For postgraduate candidates wishing to specialise in Electronic and Communication engineering. The contemporary areas of interest are as thus:

1. Network convergence of heterogeneous networks
2. White space communication and spectrum optimisation
3. M-ary modulation schemes for n x n MIMO systems preferably with advanced OFDM and/or IDMA
4. Regulations, framework and protocols for cloud computing or simply cloud computing management
5. Spatial modulation using Shannon-compliant baseband modulation schemes
6. Frameworks and cross-layer designs for the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT).

That's all I can give for now...

I am ashamed say I no too go school! I just dey jealous your chairman sha ! Chai see educated woman, Allah!

Synthase:

you proceeded directly in FUTA?

Yes I did.

Roundabout:

Yes I did.

ok, just asking because of the misinformation usually flying around that you have to go thru conversion first there and in other federal schools even if yoy have phd grade.

Ezechinwa:


hello sir ... pls i have a question!... we all know that first degrees have classes either first class, 2nd class upper or lower etc... does Msc and Ph.d have the same class

cuz i have never seen a M.sc or Ph.d student mention such...[b][/b]

for M.Sc, dere is but not in the way it is for Bsc. For Msc, d main goal if u want to continue in academics is making a PhD grade which is 60% in most schools in d country. For PhD, ders no class. Its either u r awarded d certificate or not depending on merit after presentation of one's abstract.

Timothy3113:
please am also doing ur course, and d stupid orientation dey gave i no even undastand. Please sowie for derailing, where can we work. I mean govt and priv parastals. I no of self employoo.

hahaha...I understand. When it comes to job, its mostly academic like working in NVRI, jos; IITA, ibadan and dier likes. if u gather degrees together, no private establishment may employ you except a rare few cos they want practical hands and not theoretical hands. Best is develop ur interest urself and know wat area of d course u fit in d most. Take for example, am into animal products and processing which means I can also work at some food processing industries which dealswith meat or milk. So firstly, find ur feet ind field bro. #safe

Well, I won't say it is misinformation. There is an element of truth in it. Most Federal universities tend to uphold the policy of not accepting, DIRECT for PhD, interested students who did not obtain their master's degrees from their universities.

For instance, OAU and FUNAAB won't allow you to proceed, even if you graduated from UI with a PhD grade!( you will be given Mphil/PhD). UI metes out the same treatment to prospective PhD students from other universities too.

But, in FUTA, to the best of my knowledge,the basic requirement is a high PhD grade. However, they may also be using other criteria in their selection process...

Sorry, are you a PhD holder or a PhD student? A simple answer, please.

No, I am not! But, they haven't been active in the development of the nation because they have nothing to contribute.

Stop the use of conjectures. I don't care about what you write here. The fact remains Nigerian PhD holders can't write properly in English language.

Hi, FemiOja, I actually liked ur post
Guess we are in the same boat! I use globular clusters to understand how early-type galaxies form and evolve. Globular clusters are star clusters found ubiquitously around early-type galaxies. They are generally old (some of the oldest known objects in the Universe) and are formed from the same stellar materials in the same starburst event. This makes them interesting "laboratories" to study galaxy formation and evolution. Galaxy star light is faint when you probe far-out from the centers of galaxies, so we need luminous discrete tracers e.g. globular clusters, planetary nebulae etc., to understand energy and mass distribution in galaxies, where dark matter dominates the dynamics. So for the price of one, we get information about the chemical content, age and dynamics when we study the globular cluster complement of early-type galaxies. I'm involved in the SLUGGS survey where we use the world's best optical telescope (Keck telescope) to study the kinematics and dynamics of nearby galaxies in the local Universe. Its really exciting! I've visited the Keck observatory twice in one year! If you want more details, I'll be happy to have a chat with you, or with any other person!
So what's your research about??

adioolayi:
BSc. Microbiology FUNAAB..work on Bio ethanol

MSc Food and Industrial microbiology FUNAAB..work on Biodiesel

PhD in view ..Industrial Microbiology...Further work on Biodiesel (or bio detergent... Not decided yet)

When I saw your post, I guessed you would be the one and I wasn't wrong. I was in B206 and u stayed in B204 or something with Samson and co. Welldone!

