Federal University, Dutse Matriculates 205 Students
One of the nine new Federal Universities established by President Goodluck Jonathan
GCFR, the Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State; made history on Tuesday, 31 July,
2012, when it Matriculated its first set of 205 students. The Honourable Minister of
Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, OON, who attended the ceremony with the
Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, disclosed that the Federal Government had so far
spent a total of N31.5 billion on the nine new universities, with each receiving a total of N3.5
billion.
Governor Sule Lamido and Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i
In his remarks at the event, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jibrila Amin, disclosed that the
number of students admitted was in conformity with the directive of the National Universities
Commission (NUC) to the effect that the new universities should not over stretch their facilities.
He acknowledged the role of the Honourable Minister of Education, under whose guidance the
university and the others were established, for facilitating the release of generous take-off grants,
through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) saying, “All our projects, including the 18
houses acquired from the Jigawa State Government, were funded through the TETFund grant of
N1.5 bn.”

The University was formally inaugurated on 10 March, 2011 and the management team has since
been planning, designing, building, transforming, remodelling and working assiduously to
actualise the vision of the Visitor.
He thanked Governor Sule Lamido for donating, on behalf of the government and the people of
Jigawa State, about 500 hectares of land and other take-off infrastructural facilities, including the
Model Secondary School, that facilitated the commencement of academic activities.
Prof. Okojie with Prof. Amin
The Vice-Chancellor pledged that the University will adhere strictly to its Laws and NUC’s
regulations in order to ensure standards and quality in its output and to avoid the mistakes of
older universities. He disclosed that the University has submitted its academic brief to NUC,
covering a period of 25 years, with a cost estimate and budget projection for the next 10 years.
On the Institution’s vision, he said it would resist the temptation, common among other
universities, of running diploma and remedial programmes for the sake of increasing Internally
Generated Revenue (IGR).
“At maturity the university would have a total of 10,000 undergraduate students. We will not be
tempted to run diploma and remedial programmes just to increase our internally generated
revenue. We shall leave this to other universities to handle. We are however looking forward to
meeting the requirement for the establishment of a School of Postgraduate Studies as soon as
possible”, Professor Amin said.
He stressed that the students admitted into the three take-off faculties were carefully screened
and selected after meeting the requirements for admission into the University, through
JAMB. The students’ distribution shows that the Faculty of Agriculture registered a total of 18
students for the B. Agric programme, Faculty of Arts, 60 for B.A English and Social Sciences,
81 students for the B.Sc. Criminology and Security Studies. The Faculty of Science has 22
registered students for Microbiology and 21 for B. Sc Mathematics.
Professor Amin expressed delight that the four foundation Deans and lecturers recruited were
ready to give their best at work. “Even among the younger lecturers, we have chosen the best
with great determination to advance the frontiers of knowledge. Our non-teaching staff were
Page 2

selected after going through the process of aptitude test and rigorous interviews. We are
confident that we have started building a winning team”, he said.
A cross section of matriculating students
He also disclosed that in the near future, the University would split the Faculty of Arts and Social
Sciences into two and at maturity, have a total of nine Faculties, as well as Schools of General
Studies and Postgraduate Studies. The projected Faculties are Education, Management and
Medicine in the short to medium term and Engineering and Law in the long term. “We shall also
establish two Research Centres: Centre for Social and Economic Research and Centre for Arid
Zone Ecology. These research centres will focus on issues relating to poverty, transformation of
the Almajiri education system and the deplorable and rapidly deteriorating Sahel environment,
among others.”
MIC Inspects Facilities at Federal University Otuoke
T
he Honourable Minister of Education,
Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i,
OON, has reiterated Government’s
determination to make universities relevant and
responsive to the needs of their immediate
environments. She said this on Thursday, 2
August, 2012, during a visit of the Ministerial
Implementation Committee (MIC) for the nine
new Federal universities, to the Federal
University, Otuoke (FUO), Bayelsa State.
Government, she said, planned to ensure that the
peculiar needs of the host communities are met
by the various universities. The Federal
University Otuoke, situated in an area of the
Niger Delta, characterised by wetlands and rich

in crude oil, with potentials for natural gas, she emphasised, is naturally expected to become a
Centre of Excellence (CoEx) that would address the various environmental issues in the region,
thus improving the lot of the local people in particular, and the nation in general.
The Minister noted that with the establishment of a Federal University at Otuoke, the town has
been transformed and it is bringing development closer to the people, adding that the unique
environmental and climatic challenges faced by the University, mainly water logging, had
slowed down the pace of infrastructural development on the campus. She commended the Vice-
Chancellor, Professor Mobolaji Aluko for tackling the challenges and for the remarkable
progress the University had made.
L-R Prof. Ebenezer Aluko, Prof. Julius Okojie, Hon. Seriake Dickson, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i and Dr. Jamila

The Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, Professor Julius Okojie, OON, said
the University boasts of critical mass of infrastructure required to commence academic activities
for Faculties of Science and Arts. He congratulated the University for the successful execution of
the Post-UTME and urged the management and staff to make quality its watch word.
Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson, had earlier received the delegation at the
Governor’s Lodge, Yenagoa, where he intimated the Committee of his administration’s desire to
make education the centre point of his development agenda. He decried the lack of qualified
human capital needed for national development, saying that the challenge needed to be tackled
from the basic education level.
He presented the Minister with samples of free uniforms, books and desks which, he said were
all part of measures to bring children of school age back to school. He added that beyond the
provision of these free educational materials, the State Executive Council had set aside funds to
ensure that education was accessible to all children at the basic education level. He also shared
with the delegation other initiatives of his administration, including, schools reconstruction and
welfare of staff. Staff quarters for headmasters are being constructed and boarding system
returned to secondary schools in the state.

He further assured the Minister that though the University was owned by the Federal
Government, the State was determined to contribute to making it a World Class institution since
the people of Bayelsa State were the primary beneficiaries. He expressed appreciation to the
Federal Government for establishing the University and commended the efforts of the Vice-
Chancellor, Professor Aluko and the Registrar, Mr. David Suowari, pledging his readiness to
support the University’s development.
The Chemistry Laboratory
Responding, Professor Rufa’i assured the Governor of the Ministry’s support for any initiative
that would improve the education of every Nigerian child, irrespective of gender and social
status.

NUC Lifts Suspension of Joseph Ayo Babalola
University, 2 Others
T
he National Universities Commission (NUC) has announced the lifting of the suspension
order placed on the Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU), Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State;
Achievers University, Owo, Ondo State and Tansian University, Umunya, Anambra
State. This followed the actions taken by the universities to rectify the infractions leading to the
suspension of their operational licences.
JABU’s suspension was lifted, following its withdrawal of the advertised postgraduate
programmes, as well as the stoppage of both the
Part-time and Bridge Programmes, as directed
by NUC, among other issues.
A letter from the NUC Management, to the
University, dated 16 th July, 2012, reads inter
alia: “the Commission is satisfied with the
actions so far taken by the University, as well as
the assurances of the Vice-Chancellor and the
Board of Trustees during our interactions and
verification of documents. Consequently, the
suspension of operational licence of Joseph Ayo
Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State
has been lifted with effect from 16 th July, 2012.
The Commission however, stressed that it would
continue to monitor the University’s
implementation of the agreed actions, including
full compliance with other regulatory guidelines.
Prof. Julius Okojie
Executive Secretary, NUC
In a similar vein, NUC lifted the suspension of Achievers University, Owo, via a letter dated 17 th
July, 2012, having satisfied the conditions that led to the earlier suspension, including the
representation made to the Commission by the Board of Trustees and Principal Officers of the
University, the pledge by the Board of Trustees to respect the functions of the different organs of
the University as enshrined in the University Law and stoppage of the Bridge programme
pending clearance with the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
On Tansian University, the Commission lifted the suspension with effect from 2 nd August, 2012,
having taken actions that include compliance with the Commission’s directive not to graduate
students enrolled illegally in part- time programmes before the University was licensed in 2007
as evident in the convocation brochure, reconstitution of the Board of Trustees (BOT) in line
with the Commission’s directive that an old member of the BOT be appointed acting Chairman,
while the names of the two persons replacing the two erstwhile members be forwarded to the
State Security Service for security clearance; removal of the proprietor (Very Rev. Msgr. J.B.
Akam) as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council and the Reconstitution of the University’s
Governing Council with the appointment of Professor Pete Uzoegbu as the new Pro-Chancellor
and Chairman of Council, among others.

