On Parrot Xtra Hour on Radio on Splash 105.5 FM recently, the Vice Chancellor of Lead City University, Professor Aderemi Adeyemo, revealed how the institution has been able to continue to expand. He also used the opportunity to admonish the Federal Government of Nigeria on what it should do to end the perennial ASUU’s industrial action in the country’s public universities.

Honestly for me, it feels good because at 70 I am in good shape without any health or other challenges. However if you put it in the context of the environment and the times we live in, I don’t feel as good as I could or should. I am not happy that the country is facing diverse and numerous challenges, many of them self-inflicted and needless. As I speak, we are all currently struggling to cope with heightened and extreme forms of those challenges at every level. The problem is that I cannot be okay or as happy I could or should be when all is not well with the community of which I am an integral part. That is how I feel about Nigeria in my 70th year.
