How does being a professor translate to competence?

A persons experience defines what the person is competent eneough to manage thats why most jobs now would require experience in a field similar to the job applied. Its the rational logic everywhere in the world. I guess you can compare competence between a Journalist and a professor on the same platform. On what basis, if I may ask you? The professor is clearly more experienced and competent for the role.

Experience is acquired through training, practice and/or research. That he is a professor does not make him a competent administrator. Adamu Adamu, I understand, has researched and written on our educational sector and proffered solutions to some of the problems we have. It is time for him to prove his mettle. If being a professor equates to competence, why didn't the previous professors make an impact in the education sector? Why was Shekarau and Oby made ministers of education when we had "competent" professors? Indeed it is being propounded today in some quarters that the best minister of education we had in our recent history is Oby, where are the professors?
