Only in the North! Where else can a man come with a PhD in 2007 and become HOD in 2008??
It might be possible..if he has enough research work and publications( let's not dwell much on d naija connection factor that mayb aided him to) to qualify him for such positions. The truth is that many senior lecturers deserve to b prof shortly after their phd but itz jes wtickedness of d system that denies them,so let's not take the abnormality in our university system as d norm.. he might hav deserved it,u neva can tell....also if most or all of d senior lecturers are on sabbatical, or holding other positions within d skul,it could be possible for him to b HOD..once in my skul, A prof was on sabbatical,another was d DVC,another prof of my dept was d dean,while 2 senior lecturers were out of d country for post doc, it was a young PhD holder (lecturer 2) (less than a year he bagged d phd) that was acting as d HOD..

Bro, but in one year? I don't grudge him any accolade due to him, but I do know that the HOD appointment in any sane institution is a managerial role! One needs to understand the pulse of the staff and students!

Sir your method of reasoning is backward. People should be promoted base on competence not number of years of experience. How many a times have we seen young lecturers far better than old ones.

In fact, it's not only abroad. Adebayo Adedeji became a Professor at the then Uniife (now OAU) at the age of 36.

From what I read, he was never in Nigeria since 2001 until 2007. The system in this country is "get at least a foreign degree and see the door of professorship opening for you to enter". Me na John Hopkins, Imperial Col or Edinburgh I go do PhD. Make haters no vex wen I bcom d VC of UNN at 35yrs ooooooo.

If you were a lecturer, you would be a sadist. So a person that has a Phd must have to wait for 10 yrs before he can be an HOD? Its people like you that do say ' because I had a B in this course during my undergraduate days, no student can ever have an A'.
won't just castigate him. a year to become a hod just because you had PhD is just ridiculous. i still believe that there are a lot of qualified lecturers that would have taking that position if not tribalism. all the same, congrats to him. this is achievement.

Yes oh only in the north. In fact they are waiting for him to finish his phd so that they will make him HOD. Come to uniport and try that. My project supervisor who got his phd in 2007 with over 28 scholarly articles and journal both in Nigeria and international is still not a senior lecturer in UNIPORT. Can this young Professor boost of 20 scholarly articles and journals Only in the north....... In UNIPORT you most be a senior lecturer before you dream of professorship when you most have gotten the requirements for professorship.

did you search for his researches and didn't find one? some people just come here feeling like they know it all. what about osinbajo that became a professor at 33, how many years did it take him to elevate from being a doctor to professor.

He was assistant lecturer for just a year and he traveled in 2001 up till 2007. He became HOD in 2008, based on his resume, he does not have the required experience and leadership needed to manage such post. HOD is not only about academics, its involve delegation, administration, etc. which he clearly didn't have as at 2008.

my brother its not too short...in more developed countries people get professorships in shorter periods, in the southwest, its victimisation and politics that ensures you hav grey hair b4 u get professorship.

the North has very crazy cut offs for both common entrance and jamb. with a cut off of 5 or 7, northern kids can gain admission into secondary schools, while in the east, it's about 130 cut off point. same for jamb. who is fooling who? Northerners deceiving themselves since 1914.

I agree with you on the foreign degree. During my IT in a research institute, a dude that just finished his Msc abroad was taking to head an important department. The worst thing was that the guy was very proud. He invite us (it students) to the defence of one of his paper in the institute. Na so every body gang up against am, they faulted everything he did including the manner he presented is references. I felt pity for the guy.

that he got his phd in 2007 does not mean he was away for d whole 7 years...it takes a year to get a masters, in d uk, it takes 24-30months to get a phd. he must have had time in between hus masters and phd to get d needed experience.

It is not stated in the resume posted, why do you have to assume to justify your point? The time he spent abroad was clearly stated in the publication. He came back in 2007 and became a HOD in 2008!
