The Vice Chancellor, McPherson University, Prof. Francis Igbasan, yesterday said Nigerian universities are capable of providing solutions to the various challenges facing the country, saying what it needed is attitudinal change on the part of the society.
He maintained that the universities are institutions for research that provide solutions to any problem facing individual or the society, stating that by getting it right as it is done in saner clime, “our universities would be harbingers of solutions to the challenges facing the country.” “It so sad that today, our people neglect the right places to go in search of solutions to their problems. What I think we are lacking is the attitude to do things properly, it is only when we inculcate the ability to do things right that this country can move forward as a nation. Our problem in the country is that town and gown relationship is lacking.”
The vice chancellor, while speaking on the convocation ceremony, said it would include the investiture of the third Chancellor of the university, Dr. Mutiu Sunmonu; the conferment of honorary degree, award of first degrees and presentation of prizes
