The
former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Professor Kelvin
Etta has attributed the falling standard of education and production of
half-baked graduates in Nigeria to lecturers' indiscipline.
Etta said lecturers desperation for money is also responsible for the falling standard of education in Nigeria.
While
speaking during a programme organised by Leaders of Tomorrow in Cross
River, Etta said the desire to make more money among academic and
non-academic staff in Nigerian Universities has contributed to the
production of unproductive graduates in Nigerian Universities.
Etta
who is the pioneer Vice Chancellor of the University of the Cross-River
University of Technology, CRUTECH, therefore called for a holistic
reform of the Nigerian education sector.
During
his tenure as a Vice-Chancellor, Etta is said to have brought reforms
to both the University of Calabar and Cross River University of
Technology.
