Joshua Lidani, Chairman of COPSUN said that the theme encompassed many issues that had to do with governance in the university system.<\/p>\n<p>Lidani, Pro-Chancellor, Gombe State University, said that currently there were several challenges bedevilling the university system and tertiary education generally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of these challenges include: corrupt practices, impersonation, miracle exam centres, inadequate funding, proliferation of universities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOthers were discriminate and premature dissolution of governing councils and boards of tertiary educational institutions and delay in reconstituting them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lidani added that apart from the illegality of these acts, a huge vacuum was usually left in the administration of the institution leading to all kinds of anomalies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncessant strike action by ASUU and other labour unions and the attendant consequences in stability, quality and standards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are definitely not exhaustive but are symptomatic of the deep malaise that is affecting the system and extent of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, this conference alone will not be able to address the problem but it can raise public consciousness and alarm at the threat posed to good governance, standards and quality in the tertiary educational system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no doubt that the conference can point the way forward and advise on the way stakeholders can play a better and rightful role in uplifting the standards of education in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says act can damage our education system Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has warned tertiary institutions especially universities to stop admissions of underaged describing it as \u201cillegal \u201c.