You cannot do a PhD with just a research question.

Nice thread by the way

BS Marketing
MSc International Business
MSc Supply Chain
MPA
PhD

But he needs a research question to write a proposal....

ajayiopy:
Bsc materials and metallurgical Engineering
MSC ....sustainable energy development
PhD..... Wind energy technology

can you give me some info about this course?

ajayiopy:
Bsc materials and metallurgical Engineering
MSC ....sustainable energy development
PhD..... Wind energy technology

Please, I like to know the schools/ country where u studied or studying.

Nice thread...
BSc Elect/ Elect Engineering - Akoka, Nigeria
MSc Power Engineering- Cottbus, Germany
PHd Energy Distribution- Bauchi, Nigeria

The basic idea is energy access, using mini-grids to the rural folks with no connection to the central utility.
Energy sources will be renewable in nature, with focus solar PV and pico-hydro systems, especially in a place with huge potential.
Hopefully, i will be visiting a potential site in Benin in January. Load analysis of this site will be made and possible renewable mini-grid will be designed to cater for the basic needs of this region.

Bonsoir. Mais je suis une femme.

Ah bon,donc je serais très heureuse de vous rencontrer.

Tesiday:
B.A History and International Studies (UNAD)
M.A History and Strategic Studies (UNILAG)
PHD........Applied to UNILAG, writing proposal but getting discouraged



cos i have applied for several AL positions and was never called, andd have a family. currently looking elsewhere to geta job and move on with my life in other field.

Any advise?

greatest Unadite!!! The lord will do it... Keep the flag flying.

aspirebig:


I think foreign Universities PHDs are also recognised here and u can finish earlier there unlike here that we do experience ASUU strike.

Sometimes,it the school that just make the difference,imagine someone with a Phd from Bradford UK and you have yours from a Naija Uni...

I am thinking of the one to go for.

you don't need to think sir .PhD in Nigeria compare to advanced countries is like comparing primary school to University .The gap is so wide if you have the resource don't ever plan for PhD in Nigeria

How many of the PhD holders can show me their researches and works on peer-to-peer review sites? None, I guess! They aren't useful to the progress of that nation. It is all about having that white cardboard papers!

Keneking:


Oga the programme is a guided study...the programme is immuned from ASUU or NUPENG strikes. The issue of finishing on time is dependent on the student.

Absolutely wrong no matter how a student put his effort if you have a bad supevisor you will spend 7years or more in Nigeria. Although students can b lazy but I have seen intelligent researchers been frustrated by supervisors .PhD in Nigeria you go no wen u start u don't know when u go finish am .

Dereformer:


I love your determination and also kudos for having support from your beloved wife.

But sir could help sharing your age? It will sure encourage someone.

Thanks.

Oga you are so concern about this age stuff lol ! Don't b like my friend who was lamenting few days ago that he is 30years now and he has not achieved much academically .You may be a late starter doesn't mean you won't get to your destination. Age is just a number more importantly there is no age limit for successful scholars

luvkia:
B.Sc. Accounting
M.Sc. Accounting and Finance
Ph.D. Accounting and Finance (first year)
I'll like to share with similar interest

Please, I would like to know your current occupation. I'm assuming you are an accountant or currently working in the finance/accounts dept of a company. Are u well off without any of those professional qualifications i.e acca/ican?

It is called peer-reviewed journal or peer-reviewed articles. Not peer-to-peer. Am a reviewer currently to 8 Elsevier journals, 4 Taylor and Francis and 12 Springer journals. Here you will find some of my works and all are peer-reviewed articles and paid for by Turkish Govt : https://www.nairaland.com/2044554/thread-phd-students/12

Are you an editor, researcher or reviewer?

Any Phd holder in acturial science or Phd student please notify me wanna relate.....
