A friend just called my attention to a news story in today&#8217;s Daily Trust about the FUTO branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) saying Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami\u2019s appointment as \u201cprofessor\u201d of cybersecurity followed due process and that external assessors (whom they didn\u2019t name) found his publications to be worthy of \u201cpromointment\u201d (my coinage for promotion and\/or appointment since the dolts at FUTO can\u2019t decide what they have done) to the rank of professor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These guys are comedians. Only that their comedy is humorless and fraudulent. Here are the issues. FUTO\u2019s registrar had told the Nigerian Tribune that Pantami told FUTO that he was an \u201cassociate professor\u201d at the Islamic University in Madinah before his relocation to Nigeria, and that Pantami&#8217;s promointment to a fraudfessorship in cybersecurity was a consequence of his last academic position. But Pantami lied, and FUTO is either too feckless or too compromised to catch his obvious lie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the last article he wrote while at the Islamic University in Madinah in January 2016 titled \u201cThe Importance of Identity Management Systems in Developing Countries\u201d (which he co-authored with a Yusuf Abubakar at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University) before resigning and taking up a government appointment, he self-identified as \u201cAsst Professor,\u201d which is the short form of \u201cAssistant Professor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dr. Abdulaziz Tijjani called attention to the disconnect between Pantami\u2019s last article before he accepted a government position where he identified his rank as \u201cAsst Professor\u201d and his fraudulent edit of his Researchgate profile to indicate that he was an \u201cAssociate Professor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s a screenshot of the article which, by the way, is a garbage-in-garbage-out, pay-to-play, predatory article with zero editing or peer review.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And that leads to me to the next point, which FUTO\u2019s incompetent and compromised ASUU panel glossed over in their so-called \u201cinvestigation.\u201d And that is that they did not officially write to the Islamic University of Madinah that supposedly promoted Pantami to the rank of associate professor after only two years of teaching there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I wrote to the university. Although I\u2019m yet to get a formal response from the management of the school after two attempts, perhaps because I\u2019m an individual, I did get across to some of Pantami\u2019s former colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They confirmed to me that Pantami\u2019s last rank at the university was an \u201cAssistant Professor\u201d and that he hadn\u2019t qualified to be promoted to the next rank because he hadn\u2019t met the minimum requirements. To be promoted to an associate professor at the school, they told me, you need a minimum of four peer-reviewed SCOPUS-indexed journal articles. Pantami had zero.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His articles were published in predatory journals, which are worthless in all decent schools. Some of Pantami\u2019s colleagues are still assistant professors as I write this. His former department has a list of faculty publications on its website, which one of his former colleagues directed me to. I checked the years 2014 through 2016. None of Pantami\u2019s fraudulent articles was listed there, obviously because they aren\u2019t peer-reviewed or published in SCOPUS-indexed journals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, which publications of Pantami\u2019s did FUTO\u2019s external assessors evaluate? The same 10 publications on Google Scholar 80 percent of which are self-evidently low-quality, poorly edited, predatory journal articles that no self-respecting university would accept as scholarship? FUTO\u2019s fraud is way worse than we think. I think it has truly earned my rechristening it as Fraudsters\u2019 University of Technology!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The obviously rubber-stamped ASUU panel reportedly \u201cstrongly recommends that the University management should as a matter of urgency take appropriate actions, including legal action, against those who deliberately try to drag the image and reputation of FUTO to the mud.\u201d Hahaha! FUTO dragged its reputation to the mud all by itself unaided.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These guys are obviously not just comical frauds, they are also pitifully lowbrow illiterates! Sue people for calling out daylight intellectual fraud? In what planet do these philistines live? OK, I am waiting for their lawsuit. Please, please and pretty please, sue me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States-based Nigerian Professor of Journalism and Emerging Media, Farooq Kperogi has reacted to a panel set-up by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of Federal University of Technology, Owerri, validating Minister of Communication, Isa Pantami&#8217;s appointment as Professor of Cybersecurity.
