  • Babcock varsity to hold book fair

    The yearly Book Fair of Babcock University, Ilishan Remo is scheduled to hold on Friday next week on the University campus.

    The Book Fair, an event of the Babcock Investment Group (BIG), will feature exhibition of books, publications and academic materials of various disciplines by scholars, publishers and major book merchants.

    A statement by Dr. Thomas Egwuonwu, Executive Director, Operations, BIG, noted that Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mrs Modupe Mujota, is expected  as special guest of honour, while Mr. Rotimi Akinsanya, Chairmam, Ikene Local Government, will be the guest of honour.

    President/Vice-Chancellor of Babcock University, Prof. Ademola Tayo, is chief host for the event, which will be chaired by Prof Iheanyichukwu Okoro, Vice-President, Academics.

    According to Egwuonwu, the event is the university’s contribution at promoting reading culture, excellent scholarship, entrepreneurial orientation and sustenance of high standard of education nationwide.

    The Book Fair, he said, was inspired by the Corporate Image statement of Babcock University which is: “A Centre of Excellence for Character Development and Scholarship, a Socially, Responsive, Responsible and Accountable Institution in Matters of Commitment and Action”.

  • Babcock develops policy on intellectual property

    Babcock develops policy on intellectual property

    Babcock University (BU) has developed an intellectual property policy that spells out a reward system for inventors.

    Babcock University would own the intellectual property created by any person hired or commissioned for that purpose, the ownership of intellectual property rights that is derived from collaborative research between Babcock University and any other organisation would be governed by the agreement between Babcock and such organisation or organisations.

    “Where there is no written agreement between BU and a grantor or funding agency or where the agreement fails to address the issue of who owns the attendant IP rights, the rights in the result of such research would be vested in the university,” she said.

    On other hand, Babcock University would provide financial and moral support that enhances effective administration of intellectual property, while taking steps legally to protect university generated intellectual property against unauthorized use and for the benefit of the institution and creator of IP.

    The university would also promote commercialization of intellectual property generated in the University as well as provide necessary linkage of researchers with sponsors and/or external partners among other obligations.

    On the distribution of Income derived from commercialization of IP, she said 100% of the revenue generated would go to Babcock University until all out of pocket expenses associated with the legal protection, exploitation of the patent or copyright had been reimbursed, thereafter the net income is shared as follows: 30% to the inventor/author; 35% shall be allocated to Babcock University; 10% to the School of the inventor/author; 10% to RIIC for use in research work and 15% to the department of the inventor/author.

    Director, Research, Innovation and International Cooperation, Professor Grace Tayo disclosed this while speaking on “RIIC: The Journey So Far” at the just concluded 2017 colloquium

    She explained that the objective of the policy, among others, would encourage innovation as well as provide a framework within which the intellectual property generated by the university would be managed and utilized for the benefit of the creator, the university and the society at large.

    Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind that include inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce. The innovations and creative expressions of indigenous and local communities are also IP.

  • Don seeks limit on tech in Law

    Professor Emeritus of Law, Isaac Agbede, has called for a legislation limiting the functions of technology in the adjudication of cases in the country.

    Agbede made the call at the first international conference on Law and Digital Technology at Babcock University.

    His call came on the heels of growing concerns on the possibility of robots taking over legal briefs to the detriment of younger generation lawyers.

    Agbede, who is Provost of the university’s School of Law and Security Studies, expressed concern that robots were now competing with man in functions exclusively reserved for man by God.

    He said there should be a ‘modulator’ to the functions of technology to ensure the survival of  human civilisation.

    He noted that as proliferation of IT tools enhanced the efficiency of legal research, Law firms would in turn be forced to reassess their entire organisational structure.

    Agbede admitted that though online transactions and activities posed tricky issues of implementation and law enforcement, legal practice continued as if technology had never been invented.

    “The law industries and practices have not changed much in decades in spite of new tools developed in the legal industries,” he said.

    In spite of some reservations on technology, he said some latest products such as virtual assistants, were designed to help in-house legal department manage their work more efficiently.

  • Nigeria may lose out in capacity building – Don

    Nigeria may lose out in capacity building – Don

    A university don, Professor Folarin Oguntoyinbo said it was a big minus that Nigeria up till now does not have a national culture collection centre for cutting-edge research.

    Professor Oguntoyinbo of the University of Lagos made this observation in his keynote lecture at the opening of the young microbiologists’ conference, which took place at Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State recently.

