The Assistant Vice-Chancellor University of West of England, Bristol, Professor Lukumon Oyedele has said that ineffective governance and leaders, outdated curriculum are the reasons Nigerian universities cannot meet up with the world.
The University Don said a Nigerian university only manages to rank the 500th positions among its mates in the world.
Prof Oyedele lamented that government policies and structural problems are the main issues undermining the university system in Nigeria.
He made the assertions while delivering a lecture on “Internationalisation of Higher Education in Nigeria: A Change in Attitude and Strategy”, during the 2nd Prince Tunde Ponnle Annual Lecture held at Osun State University, main campus, Osogbo.
Experts observed that in the event the non-academic members of the university community decide to go on strike, they would make the agreement between ASUU and the government a wasted effort.
ASUU had since the return of democracy in 1999 expended four years on strike, an equivalent of one term for an elected president or governor.

Under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, the union had ‘wasted’ 58 weeks on strike, meaning they had been at home for about 15 months.
The union had spent four weeks in 2017 and 13 weeks in 2018; while 2020 witnessed the longest- 41 weeks and 3 days.
Parents and students who expressed joy over yesterday’s development called on ASUU and the federal government to respect the terms of the agreement that led to the suspension of the strike to avert another round of strike.

Public health workers, struggling with a new covid-19 variant, cannot be expected to deal with a chaotic end of the Brexit transition too
As 2020 draws to a close, the United Kingdom faces a perfect storm. A new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has emerged with multiple mutations, several of which seem to increase the risk of transmission. This variant is now spreading rapidly from its apparent origins in the South East of England. The health secretary, Matt Hancock, has conceded that it is now out of control and new Tier 4 measures are necessary to deal with this crisis.
