Against a backdrop of the ASUU strike, the Association of Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (ACVCNU) has called to take measures against disruptions in the academic calendars of universities.
In a communiqué issued on Tuesday at the end of the 28th Annual Conference of the Association in Abuja, the vice-chancellors noted that the disruptions emanated from student and staff union issues.
ACVCNU stressed the need for broad and well thought out reforms that would make the higher education system in Nigeria more stable in terms of quality, effectiveness and relevance to national values.
It also warned that the proliferation of universities without corresponding increase in funding would pose challenges to the new public universities.
It further acknowledged that universities did not operate under the same circumstances having been established by various entities.
The Association added that inadequate funding by university proprietors was a major cause of decline in quality of education and low global ranking of Nigerian universities.
The associated noted that teaching/learning and research took place in resource-poor contexts, what made it nearly impossible for Nigerian universities to measure up in an increasingly competitive global knowledge economy.
