The Vice Chancellor of Plateau State University, Bokkos, Nenfort Gomwalk, has lamented the shortage of qualified lecturers in Nigerian universities.

Mr. Gomwalk said this in an interview on Friday in Jos.

He described the situation “as so terrible” adding that 70 per cent of the lecturers in the nation’s universities were assistant lecturers.

“The fact of the matter is that several Nigerian universities have dearth of PhD holders as lecturers. Most of the lecturers in the nation’s Ivory towers are Masters Degree holders and some of them have spent years pursuing their PhD degrees without success.

“I am aware that some of the Masters Degree holders have spent 10 to 15 years pursuing their doctorate degrees,” he said.
