This is as she described the Federal Government’s ban on
fake foreign universities as a blessing for Nigerian institutions, especially
in the area of student enrollment and improved education standards.
Fielding questions from journalists during the 13th Fountain
University convocation briefing, she said most universities in the country,
including Fountain, engaged professors on sabbatical leave to work with them.
She added that institutions that could not get professors on
sabbatical engaged professors on adjuncts basis, which is also a legal means of
engaging academics in the University.
“I joined Fountain University from a giant institution,
which is the University of Ilorin in Kwara state. There is no University in
Nigeria that has adequate numbers of professors required, not one. This is due
to the brain drain syndrome, every University employ other legal and acceptable
means to engage professors to work with them.
“Here at Fountain we engage professors on sabbatical or
adjunctship in a bid to ensure that needed personnel are not in short supply.
“Despite all these, we do not have fake professors in our
University and most of the Universities mentioned that have fake professors
have come out to state that those mentioned are not in their employment and
even the National Universities Commission has also denounced that the list
emanated from them”, she said.
She also disclosed that Federal Government’s ban on some
fake foreign universities is not a threat in anyway to Nigeria but more of a
blessing in the area of student enrollment.
“Most of the student patronising those Universities would
now have to go to a proper University in the country which will culminate into
higher enrollment figure, especially for private universities in the country.
“So the decision of of the federal government is more of a
blessing than a threat for the higher institutions across the country”, she
added.
