Mr. Baale, who made the call lastTuesday (May 30, 2017) while delivering theSecond Annual Registry Lecture of theUniversity of Ilorin, said this is necessary inorder for Nigerian universities to be able tocompete favourably with top universities inthe world.

The don said that theinvention was put together by him andsome students of the Department. Hegave the names of the students, whoare currently on their mandatorynational service in different parts ofthe country, as Messrs T.A. Olalekan,R. B. Adepoju, D.O. Itodo and M.O.Dickson.

Dr. Akorede said, “I gave theproject to my undergraduate students;they carried out the project to a leveland I took it over and brought it to alevel that was up to a standard that wepresented it at the NURESDEF,Abuja, a couple of months ago”. Headded that the invention is now up tothe standard that it can be patented.

The don said, “I have broughtthis to the attention of the IbadanElectricity Distribution Company(IBEDC) although not officially”,adding that “if adopted, the devicewould enable distribution companiesto cut their commercial lossessubstantially”.

He said, “People like to useelectricity without paying for it. A lotof people that have been able to get the

prepaid meter even though they canafford to pay their bills still want tobypass this thing to steal electricityand this is not helping thecompanies; it is not helping all of usas a whole. If the industry shouldcollapse, everybody would bear thebrunt of that problem and that is whythe consumers too have to share outof the problem.”

W h i l e n o t i n g t h a tDistribution Companies (DISCOs)also have their share of the blame byn o t w a n t i n g t o t a k e o nresponsibilities such as faultyt r a n s f o r m e r s , D r. A k o r e d ebemoaned the lack of political will,inadequate funding as well asobsolete infrastructure in theindustry for the current problemassociated with power failures in thecountry.

Pointing out that the tripartitearms of generation, transmission anddistribution “lack adequate fundingin the sense that some of theequipment they are using are over-aged and they need to be replaced”,Dr. Akorede explained that “they

need funding to expand theirfacilities such that a transformer, forexample, will not be overloaded,because if power is supplied to anoverloaded transformer, it means thecustomers will not enjoy goodquality electricity supply.”

The Head of Department alsonoted that the current clamour forgeneration companies to sell powerdirectly to consumers may not makemuch difference in boosting powersupply to Nigerians.

He said, “Technically, I don'tthink it would work out fine; I don'tthink there is going to be muchdifference as such… that is likely toadd to the problem in the energyindustry because we already havepeople managing distribution whileanother is managing transmissionfrom generation companies to makei t ava i lab le to d is t r ibu t ioncompanies. Each of thesestakeholders is looking at thespecific roles given to them. So, if itis now muddled up again, I thinkthere will be problem in the society.”

The Harvard Business Schoolgraduate, who chaired the occatson,commended the University of Ilorinfor hosting such a lecture.

Promising to partner theRegistry for the annual lecture series,Dr. Omotosho disclosed that hisfoundation had acquired 15 hectaresof land for its youth empowermentprogramme, which he said would

The Chairman called onNigerians to be their brothers'keepers, saying that those who are notwell catered for in the society wouldbecome a problem to the nation after awhile.

Earlier in his welcomeaddress, the Registrar of theUniversity of Ilorin, Mr. EmmanuelDada Obafemi, said that the Lecturemarks the sustenance of the dream tocreate an enduring forum for trainingand re-training of staff of the RegistryDepartment of the University.

Mr. Obafemi submitted thatfor the administrator to succeed, he isexpected to possess cutting-edgecompetencies to interpret regulationsand advise management properly inthe day-to-day running of theUniversity.

In the lecture, entitled “TheEffects of Economic Recession,Reverberations and SustainableRecovery in Nigerian Universities”,the Guest Lecturer explained thatNigerian universities are laggingbehind when compared to theircounterparts in the advancedcountries. He stressed the need forUniversities to focus on meeting theneeds of the staff members as anincentive to make them drive thechange that is required for theuniversities to compete globally.

Mr. Baale, who is theFacilitator and Mentor for the FateFoundation, said that while lecturersmust continue to use the Face-To-Face class model of teaching, there isalso the need for the introduction ofe - l e a r n i n g a s s u p p o r t o freinforcement of class teachings.

He said, “As costs continue torise, and tuition increases are capped,along with state funding cuts, abottleneck will likely occur”,stressing that “e-learning can serve asa solution because it can increase thenumber of students being served, andit has lower administrative costs andprovides an additional revenuestream”.

The Guest Lecturer adviseduniversities to “arrange for incubatorapproach training of instructors todevelop and teach highly effectiveonline courses”, saying, “during theprogramme, instructors can learntechniques to design and enhance thee-learning experience and have theopportunity to apply the informationgleaned from the training to createtheir own online course.”

