(PGA/UJ/00197/10) Date: 27th February, 2014. iii CERTIFICATION This is to certify that the research work for this thesis and the subsequent preparations of it were carried out by Madu Amuche Uzoamaka. (Mat. No. PGA/UJ/00197/10) under the supervision of Professor M. N. Azuike. _____________________________________ Prof. Macpherson N. Azuike SUPERVISOR _____________________________________ Assoc. Prof. I. B. Lar HEAD OF DEPARTMENT, ENGLISH _____________________________________ Prof. Umar H.D. Danfulani DEAN, FACULTY OF ARTS _____________________________________ Prof. W.O Alli DEAN, SCHOOL OF POSTGRADUATE STUDIES iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am most grateful to the Almighty God for making this dream come true as I never knew this would still be possible. Two days after I came into Jos to settle into an accommodation in a safe and secure area for this research, I got a distress call from home. Jide my son who came with me to help me clean the house and put a few things in place, picked the call and screamed. His dad had suffered a stroke. The next day both of us left Jos for Abuja. That was how I left my tentative proposal in that house for over a year. The rent expired while I went places with my husband and we finally ended up in India. He got better, and we came back but precious time had rolled by. I lost the zeal and determination to continue as a result of this. But my Supervisor, Professor M.N. Azuike did not give up. He kept encouraging me to continue as every Ph.D had its own history. I obeyed him and got back to the work. Today, it has paid off. I cannot thank him enough. May God grant me the opportunity to be able to appreciate the dedication, patience and understanding with which he has supervised this thesis. To all the Lecturers of the department of English, University of Jos who attended my first presentation, I say a big “thank you”. The contributions and suggestions of Professor D. Jowitt, Professor K. Ugbabe, Prof. I.B Lar, Prof. (Mrs) U.E. Iwoketok and others to this work, will forever be appreciated. My special thanks go to my parents Chief and Mrs Humphrey Okeke for being there for me all the time assisting me with their moral support and prayers. My gratitude also goes to my siblings, Azubuike, Ken, Chichi and Ogoo who supported me with their goodwill and prayers. I will always remember and appreciate the efforts of Victor Ohiole Paul, Obinna Okoli and Peter Attah who kept awake with me most of the nights typing and searching for information on the Internet for this research. v My children, Jide, Nne and Somto always wished they could do this work for me while it lasted “so that mummy will not suffer”. You are such a wonderful gift from God. I love you. And finally to Jekwu, my husband, I appreciate all your advice and encouragement. To God be the glory that you are alive today to witness successful completion of this thesis. Madu, Amuche Uzoamaka. (2014). vi DEDICATION To My children, Jideofor, Nwanne and Somto for their innocent moral support and love which gave me the encouragement to finish this study. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS TITLE …………….……………………………………………………… PAGE DECLARATION………………………………………………………… I CERTIFICATION………………………………………………………… II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS……………………………………………….

Prof. Abdulkareem gave this assurance last Thursday (May 6, 2021) while speaking at the annual Iftar organised for journalists at his residence. While appreciating the fact that the truncation of the session was not peculiar to the University of Ilorin, Prof. Abdulkareem said that the University had perfected an arrangement through which the effect of the eruption of Coronavirus pandemic and the strike The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abdulkareem (right), embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of stressing a point during the media interactive session Universities (ASUU), which altered the University's while the Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle academic calendar, will be mitigated.(Contd. on page 4) Akogun, looks on By Abubakar Imam and Isaac Lewu he Vice-Chancellor of the newly approved Thomas Adewumi University (TAU), Oko, in Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, Prof. TLuke Ayorinde, has said that the budding institution will take after the characteristic excellent service delivery, discipline and probity of the University of Ilorin.

  • Man-Must-Wack: Life and Career of University of Lagos Pioneer Vendor
    Man-Must-Wack: Life and Career of University of Lagos Pioneer Vendor R. T. Akinyele Department of History and Strategic Studies, University of Lagos, Akoka. I work at a newspaper, I’m not a journalist; I’m a delivery man. Well, I will be, as soon as I get my bicycle flat tire fixed. – Jarod Kintz Abstract The newspaper has been a part of the intellectual culture of the University of Lagos since its inception in 1962. The history of the institution will therefore remain largely incomplete without the documentation of the activities of the vendor who dominated the landscape for more than twenty five years. This paper attempts to highlight the life and career of Mr. Philip Nwadigwu Abasiri, popularly known as Man-Must- Wack. His experience in Onitsha and Lagos in the 1940s illustrates some of the key issues in rural-urban drift which is still a major problem in Nigeria today. He started selling his newspapers in the University in 1964 and the business expanded with the evolution of the faculties. By the time he retired from active business in the late 1980s, he had planted two of his sons in the business. The paper also highlights how the personal characteristics and trade techniques that ensured his success as a vendor can be harnessed to reduce the rate of unemployment in Nigeria. Keywords: Newspapers, Vendor, University of Lagos, Rural – Urban Drift. Background O. M. Bankole and S.O Babalola (2011, 1) observe that newspapers are a source of information in enlightened societies. By all standards, the University of Lagos belongs to the category of literate society and enlightened community.

