    Building Resilience of Tertiary Education Institutions in Africa to Tackle COVID-19 and Future Epidemics: a Multidisciplinary Research Network

    Ekejiuba, Salami, Okonofua, Ukaoha, Ntoimo, Arthur, Delamou, Yaya, Balogun, Odunsi, Wallis WERA – IRN Proposal Topic: Building Resilience of tertiary education institutions in Africa to tackle COVID-19 and future epidemics: A multidisciplinary research network 1) Abstract (not more than 150 words) COVID-19 outbreak has impacted negatively with consequential effects on health challenges, death, isolation and closure of schools. Africans remain at high risk because of poverty. Building resilience of higher institutions can help to overcome this and future pandemics. To date, African universities do not have coordinated resilient actions on ways to tackle the pandemic. If universities do not work together, this and future pandemics will not be defeated. What then will university stakeholders do to build resilience so as to handle the current and future pandemics? The answers to these questions will be the focus of this network project. Researchers will adopt regional analysis while employing mixed research methods. The findings will be useful in helping African universities collaborate with Universities in the south in building strong structures and milestones for overcoming the adverse consequences of the pandemic. It will help to create collaboration and strengthen networks within WERA-IRN global. 2) Research Topic and Plan The COVID-19 pandemic has had very devastating outcomes on educational institutions in many parts of the world. To date, nearly all countries have witnessed the disease, and as of January 15, 2021, over 96 million cases have been recorded worldwide, with an estimated 2 million death, surely one of the most devastating pandemics in modern times. Although sub-Saharan Africa has been less affected than other regions of the world with an estimated 3.2 million cases and 79,000 deaths during the same period, the pandemic has had more severe adverse consequences on the economy and education of African countries as compared to other parts of the world.
  • In the Nineteenth Century Yorubaland Was Characterized by Revolutionary Political and Economic Changes

    In the Nineteenth Century Yorubaland Was Characterized by Revolutionary Political and Economic Changes

    Ethnic Identity and Nineteenth-Century Yoruba Warfare Olatunji Ojo (York University, Toronto) In the nineteenth century Yorubaland was characterized by revolutionary political and economic changes. These changes stemmed from a series of constitutional and other socio-economic disruptions, initially in Oyo and later in other districts. The weakening of Oyo’s central administration after 1800, exacerbated by the spread of Islam and the expansion of legitimate trade generated rapid political changes, the most important of which was the century-long Yoruba wars.1 Yoruba warfare has attracted substantial scholarship. Some writers attribute the wars to attempts by various states to fill the vacuum created by the fall of Oyo. To this group, the wars were fallouts of state formation processes in Africa.2 The other school or the Anthony Hopkins/Economic school links the wars to global economic movements, especially those associated with falling revenue from trade in slaves, and later palm oil.3 This paper, while bridging the two schools identifies a third issue: identity crisis. Peoples and communities occupied different strata within the social system. People were also classified based on ethnicity, class, age and even gender. Each of these identities or a combination of two or more dominated the course of the nineteenth century Yoruba history. Therefore, whether with warfare, slavery, religious observations, and property ownership, there were issues over who were the combatants? Who could be enslaved or not and who could be killed at religious functions? The ways in which people identified themselves, and how others identified them were at stake in discussions about political control, religious rituals, property relation and how people fought against the status quo.

Dmitri Hurlbut Introduction As long as scholars have been writing about the history of Nigeria, they have been writing about Christianity. After more than sixty years, however, it is time to take stock of this vast body of literature, and get a sense of where we have been and where we are going. It is my hope that the compilation of this relatively comprehensive bibliography, and a brief discussion of some of the gaps that need to be filled in the literature, will inspire scholars to take their historical research in exciting and novel directions. Based on a reading of this bibliography, I would like to suggest that future research into the history of Christianity in Nigeria should be directed in three broad directions. First, historians need to focus more research on the development of mainline mission churches following independence, because the historiography remains skewed in favor of independent churches.

Hope alone, without a positive change of attitude, usually ends in hopelessness. We are already seeing that unless we address and find solutions to those basic issues of development, unless we move the issue of science and technology from the speeches from the podium of conference halls to the street kiosks of positive action, we will not succeed in using science and technology as the instrument and catalyst for improving the socioeconomic advancement of the citizens of Nigeria. Indeed, the future is likely to be worse off than the past or the present. Professor Oyewale Tomori, FAS President Let us start with the ongoing outbreak of Lassa fever in Nigeria. It was reported that the outbreak began in August 2015, and had spread to 17 states with an estimated death toll of 62 of 212 suspected cases. Remember we had 20 cases and 8 deaths from Ebola Virus Disease in 2 states.

    Postgraduate Medical Education in Nigeria: Past, Present, and Future

    Review Article Postgraduate medical education in Nigeria: Past, present, and future Friday E Okonofua Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, Ondo State, Nigeria ABSTRACT Postgraduate Medical Education (PME) in Nigeria: Past, Present and Future was a solicited paper delivered at the Annual Scientific Conference of Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Nigeria held in Abuja in November 2015 in honour of Professor L. N. Ajabor, the doyen of medical practice and a foremost practitioner and researcher in Obstetrics and Gynaecology whose several achievements and influences on professional practice in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education span over 40 years within and outside Nigeria. This lecture was a befitting tribute to a hero, mentor and benefactor, who with several of his colleagues championed the development and implementation of PME in Nigeria in the 70s, the assessment undertaken in this paper suggests that while the main purpose of PME have largely being achieved in Nigeria, a lot remains to be done in propelling it beyond its original vision to enable it compare favourably with similar medical post graduate training in other parts of the world. This lecture is organized in four main areas: Professor Linus Ajabor autobiography, The history, origin and intention of postgraduate medical training from the international perspectives, the history of postgraduate medical education in Nigeria, status of residency training in Nigeria, challenges facing medical education in Nigeria. The PhD versus fellowship controversy in Nigeria and the future of postgraduate medical education in Nigeria. Key words: Challenges; education; linus ajabor; medical; Nigeria; postgraduate; residency training. Professor Linus N.
