President Buhari said the NUC and JAMB have been directed to thereafter carry out a comprehensive student audits to ascertain compliance.

”If you look at the demographics of the various Nigerian universities, it reveals a preponderance of over localisation and over indigenization with only a few universities including those owned by the federal government having a semblance of national institutions in terms of the national spread of their staff and students population.

“Universities should be more broad-minded, less parochial and eschew over indigenization.

“Government expects university managers to do a lot more with less, given the economic reality confronting us as a nation today. This calls for innovative and transparent management practices.

“Funding is not just about the quantum of fund disbursed to universities, it also includes the judicious management of available funds to ensure that we get more mileage on whatever funds are expended”, he said.

    Cumhuriyetimiz neredeyse yüz yaşına giriyor Osmanlı’dan cumhuriyete “miras” kalan bu topraklarda,
    yüz yıldan beri Osmanlı kötüleniyor, aşağılanıyor, suçlanıyor Hâlâ da mı, diyeceksiniz, maalesef evet:
    Biraz yumuşatılmakla birlikte (meselâ Sultan ülhamid Han’a artık
    “Kızıl Sultan” denmiyor), ders kitapları hâlâ da aynı yalanları.

    kadar icen bir sahsiyet muhakkak iskembe corbasi, hadi olmadi sole bol soslu bi ceyrek ekmek midye falan yer.
    ertesi sabah agizda alkol sigara kombinasyonunun yaninda bunlari bastirma yetisine sahip bir sarmisak tadiyla uyanilir.
    banyo yapilip isenir ve su icilirse aynen tekrar yatilip guzelce uyunabilir.

    mide agrisi icin talcid sahane bir.
