Don bemoans NUC curriculum on entrepreneurship

Dr Garba Bala Magaji of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, has said that the National University Commission(NUC) curriculum on enterprenuership “is very restrictive and based only on business models.”

Magaji made this remark while addressing the Annual General Assembly of the ABU Alumni Association over the weekend in Zaria.
He said: “There is the strong need to integrate entrepreneurship into our curriculum of education instead of the single and universal course model curriculum offered by every student, irrespective of their discipline.
“The university system is too much meeting, too much committees and slow process just like the civil service. We must model ourselves like the University of California which accounts for 40 percent business in the state, owns an airport and executes government contract.
“The most successful universities in the world are not driven by academics but by seasoned administrators and businessmen who return to the class room to teach the real things like Bill Clinton and the Bill Gates of this world.”
In his welcome address to the assembly, the Vic-Chancellor of the University, Professor Abdullahi Mustapha said that the choice of the alumni to discuss the issue of enterpreneurship was apt, applauding him for his revelations and knowledge.
