Forest economics is a course...... Wow

What an intimidating CV.

Nice CV

I pray that your own tenure will make life comfortable for the students and workers.
#UNIOSUN

Congratulations!

The appointed VC resembles the old Yoruba film actor, "Alabi Yellow"

Finally we have a VC but what about Prof Alamu. Make I go tell Guru9ja

what a very useless cv. He has been a professor, studied here and there, member of this member of that. He's is a waste.... Why?


What is his contribution to the current situation Nigeria.

Has he improved the forestry situation of Nigeria.

He's just a professor who has been reading without any meaningful contribution to the society.


Modified: To all of you criticizing my notion, This is my reason.

The problem we have in ds country
today is that we place so much emphasis on the formal education, certificates and awards, yet nothing meaningful to show for the education papers.
The colonial masters made sure we are kept in that bondage for long.
I.e if you are not educated in what they call 'formal' setting, then you are nothing.

Take a look at the Britain.... The have 'sirs' who are conferred sirs just because of the contributions they've sown in the society.

Imagine this new vc..
its still a menance in the society that we have deforestation, how many parks do we have in Nigeria?
forests in Nigeria cannot even make good tourism center. What a shame!

We still have ministers who have read all the books yet they cant turn around the recession.

I've read all ur comments though and insults too, but i think i reserve my right to fend my argument.

Congrats!

Forestry!! Osogbo weed will be now be of quality

those days sha.... OKUKU CAMPUS WAS D BOMB.... my Alma mater.

Okay! My Alma mater got a new VC today,
Many didn't notice, well his CV shows he had a 2.2 (Second Class Lower division) while in his undergraduate study but later he became a post graduate scholar at the University of Ibadan and today he's the first class academic of a whole university. Whatsoever situation you find yourself, there's a reason and a greater plan God's mapping out...


what I said may not be meaningful to you, don't quote me. save your stress. just Hit the like and share to inspire someone who's about to give up on life. When it's your time, nothing shall stop you.


Get the inspiration there, Good evening

MR VC.....YOU ARE WELCOME TO HUNGER LAND...home of weeds
