Former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Prof. Abel Olayinka, has called on the Federal Government to urgently increase funding for postgraduate education, warning that Nigeria’s quest for sustainable national development will remain elusive without deliberate investment in advanced research, infrastructure and human capital.
The Professor of Geology noted that postgraduate education goes beyond the acquisition of higher degrees, saying it plays a crucial role in driving innovation and national development across diverse fields for the betterment of humanity.
Olayinka stated this on Thursday while delivering the keynote address at the maiden Postgraduate School Discourse of Chrisland University, Abeokuta, themed, “Consolidating Postgraduate Education in Nigerian Universities.”
