" TREAT UNIVERSITIES LIKE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL" UNIBADAN VICE CHANCELLOR University education in the country is facing mirage of challenges centered on poor funding and management . In this exclusive interview, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole, MB BS, FMCOG, FWACS, expressed concern over poor. He also spoke on the “The UI glows project”, renaming of universities , while calling on the government to accord federal universities the status of a local government council . How prepared is UI to combat terrorists' threats, theft and other criminality in the country. Prof. Adewole: We have also adopted a comprehensive approach, which include networking with security agencies ,training and retaining of our security personnel, provision of equipment for campus patrol and monitoring, we are also engaging every member of the university community to be security conscious at all time. We are also at the verge of installing CCTV cameras in strategic positions on campus. The University of Ibadan is having constant electricity and water in the past one month after the students’ protest, what is different now? Prof Adewole: The twenty four hours electricity on campus is the outcome of a comprehensive approach to addressing the energy challenge in the institution. When we came on board on 1st of December,, we reengaged the Power Holding Company of Nigeria and also rehabilitated the 33KVA sub station so that the university can access electricity from his two main lines ,at Ayede and Ibadan north at Shasha. The line at the Ibadan North has been abandoned but we discovered this was a major source of electricity so we started the rehabilitation and we committed over 250million to ensure the lines are functioning. We are also made use of our four brand new generators which can produce about 8KVA . With these we also looked into local generation which is the use of the Inverter, so at night when all fail, our halls glow with the use of the inverter , University of Ibadan is the first to make use of inverter in the country. But we are not stopping on our oars as we also looking into our fourth leg of the comprehensive approach , which is renewable energy supply. With these, we can boost of twenty four hour electricity. How soon is the University of Ibadan set to achieve its target of a post graduate institution? Prof Adewole: We are looking at the next five years, for now the ratio of the postgraduate students to the undergraduates is 50/50, but we are targeting a ration of 60/40 , and in doing this, we are employing more graduate assistants, we are on the verge of building a PG library at Ajibode. We are also improving the Kenneth Dike library in order to make it visually accessible ,;also we are engaging with the private sector to build more hostels for our ladies ,we are also improving on the academics by upgrading our laboratories, lecture halls with electronic boards and teleconferencing . These are whole new areas we are working on. How will the University of Ibadan react to a name change like what the federal government did with the University of Lagos? Prof. Adewole : We will consult . We will appeal to the government because UI is a brand name and changing the name of a 63 years old man is rather too late. We will not support violence but we will appeal to the government to reconsider; and on the assumption that students who would have changed from UNILAG to UI due to the name change, I do not think this is necessary and moreover we have a quota for the university. Post graduate students complained of shabby treatment from staff. What is been done to address this? Prof. Adewole; our post graduate students are special and we treat them with respect. If there is any case of such, we will look into it to stop such from reoccurring . There is clamour for better funding for university do you has enough fund to run UI? Prof. Adewole: What the university gets is enough, if the federal government takes over the municipal aspect of running the universities. Utilities like roads, water, and electricity among others are not the business of the university. It is the duty of the proprietor which in this case is the federal government. I feel the university should be accorded the status of local government, where they get direct subvention to run their affairs . On our part in improving internal revenue generation, we are engaging in commercial fish farming, so that wherever there is water on our campus, you will see a fish farm, we are also looking into the future where UI will generate electricity for Nigerians. A lot is on the pipeline to achieving self sufficiency soon.
