A legal icon and university administrator, Chief Afe Babalola , has called for the arrest and prosecution of those operating unaccredited universities in the country, saying their activities are inimical to academic growth and quality education.
Babalola stated this in ABUAD yesterday while playing host to NUC team, which came there on assessment tour and evaluation of the level of compliance to good governance in the institution. The eminent lawyer urged the NUC to begin a process of ranking universities by itself to prevent fictitious organisations from hijacking the process and rate based on sentiment, thereby damaging the reputations of credible institutions.
“Good governance changes lives, landscape, experience as well as brings quality, and that is why we are here to learn. We want to say that the universities should be staffed adequately.
