President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said his administration would intensify efforts in ensuring periodic review of university curriculum to meet national needs and be relevant to global demands. https://www.informant247.com/2018/05/fg-to-intensify-efforts-on-periodic.html

Buhari said this at the final day of the 2017 convocation of the University of Lagos.

The ceremony was for the award of postgraduates and honorary degrees.

Buhari’s speech was delivered by the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Abubakar Rasheed.
The President said that it was worrisome that some Nigerian universities were still not demonstrating adequate capacities in their mandate of teaching, research and community service.

According to him, education is a key factor in the economic development of any nation in the 21st century
He added that, with the advent of knowledge- based economy, educational competencies rather than natural resources would drives national development.

“In Nigeria, the importance of education in national development has been enunciated in the national policy on education and adequately captured in the Ministerial Strategic Plan for Education.

“Human capital development is essential to the attainment of international goals, and universities have critical roles to play in the development of the critical mass of manpower that drives national economies,’’ he said.

According to the president, Nigeria currently has 164 universities comprising of 42 federal, 47 state and 75 private universities including a few others approved on Wednesday.

He said that, with the number, it had become increasingly imperative to reposition the country’s university system to meet the goals and aspirations behind their existence.

According to him, both developed and developing countries strive to mobilise education as the key engine of growth and development.
“But in Nigeria, it is worrisome that some Nigerian universities are not demonstrating adequate capacity for fund utilisation despite the need and justified clamours to increase funding of higher education.

“I am made to understand that some universities still find it difficult to access funds from the Tertiary Education Trustfund (TETfund) because they have not shown commitment to meeting the requirement for the release of such funds.

“In the same vein, there are hiccups to the actualisation of the NEED Assessment funds for the revitalisation of our universities because some universities have not been able to meet the requirement for further release of such funds.

“I therefore implore pro-chancellors and vice chancellors of universities in Nigeria, especially public universities to take advantage of the initiative to enable Nigeria universities to efficiently and effectively meet up with their teaching, research and community development mandates.

“Nevertheless, government will continue to make efforts to provide the needed funds to run our universities effectively,’’ he said.
Buhari noted that funding was not only about making funds available to universities, but also involved judicious management of available funds.

According to him, as public officers charged with the responsibility of managing higher education institutions, there is need for the officials to be accountable to Nigerians who reposed confidence in them to execute such task.

“All what the public requires from our universities, whether public or private, is probity, accountability and transparency, and this must occupy the front burner in the management of our university system,’’ he said.

Earlier, the Chancellor of the institution, Alhaji Abubakar Garbai, the Shehu of Borno, assured the university of his support and pleaded with the president to pay adequate attention to the financial needs of the institution.

According to him, the university has financial constraints to accomplish its vision in many areas of development toward achieving more academic excellence and providing the much required needs of the country.

“It is on this backdrop that I crave on your excellency’s indulgence to give special attention to this university which is the pride of the nation.
“Similarly, the issues of frequent non-academic staff strikes is also taking its toll on the university programmes and should not be allowed to degenerate,’’ he said.

u that have certificate.. become the president na....u think it's by certificate... I guess the time he wud have used gathering meaningless certificates.. he was with the military doing something with his life...leave our president alone!!! even if he's not doing the right thing..no one has..OBJ and Goodluck..we all complained ..there is no administration we don't complain..what makes u feel the next man coming with a certificate wud do better..
I think we shud join hand in praying for the country than insulting all our leaders....fact is, they all have good intentions... if we all given the chance with the present state of Nigeria, I guess we would do worse.

Buhari will never attend that kind of programme

Funny how we let the country be run by an illiterate fool.

Even his WAEC certificate is under question because as at the time Buhari supposedly wrote WAEC, they didn't use passports, but his certificate has passport on it. How?

It's funny how Nigerians allowed themselves to be tricked in 2018

Now we have an illiterate man telling universities what to do? A man who never attended one would never know the value, hence he'd keep owing them their remuneration.

Nigeria is falling in crumbs. We lots are only alive to witness it.

Okay, but also review the kind of lecturers that are to deliver value from the reviewed curriculum

Ogbeni STFU this early morning joor.

Are you insane? Why would you talk such rubbish early in the morning. That we should leave the president? That he's not accountable or responsible for the present rot in the country? That we should pray instead?

You're nothing but a political illiterate. A near irredeemable fool. And it's idiots like you that has allowed the country to be in its present state.

An illiterate man wouldn't know anything about governing a people. Take this anywhere.

Leaders of first world countries all have degrees. They are all educated. And it in turn shows in their policy making decisions.

True Nigerians have never had it good, but we've never had it this bad. And Buhari's illiteracy further confounded our problem. We say internet fraud has stained the name of the country abroad, but Buhari's position as our President has done more dent to our image.

Don't be a fool. This is 2018

I laugh, u probably in one small corner of the world..and u want to send the president of a whole country to Daura.

well...even wit ur PVC u can't do that..
lemme tell u a fact..APC will still win come 2019..like it or leave it..
am wondering how u would smile profusely when u have a chance to hold Mr president hands..
have a nice day.

and learn to make a cool point/pass ur points across without insults..that's what makes u educated

xpiranza:
when jona was there most of u were not talking like these..that is y Nigeria will not grow when ur man is on seat let us support him but if its not ur man he is a drunk etc...how do u want us to grow with biased mind set

buhari is not ma man..I am Yoruba ...but I understand how the public sector works in Nigeria...no matter who u bring to power in Nigeria.. we will complain ...that's a sure odd.

we are diabolic people... we dont bliv in fair game..we depend so much on spiritual power.
have u ever sat down to think how many diabolic persons visit Mr President everyday...I work in a small public company.. and I know what some persons go tru...somebody will go visit his pastor/habalist just to come talk to u, to get a positive answer whether it benefits the country or not..
sometimes, u would have signed it before remembering that's wrong..
Nigeria itself,its people need a change or heart.
we are our own problem.
