The former governor, who said he stopped the award of honorary degrees in the Lagos State University (LASU), noted that honorary degrees must be conferred on awardees based on merit and not because they occupy political offices or command socio-economic powers.

Honorary Degree is an important building block of society and once we throw those blocks away or make them unviable then the purpose for it is lost.

“In my eight years in office I had 17 offers and I didn’t take one. I told them to wait until when I was out of office and if they still find me worthy they should then come back, and when I was out of office only one came back.

Mr. Fashola a once respected Gov, has lost his place in Nigerians mind since joining Bubu empty government. Electricity is now a rocket science to him.

Lol, know your ministers. He is no longer the minister for power but works and housing.

Hmm.
He is right by the way but I disagree with the 'acceptable' version of Nigeria's history. I feel there will be alterations which wont be good for our development. The populace needs to know the undiluted truth about the history of Nigeria and not one cooked acceptable version. Acceptable by who if I may ask

By acceptable. I believe what he meant is that a version that is an offshoot of a critical analysis from relevant stakeholders in the field.

It's an Akwa Ibomite that will mostly likely speak that way due to their mother tongue not a Calabar (Cross Riverian)man.. There's a difference..

I understand, but can it be accepted by all besides the stakeholders?

That has always been strong opinion. They shouldn't just turn it to yeye honors that'll eventually become embarrassing.
