The Vice-Chancellor of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State, Dapo Asaju, has expressed his disaffection over what he described as overindulgence of the students by their parents, and has warned about raising the “next generation with the same corrupt and indisciplined ethos that has ruined Nigeria”.
Mr Asaju’s letter was in reaction to protests among some parents who had complained that their children were being treated like “secondary school students.” “Our parents think their children only do well when they flout rules and regulations simply because they claim they have paid fees. It is quite unfortunate, but when parents have failed in their responsibilities, where else do we run to? I am afraid of the future of this country, if right-thinking men and women do not rise to salvage the situation. Our societal problems have been traced to the homes and until the homes are fixed, we will just be working in vain.
It is not common for VCs to exchange words with parents or students over matters of University rules, discipline and morals. I’m not sure you individual parents interacted with your VCs where you studied. My simplicity and availability has been abused and that has to be withdrawn forthwith. 4. Do you know that the hostels, except one, do not belong to the University and that we remit the rent to the owners who do not maintain the facilities? We spend our own money to carry out repairs in hostels that do not belong to us. In this last semester we have spent about 5 million Naira to repair facilities including providing alternative water system, purchase 185 fans, sockets, toilets, nets, etc.
