Please oblige.

Good day people, i have been an admirer of this thread. My name is Andrew and I have a question which has been on my mind: i love accounting and i want to be a lecturer and a professor in the course but due to financial constraints I want to 'diversify' a little and do a PGD In Financial Mgt(i have a B.Sc in Edu/Acc) and then do a M.Sc in Business Admin and then move to Ph.D In Accounting(If I am permitted but if not I can settle for M.Phil before Ph.D). So my question is can I still lecture in Accounting with all these "diversifications"? "Seniors" in the house please respond. Thanks in anticipation.

I great everyone here.
Pls I need advice. I have a degree in electrical and Electronic Engineering. I have applied for masters 4 times but was denied each time. Maybe unlucky but I now my poor cgpa contributed hugely to this, I had 2.6. I applied to a particular school 3 times.
I am doing an msc in information technology in NOUN but want to still come back to electrical cause I know I love it my result is just a badluck.
Do you think I should continue with info tech or go back to elect. I am planning to do a PHD where I can make it fast. Which one amog the two is more lucrative. Thanks

please, i need help with this book.

congratulations. aiming for PhD depends on your career path. however, I will advice you to proceed with your PhD in federal or state universities rather at NOUN. This is for future reference so that you won't be clamouring and protesting against discrimination.

Anyone here doing/done with PhD in Biostatistics in any University abroad?

Looking at FUTA presently.

It is true.

To make your way into academic, you need to possess a 2:1 (minimum requirement for a Graduate Assistant). You will be required to obtain a Masters degree withing four years of appointment.

If you do not have a 2:1, you will need a 2:2, a masters degree and a PhD. With that, you can be employed as Lecturer 2.

Please are u sure?
is it not possible to get a lecturing job with a 2.2 @ Bsc and A distinction in MSc?

Masters is a requirement to become an Assistant Lecturer with evidence of registration in a PhD programme. QED

I'm pretty sure. A PhD is required with a 2.2 in BSc (even if you have the best result in your MSc).

jeebz:
Masters is a requirement to become an Assistant Lecturer with evidence of registration in a PhD programme. QED

I'm not sure where you are getting your information from. You haven't even demonstrated anything yet you use QED.

Let me guide you.

Lecturing begins with Lecturer2. A number of Universities have the policy of offering employment to their first class graduate (some are stricter and will only employ the best graduating first class student). Some people will be employed as Graduate Assistant even if they dont have a first class, provided they have a 2.1 degree. Now these Graduate Assistants are given four years to obtain their masters degree (or they may be shown out of the system). Such staff are never regularized without a masters degree. Once they obtain the degree, they are promoted to Assistant Lecturer. Thats how it works.

If you dont have a 2.1, you need a masters degree and a PhD (not evidence of enrollment in a PhD program) to be appointed. With that, you will be appointed Lecturer2 (skipping the Graduate Assistant and Assistant Lecturer stages). Why listen to me? What do I know anyway? How about we ask Prof Julius Okojie. He ought to know something about it.

Public and private universities in Nigeria were recently reminded by Professor Julius Okojie, Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, that by 2009 all lecturers must possess a doctoral degree - or lose their jobs. This directive, supported by the federal government, has generated a great deal of controversy in and outside higher education. But both supporters and opponents of the idea are unanimous about one thing - to prevent instability and uncertainty in the fragile university system, the qualifications deadline should be extended to allow affected academics to obtain their PhDs.

In an address to the Association and Committee of Vice Chancellors, the NUC's Okojie referred to a regulation called the Benchmark Minimum Academics Standard, or BMAS, which relates to the basic qualification a university teacher must possess. He said :

"If you don't have a PhD, you cannot teach. It has been an old regulation in the university system. If you graduate with a first class or second class upper, we take you as a graduate assistant. You are a trainee fellow. You are not a lecturer. When you earn your masters, you become an assistant lecturer. You are still not a lecturer.

"A lecturer is an examiner. The day you obtain your PhD, even if you have never worked before, your first appointment is lecturer grade two. What has happened in the past is that because of the dearth of PhD holders, universities employed those with mature masters as a lecturer grade two." However, Okojie added, an academic without a PhD is not an examiner and is excluded, among other things, from board of examiners' meetings.

Take note, it is the PhD that will cure the defect of the BSc. Some time ago it used to be that a 2.2 could be cured by an MSc. Those days are gone. The only time that your registration in a PhD program will be relevant is where you have a 2.1 in the first place.

Yes, serious Universities follow these guidelines in employing Lecturers today.

Now, about those three Lecturer1s, one scenario is that they came into the system a lot earlier (ie before the strict enforcement of the policy)and just stagnated. There are examples of Professors who dont have PhDs. Perhaps they were granted a moratorium along the way.

Another scenario is that they came in with a 2.1 and a Masters and so they started from Graduate Assistant/Assistant Lecturer up to where they are currently. Trust me when I say that they can never reach the rank of Senior Lecturer without a PhD.

Thank you very much. I made enquires from someone very current, a "Professor" and found out that you can be taken with evidence of PhD registration after your MSc and if your Bsc grade was second class lower. Although what you explained here is very correct and accurate, as it will give you a better edge. But it happens that people are still taken without completion of PhD as a criteria.........
Thank you dear...

You're welcome.

The answer to the question remains that a Bsc holder with an MSc and evidence of registration in a PhD field can get employed into the Assistant Lecturer cadre. I also posted a vacancy in State University to back my claims.

there's a lecturer in my school who graduated with a 2.2 and only has a master degree.. He won the best research paper during his master program in Netherlands

It is possible to get a lecturing job with a 2.2 as a GA without even an MSc. It may be difficult in some schools though (due to partial autonomy the universities enjoy and, perhaps, departmental staff strength).

Any class of degree with an MSc (without a University teaching experience) is qualified for an AL. Fresh PhDs without any teaching experience are qualified for L2 and PhDs with teaching experience in polytechnics and colleges are employed as L1.

Rules vary from school to school but this is the NUC approved standard.
