This book was released on 1965 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the first thesis on Nigerian education by a Nigerian was completed in 1946, several others have followed in quick succession. These studies critically examined the education system from the points of view of the qualification of its teaching staff, the effectiveness of its administration, the adequacy of its curricula and of the instructional methods used, the suitability of its facilities, the extent of its support by the Nigerian public, and the abilities and attitudes of its students. Most of these studies found that the Nigerian education system was a wholesale "export" of the types of education that enjoyed the most esteem in Europe, particularly in England, and which was only just adequate in supplying the needs of the Christian missions for teachers and preachers and of the colonial government for clerks and workers for the subordinate ranks of the administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Struggles of Post-Independence Nigeria, Ucheoma Nwagbara argues that despite Nigeria’s oil wealth and arable agricultural land, Nigerians are not any better today than they were before independence. Nwagbara examines Nigeria’s struggles with corruption, reckless government spending, poverty, inequality, crime, and violent insurgency to show how successive Nigerian leadership has failed to utilize the country’s enormous natural and human resources to improve citizens’ lives, eradicate poverty, and deliver broadly shared prosperity, especially to the middle class and the poor. Through his analysis, Nwagbara demonstrates that the nationalist ideals of dedicated and accountable leadership behind the struggle for independence in Nigeria have been betrayed as the emergent post-colonial leadership cared only for personal survival and gain. Despite these failures, Nwagbara reveals that Nigeria may still have a chance to improve and recover if Nigerians unite and demand real change through political and social activism.

Download or read book Nigeria’s University Age written by Tim Livsey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the world of Nigerian universities to offer an innovative perspective on the history of development and decolonisation from the 1930s to the 1960s. Using political, cultural and spatial approaches, the book shows that Nigerians and foreign donors alike saw the nation’s new universities as vital institutions: a means to educate future national leaders, drive economic growth, and make a modern Nigeria. Universities were vibrant places, centres of nightlife, dance, and the construction of spectacular buildings, as well as teaching and research. At universities, students, scholars, visionaries, and rebels considered and contested colonialism, the global Cold War, and the future of Nigeria. University life was shaped by, and formative to, experiences of development and decolonisation. The book will be of interest to historians of Africa, empire, education, architecture, and the Cold War.

Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN, the first indigenous university in Nigeria and the first land grant university in Africa. This dissertation argues that UNN represented an innovative experiment in African higher education by expanding higher education to the general populace rather than the colonially privileged elite. However, its construction drew upon patronage politics and taxation regimes that expropriated funding at the same time other regions faced education taxes. Resistance to the University's construction reflected local sentiments of inequitable distribution of tax resources throughout Nigeria's Eastern Region. The University also served as a mechanism in post-independence Nigerian geopolitics: as a mechanism for removing the influence of the British-established University College, Ibadan and British educational models more generally. The University of Nigeria, Nsukka would be, as Taiye Selasi and Achille Mbembe have phrased it, an "Afro-politan" institution—porous and all-encompassing of knowledge systems throughout the globe. During the Nigeria-Biafra war, UNN faced sustained wartime damage—damage from it could not easily recover. The Nigeria-Biafra war laid the groundwork for a period of sustained infrastructural decay and internal resistance, even as the Nigerian federal government enjoyed larger access to oil revenue. This dissertation examines what makes African institutions "indigenous" and how UNN represented the halting transformation from coloniality to indigeneity in the post-independence Nigerian nation-state.

This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since gaining its independence in 1960, Nigeria has never really existed as a unified nation, but rather as scattered tribal sects that often fail to coexist with one another peacefully. This uneasy alliance has led to civil war in the past, and is responsible for the continuing conflict between Muslims and Christians that exists in Nigeria today. Because of these deeply embedded political constraints, Nigeria has also fallen behind in terms of economic development. However Nigeria is not a nation without resources. Many of Nigeria's conflicts are centered around oil. As it stands currently, Nigeria's wealth is concentrated in the hands of the ruling elite and little has been done to improve the situation of the poorest segments of the population. But the prolonged and dismal situation in the Nigerian economy that serves as the inspiration behind The Political Constraints on Nigerian Economic Development Since the Independence is not without a potential solution. Author Cajetan Iwunze intended this book as more than just a statement against the tribal nationalism and the economic bandits that continue to loot the country. It also aims to suggest that if there is a solution, it lies in reforming the country's institutions so that Nigeria's oil wealth can be used for the benefit of everyone. Although he currently lives in the UK, Cajetan Iwunze was born in eastern Nigeria. Mr. Iwunze is an international human rights campaigner, writer and teacher who serves as the Director of Professional Tutors Ltd. and the CEO of Dyswrite Ltd.

Book excerpt: Serving the Common Good combines critical analysis and interpretation of theory and practice for higher education in Africa and in the West. It demonstrates the current urgent need to articulate an educational ideal relevant to the cultural, economic, political, and social problems of the twenty-first century. Utilizing Julius K. Nyerere's vision of education for the common good - a pragmatically balanced articulation of a postcolonial African perspective on higher education - Kiluba L. Nkulu emphasizes a human-centered approach to community and national development. Serving the Common Good offers a provocative and unique perspective on the state of higher education in Africa, and will be useful in courses on African Studies, Education and Society, Educational Foundations and Inquiry, Higher Education and Leadership, Political Economy, and Sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an account of de-colonialization in Nigeria as seen through the eyes of a Nigerian political leader who was closely involved in the process. This book is therefore partly a biography of a man, Adegoke Adelabu; much more though, it tells in a highly personal and intriguing way how a Nigerian politician operated in the last years of colonial rule. The story of Adelabu's life is an interesting one. He is an example of one of the 'new men' who led African nations to independence in the fifties and sixties. His family was not closely connected with the traditional chieftainships of his native city, Ibadan, but he was sufficiently well placed to take advantage of such secondary school education as was available to African boys in the thirties. After a number of vicissitudes, involving abortive careers as a government official, working for one of the big British trading concerns and on his own account, Adelabu found his role as a popular leader and 'boss' of Ibadan politics.
