maintain, install and repair systems or hardware equipment. .

that's just my point of view, and depending on what you mean by firm background.

if you have OND or Hnd in computer science then you can't do telecommunication engineer. because you will be dealing with electrical hardware system and you need a strong background in electrical or electronic to do that ..

you can easily feat to telecommunication science because of your computer background in coding, and programming will not be a problem for you...

Thanks a billie

emmy4lov:
it all depends on your interest.
will you like to be called an engineer or a scientist.?

in my opinion, you can't compare a scientist and an engineer..

Annual salary of a telecommunication engineer is higher than that of a computer scientist.

As a computer scientist you can easily work from home, train your self, and also do your studies on part time lectures in most Nigeria unis but Telecom is full time, straight 5 years, and you have to be on site for technical training..

In terms of risk. telecommunication engineers are more exposed to risk they climb mast and high towers and sometimes they are exposed to harmful radiation, computer scientist is decent, you are on your computer 24/7 coding and debugging ..

training.
computers science is 4 years and telecommunication engineering is 5 years.

so if you like a decent job with low risk.. computer Science.
if you like hardware and you have passion for designing and installing communication systems... telecommunication engineering. .

I would like you help distinguish between Telecommunication engineering and Telecommunication Science. I have firm background in computer science already, I'm advised to choose Telecom science for better chance with admission.

We have a group for Unilorin aspirants already, and its not course based

What about computer science aspirants?

chukwukapromise:
hmm,..Still okay though! but not that perfect

I need advise should I go ahead and purchase the change of institution now or wait for luck

chukwukapromise:
of course there is hope, but dat's only if you have Good connection!....If you don't please Get a change of institution!....By d way u did'nt drop ur 0level result!

English c6
Maths b2
F.maths b3
Chemistry c6
Physics c4

I scored 218 and I want to study computer science in unilorin. Any hope or I should just buy change of institution?

Any girl that doesn't have one single female friend has a very questionable personality. Probably narcissism...

You're wrong... Software developers are always perceived to act odd. I don't have friends too because I can't deal with them.

I saw this just now.
