The National Universities Commission (NUC) will establish a portal for Ph.D holders in order to facilitate their engagement in the Nigerian university system, the Executive Secretary, Prof Julius Okojie, has said.
OKojie said an an interactive dinner with newsmen on Thursday in Abuja that it was worrisome that Ph.D holders were unemployed when their services were needed in the universities.
According to him, many Ph.D holders visit his office looking for job, hence the need for a portal that where their data would be uploaded for easy access to any university that may need their services.
``It is amazing seeing the number of Ph.D holders that come to my office and say they are looking for jobs.
``On the other hand, many universities are looking for Ph.D holders to employ; we will create a portal that will serve as a pool from which the universities can engage such people.’’
He said that the nine newly approved private universities had been directed to institute a credible staff enrolment programme.
On the establishment of many of the private universities in Ogun State, he said they were all on merit, adding that several other factors might have informed the decision of the proprietors to site them in favour Ogun State.
