The structures we are operating, how well are they positioned to deliver? We are talking of establishing more institutions, whereas they (governments) are not catering for the existing ones. Who is deceiving who?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo to the National Assembly. You can be sure they have nothing less than 30 Bills proposing new colleges of education; not less than 50 Bills proposing new universities, polytechnics and so on. Is that what we need?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow well are the existing institutions delivering? It means those who are there are not connected with the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2012, we advocated for the NEEDS Assessment of public universities in Nigeria. What we came up with the report was scandalous. The N1.3 trillion that we proposed to fix our universities in six years is real.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI visited first generation universities where we saw them using kerosene stoves in place of fossil burners, and they were fetching water in buckets in a 21st century laboratory. What quality education are we proposing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akindele called for improved packages for Nigerian teachers to attract the best brains to the profession.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ochiubzef ochiubzef-post-inline ochiubzef-float-center ochiubzef-align-center ochiubzef-column-1 ochiubzef-clearfix no-bg-box-model\">\n<div id=\"ochiubzef-1557259-1992518951\" class=\"ochiubzef-container ochiubzef-type-custom_code \" data-adid=\"1557259\" data-type=\"custom_code\">\u201cWhen the teaching profession is attractive, you attract the best of brains. And when you attract such brains, you will improve all the other professions in Nigeria. But if teachers are bad; if they have dull brains; then you don\u2019t expect them to dish out anything that is first-class.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe must find a way of attracting the best brains into education in the country,\u201d the former COEASU president said.<\/p>\n<p>Also, COEASU President, Dr. Smart Olugbeko, berated the political class for politicising the Education sector.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cOur politicians have politicised education to the extent that education has been relegated to the background, that we experience different types of crises in the sector as a result of the insensitivity of the leaders to educational issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what has brought our educational system to the level at which everybody is not proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, a former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called on the federal government to stop approving new universities.
