When rescuers become villains The Nation Newspaper

In recent times, incidents of attack on men of the Fire Service in Anambra State by angry residents have been rampant due essentially to their late arrival at scenes of fire outbreak. Rather than the saviour they are meant to be in such circumstances, fighter fighters become victims of fire outbreaks. A group of angry youths, who accused the fire fighters of arriving at the scene late were said to have thrown stones at them.

‘ICT will be major driver of economy this year’

ICT will be a major driver of the economy in the New Year: revenue depends on infrastructure, the better the infrastructure, the greater the revenue. With these said ICT can be our major source of revenue generation for our economy in billions of dollars. Parents also have a crucial role to play, in ensuring early exposure of their children to ICT knowledge early enough, by encouraging their wards in participating in training, ICT workshops or internship programmes. Measurable government policies should be put in place to ensure sustainable ICT knowledge transfer and adoption in Nigeria. ICT should be integrated and applied into the economy, for instant, in transportation, agriculture, security, economy planning, building framework as smart buildings, etc.

Facing 2003 The Nation Newspaper

Because of the duplicitous nature of military president, Ibrahim Babangida’s political transition programme, its labyrinthine twists, and turns, few could vouch that it would run its advertised course. Few could vouch that a programme so fraught would run its course and culminate in the democratic election of a president. It made no difference to the purveyors of the fib nor those who embraced it that the location of the federal capital was a constitutional matter.

The crisis of tertiary education in Nigeria (1)

The title of this convocation lecture is: Polytechnic Education: A Recipe for Visionary Leadership and Governance in Nigeria. Given the deliberate stigmatization and conscious inferiorization of polytechnic education in Nigeria, the very idea of polytechnic education as a recipe for visionary leadership appears on the surface to be incongruous and fatally flawed. In the circumstances, how can a polytechnic education serve as a recipe for visionary leadership and visionary governance in contemporary Nigeria? Several commentators have noted that there is an official seal to the systematic denigration of polytechnic education in the country. First, is the false notion that because polytechnic education is mainly vocational, it is merely functional and work-driven.