    He said there was no way the country would make meaningful progress in the microbiology world without a national culture collection centre for researchers to deposit and retrieve samples.

    In his lecture, titled, “Advances in Microbiology in the 21st Century-where do we belong?,”  Professor Oguntoyinbo said Nigeria stood at a very dangerous threshold of losing out if the capacity building and infrastructures in microbiology were neglected.

    “We need to build microbiology capacity early and invest in its infrastructure,” he advised.

    According to him, there were many available opportunities in the microbiology world begging for attention from the young microbiologists to take advantage of.

    “The future is bright for young microbiologists hence they must start early,” he said.

    He noted that the microbiology world was also advancing at a very fast pace, and that young microbiologists in Nigeria must think outside the box if they are to excel

  • 71 bag Babcock varsity doctoral degree

    71 bag Babcock varsity doctoral degree

    …as Diamond Bank Ex-MD calls for creative thinking in scholarship

     

    Babcock University Thursday scored another milestone in postgraduate education with the robbing of 71 doctoral graduands.

    A breakdown showed that Business Administration, Information Resources Management and Mass Communication departments led the pack with 15 doctoral graduands each, followed by Political Science, 12; Computer Science, six; Marketing, four while the departments of Biochemistry, Language and Literary Studies and Agriculture and Industrial Technology produced a graduand each.

    Speaking at the ceremony, President/ Vice Chancellor, Professor Ademola Tayo said by this feat Babcock University is inching closer to fulfilling her vision of halting the downward trend in university education as quality leaders passionate about making positive contributions that would transform the world are raised

    He said his administration would continue to aspire for excellence in academic administration by engendering strong fraternity between industries and academic departments.

    According to him, the curriculum would also be rejigged to accommodate greater industry exposure in order to be “locally relevant, globally impactful and employer satisfying.”

    “We will strive to increase web presence of research outputs and publication profile of the university,” he added.

    He said the international office would soon be upgraded and equipped to perform optimally, linking up with the alumni to initiate aggressive recruitment drive of international postgraduate students as well as attracts experts and academics of Nigerian extraction in the Diaspora.

    While congratulating the graduands, Professor Tayo reminded them of their commitment to support the institution to continue to provide the incredible educational opportunities afforded each of them.

    The hooding ceremony is a precursor to the convocation ceremony of the graduands on Sunday June 4th.

    In a related development, former managing director of Diamond Bank, Dr. Alex Otti has called on the universities to be dedicated to producing students that would think creatively.

    Dr. Otti made the call while delivering the Postgraduate Studies Convocation lecture of the University.

    In his lecture titled The Town and the Gown: Solving the Nigerian Socio-economic Issues, he said “our problem is that our education is not designed to create wealth.”

    “We cannot rule our country well because we don’t have leaders who can think.”

    According to him, our graduates are not equipped for the outside world due to poor preparation.

    He said Nigerians ought to feel ashamed looking for solutions to every problem in the country abroad, pointing out that, “we cannot progress this way.”

    He therefore called on the universities to keep government on her toes and not to be nice and withdrawn.

    If the town and gown must move together, he said, approaches and governance need to be reviewed, adding that education would only be valuable if “we put to use what we learn in school.”

     

  • We groom our graduates to be employable – DVC, Babcock University

    We groom our graduates to be employable – DVC, Babcock University

    Undoubtedly one of the frontline private universities in Nigeria, Babcock University, Ilisan, Ogun State, through its operations and forays into ICT revolution and students’ mentorship has remained unrelenting in its drive towards excellence. In this interview with Emorinken Moses, its Deputy Vice Chancellor and College of Health and Medical Sciences provost, Prof. Iheanyi Chukwu Okoro beams more light on the institutions activities, achievements and products.

    Babcock University is one of the few private universities with impressive stories to tell; can you give us a sneak peek into your activities so far?

    Well, as we speak, students have started their exams, one of the things we have going for us is stability. By the grace of God, we have not missed a single day since 1999. And one of the factors responsible for this is the online revolution going on in the institution. Some of our courses are now taken online. Before now, marking, collation, and grading of the scores of students after an examination was an arduous task. You typically would find a lecturer having to mark and grade close to 500 students. However, some of our in-house ingenious staff in the ICT unit developed a software, which is now being used for exams. It was tried last year, and within 30 minutes the exams were concluded and the results came out swiftly.

    This reduced the burden of collation of results for the lecturers. All they now have to do is input the data (scores) and the computer software automatically does the calculations and collation of results instantly.