Mr. Baale stressed that the

emphasis in the universities shouldbe on learning and not teaching as hesuggested the establishment of ateaching innovation award to rewardexperimentation and new methods inteaching. He said that the awardwould be most impactful if it targetedindividuals who initially expressedresistance to new model of learning,but who eventually achieved successand became enthusiastic about it.

The Guest Lecturer statedthat universities must partner withthe Private Sector not just fordonation of resources to support theirprojects but to provide opportunitiesfor practical mentoring of students.

Pointing out that the onceidentifiable boundary of themarketplaces and industries hasbecome permeable, Mr. Baale said,“Now they shift continuously,sometimes slowly, sometimesquickly, but always feeling slightlyb e y o n d o u r g r a s p . I n t h i senvironment, leaders must realizethat a sustainable future is onlypossible if organizations cancollaborate with Universities tosense, adapt, and respond to change;if they can help their organizationsevolve with an evolving world”.

According to the trainedP h a r m a c i s t , t h e N i g e r i a nUniversities must embrace strategiesthat will facilitate innovation if theywant to provide quality educationand remain in leadership positions inthe field of higher education.

Mr. Baale advocated theadoption of the Experiential ActionLearning Model to encourage a cycleof learning, taking action andlearning from both failures and

successes, explaining that it wouldproduce a new set of graduates withnot just knowledge, but also withskills and the right attitude to meettoday's marketplace challenges.

In his opening address, theVice-Chancellor of the University ofIlorin and Chief Host of the RegistryLecture Series, Prof. AbdulGaniyuAmbali (OON), expressed delightthat the country is inching her wayout of recession.

Prof. Ambali noted that thequest for a sustainable recovery in thenation's economy made the topic ofthe second Registry Lecture Seriesapt and timely, adding that theRegistry, which is a core organ of theUniversity, must understand its rolein sustainable economic recovery.

T h e Vi c e - C h a n c e l l o rcongratulated the Registrar, Mr.Emmanuel Obafemi, on thesuccessful hosting of the secondedition of the lecture and for theinnovation he had brought to bear onthe system, noting that the lectureseries has given the University aquantum leap in development.

Mrs. Ahmed noted that “goodeducation with relevant certificateswithout employment is never a creditto any nation and that is why I

commend the Registry and Registrarsof Universities, Unilorin being chiefamong them, for providing goodemployment and periodic skillenhancement training to some of ourfuture leaders in the academicenvironment”.

She congra tu la ted theRegistrar for putting the lecture seriestogether while also describing thetopic as very relevant to the currenttrend of events in the nation withregards to the economic recession.

The Entomologist, whodescribed insects as the “mostsuccessful and influential group oforganisms in the biosphere”, notedthat humans have a lot to learn fromthem in order “to get wise.”

Dwelling extensively on threeo f such insec t s -

mosquitoes and thehoney bees, the Inaugural Lecturerobserved that “human life is besetwith inevitable associations withinsects that have over the yearsinfluenced human destiny positivelyand negatively”.

According to him, “negativein f luences , such as d i seasetransmission, crop losses, foodspoilage, economic losses andnuisance value caused by less than 5%of insect species have beenexaggerated by man, while the moreextensive positive influences ofinsects which include pollination offlowers, waste recycling, ecosystemsustenance activities, use as source ofsilk, shellac, cochineal, therapeuticagents, aesthetics, biological controlagents and food source are howeverunappreciated and down-played”.

Prof. Ande opined that man“ d e l i b e r a t e l y m i s c o n s t r u e smosquitoes' role and frequentlydescribes them as causing the diseasesthey transmit: a case of calling a dog abad name to nail it, when in the actualsense, the mosquitoes are equally sickbut inadvertently and unwillinglyconvey pathogens that are the realcausal agents of these diseases.”

According to the don, thefemale mosquito could be “describedas an example of a true mother( )” who “is forced toundertake a 'suicide mission' in its bidto provide for its unborn children.” Heexplained that “adult femalemosquitoes have exceptional valuefor child raising hence the level ofcommitment and risk they take on themission that entails a decisionbetween life and death.”

“The after effect of thiscommitment is a well thought-outplan that forestalls most of the factorsmay stand in the way of raising goodchildren. I am sure most human

females will not take comparabledecision in the face of similarattendant risks. It is however certainthat children born after well thoughtout and risky conditions are betterposited for quality living than thoseproduced carelessly.”

“For the human race toimprove, our dear ladies must viewchild bearing as a serious business thatrequires fortified planning aimed atproviding and ensuring quality livingand survival of our offspring. Thiswill drastically reduce the incidencesof unwanted pregnancies, streetchildren and will surely checkmatepopulation explosion constructively”he said.

Prof. Ande explained that“mosquitoes have proved to us overthe years that they are our friends andallies and whether we like them or notthey will exist and continue to sourceblood from us”, adding that“un fo r tuna t e ly, ou r l ack o funderstanding and intolerance hasbeen largely responsible for the use ofungodly methods to handle them”.

