Dr. Baba J Adamu, in a remark about Nigerian Development in education, he has these to say "The educational system in Nigeria and in many African countries, was urban conscious. It does not prepare the young Nigerians for a return to the land. Rather it alienate him or her from the land. Long term planning and going back to affordable farming was considered demeaning while furtive efforts were made on short term uncalculated planning and at pursuing current western standards of technology without adequate infrastructure to support them. I say we have to change our orientation. We recommend an appropriate technology that will take into cognizance and put into maximum use of the indigenous genius of the people and their local resources. Those are the only relevant technology that should be employed in all aspect of development. It is a fundamental law of economics that one should employ the resources that are scarce and maximize the use of resources that are plentiful. For Nigeria, that is labor-intensive, capital-saving ventures and methods, because cheap labor is available in abundance. Nigeria is a huge domestic market itself and has tradition of loving freedom. And it is a democratic tradition. The warmth of that tradition kept us united and will make us clap with pride. With the implementation of such  methods and from prudent fiscal policies and future vision, we will see no more poor planning, misplaced priorities, government, organizations and individual irresponsibility, incessant military coups, violent religious skirmishes, tribal conflicts and any social upheaval. In such a conflict and economic confusions, precious people-lives and times are lost, scarce natural resources destroyed, farms and industry abandoned and potential investors scared away. The production of food, technology advancements and other economic ventures require peace and stability. That is why the I call on any government to pursue workable policies with vigor, guarantees peace and stability which are vital for economic development and growth. We have at hand an elaboration of basic affordable technologies. Standardized housing design with gyps and a  system  of planning and prophylactic of maintenance services of that type of building appropriate to Nigerian cultural socio-economic needs. And a solar pumping systems, floating pumps for pumping in lakes, rivers, etc. for irrigation applications and boreholes submersible pumps. And other small scale high efficiency technology variant optional systems which are cost-effective, easy to apply and to improve. These are European solutions but modeled and applied to African condition.  The very fact that Nigeria and Africa entered the twentieth century with the hoe and cutlass, and at the end of the century have not improved on these 'primitive' tools, is an index of complete neglect, lack of stability, organizational problems and as a whole an economic disaster. If we can reverse this trend then surely we have a responsibility to act, and act now, thank you"  Click the images below to see friends during the University days.