Olumorin iii BLANK iv FOREWORD It is just like yesterday that the University of Ilorin was established along with six other Nigerian universities in 1975. The University began to fledge immediately after it was established such that a few years later, it was already soaring above its peers and competing with the stars of the Nigerian university system. To the glory of God and in tandem with the vision of its founding fathers, the University of Ilorin today has transcended the level of being “one of the fastest growing second-generation universities”, as it was described 15 years ago by its former Vice- Chancellor, Prof. Shuaibu Oba Abdulraheem, during the 25th anniversary and 20th convocation ceremonies. Today, the generation the University belongs to has morphed into insignificance as it has become undoubtedly a foremost university not only in the country but also in the continent with verifiable evidence.

  • Leadership, Economic Nationalism and Development: Nigeria and the Challenge from the Global South
    LEADERSHIP, ECONOMIC NATIONALISM AND DEVELOPMENT: NIGERIA AND THE CHALLENGE FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH By Professor Ayodeji Olukoju Fellow, Nigerian Academy of Letters Vice-Chancellor, Caleb University, Imota, Lagos State 21st and 22nd Convocation Ceremonies Lecture Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State 20 June 2014 PROTOCOLS Chairman, Your Excellencies, My Lords Spiritual and Temporal, Chairman and Members of the Governing Council, Vice-Chancellor, Management and Senate, Staff and Students of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Gentlemen of the Press, Ladies and Gentlemen. PREAMBLE Permit me to register my deep gratitude to God Almighty, the Creator, Saviour and Deliverer, for the privilege of delivering this lecture. I thank the Vice-Chancellor of this great University, Professor Olusola Bandele Oyewole, and his Team for the honour of addressing you on this auspicious occasion. I, therefore, approach this task with great circumspection, conscious of the weight of the responsibility. I shall speak on the topic: “Leadership, Economic Nationalism and Development: Nigeria and the Challenge from the Global South.” 1 This topic was inspired by the implications of two milestones in recent history - the Centenary in January 2014 of the amalgamation of the Protectorates of Northern and Southern Nigeria to form the country, Nigeria (cf. Olukoju, 2014a), and the 90th birthday of Singapore‟s Founding Leader, the legendary Lee Kuan Yew (LKY), in September 2013. Those milestones are of great significance when reflecting on the contrasting fortunes of both countries in the second half of the twentieth century.1 As will be made clear in this lecture, the lack of leadership fired by economic nationalism in Nigeria contrasts sharply with the role of the two elements in Singapore, that jumped from Third to First World status in one generation.

  • Life and Career of University of Lagos Pioneer Vendor
    Man-Must-Wack: Life and Career of University of Lagos Pioneer Vendor R. T. Akinyele Department of History and Strategic Studies, University of Lagos, Akoka. I work at a newspaper, I’m not a journalist; I’m a delivery man. Well, I will be, as soon as I get my bicycle flat tire fixed. – Jarod Kintz Abstract The newspaper has been a part of the intellectual culture of the University of Lagos since its inception in 1962. The history of the institution will therefore remain largely incomplete without the documentation of the activities of the vendor who dominated the landscape for more than twenty five years. This paper attempts to highlight the life and career of Mr. Philip Nwadigwu Abasiri, popularly known as Man-Must- Wack. His experience in Onitsha and Lagos in the 1940s illustrates some of the key issues in rural-urban drift which is still a major problem in Nigeria today. He started selling his newspapers in the University in 1964 and the business expanded with the evolution of the faculties. By the time he retired from active business in the late 1980s, he had planted two of his sons in the business. The paper also highlights how the personal characteristics and trade techniques that ensured his success as a vendor can be harnessed to reduce the rate of unemployment in Nigeria. Keywords: Newspapers, Vendor, University of Lagos, Rural – Urban Drift. Background O. M. Bankole and S.O Babalola (2011, 1) observe that newspapers are a source of information in enlightened societies. By all standards, the University of Lagos belongs to the category of literate society and enlightened community.