In a letter conveying the decision, the Commission, said it shall soon send a team to conduct a
forensic audit covering all ramifications of the University’s operations and shall continue to
monitor the University’s implementation of the agreed actions and continuous compliance with
the Commission’s extant guidelines and regulations.
The forensic audit, which begins next week, will cover all the universities that had their licences
suspended. These include Madonna University, Okija; Achiever’s University, Owo; Tansian
University, Umunya; Caritas University, Amorji-Nike, Lead City University, Ibadan; and Joseph
Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji.
World Bank to Partner NUC on Centres of Excellence
AWorld Bank (WB) delegation led by an Economist, Mr. Andreas Blom, on Tuesday, 1
August, 2012, met with the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission
(NUC), Professor Julius Okojie, OON, to seek partnership in establishing centres of
excellence in Nigerian universities and other higher educational institutions in Africa. The
centres are expected to meet the needs of government, the private sector, universities and
students. In his remarks, Mr Blom said the Bank was ready to partner with the Commission to
address the shortage of specialised human capital within the key development sectors, such as
energy, natural resources, health, agriculture, among others, in Nigeria.
The objectives of the proposed African Centres of Excellence (Coex) project are, to promote
regional specialisation among participating universities on specific areas of common regional
developmental needs and strengthen capacity for the delivery of higher quality training and
applied research. The project, when completed, would address the demand for skills required for
Africa’s development like the extractive and power industries, water management, agricultural
productivity, improved child and maternal health and communicable diseases”, he said.
L-R Dr. Joshua Atah, Prof. Wole Soboyejo, Prof. Julius Okojie, Mr. Andreas Blom and Prof. Lawal Bichi
Mr. Blom explained that the project would also strengthen best African universities and build a
foundation for Africa to increase technology absorption with competitive advantage, through
applied research to, strengthen the postgraduate programmes for a regional student body;
establish and provide short term specialised courses for industry professionals; improve faculty
qualification and possibly fund additional top level faculties, as well as provide learning
Page 7

esources, laboratories and minor rehabilitation of existing facilities. Others, he said, are to,
establish linkages with companies for work place learning, input into curricula, consultancies and
joint research; collaborate with partner institutions to share the benefits of the investments, for
example, through training of faculty and sharing of learning resources, as well as facilitate talent
mobility, through scholarship.
The Economist said the project consists of two components. The first aims at building capacity in
competitively selected institutions that would produce in-demand high skilled labour and applied
research, while the other would be facilitating regional impact through talent and labour
mobility, support of measurement and evaluation and project management activities.
Responding, Professor Okojie said the Commission was ready to enter into any genuine
partnership that will improve standards and quality in the NUS and encourage research. He
added that the tripartite functions of university are for learning, research and community service,
stressing that universities were expected to have a balanced town and gown relationship, so as to
produce well-rounded graduates that would drive development in the society.
He was optimistic that the next generation of entrepreneurs would bring in innovation into the
System, noting that this was why the President Goodluck Jonathan instituted the Presidential
Scholarship Scheme for Innovation and Development (PRESSID).
The NUC scribe said the Commission would continue to ensure the orderly development of a
well-coordinated and productive university education in Nigeria, irrespective of the challenges
posed by the operation of degree mills and some universities that violate NUC’s extant rules. He
also said the Commission would soon carry out a forensic audit of all Nigerian Universities in
order to identify the flaws in the system.
At the meeting was the President and Provost, African University of Science and Technology
(AUST), Professor Wole Soboyejo and the NUC’s head of ICT Project, Dr. Joshua Attah

Re: Call for Proposals for areas related to Green
Technology and Aircraft
The Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative calls for proposals for areas related to Green
technology and aircraft.
The areas covered by the call include:
- eco design;
- green regional aircraft;
Page 18

- green rotorcraft;
- sustainable and green engines;
- smart fixed wing aircraft;
- systems for green operations;
- technology evaluator.
An Aircraft has a 30-year service life, and new aviation design takes more than a decade to
develop. The aim of Clean Sky is to develop breakthrough technologies to significantly increase
the environmental performance of airplanes and air transport. This will result in less noisy and
more fuel efficient aircraft, bringing a key contribution in achieving the Single European Sky
environmental objectives. The accelerated research process used by Clean Sky is an opportunity
for rapid progress in the introduction of green technology into aviation.
The joint technology initiative (JTI) started in 2008 and is a public-private partnership between
the European Commission and industry stakeholders.

NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES COMMISSION
List of Universities with Approved Postgraduate Programmes
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has observed with great concern that some
Nigerian universities are running unapproved postgraduate programmes, leading to the award of
Masters and PhD degrees. The Commission has also observed that some Parastatals and
Institutes are awarding these same Postgraduate degrees, either on their own or through
unapproved affiliations with Nigerian and foreign Universities. Such practices are not only
unethical, but also antithetical to time-tested quality assurance best practices. The
