Cngrts. Job wll done JEG

imaginee!!! creating more universities, where the money to maintain them? the guy never fulfil his promises to ASUU ooo. all his aim is to create more expenses for his successor.

Nigeria needs more universities. I can not imagine there aren't up to 2,000 universities(Ivy leagues) and 1,000 other higher institutions of learning in a nation with such a huge population. *Ptui!

In your dumbest brain, College of Edu only produces Teachers?? God will heal you oo #former lagos State 1st Lady, Oluremi Tinubu finished from Adeyemi College Of Education and was never a teacher!!!

I think something is not right about this action of the govenment. A university is supposed to be an institution of higher learning that has more than one faculty. Once it is a 'one-faculty' institution it is called a college. So a college that produces only teachers cannot be rightly named a university unless more faculties are being added.[/quote]

U these small small kids that have taken over nairaland.

These senseless decisions to arm-twist the incoming Buhari government a week to his exit! God dey...

How well have the existing universities been funded? Even the first-generation universities are not well off, let alone the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation universities and daft Jonathan has added his own 5th and 6th generation mushroom village schools as upgraded universities...

This decision is so myopic (as most of daft Jonathan's decisions). The mushroom 12 universities he established are glorified secondary schools, now he has added additional 5!

Senselessness and Jonathan always exist together!

One legacy of Otunba Gbenga Daniel in education. He introduced d first university of education in Nigeria(Tasued). When is KADPOLY getting it

With a population approaching 170million people, Nigeria needs at least 50 more universities that can take up to 50,000 students each. A well-educated population is very easier to govern than a population of mostly dumbos.

Rilwayne001:
The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the conversion of four federal colleges of education to universities.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the council, presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.

Minister of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, and Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau, briefed State House correspondents of the meeting’s outcome.

Shekarau listed the affected colleges of education as Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo (now Adeyemi University of Education, Ondo); Federal College of Education, Zaria (now Federal University of Education, Zaria); Federal College of Education, Kano (now Federal University of Education, Kano);and Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri (now Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri).

The minister explained that the colleges of education were part of the 21 federal colleges of education that had been awarding degree programmes in the last three decades under the close supervision of the different universities they are affiliated to.

He said the council considered the need for further quality in teaching service, hence the conversion of the colleges to universities since more graduates would be needed in the teaching profession.

“We are heading to having more graduates in the teaching profession and hence the need for these universities to produce graduates in education. If we need quality education, we need quality teachers,” he said.

Shekarau explained that the next step was for the Ministry of Justice to prepare amendment to the laws establishing the colleges.

This, he explained, would be followed by some administrative changes.

The minister added that the council had approved the establishment of the Federal University of Health Sciences in Otukpo, Benue State.

Until the approval, the university was said to be the College of Medical Health Sciences under the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi.

He said the institution had now been granted autonomy as part of continuous efforts to ensure quality graduates into the various fields of medicine and sciences.

“So, a total of five universities were approved at the council meeting today,” the minister added.
