He had early education at a Quranic School in Bauchi and also studied at the famous Katsina Teachers’ Training College between 1928 and 1933 before returning to Bauchi to teach at the Bauchi Middle School. He later became the headmaster of the school.

  • Re-Fashioning African Studies in an Information Technology Driven World for Africa’S Transformation Joseph Octavius Akolgo
    Contemporary Journal of African Studies 2019; 6 (1): 114-137 https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/contjas.v6i1.7 ISSN 2343-6530 © 2019 The Author(s) Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons License [CC BY-NC-ND 4.0] http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 Re-fashioning African Studies in an information technology driven world for Africa’s transformation Joseph Octavius Akolgo Phd Candidate, Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana Author’s email: [email protected] Abstract The African Studies programme, launched in the University of Ghana by Ghana’s first president, was for “students to know and understand their roots, inherited past traditions, norms and lore (and to) re-define the African personality” and the “inculcation of time honoured African values of truthfulness, humanness, rectitude and honour …and ultimately ensure a more just and orderly African society” Sackey (2014:225). These and other principles constitute some of the cardinal goals of the programme in both public and private universities in Ghana. Considering tertiary education as both a public and private enterprise, this paper seeks to enrich the discourse on African Studies by taking a retrospection of the subject and investigated university students’ perceptions of the discipline among public and privately funded spheres. Adopting a qualitative approach, the paper interviewed students on the relevance of the discipline in a contemporary information technology driven world. The outcome of such interrogation was that African Studies is even more relevant in the era of globalization than it might have been in immediate post independent Africa.

Zimbabwe Open University, Counselling, Mashonaland West Regional Campus Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges facing Open and Distance Learning students at the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU). The study was conducted at ZOU Masvingo Regional Campus. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The main data collection techniques were questionnaires and structured interviews, supplemented by documentary review. Tables, frequencies and percentages were the key descriptive statistics used to analyze and present the findings. The results showed that ODL learners were challenged with a range of obstacles in their course of studies. The most reported challenges were lack of sufficient time for study, difficulties in access and use of ICT, ineffective feedback and lack of study materials. It was recommended that ZOU should strive to achieve effective and balanced teaching and learning system that satisfies the desire of the learners to the extent that they would wish to come back to the institution for further studies and feel proud to recommend the institution to others who are seeking for knowledge. Key words: challenges, ODL, students, ZOU, drop-out rate, late programme completion, ICT, Masvingo.

  • The Rhetoric and Reality of Academic Linkages with Nigerian Higher Education
    T.C. Türk ‹şbirliği ve Koordinasyon ‹daresi Başkanlığı Türk ‹nternational Cooperation and Coordination Agency AVRASYA ETÜDLER‹ 40/2011-2 (237-258) Developing Institutional Co-operation Strategies: The Rhetoric and Reality of Academic Linkages with Nigerian Higher Education Abdalla Uba ADAMU1 Abstract For many years after independence, many African countries relied on philanthropic grant-making organizations, principally from the United States, to provide institutional support empowerment in the development of their higher education programs. These support services were perceived by critics as part of the larger agenda of postcolonial globalization guaranteed to produce future African citizens with affinity and allegiance to the United States and other ‘development partner’ nations. Over the years, however, it became increasingly clear that the postcolonial discourse in African higher education requires a renegotiation of the principles and mechanisms of academic linkages which should be based on declared needs of the recipient institutions. This paper traces the mechanism of institutional co-operation between three American charitable organizations and Nigerian government in the area of higher education. It concludes by presenting the new strategies that were evolved as a basis for continuing institutional support to African higher education based on internal, rather than external needs of development partners. Keywords: Nigeria, higher education, Berkeley Mafia, linkages, Mac Arthur Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Azikwe. 1 Prof. Dr., Bayero University, Department of Science and Technology Education, Kano, Nigeria; [email protected] 238 Kurumsal İşbirliği Stratejileri Geliştirme: Nijerya Yükseköğretiminin Akademik Bağlantılarının Retoriği ve Gerçekliği Öz Bağımsızlık sonrası yıllarda birçok Afrika ülkesi yüksek eğitim programlarının güçlenmesini desteklemek için genelde ABD orijinli hibe-yapıcı hayırsever or- ganizasyonlara güvendi.
