Hello everyone. I want to appreciate everyone for the insightful contributions shared in this platform. I came here some years back seeking help in some areas as regards as my PhD programme in Computer Science. I am happy to announce that I have completed the programme. Thanks everyone for your contribution and advise that assisted me during the programme. God bless you all.

I need help on reputable Computer journals where I can publish some articles on cybersecurity and Machine Learning.

I also need links to Post-doctoral position in Computer Science and how to get admitted in them.

Her First degree was from Nigeria. She made First Class from Michael Okpara University of Agriculture,Umudike, Nigeria

treatise:
Not in this case, Nigerian circumstances can condition to what you're not ; if she had remained in Nigeria she'd most probably made a 2:2

I think this is a case of someone who really knows his right and is willing to explore it. So redeployment in a workplace without consent is potentially illegal? Never knew.

But the report stated that he was invited and was informed that he will be redeployed to the new post and he consented to the new offer.

Good day, everyone. I am doing a PhD program with focus on e-health systems in a secure cloud platform.

I want to ask for help to anyone that will direct me to resources online ( journals, conferences etc) that can be of great assistance in carrying out the research work.

Thanks everyone.

Professor wip7, please your suggestions and guidance is highly needed with respect to the above quoted comment.

Thanks in advance.

No Ma/Sir

Okay. Thanks.

Does NOUN offer Masters degree in Mathematics Education? I know they offer Masters in Science Education but I want to know if they offer Masters in Mathematics Education.

Sorry please can someone help.
I paid tru remita, they were supposed to send me a mail with a pdf receipt, but I didn't get a pdf receipt with the mail they sent. Now I can't get the RRR code.

If you retrieve your RRR code, then you get your receipt but if you get the RRR code contact Remita through an email they will be able to help you with a way to get back your receipt

Lecturer where? this should be based on the continent, country and location you want to become lecturer and your immediate goal for next 5 years and goal for next 30 years if you are currently less than 80 years now.

You will need to think; if you will be based in Nigeria as an example, you have to check how many universities are currently offering programs in your proposed master field. If you can find a good number distributed regionally then means chances of getting a job may be higher. So if your permanent location or next 5 years lecturing will be based in Nigeria and they have many universities in Nigeria studying Microbiology then you can go for it.

For example, in Nigeria banking and Finance is a very common course almost where almost all universities offer this program ........but in several countries, I have lived, lectured or visited they dont do this course. Common related course is often economics, international finance and MIS so these set of people work in banks in these places.


Developed countries and real developing countries are currently or have been applying artificial intelligence in almost all field leading to massive development and scaling up start-ups......I have not actually read about a university in Nigeria offering programs in this field maybe until 100 years to come. So if someone have Msc and PhD in artificial intelligence such person will be hotcake abroad but cold or no cake in Nigeria for now in terms of lecturing.


So consider your local environment, immediate goals, 15 years targets as main parameters and set aside changing world and advancement as a variable to reach your conclusion.


Best wishes

Thanks Prof. for your words here. They open my eyes to have a global perspective and most be restricted to local constraints.

I am writing a grant application to EU and UNESCO that likely support this mission so some possible little stuff can be deal with.

The persons I will be working with will need to have accesss to research laboratory in their locations to carry out research. When am done with the finalization I will mention what are needed and its starts, need to get some updates from the Funders.

Okay, Sir.

Research on Rapid-point-of-Use Sensor

My lab is currently building fantastic and commercial viable sensor technologies using molecularly imprinted technologies. The sensor are able to detect multiple heavy metals in various sources, food pathogens and their toxins and cancer biomarkers.


Here are our recent work.

Collaboration with African-based Researcher:

To assist and train interested researchers in Africa, I am wiling to collaborate with few persons interested to carry out research in the following fields:
1. Electrochemical sensors
2. Wastewater treatment technology via photocatalysis
3. Energy storage devices
4. Advanced materials for biomedical applications
5. AI related scientific research
6. Slow -release agricultural nutrient loaded hydrogels

The aim is to train the researchers on how to carry out research, write reputable papers and publish in reputable journals so that person can create another chain reactions.

Progress will be disseminated timely


I will put up some characteristics and profile I am interested to work with.

I'm in interested in AI related scientific research. How do we go about it?

Joiceee:
Please I need your advice, it's very urgent.

I finished my HND at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic with distinction in Food Technology. I really want to further but I am a bit confused. I have 2 options to choose from, please which of these options would be good for my career,since I want to Lecture.

Options
1. Do direct entry with my HND to 300 level, to get my BSC then proceed to MSC then PhD

OR

2. Use my HND to do PGD (biomedical engineering), then MSC , PhD


Please which option is better?....Thanks in advance!!!

It depends on the target institution you want to work as a lecturer. Some universities will not employ you as lecturer even if you have Ph.D except you have a first degree while most polytechnics will employ you with your HND-PGD- MSc-Ph. D. So having a degree offer you some advantage. The is my take.

That

For those interested in Machine learning and Artificial intelligence

Here are steps of courses you may need to take to push you through this .....along these steps you will learn valuable things and in fact do wonderful projects. Machine learning can be incorporated into nearly almost all domain provided there are data to support it.


