fine structures ,but great IFE is much finer...#TEAM OAU.

What i see here beats OAU hands down, OAU is only has bigger structures.

Very beautiful yet you hardly hear about the school unlike the over rated slum that prides it self as the best university in Nigeria.

Thanks for the post

What could cause caving of the floor even when there is a proper German floor and the DPC was properly compressed.

Front page please.This is thought provoking

I think what we need as a nation to develop those sectors of Engineering is mainly investment, once the investors come into the country, Nigerian will be made to taking up key positions in those firms with time they will develop competence in those sectors and will move from those companies to setup their own similar firms, there is no need to re-event the wheel.

On the part of youths we need to take education more serious and develop a technological culture and reduce our appetite for foreign made goods

I think the government is on the right direction with the policy on cement, auto manufacturing more sectors need policies like that, we also need to give very attractive incentive to major manufacturing giants to come and setup of industries and R and D centers,The government should also take the issue of funding for education very seriously.

China and India are shinning example mainly because of huge investment from the US, Europe and other developed counties.

• GEREGU power plant was initiated by OBJ

This simple means those universities will have a student population of between 150 to 200 thousand just like some south American universities,This will only worsen the situation of the labour market imagine OAU and 5 others producing about 50 thousand graduates every year, 300,000 graduate from just 6 universities.

The quality of graduates from those school become worst given the Nigerian factor

Zik was not a former Nigerian leader,he was a ceremonial president it should be replaced with aguiyi ironsi

Akshow: i believe you are not blind and you can see the op backed it up wit a link

You don’t need to insult me while making you point all am saying is that there is not such information on their website, NUC web site is always up to date. You can check their official web site yourself http://www.nuc.edu.ng

How come it’s not on there web site(http://www.nuc.edu.ng) I doubt if this is real.

This looks like a setup, how come the FG is always quick to intercept terrorist activists in Lagos, just may be the FG wants to draw the SW to the war on terror, the SW has been on the fence for too long, FG needs the support of the SW to win this war on terror.

The North wants power back by all means and their only obstacle is the SE/SS who are is power

I will not be surprised if FG is behind all this bombing to take our attention off the issues about the pardon and to further aggravate the north south divide.

HE Federal Ministry of Education has denounced media reports that President Goodluck Jonathan had made a U-turn on the renaming the University of Lagos.

The newly appointed chairman of the governing council of the university, Professor Jerry Gana, was quoted to have said that President Jonathan had changed his mind about renaming the institution after the late Chief Moshood Abiola.

But the Director of Press, Federal Ministry of Education, Mr Olu Lipede, told the Nigerian Tribune that the ministry was yet to receive any categorical statement from the Federal Government on such a decision.

He noted that the position of the government about the name change remained, adding, however, that there were pending issues at the court over the change of name.

He added also that there was a law establishing the university, adding that a bill was currently before the National Assemby on the name change.

“The reports that the government has made a U-turn on the renaming of UNILAG are untrue and misleading. What Professor Jerry Gana said was that the president was observing the rule of law by not forcing his decision to change the name of the university on the people, but followed the due process by allowing the court to decide the matter.

“The president has not issued any categorical statement on the matter and the ministry of education has not received any directive either; so, the directive of the president on the school remains the same,” the statement read.

If this report is true

Years of imbalance in the Nigerian army cannot be address by Appointing Igbos officers to top positions without lower rank troops to back them up, this would still not achieve this balance, rather it will only aggravate the lack of trust by other ethnic group for Igbos.

The reality is there are not enough Igbo soldiers in the Nigerian Army to protect those promoted Officers or even Ihejirika himself. Making someone GOC does not mean his own troops won't kill him when "yawa gas" those who have ears let them hear.

You are on point

This is so shameful ,is there no body from state/local/federal government monitoring this project.