    Secondly, as a school, we place a premium on the behaviour of our students. We believe that education is more than imbuing academic knowledge to students, but also in the inculcation of ethical and scrupulous behaviours. We train their hearts and make sure that they behave well.

    We have a way of monitoring their behaviour through a tool called the Behavioural Index. We monitor them in their hostels, chapel, class rooms etc. If a student has any infraction or misconduct, he or she is ‘demerited’. Every student has a 60 demerit point; so as a student keeps misbehaving, his or her score reduces. It is like withdrawing from ones account. When you are zero, you go on suspension, and this affects your ‘citizenship grading’. Even if you have a first class, with a zero point of behaviour, you are not graduating because this affects your citizenship rating.

    This form of assessment has also gone online. There is a central coordinating office called the BUMU office (Babcock University Merit Unit). The unit coordinates all the grades from the various points online, and they issue out the grades to the students at the end of a session.

    Can you tell us about the ‘total classroom revolution’ project?

    The Total Classroom Revolution is simply leveraging technology in the deployment of learning and the learning environment. Currently, every classroom in the school has a projector and smart boards. You can also find radio towers at strategic positions within the campus. We intend to have a cloud all over the compound, so that students can access their lectures anywhere they are within the campus. Lecturers can upload courses, and students can refer back to it by downloading it.

    All these congenial educational facilities are powered by electricity. Therefore, the school is investing heavily on a power project called Babcock Power Project, which will supply uninterrupted power round the clock. At first, we wanted to opt for a gas-powered turbine, but because of the huge cost of maintenance, we settled for a power generator that runs for 80,000 hours non-stop…on gas. By implication, it means it can run for 9 years at a stretch.

    Due to the current economic recession in the country, the project has however been stalled a bit; but, with the Naira slowly gaining stature, we hope to push the project further.

    Aside the generating power generator, there are some diesel-powered generators on ground as standby – they can run for 30 hours non-stop.

    All of these efforts are geared towards creating a congenial academic environment for the students and members of staff.

    You have spoken on the importance of behavioural competence of the students; however, focusing on the society as a whole, do you think the Nigerian youths have the right values to lead going into the future?

    To be frank with you, I don’t think we are giving our younger ones good examples. There is a saying where I am from that – ‘When a mother goat is eating the yam, the kid is also looking at the mouth of the mother goat.’ The snake can only give birth to long things like itself. This is the situation of the country now. Until we have a total revolution in the attitudes of minds and behaviours among the older generation (my generation), the concept of examples and mentorship for the younger ones will be a white elephant expenditure. The blame should not always point to the direction of the younger ones. You cannot give what you don’t have. It is my belief that when you have a delinquent child, there are at least two delinquent adults that are propelling such a child. Take for instance examination malpractice; some parents arrange for special centres for their wards; the individual running this centre is a delinquent adult, the parent seeking his or her service is a delinquent adult. Their unethical attitudes can only produce a delinquent child. These acts continue even when the child reaches an institution of higher learning; the child now believes that this is the ideal way to carry on in life. He doesn’t do anything straight anymore because he believes he has to cheat to get things done. However, if the child requests for a special centre and is rebuked instantly by the parent, this leaves an indelible impression on the child.

    My appeal goes to my generation to consider posterity before engaging in acts of malfeasance, corruption, and other related delinquent behaviours.

    This current administration has a mantra – the change begins with me! But it should go beyond rhetorics and advertisement.

    In Babcock, our motto is ‘building leadership through Christian education’. We intend to produce servant-leaders. We continually resound into the consciousness of our students that leadership is about service – it is not what you get from the position, but what you give into that position.

    Here, we have the Babcock University Students Association (BUSA), which is not a student government but an association. We train them on the values that make a complete leader, and the need to be a worthy example. Another important thing about the behaviour of students in Babcock is their responsibility to the environment. If you go round, you will not see a single piece of paper on the ground. When you come to such an environment, you will definitely look stupid to begin to drop wastes on the ground. Our students are well dressed. It is leadership by example – from the management, members of staff, and down to the students.

    Last week, the students had a seminar tagged ‘experience’, which saw the likes of Femi Falana (SAN), Charles Okafor etc. They were on ground to encourage and inspire the graduating students on succeeding. They shared personal experiences about how they became successful in their fields and careers. Also, they enlightened the students about some of the pitfalls they should avoid on their journey to the top.