Skills in machine learning these days offer a remunerative career as its benefit organizations by making predictions and helping them make better decisions.

I am interested in learning AI and Machine Learning. How do I get materials for the listed courses?

I think it depends on each university rules and regulations. Each university often have graduate institute office that coordinates and provides details regarding the thesis writing and formatting. In modern and standard school, such information are often placed on the university website.

In general, thesis does not have maximum nor minimum provided the key elements are all included proportionally.

I remember one of my classmates (or senior) we were nearly graduating at the same time during our PhDs;

---her thesis was like 350 pages with just one scientific publication as requirement to graduate PhD (her supervisor loves heavily paged thesis, she believes that means worthy and valuable and with such heavily paged thesis she said the student is highly competitive).

----On the other hand, my PhD thesis was 40 pages and graduated with 25 scientific publications (although when my PhD supervisors saw my thesis, they tried to convince me to increase the page so the Jury members wont say its too light.........for me I dont see any sense in that, because I only summarized all my publications........I convinced the major supervisor that spending 3 years in lab/field with 25 publications and another with 7.5 years for PhD with 1 publication even blind person will know......so no further comments). During the submission at the graduate institute, the director said the thesis appears light and less pages, I told him my supervisors and Jury members did not complain niether myself... so......!


For the PhD students I have supervised; I believe in quality, passing experience, training and exposure to my students rather than giving me 1000 pages thesis and after graduation they are not worthy or their CVs cant compete favorably globally. The university needs just 1 reputable publication to graduate, but my rule for my PhD students is minimum of 10 paper publications, some meet and exceed while some meets just 5 ......

Anyway, So check with your university and supervisor advice.

Thanks Prof. This information settles it.

Hello every one. I want to know if PhD thesis has a minimum word count and if yes what is the minimum word count? I am doing my PhD programme in Nigeria.

Presently you can do correction of data for 2019 and later years but cannot do that for 2020 until JAMB authorize the process.

Take this to the thread titled " Thread for PhD Students "and you will get the needed advise.

The message has nothing to do with you then kindly mute. Let those that understand it reply. If it is not relevant to you, it might be relevant to others.

Who are you to tell me to "mute"?

Sorry is there any 2019 MTN scholarship
new awardee who has not received payment here yet. Especially those who attended the Award ceremony at onikan in Lagos on 24th October, 2019 please?

This platform is supposed to be avenue to share information with regards to the MTN scholarship.

The last information given was the call for essay writing. Nothing more was shared. The next thing was award ceremony being held and payment being made. Please let's learn to share relevant information to all.

wip7:
7. When you click on about the journal, you will find relevant information like the aims, type of manuscript accepted and details
8. To know if the Journal is FREE or You have to pay to publish, click the GUIDE for Authors
9. So, in the Guide for authors, go down until you get to a point that shows SUBSCRIPTION, if it gives you details about the Subscription, then means this is a free journal to publish unless you choose OPEN access. So if you want it FREE just select their regular SUBSCRIPTION (what its means is that, after you publish your paper will be on their website and only universities or individual that subscribed can download a complete paper).
10. The details below in the Guide for Authors show you how to format your work and all details needed
11. To find the coverage or database the journal belongs, kindly visit Clarivate website (https://mjl.clarivate.com/search-results). Here, you will see the true database.

Note, there are a bunch of fake journals, especially the many indian publishers' ([b]this is not a stereotype, just my observations and widely known trend) they just charge you to publish in their Journals. So, the usually list fake database or impact factors on their websites, kindly visit Clarivates for authentic coverage. [/b]

I hope this helps...........best wishes!

Thanks,Prof. Wip7 for this timely information.

Op, My advice to you is for you to go to your department to get the true state of affairs with regard to your result. It is not possible that you result will "suddenly" disappear into thin air.

If I may ask " how did you know that you had 2 D's from the courses taught by your Supervisor and D in your project with an overall CGPA of 3.26"? The answer to this question may help us to give you better advice to help resolve the issue.

Make efforts to resolve the issue internally before rushing to Twitter for assistance.

NkShallom:
pls which office did you see it? do you have the list?

Go to Dean's office, Students Affairs.

NkShallom:
Please for the 2018 award.

Have any uni in the southeast received their award letter or even seen the list in school?

Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike,Abia State has seen their list.

Adexy4us:
please i need past questions of NTI PDE first semester courses... PDE 701-705

Possible ways to get them:
1. Ask from those that wrote the exams from the previous session.
2. Request from the centre manager of the centre that you are running your programme.
3. Go to the NTI state office in the state you are and ask for them for the past question papers.

Donfamous:
great. Which state?

The 2018 result has not been released. Probably it is 2016/2017 scholars that were earlier verified.

enoeshett:
Engr, please NTI 2016 Lagos Agege alumni here o. The fear of NTI is what is making me not do ECA o till now. I have B.Sc from Covenant university and PGDE from NTI. Please I need a contact who I can handle NTI transcript and WES verification tinz! Help!!

Applying for transcript is not an issue. You need to go to NTI state headquarters where you did your PGDE programme. Make inquiries on how to go about it.

Normally, you need to apply for your transcript to be forwarded to your target Institution's address after paying the prescribed fees.
