       Private Varsities Fail UN Target OnExpatriates –Senator

       Nigeria has yet to meet the United Nations’
       requirement for engaging expatriates,
       which should constitute one-third of the
       number of lecturers in private universities,
       Proprietor of Baze university, Senator Datti
       Baba-Ahmed, has said.
       Baba-Ahmed, who led a team of students
       from the institution to the United Kingdom,
       made this known during a visit to the
       Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK, Dr.
       Dalhatu Tafida, on Thursday in London.
       He said under the UN requirement for
       categorisation of universities, expatriates
       must constitute one-third of members of the
       teaching staff, among other criteria, in order
       to be graded as a world-class institution.
       According to him, immigration rules have
       made it difficult for expatriates to lecture in
       private universities, which is responsible for
       the inadequate number of foreign lecturers
       in such institutions.
       The News Agency of Nigeria reported on
       Thursdays that under immigration rules,
       institutions must prove that expatriates
       were being employed because of the
       absence of Nigerian lecturers.
       Baba-Ahmed said if such excuses were not
       sorted out with the authorities, the
       development could constitute a major
       problem for the universities system.
       Tafida commended the university for its
       quality of education and professionalism.
       He said the decline in the quality education
       was among reasons parents sponsored
       their children to take advantage of
       education technology abroad.
