Planned trial of CJN Onnoghen at CCT unconstitutional- Afe Babalola

A university don and administrator, Chief Afe Babalola(SAN), has advised the Federal Ministry of Education and National University Commission to introduce a unified examination across all universities for final students.

This, he said, would help restore sanity to the education system and allow for a healthy competition within the system.

The former Pro-Chancellor of the University of Lagos made this suggestion on Monday during the 10th matriculation ceremony and award conferments on alumni of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti(ABUAD).

Afe, who is the proprietor of the institution said he would put his suggestion to paper and forward same to the federal government for consideration.

He said, “I want to suggest to NUC and the Ministry of education that in order to maintain quality and high standard in Nigerian universities , the final year in all programmes across all our universities should take the same national final examinations.

“In this way, every university shall work hard to ensure that their students pass the national examination thereby ensuring high standard in teaching and learning. ”

“I am going to present a position paper to FG on this and those with influences should join in pushing it.

“What we have done here in ABUAD is education revolution.”

“We have built new generation of Nigerians, I mean a new Nigeria. We are building students who are honest, morally upright and hardworking,” he noted.
