I doubt if she would have been able to get this degree at the university of Ibadan at such a young age. Anyway good luck to her.

That's because the government systems in Nigeria is sadistic.

The official residential time for PhD is Nigeria is 3 years.

So, it's unethical for any wicked lecturer and school to hold you beyond that.

I finished my PhD in SA like a joke, still that school is among the top 10 in Africa. Rated higher than UI.

Our universities need to step up.

It's all about money

Make I hear say u attend public Nigerian schools and you can achieve this.

Let's assume she finished secondary school at 14.

She attended a foreign university and spent 3years (there are courses abroad that are 3 years. Our overhyped architecture of 4-5 years is 3years in UK)

So at 17 she did Msc of two years and finished at 19.

Six years after she completed her PhD. (how many years is PhD?)

I'm sure she's just about to go for NYSC.

I repeat It's all about money !!!!
is it not better than spending the whole years in school

Congrats to the young researcher. She deserves another round of applause. Only those who have passed through the hurdles will appreciate what she has more especially at her age.

Prof Alonge while delivering a lecture to PhD candidates in one of the departments in UI said sometimes ago, "If at some point, one doesn't feel like abandoning the programme, then it's not PhD".

It's true that Nigerian public universities tend to be unnecessary "harder" and delay PhD candidates, however, one can still finished PhD at public universities in Nigeria at 25 depending on the age the person was first admitted into the University. In UI, some students still finished PhD in record time such as three or four years. It is however, important to stress that the duration of PhD completion is not as important as the impact of the PhD itself and the long term growth of the holders.

it is also important to state that PhD requirements even in the same institution differs. For instance, in UI, while some departments require one year course work before proceeding to the research component, some others do not.

I have seen a situation where students admitted into a department for PhD in Nigerian University had to wait for one year after paying school fee of close to #200k before lectures on the course component were delivered to them. They just had to accept it that way or forfeit the admission. And of course, they can't just say okay, let us not pay the school fee and wait to apply for it next session. The department for sure will deny such applicants a placement.

The bottom line is PhD is good depending on what the individual wants but is not a function for money making.

As long as UI can award PHD in 4 years it is possible but hard because of the same discrimination we are seeing in this thread.

university of Ibadan is the best we have that's why I mentioned them in particular.

What is this one saying? ?

So one not completing the PhD in the three years stipulated is now a thing of pride

As my uncle will always say

There is NO PRIDE in suffering.

Young man, there's no hype here. ABU is equally good but of a truth, is far when compared to the first and the best, popularly known as Ui
