President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday said the Federal Government has approved the establishment of two specialised universities.

Speaking at the 31st convocation of the Bayero University, Kano on Saturday, Jonathan said the universities were the Marine University and the Federal University of Health Sciences.

Jonathan, who was represented by the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Julius Okoje, said the decision was borne out of the government’s desire to give more students with the requisite qualifications the opportunity to access quality education.

He said that in spite of the numerous challenges, the Federal Government would continue to support the education sector to empower the youth.

‘’Let me reiterate that university education worldwide is the bedrock of national development and integration.
‘’In terms of access, we have continued to create room for large number of qualified candidates seeking admission into universities,’’ he said.

Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, said a total of 8,875 students graduated from 12 faculties for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 academic sessions.

He said that out of the number, 3,638 graduated with first degrees, 1,823 graduated with post graduate diploma, 3,146 had Masters degrees, while the remaining 84 were Ph.Ds.

The university also conferred emeritus professorships on five distinguished academics for their contributions to the growth and development of intellectualism in the university.

FTC after 6yrs as a Nairalander. Am so so happy.
This is good for our Education system.

Does dt reduce the price of fuel?

Establishing nwe universities when the current ones are ill-equiped.



This man is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria, he only took us few years backward. It amazes me some people voted for him and he even got millions of votes.

mtcheeew .. 5 days seems like eternity, make this SHOELESS MAN leave us, every business is shutting down

When will this Otuoke man learn?... QUALITY EDUCATION! NOT QUANTITY!!!

Rrrrrubish

Mtcheeew....



Jonathan is a disgrace whalahi.

For five years, he was the C in C yet, he did not remember all these. Now that he has few days remaining, the man is trying to fully accomplish his dream of wrecking the Nigeria economy beyond repair.

I mean, yearly, thousands if not millions of graduates are churned out into the already saturated employment market. Did he provide job? No.

Another ASUU crisis looms. What has he done to improve the welfare of the existing universities? Little.

Nigerians are complaining of fuel scarcity and electricity and the man has not even come out to offer any reasonable explanation. No palliative measures in place and no plan to alleviate the suffering of the masses. All he just does is create new universities as if his life depends on it.

Seriously, i used to respect this man but now, no respect whatsoever but disdain.

This man is pure disgrace. Behaving like a kid.

Is he the first person to lose an election?

Assuming he got re elected, is this how he would av been acting?

Thank God sha... Three days more.

Pure rubbish
