All those copy and paste profs? They are part of our problems in this country. Instead of teaching to be creative and be a problem solver, they prefer you just cram and paste their note
How can they teach to be creative if they don't engage in research? The problem is not these individuals that copy and paste to become professors but the system that allows them to! One that isn't creative in the first place can't teach to be creative. And you cant rule out research in the drive to enhance and promote creativity because that is what leads to the development of innovative products and processes that are marketable and also affords first hand knowledge for the researcher. To address the copy and past issue, there should be checks put in place like plagiarism check, research relevance (whether or not it is obsolete), etc. With these strong checks in place, anyone that by-passes them is a criminal and should be sacked and probably also arrested!

Anybody who believes this list is as dumb as the Op. How can a university not have a single professor? Yet they've been graduating students from the institution.
Op go do your research before I vex tear you slap.
ESUT, no professor indeed. I hear you!.
I no fit count how many dey my faculty alone sef..
Cool down sis, you're already dishing out insults, not good. You yourself shouldn't have believed that a school with 0 prof was assessed!

If that is the case then why did someone who find it difficult to understand O'level physics get admitted in the first place? Majority of our schools have a screening process that assume that nobody with a standard, world class educational background (perhaps a foreign student) will apply!

Good one, but let's nt forget that prof. Is appointment by university, some got prof after 8 year of their Ph.D or less. , and some levture after Ph.D. For 30 years without one, ( it's jst like army , where ur work takes u to is col. The rest are base on appointment )
Let me speak from unilorin , many Dr leave becos dey refuse to give dem prof, and imidiately dey get to their new uni, dey giv dem, if u want me to name example, I can name 7, and we have some who still forget abt the politics and stay, Geology dept, is my case studies,
I stand to be corrected.... Jst my opinion
If it's by years, then it's very bad. It has to do with academic achievement which is weighed on the impact of one's research works. Just that greater academic accomplishments take more years to achieve. However you will find few exceptional cases. If your school give it based on the years after you got your PHD, even if it's after 30yrs, you school will produce a lot a mediocre profs that can't stand side by side with their peers in other parts of the world or even have the pedigree to deliver a lecture in a standard school!
Re: Nigerian Universities With The Highest Number Of Professors - NUC by cbngov01(m): 9:27pm On Apr 13, 2017
Fake and useless list!!! How can u say Abia State University has no prof or associate prof?! Back in 2010 when I graduated I could count more than 10profs and a lot of associate profs with loads of doctors I'm sure would have become associate profs by now at least! A dreamed up list I suppose! Proudly ABSU #reppinGODSownUni

You made a good point but again, it;s government that should consult them and not them running to government. Now let me ask you a question, if a school comes up with a research, with a stern warning on the detriment of a government intended policy, will the government heed? Besides almost everything in this country is becoming unnecessarily politicized and tribalized, including our comments on Nairaland!

How wil u be a Dr and u don't want to do research , I think I wil need to mention names here, when u talk of best sedimentologist in Nigeria u can't count 3 before u metion O.j Ojo. With many research and journals still unilorin refuse to giv him prof. And he left for another skul, and he's nw a prof, 2. Ask any geology dr or prof in any skul in Nigeria if they knw Dr Bale, after many years of politic he got prof last year after 30 yrs as Dr.
If it's base on research u can type these name on google and see their achievements, and stil there was many politics in the skul,
So it's not by research or ur will,
Some score don't jst like giving it out like that, maybe base on salary or so.
And stil knw of plenty Dr. Dat left another dept also , during my stay.

Why are you stating imaginary statistic just to underscore your sentiment. Kindly post a single link to verify your claim.

By the way are you a student of OAUhuh If yes, why pretend not to be aware of your large student population, even an informed hazard guess will not give that figure you stated.

Now see what the following links have to say (pictures attached)!

OAU Website: over 26,000 follow link: http://www.oauife.edu.ng/research/ (see pic!)
Wikipedia: about 35,000 follow link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obafemi_Awolowo_University (see pic!)
4ICU profile (periodically updated by the school): about 29,999 follow link: http://www.4icu.org/reviews/3456.htm

Don't mislead people!
Stop nitpicking

Why didn't the OAU website say over 27,000? Why over 26,000?
41cu said 25,000-29,000. You said 29,000 huh huh
Wikipedia always give highly approximate figures. Never bank on that.

The school's website says about 26,000 which is a farcry (9000) increment from your 35,000.

4icu said 25,000 to 29,000. You said 29,000

You just cherry-picking the largest figure to prove a point.

You are the one trying to mislead people.

I have read at least 2 offline publications where the then VC broke down the exact population with exact number of male and female students. It was about 25,000

I am 100% sure of what I am saying.

313/25,000 = 1/79.87

To give you the benefit of the doubt

313/29,000 (which we both know isn't true) = 1/ 92.65

How is Covenant University's 1/99 ratio better than this?

You just shot yourself in the foot with your links.

TheVictorious:
I'm sure you read why he didn't include any private school here or did you avoid thathuh

Now before you continue to display your ignorance; profiles of all teaching and non teaching staff are listed on CU website. Let us do a quick check....

Open the website and check colleges, for each of the 5 listed check each department and click on staff list/profile, count the Profs and PHDs and make a sound comparison with your "great" OAU.

For Professors

College of Business and Social Sciences - 24 Follow link: http://covenantuniversity.edu.ng/Colleges/CBSS#.WO9YFfkrK01
College of Engineering - 24 Follow link: http://covenantuniversity.edu.ng/Colleges/COE#.WO9sofkrK00
College of Leadership Devt. Studies - 11 Follow link: http://covenantuniversity.edu.ng/Colleges/CLDS#.WO9XlfkrK00
College of Science & Technology - 33 Follow link: http://covenantuniversity.edu.ng/Colleges/CST#.WO9XmPkrK00

Total Professors: 92

Total no. of students by combined no. of available bed spaces: 9150 Link: http://covenantuniversity.edu.ng/About-Us/Student-Affairs#.WO9ev_krK00

Professor/student Ratio: 92/9150 = 1/99.46

So CU Professor-student ratio is approximately 1:100!


Now Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU)

Professors: 313 (you're really celebrating 313 profs for OAU??)
Students: over 35,000. (from Wikipedia). Even though we both know it's much higher than 40,000 by mere yearly admission statistics and total graduands each year. Let's still use 35K anyway.
Professor/student Ratio: 313/35000 = 1/111.82

So OAU Professor-student ratio is approximately 1:112!

Now, University of Ibadan (UI)

Professors: 292 (you're really celebrating 292 profs for UI?? SMH for you!)
Students: over 33,000. (from Wikipedia). Once again, we both know it's much higher than 40,000 by mere yearly admission statistics and total graduands each year. Let's still use 33K anyway.
Professor/student Ratio: 292/33000 = 1/113.01

So UI Professor-student ratio is approximately 1:113!.

I think you should be ashamed of yourself if you are comparing the professorship strength of such a new school with schools that have been since the days of Methuselah.

Besides, We all know that if we should start talking about the population of students of most of our federal universities at any given time, you should be talking of nothing less than 50 thousand and above. Don't be surprised if that of ABU, UNN, UniMaid and NOUN is close to 100,000 by now. So what the hell are you talking abouthuh

Cc: SoftP
Lol, you are funny..
Most of your prof must be a visiting lecturer, so get that into your skull, they are not a full time prof. in your school.

You actually have a point. Most students struggle with even basic physics and cringe away from practicals and real life projects.


But still, IF the educational system is revamped and brought up to date; students WILL adapt. It might be hard, it might be tough but.... They will.
