I think felictorx is right to some extent. For Postgraduate students, OAU should be the last option. It is a No-No. Though they have sound lecturers but consider these turn-offs: 1) Your thesis won't add any point to your grade...it is just done like that, unlike other universities where it like 6 unit course. So, to attain your Ph.D. grade is totally based on coursework---such system is poor. 2) Lack of Ph.D. grade (60) means you will have to do Mphil...and OAU MPhil is close to 2 years (who have time to waste a whole two years. Why is it a waste? See the third point) 3) MPhil is not convertible to Ph.D., unlike U.I where there is MPhil/Ph.D. (After your MPhil, you will apply for Ph.D. afresh. 4) A lot of 'Bureaucracy' and red tapes...That's where you see Form A, E, F, Abstract, K, and the likes, each having its useless and unnecessary time-wasting procedures 5) Form A, for instance, will have to go to the department (you correct mistakes after it is returned to you), leave for the department (come back and correct mistakes)...while your mates in other schools are convocating... the same process till Faculty, Postgraduate College, and then your Oral Interview can be fixed. God help you if you don't have a good supervisor. I still have folks who are still there since 2014. 6) Other forms go through the same process as above....before your thesis is accepted whereas in some universities...you do your thesis and submit, and those forms do not add one value to your life. 7) When your mates are convocating and moving on with their lives, you are still doing your program in OAU..growing old... With the points above, if you still decide to go for your PG programs in OAU (especially Masters and PH.D., well, that's your own business...do not say I don't tell you.) Just that, in some departments, you can easily get admission, unlike U.I...If you like these disadvantages, then find a way to beat the system, but not possible, especially the grade aspect Cc Statsocial, emmasege, HeyHey, ssuccess, Noble4life 6 Likes |

I had my BSc. Botany from OAU. It was a wonderful experience in all ramifications. Though, we spent more sessions than anticipated, but WE CAME OUT BETTER, RUGGED and VERSATILE! currently running my Post graduate in UNILAG... very fast, less demanding, less stressful BUT MORE MODERN researches, cost demanding, Modern and useful to society and cool experience. The way I read ehn, so alien to UNILAG... good student- lecturer rapport (far better than OAU), More fund and finance opportunities (UNILAG gets foreign grants alot)... And LABOUR MARKET oriented (oau train us like monster with only scholastic researches)... A combination of OAU and UNILAG is a top notch. I don't like UI tho 3 Likes |

I completed my program last year.l spent four semesters for the program amidst three strikes. God favoured me with a supervisor that has time for me. Their program is in three phases. d first phase is d coursework, the second phase is the research and third phase is the form processing. d third phase is craziest (form a,e,f & abstract). 5 Likes 1 Share |

You guys should stop blaming yourselves.It is a Nigeria factor.It is either there is strike for one stupid reason or the other OR the student can't cope with the lecturer high level of reasoning OR the lecturer is not always available when the student needs his attention.In most cases students don't really know the mechanics behind thesis.After your first semester exams you should be able to have your thesis proposal ready.(If you are used to copy and paste techniques you may likely spend additional 2 years). 1 Like |

Guys, come to ABU Zaria if you want to be a good researcher. Thesis here is more than superb. All u need in ABU is ability to withstand pressure, be prayerful to have supervisors that will be on sit and you must be 100% full time student. Belief me, within two years you are done wt ur MSc and 3yrs for PHd 2 Likes |

My academic mentor and project supervisor did all his programs at OAU, BSC MSC, PHD. One of the earlierst tips he gave me is "avoid OAU", why? they will waste your life. I think he spent 5-6years on his PhD I know someone will come and say he did not know what he was doing; dude was best in his class during MSc and got an AAPG award on his MS research I don't know of other departments o.... but white house (OAU Geoscience)is legendary!!! when u see that department just flee... am not oau product but i know 50% of their lecturers; they are just notorious and that is also the best geoscience department in the country, has to be said felictorx: 4 Likes 1 Share |

felictorx:OAU delays a whole lot, true, but I'd tell you that the school would leave you with certain things that are not taught within classroom walls. Almost every graduate had it rough but in the end it is worth it. My time in the school was not different from most undergrads, student Union strikes, non teaching staff strikes, Mojo strike, etc., all shaped and forged me and several others into people who cannot be shoved aside in the real world. If I'm to walk the walk again, it would be OAU all over again. 2 Likes |

oldfoolnigger: Our institutions are in very terrible states but unfortunately, alumni wouldn't ever agree to the fact whenever it's been discuss. Every school in Nigeria today is so far behind. Imagine the alumni of the school jumping over the thread chanting and insisting "stress" is the order of the day in the institution? Must we be stressed out to learn? what is wrong with us in this part of the world? These guys disgust me with their ways of reasoning. We have friends abroad and we as well read a lot on the Internet. Must you be a prey to bedbugs, get intimidated and harassed unduly and do some unreasonable things to be knowledge? Alas, the products of the said institution pride themselves in ignorance of the grand scheme of things. It's speaks volume of the danger which abounds if this pattern of reasoning is what our best schools imbibe in their alumni. 5 Likes 1 Share |
