Chairman of ASUU for the University of Jos Chapter, Dr. Lazarus Maigoro has been under attack on social media for saying that private universities push out graduates with empty brains.
Maigoro had tasked the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to ensure that private universities deliver quality and good academic standards in their operations.
He decried the low academic standards in most of the existing private universities in the country, urged the new ones licensed to live up to expectations.
“It is good to have private universities that have standard and quality, unfortunately, most of the existing ones are nothing to write home about. Most of the time, they push out people with empty brains as graduates; these graduates hardly contribute meaningfully to the growth ad development of society.
These graduates become a problem to the society rather than solving the existing problems as intellectuals. So, I want to urge the owners and managers of these newly approved universities to maintain the standard,” he said.
However, the ASUU boss has been called out on social media by some Nigerian youths.
