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?
Voices and choices will power ideas, anchor forays this millennium. Bonding of Brain & Brawn celebrates of our civilization. None in the Global Village should be left out in this collegiate march.

We will reflect the dynamic challenges and immense possibilities of our world. Here is my personal space in the public place! Welcome.