    There is this assumption that a lot of Nigerian graduates are unemployable. What is your take on this? What is Babcock doing to produce ‘employable’ graduates?

    What makes us stand out is the process of producing our graduates. Regardless of the unemployment in the country, one fact remains that people are consistently being employed. For instance, KPMG, a foremost auditing firm has seen the quality of our students in accounting, and have given us 300 slots for internship every year. From those 300, they will select those that will eventually be employed. Other organisations like ICAN, ACCA, CIMA etc., are partnering with us in Accounting. In computer, the computer professional registration body in Nigeria has named Babcock a centre for excellence in training because they have seen our products. It is the same for other programmes. Also, we have been the overall best in the Nigerian Law School for two years now. That speaks volumes about the quality of our products.

    Students evaluate the lecturers – contents, methods etc., while the lecturers in turn evaluate the students. If a student fails to meet up with 75% of attendance, he or she has failed automatically – it is called “Failure due to absence” (FA).

    When students are graduating they go through a finishing school to prepare them for the labour market. Issues on how to sit at an interview, how to write a CV etc., are considered. The highlight of the programme is usually a job fair where organisations come and interview students live, and possibly recruit them on the spot.

    Finally, we have a centre for entrepreneurial studies that teaches the students all kinds of arts and craft – theory and practical.

    My worry about ‘unemployability’ also bothers on the incessant strikes that used to be preponderant in federal and state-owned schools, which is reducing gradually. This usually affects the quality of content that the lectures give as a result of rushing to meet up with the semester.

    What is the state of Babcock’s Cardiac Centre?

    We have partnered with Tristate Cardiovascular Associates from Delaware in the U.S. It is a team of experts that brings together solution to heart diseases through the collective competence of top intervention cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and radiologists.

    We have developed a state-of-the-art cardiac centre, which is currently the only permanently run cardiac centre in the country today. Other centres may occasional invite surgeons from abroad to come and perform one or two heart surgeries and then go back to their country. However, our surgeons are permanently resident in the institution. The centre, which started in October 2015 have performed almost a hundred heart surgeries, and still counting.

    We are partnering with NNPC, LAFARGE, Primary Health Administrations in the country, and non-governmental organisations (NGO). They refer cases to us.

    Many universities have come to us for academic partnership; amongst them are Caleb University, Adeleke University etc.

    Our medical students go to India for their housemanship for two months each. This is because of the quality of field experience they can get from India because of its seasoned medical department.

    Our computer students also go to Poland for computer training and exposure. In fact, some students also earn an additional degree during their educational stay in Poland.

    We also partner with Birmingham University. Our International and Diplomacy students go there for two years and get their law degrees and come back. These are a few of the kinds of academic partnerships that we are involved in.

    Tell us about the awards Babcock has won in recent times.

    We have received awards from the World Branding Forum in the education segment. We got the award in 2015 and 2016 concurrently. We also received a solid 18-carat gold award plaque, based on the fact that no organisation had ever won the award back-to-back since inception.

    For two to three years now, we have won the best university in Africa award, given by the Association of African Students. We were nominated by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS). The interesting thing is that Babcock is not part of NANS, however, their interactions with our students and the qualitative feedbacks they get informed their decision to recommend our institution for the award.

    Also, in the Nigerian Private Universities Debate (NIPUD), our students have consistently emerged tops in the last four years. We encourage our students to be the best they can be.

    Do you think that government is doing enough to encourage private tertiary institutions? Also, what can government do to encourage private tertiary institutions?

    I do not think the government is doing much to encourage private institutions because they see it as business. They only monitor and accredit them through their agencies to ensure that the schools meets up with the minimum standard, however, that is where it stops. The federal government finances government-owned universities using TETFund. Initially, private institutions have always been weary of receiving such funds because as the saying goes – he that pays the piper dictates the tune. But with the biting economic situations in the country, private institutions have started to bite their words arguing that even if the institutions are privately owned, it produces graduates for the nation at large; therefore, it should at least be encouraged with palliative and government largess like the TETFund. It is a cry of desperation because many universities are finding it difficult to cope. We implore government to give us grant in aid. By grant in aid, we mean government provides some level of financial support, monitor its usage, but do not interfere with running the school.

  • ‘Babcock University is not-for-profit,’ says VC

    ‘Babcock University is not-for-profit,’ says VC

    Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Prof Ademola S. Tayo has stressed the importance of quality in the running of the institution.

