The hullaballoo that attended the election of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the vicious agitation that has trailed it ever since have kept me wondering whether there is anything to the Tinubu election that was absent in the elections before it. When they allege rigging, previous elections have been rigged; even more scandalously, more blatantly and more brazenly. For instance, the late President Umaru Yar’Adua was forthright enough to admit, publicly, that the election that brought him to power was tainted. How did Obasanjo as sitting president capture all but one (Lagos) Alliance for Democracy (AD) states in 2003 and how did another sitting president, Muhammadu Buhari, "win" reelection in 2019? Still, the roof was not brought down over our heads!

To say that the post secondary education tier has most tortuously struggled to endure the recent years in Nigeria may amount to an understatement. There’s perhaps no stronger evidence of this than the choice of the theme of the convocation lecture of Modibbo Adama University, Yola delivered Friday, May 12, 2023. Understandably and gratuitously too, the lecture was titled “Nigerian University System and the Public Good”. It was delivered by a renowned public intellectual and polyglot, Prof Jibrin Ibrahim.
