It’s Deputy Executive Secretary, Dr Biodun Saliu, raised the alarm while delivering the 7th Annual Registry lecture, held at the Elizade University,lara- Mokin, Ondo state.

” A number of Nigerian Universities have experienced so many cases of kidnap and abduction of members of the university community. ” The rising insecurity in the country, which also affects our universities is hindering teaching and research activities and undoubtedly the general well-being of the institution.

On the way forward, Dr Saliu called for improved funding, strengthening of the National Universities Commission by law, timely curriculum re- engineering and review, and timely reviews of quality assurance instruments by the National Universities Commission and strategic planning to set priorities. The former Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Technology, Akure , Prof Adebisi Balogun, faulted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for reviewing the members of the governing council of the universities barely one year after the dissolution of the former board.
