At last! Yes, at last, the federal government has banned indiscriminate and cash-induced awards of honorary degrees by all federal-owned universities. Thank god for small mercies.
No keen observer can be indifferent to the menace that this practice has visited upon the nation and its educational institutions in the last three decades. The rest should now be history.
However, let the government walk the talk: Fund them Institutions, or.
One last point. Do this integrity test for all national awards henceforth. The roll is tainted, lopsided, continually questioned and, ipso facto, blighted. We must do better.
Is 2012 the year?
