Today is the International Day of Education, & an urgent question to ask is;
Are our universities becoming better?
Will technology disrupt their existence? And
Will they become obsolete very soon?
Here are some reasons why I believe they will, if we fail to redesign them.
>>>
With the fast growing economy which requires more “technicians, artisans & vocational professionals”. These professions should also be given equal respect and dignity.
70% of youths today can't afford a public or private universities education.
This alone should make us have a rethink.
It's terrible that over 90% of our education in Nigeria is In-person when the world is moving online. You must sit in class to learn from a lecturer sweating & shouting in a hall with 500 students.
Is it the lack of technical knowledge or the political unwillingness to innovate?
Anyway just as Uber disrupted the Taxi industry, universities should be on the look out.
A study by Dell Tech. shows that 85% of the jobs that will exist in 10 years havent been discovered so why can't our universities think ahead & innovate?

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