According to him, the wiseway out is to get more friendly withthem and use ecologically compatiblemethods against them. “My advice isstop killing mosquitoes; they arefriends and they deserve to beproperly managed”, he added.

The Entomologist pointed outthat the honey bees “sting as a lastresort because it has a cost that isultimate, i.e. the demise of the stinger;thus it is a suicidal mission but for agood purpose which is the survival orprotection of the colony thereafter”.

Noting that “humans, havingdiscovered the goodness of honey,have resorted to the use of smoke andfire (arson) to prosecute forcefulharvest, hence committing an actioncomparable to an armed robberyexercise”, Prof. Ande stated that “thispractice over the decades has affectedthe quality and quantity of honeyavailable and the life system of theecosystem adversely, as the bee's rolein pollination has been heavilycompromised.

The don suggested that toforestall these drawbacks, honey bee

farming (Apiculture) should beencouraged”, “as it will improvehoney quality and production, providejob opportunities, enhance beepresence in the ecosystem, enhancepollination, and improve cropproduction: all of which are highlydesirable and required qualities forour ailing ecosystem.”

Blaming Zoologists for therelegation of the discipline incontemporary times, a situation whichhe said, had affected “the quality ofstudents, young lecturers and theentire educational system of ournation”, the scholar called for theestablishment of an insect museum inUnilorin “to curate insect species inthe Middle Belt region of Nigeria.”

According to him, “AsAfricans and indeed NigerianBiologists and Naturalists, it is anunpardonable disservice to beoblivious of the identity and record ofour animals, only to fall back on ourcolonial masters 50 years afterindependence. At the very least and asa matter of urgency we need toestablish a Nigerian museum thatcorrectly identifies and stocksNigerian insects. Biologists shouldalso note that strange specimensshould never be assumed to be newun t i l a f t e r conf i rming wi thinternational museums.”

Prof. Ande called for theimprovement of the Zoologycurriculum to ensure better focus onorganisms that feature prominentlyaround us, as well as the promotion ofpractical classes that 'enable thedemons t ra t ion of zoologica ltechniques, diagrammatic expressionwhich Zoology is renowned for…'

T h e d o n , w h o a l s oc o m m e n d e d t h e U n i v e r s i t ymanagement for establishing theUnilorin Zoo, however remarked that,“Zoologists are expected to be thefoster 'parents' of the animals in theZoo and should be familiar with theirneeds and their health status.Committing the Zoo to veterinarydoctors is like a parent (Zoologist)yielding over his children to familydoctor for their welfare.”

The Chief Imam and Missionerof the United Kingdom-basedAnsaru Rahman Islamic

Association, Shykh Muhyideen Al-Kubrah, has stressed the need forquality parenting, saying that it isindispensable in our quest for nationaldevelopment.

Shykh Muhyideen, who madethis observation penultimate Saturday(May 27, 2017) while delivering theNinth Sheikh Mukhtar Isale-KotoAnnual Ramadan Lecture held at theUniversity of Ilorin Auditorium,pointed out that before qualityparenting could be said to have beende l ive red , lo t s o f pa t i ence ,perseverance, sacrifice and disciplineare required to raise a good child whowill be an asset to the humancommunity.

In the lecture, entitled“Patience as Key to Success”, theGuest Lecturer underscored theimportance of travelling as part ofeducation, noting that travellers oftenbecome happy on account of their newexperiences, migrants earn betterliving, better education and wisdomand their spheres of influence arebroadened through making newfriends.

The octogenarian describedthe Annual Ramadan lecture as aproduct of quality lineage and nobleparenting, which are evident as thefactors that define the emulativecharacter of the convener of theLecture, Mr. Lukman Mukhtar of the

Bursary Unit, University of Ilorin.Shykh Muyideen noted that

the convener of the lecture is anepitome of the timeless qualities andlessons, adding that he never knewthe young man until he came toLondon on study and he provedhimself as a worthy ambassador ofhis parents and all that he represents.

In his own lecture whichdwelt on recession, a Deputy Bursarat the University of Ilorin, Mr.Abdulbarki Oba, defined recessionas negative economic growth for twoconsecutive quarters in a year. Henoted that it is possible for a family tobe on economic recession while therest of the country is experiencinggrowth where such a family isspending more than its income.

Mr. Abdulbarki suggestedthat child labour is not necessarily anegative activity as he and membersof his age group hawked to augmentthe family income while they werechildren, yet many of them turnedout as successful professionals..

In his goodwill message, theSpeaker of the Kwara State House ofAssembly, Dr. Ali Ahmad, lamentedthe fading character of Ilorin as anIslamic city, noting that whilecontemporary Ilorin indigenes arebenefitting from the foundation laidtwo centuries ago, the generation isnot bestowing legacies that could lastfor the next 200 years.

