TALKING ABOUT ACADEMICS MERIT FOR POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA.

Akande, Akin Sanyaolu Before anyone starts abusing me about certificate matter,let me quickly tell you that professionalism too has an attachment in certificate. This is why an electrical electronic graduate in shell or chevron would be a sight manager and an illiterate or school cert elect elect would be field engineer. On my own profession, the certificate matters a lot because an agricultural consultant can't be a school cert holder talk less an applied economist. The argument now is that,not everyone of us will end up searching for job with our certificate but we need experience from professionals. On this note, you need to graduate with good grade and stop hiding under the cover that "who certificate epp?" Working under a company as a fresh graduate sometimes matters a lot even if someone would end up recommending you. For example: immediately I convocated,I was recommended to castle properties Lagos and I had a short period experience in marketing and d

Akande Akin Sanyaolu Before the University of Ibadan minimum stipulated 3.5 cgpa for one to be involved in politics as a student, the institution had produced thousands of Dino Melaye who contributed into the collapse of the students union, destabilization of the institution calendar, perpetration of cult activities and waste of innocent lives on campus whilst hiding under aluta continua victoria aserta for  their selfiah gain and till date,many of them are contributing to political destruction in Nigeria. Let me use myself as an example: after my 100level,I was on 3.3cgpa and was not allowed to participate in faculty politics because the university stipulated only minimum 3.5cgpa. I was also screened out by the students affairs division from participating in my hostel politics but on recommendation of the warden, I was given an approval based on my service to the hall which was known by all and sundry. At the end ofy 200level I rose to 4.5cgpa which allowed me to participate

Akande Akin Sanyaolu Its expedient that graduates are tested academically, medically and practically before given an employment even if its family or business tie recommendation to know the ability and capability of such graduate. In 2012, i was recommeñded for an employment in a consulting firm in lagos and till date the interview and test( both academically and personality assessment), including medical test,are a reference point of the pride of my ability to seek for job if need be ,had it been i end up not being an entrepreneur. A graduate must be able to defend his qualification. Technical work and entrepreneurship is good but it makes a lot of sense that graduates should learn under experienced people first before going to pride himself an entrepreneur.

I think what i learned in this experience

Akande Akin Sanyaolu No government succeeds on suspicion and distrust of past government.- Akande Akin Sanyaolu. Call it University politics,I will tell you that leadership is leadership. Leadership has no category. As the chairman of Tedder Hall University of Ibadan in 2008-2010 and also the Chairman of the students union transition committee,2009/2010, I did not fail because I did not lose focus by venturing into digging through the activities of the past administrations,instead,I rolled out my plans for my constituency for the betterment of Tedderites and uites. Its in my head that I had a year to operate and bring about development and so,there was no time to be suspecting anybody despite some issues on ground but we saw them as irrelevant. A lot of time is needed in unravelling what was done without your knowledge and so,I believe its better to establish a structure down to check the occurrence of past mistake than running after issues of the past.
