![]() ![]() ![]() What happened over time going to University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in the 70s, I saw the autonomy the institutions enjoyed not politicised in the appointment of principal officers. Yes it’s still the lecturers that handle the library. They said the library is not well equipped. If the money from there is not enough, let there be more allocations to address the paucity of our laboratories. It is not the responsibility of employees to decide how they would be paid.Īnother one, laboratories are not in order but you have the TETFund. Sometimes they said the problem is that the government said it wanted to pay through Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPS), the employees say no. So, there is no reason, if there is a big shock in the education sector, there should be other ways of solving it. Those who handle the economy of the country are drawn largely from graduates of universities. Those who handle accreditation of programmes through the National Universities Commission (NUC) are lecturers. Until I am convinced by a superior argument, those who handle the admissions are lecturers. They should device other means, ways of handling this. They are the intellectual giants of our country. I believe that the lecturers know better. The strike as a panacea for resolving conflicts is completely out of the way. They would graduate those ones who would not be able to compete with anyone in the world, neither with themselves or other countries. They would go and do alternative to practicals. They remain more than five months at home, one month in the classroom without laboratories. The hours and weeks spent at home will erode the quality of what we dish out and degrees. I don’t believe that the only way to handle an issue like this is to create more shocks for the education sector. At the same time, it is important to find ways of bridging those gaps. It is true that the facilities for teaching and learning are not as they should be in our public institutions. It has ridiculed the entire efforts in the education sector. ![]()