Dr. Ahmad, therefore, calledfor the introduction of cultural events

that will be themed around Islam asobtainable in the Ojude Oba Festivalin Ijebu Ode held during the Eid-alAdha.

While appreciating theguests who converged from far andwide, the convener of the AnnualRamadan lecture, Mr. LukmanMukhtar Isale-Koto, called for a shiftfrom the thinking that troublesomechildren are only fit for Islamicschools and challenged the managersof traditional Arabic schools toupgrade their services by provingchildren friendly environment whichis conducive to learning.

Other dignitaries at thelecture included the immediate pastD e p u t y V i c e - C h a n c e l l o r(Management Services), Universityof Ilorin, Prof. Y. M.

The Union of Campus Journalists (UCJ), a body ofversatile and responsible students impassionedby self-development, organised its annual Press

Week last week during which it featured a number ofactivities. One of the highlights of the Week was itsformal opening on Tuesday, May 30, 2017and the incisivelecture delivered by the Head of Mass CommunicationDepartment, Dr (Mrs) Saudah S. Abdulbaqi, on“Sociojournalism: The Future of Journalism”.

The occasion was graced by the Sub-Dean of theFaculty of Communication and Information Sciences, Dr.Lukuman A. Azeez, the Chairman, Nigerian Union ofJournalists (NUJ), Kwara State Council, Mr. AbiodunAbdulkareem, a former UCJ President, Engr. WaliyullahOlayiwola, among others. Each of them contributed to thesuccess of the day.

My own intervention was to draw attention to theneed of the moment using two books as the backbone ofmy short discourse. These are Alvin Toffler's

(1970) and James Scott's(1994). The thesis of my submission essentially was self-development and acquisition of skills, especiallycommunication, as a way of surviving the shark-infestedwaters of the fast-changing contemporary life.

Many jobs will soon become “irrelevant” due toautomation and alternative systems as everyone,especially students, will have to answer the same questionthat confronted James Scott: “How do I survive?” Withautomatic cars, green energy, climate change, robots andso on, many jobs will phase out. Few people will beholding newspapers in future as much of such willmigrate online. Then, it be will be realised that whateveryou call yourself is immaterial, it is what you can do thatwill count. If care is not taken, everyone will be edby their own .

The Himalayas are a vast mountain range thatspans a number of countries in Asia including India,Pakistan,Afghanistan, China, Nepal and more.Ahome ofmany mountains including the highest in the world,Mount Everest, believe or leave it, if you were lost in thewinter of the Himalayas or some of its snow-cappedmountains, chances are that you would not survive aweek. But James Scott got lost in 1991 when he washiking with his friends and was trapped by heavy snow. Amere 22-year old then, he survived a heart-chilling ordealand grueling near-death experiences everyday until hewas rescued 43 days after by a search party. He had eatenjust the two bars of chocolate he had with him in the first

two days. He made a meal of a caterpillar too. Hesurvived on snow and his high spirits.

According to Scott, “Before this terrible eventoccurred, I would not have believed for a moment that Iwould be capable of overcoming such seeminglyimpossible odds. The lesson I have learnt, simplistic as itmight sound, is that no difficulty is impossible toovercome.” There are many things we are capable ofdoing if we just exert ourselves a bit more. In the samecountry that thousands are fleeing from, perishing in theprocess in the Sahara desert or at the coast ofLampendusa in Italy, many young Nigerians are stillbecoming successful without resorting to crime. I knowstudents who are successful entrepreneurs already.

When Toffler wrote of shock, many people failedto realise that the shock was/is here and the future is now.To absorb the shock that many graduates are confronting,regarding the gulf between expectation and reality evenin the so-called lucrative professions, students must havemultiple competencies. Anyone that wants to stand outmust be outstanding in something and be capable ofdoing many things. This is not just a matter of talent orgood luck, it is also a matter of toil or hard work.

As Toffler puts it, “To survive, to avert what wehave termed future shock, the individual must becomeinfinitely more adaptable and capable than ever before.We must search out totally new ways to anchorourselves, for all the old roots – religion, nation,community, family, or profession – are now shakingunder the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust. It isno longer resources that limit decisions, it is the decisionthat makes the resources.”In other words, it is not thecourse that makes an individual, it is an individual thatcharts his course regardless of his course in school.

The way forward for those who have a futureahead is to strategise or plan now. This is because, toborrow further from Toffler, “the future always comestoo fast and in the wrong order” and “if you don't have astrategy, you are part of someone else's strategy.” Thestrategy lies in self-development, acquisition of skillsand positive mental attitude or “high spirits”, the type ofwhich manifest in such vibrant minds among studentsthat I know like Muhammad Basheer Ishola, ChimaOsuji, Adoto Hussein, Folorunsho Fatai Adisa, RidwanOlawale, Olowoyo Ghaniyat and a host of them.
