Nigeria programs / Nigeria project 620-0602 · 1966–1988
EVALUATES THE UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA PROJECT FOR THE PERIOD 7/64 - 7/67. USAID CONTRACTED THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN IN 1/60 TO ASSIST IN ESTABLISHING AND DEVELOPING THE UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA BASED UPON THE LAND GRANT PHILOSOPHY OF ADJUSTING ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION AND LABORATORY WORK TO THE ACTUAL NEEDS OF THE POPULACE. MOST TARGETS HAVE BEEN REALIZED. PHYSICAL PLANTS HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED AT THE NSUKKA AND ENUGA CAMPUSES. 80% OF THE FACULTY IS NIGERIAN. THE ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH 9 FACULTIES (COLLEGES), 2 DIVISIONS, THE HANSBERY INSTITUTE OF AFRICAN STUDIES, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE, AS WELL AS A CONTINUING EDUCATION CENTER. A TOTAL OF 2,018 STUDENTS HAVE GRADUATED WITH 715 IN THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1967. PRESENT ENROLLMENT IS 3,100. THE OUTBREAK OF HOSTILITY IN NIGERIA FORCED THE UNIVERSITY TO CLOSE IN 6/67. RE-OPENING FOR THE 1967-68 SCHOOL YEAR IS UNLIKELY. PERFORMANCE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF EASTERN NIGERIA HAS BEEN PROFESSIONAL AND EXPEDITIOUS. EVEN DURING THE RECENT CRISIS ACCOMMODATIONS WERE MADE TO MEET THE SUDDEN INFLUX OF HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS MIGRATING FROM WESTERN AND NORTHERN REGIONS. ALSO, THE MIGRANT PROFESSORS WERE IMMEDIATELY EMPLOYED
