Don’t award doctorate like chieftaincy titles, Wike cautions varsities

The governor emphasised that serious universities jealously guard their reputation and award doctoral degrees only to students who have gone through years of rigorous intellectual research and interrogation and whose dissertation is independently adjudged to be sound and contributory to new learning.

He, however, described as unfortunate, the current trend and practice in universities, including the Rivers State University, to award doctoral degrees indiscriminately, like chieftaincy titles, to all manner of questionable candidates. “This practice must stop in all Rivers State government-owned tertiary institutions as we demand greater character, commitment and responsibility from staff and management to the vision and fundamental objectives of university education.

“First of all, the programmes that you offer must equip the students with relevant skills, entrepreneurial or otherwise so that on graduation they can start their own businesses and professional practice and become creators of jobs from the beginning; and not jobless seekers of elusive jobs,” the governor stated.All rights reserved.

Let's go, Follow for a quick follow back I promise 🙏

Tell them oooo but wait ooo them no go hear oooo. I asked a claimed MSc graduate today what was her academic discipline which she obtained her degree, the answer I got was that the discipline was much but she is happy to have obtained MSc.

You're right, is telling on us here, we do everything here ourselves as a dentist.

Hmmm... I pray we don’t get to that level... because as it stands, e be like say chieftaincy go soon hold water pass doctorate sef...

Sad enough!! We are gradually getting to that level. Because you guys have refused to fund our universities.