    He said the university was not-for-profit, hence its provision for work study programme, endowment funds, among other initiatives, to assist indigent students’ access to quality education.

    Prof Tayo, who spoke during a visit to Matori, Lagos State Head Office of The Nation newspaper said: “One of our core values is excellence and we would not compromise. But at the same time, because of the philosophy of quality education, we introduced the work-study programme whereby the indigent but diligent students would use their hands to work so that they can augment part of the fees needed to fund their education.

    “They work in the cafeteria, library, etc. They get paid and that has helped many of them. We also have parents’ consultative forum where parents partner with management, so that we have a pool of funds that children who lose their parents while in school can have access to, in order to fulfill their dreams. “We also have the ‘adopt a child scholarship’ where we reach out to our host community. Also, we serve as guarantor for parents to access loans for their children’s education. But most importantly, we believe in frugality. Our university is not-for-profit. Nobody shares one naira. It is ploughed back to make the system work better.”

    The vice chancellor, who was accompanied by the institution’s management team noted that the institution was being funded solely with earnings from its bakery, Guest House, water factory and other industries, with only two per cent subsidy from its proprietor, The Seventh Day Adventist Church. He added that the university spent about N20 million monthly on electricity.

    Prof Tayo noted that the university’s fees were not too high for the services provided, “as it runs 24-hour power supply and the fees also cover tuition, accommodation, laboratory, among other expenses.”

    He said the institution will be graduating its pioneer medical students in December, informing that the students have completed their various degrees.

    The Medical School, according to him, was establised in 2012.

    He said: “One of the areas of excellence that we want to carve a niche in this country is in the area of medicine, which we started in 2012. We have our accreditations from the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Nigeria (MDCN) and National Universities Commission (NUC), International Board of Education, National Postgraduate College and the West African College of Physicians. This December, we will turn out our first graduates in the medical school. They have completed their clinical rotation in India.”

    Managing Director of The Nation, Mr Victor Ifijeh pledged the organisation’s support for the educational development of the nation, while stressing the organisation’s dedication to objectivity, fairness, integrity and balanced reports.

    He lauded Babcock University for its achievements in the education sector, and its swift rise to global standards.

    Responding, Prof Tayo acknowledged The Nation for her growth in its ten years of existence noting that “The Nation is a force to reckon with. Your newspaper is always at the forefront. We want to thank God for the role you have played in shaping the public opinion by your accuracy and the way your news are reported”

  • Ex- Babcock VC defends fee hike

    Former Vice Chancellor (VC) of Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, Prof. Kayode Makinde, has reacted to public’s claims that Babcock University’s education is too expensive.

    Speaking with journalists at a luncheon in the university, he said the nation’s economic state and BU’s determination not to compromise standards were factors affecting the hike in fees.

    Defending the institution, Makinde said before the latest increment in August, school fees were last reviewed in 2011.

    He also said the fees would have been much higher but for the subsidy provided by the university’s proprietor, Seventh Day Adventist Church.

    However, the subsidy does not cover medicine.

    Makinde said studying medicine at BU was highly priced because: “BU’s medicine is a global track medicine. Its aim is to curb Nigerians going out to seek medical treatment in India and other countries. So we are sending students to learn what they do in those countries. When are we going to get tired, as a nation of outsourcing power, health and other factors?

    “A sitting President died receiving treatment abroad and was brought back in an ambulance; a sitting first lady died in a hospital abroad; A minister is currently receiving cancer treatment abroad. Would you rather invest in your children’s education and get them out industry-ready and in record time, or not? School fees is not what is expensive; life in Nigeria is.”

    Makinde said he would like to be remembered for sowing into the future of Nigeria, as well as for his credibility, integrity and productivity.

    Also speaking at the event, his successor, Prof Ademola Tayo, unveiled his agenda for his tenure to include: reinvigorating the academic scope of culture; management of external publics; consolidate spirituality; service delivery; continued first class training in medicine, among others.

    Tayo solicited the support of the university’s workers and parents to sustain higher standard of education and have a successful tenure.

    Meanwhile, the Council of Legal Education has adjudged BU as the overall best School of Law out of 42 Faculties of Law in Nigeria in the 2015 academic year, based on the cumulative performance of its students in the Bar Final Examinations of the Nigerian Law School.

    A statement by Joshua Suleiman, the Public Relations director,  noted that BU recorded the best results (95.8 percent), with the least number of failures, while the institution’s Bukoye Olayinka bagged one of the eight recorded first class in the bar exam across the country.
