I'd love to impact knowledge. I hope to own a secondary school someday. I have a B.Sc in chemistry, I want to pick a Master form at university of uyo. I want to study Public health or pharmacology but someone said I won't be employed as a lecturer if I have a first degree in chemistry and an MSC in another course. Advice please!...... . Must I continue with chemistry??

Ur first and second degree must be fro the same dept eg Bsc Chemistry and Msc Chemistry or any field within Chemistr.

Why do Nigerians like creating unnecessary barriers for themselves and others? A friend did Engineering in his BSc, went to abroad and did MSc n PhD in Chemistry. Today he is an associate prof in PHYSICS dept in the country he ddid his PhD. Why cant someone with a BSc in chem master in public health n teach same? Who makes this policies if such exist at all?

Its so annoying eh... I really doubt if such protocols exist.

I sincerely doubt if this rule is real...
my then 100l phy lecturer was a mathematics graduate, But did his msc in physics.. and now lectures in physics..

following..

The issue is that u stand a better chance to lecture in a Nigerian university if ur first and second degree are fro the same dept. And b4 u head a dept, ur first and second degree must be fro the same discipline. That's way u see some lecturer having 2 or 3 msc just to key in

I'm very sorry about that. I didn't note that. But do u have idea when it's most likely to be out?

So annoying policy,I m faced with the same dilemma

What about someone that had a 3rd class. Does the person still have a chance of pursuing a career as a lecturer.

Yes, u can. I use to have a woman professor who had a 3rd class from UI biochemisty. And today had a phd in Organic chemistry. I don't even know how people get their information that u can not switch fields and become a lecturer in such field. Only that such fields must be closely related. Have seen a Prof of Business Admin with accounting first degree. Yes! My dean in postgraduate school had a Economics first degree and today, he is a dean of faculty of management comprising of Accounting, Marketing, finance, Business Admin and Personel Management. Today, he is a professor of Marketing.

Dear sister, get ur pgd, do ur msc, get a good phd grade and u sail thru to a phd class. A cousin had Third class from OAU Microbiology, she returned back, had her pgd in a year, obtained another form for Msc, finished it in a record time of 2yrs at same Great Ife. Today, she lecturers in a Private Uni with good salary and good car while running her phd at the same OAU. Determination is everything, you can always correct the mistake of the past.

Please I need your advice and wayforward. I am presently a final year student of Ekiti state university in Nigeria and I look forward to pursuring a career in lecturing. My discipline is actually economics education and on a 3.8cgpa, i would appreciate any form of advice on what to do and what not to do. Thank you
