The Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria recently asked its members not to submit lecture notes for e-learning or participate in virtual meetings due to poor funding by the Nigerian government.on Monday spoke to the National President of the union, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, on the prospects and challenges of e-learning in Nigerian universities. ASUU fundamentally does not have any objection to e-learning.
The definition we are giving e-learning in Nigeria today is shallow; it doesn't reflect the state of our infrastructure; it doesn't reflect the demands of e-learning so if we do a corrupt form of e-learning then it means that we are just begging the question. We found that facilities in those universities are totally in bad shape. Every time we said rot and decay, the government disputed so they said let us go and see and what they saw embarrassed them because we went to the first-generation university and discovered that some of the equipment they are using to train engineers and scientists were bought way back in the '60s. We found in a first-generation university where they were using Kerosene stove in place of Bunsen burners and dry taps.
What is the body language of President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government to tertiary education in Nigeria? That is why we keep saying that it's just lip service; we have come to discover that politicians are the same and we are not impressed. The declarations on prioritizing education, we will fix Nigeria's education; they are all cheap words. Our politicians are the same; we don't see visible actions that will convince us that they prioritise education.
