It is time now that political parties of every hue and hype focused their manifestos, programmes and policies on developmental vision and pragmatic approach and action to achieve the goals of social justice. There is no denying that the most effective measure in this direction is the involvement of youth in developmental activities and a harmonious harnessing of their youthful energies and enthusiasm. For this to happen on the ground, we, as an upcoming nation, need to orient ourselves towards development, whether on farms or in factories, on technologies or service sectors, et al.

Education Research 4 (3): 70 - 80, 2011 © Wilolud Journals, 2011 Printed in Nigeria ISSN: 2141 - 4265 http://www.wiloludjournal.com ADMISSION AS A FACTOR IN THE NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES’ MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS Babatunde Oyedeji Dept of Politics and International Relations, Lead City University, Ibadan ABSTRACT Admission is a necessary foundation building for joining a university institution for study or for scholarship. It is the climax to a string of academic activity starting from the cradle (of applicants) onto the matriculation watershed. Universities therefore take the task of admission of Students into their portals seriously insisting that as part of its basic academic freedom, the University Senate should provide and protect policies and processes for admission. Phillip G Altback described the central elements of academic life as ‘….. the admission of students, the curriculum, the criteria for the award of degrees, the selection of new members of the professoriate, and the basic direction of the academic work of the institution’1. This paper seeks to dissect the background and circumstances affecting and afflicting the admission process and its pivotal role in the business of tertiary education in Nigeria. It will attempt to draw connections as between admissions and variables such as the quality, quantity, stakeholder involvement, institutional effectiveness of the process and how it features as an instrument for higher quality higher education.

...Praise for The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down “Fadiman describes with extraordinary skill the colliding worlds of Western medicine and Hmong culture.” —The New Yorker “This fine book recounts a poignant tragedy…It has no heroes or villains, but it has an abundance of innocent suffering, and it most certainly does have a moral…[A] sad, excellent book.” —Melvin Konner, The New York Times Book Review “An intriguing, spirit-lifting, extraordinary exploration of two cultures in uneasy coexistence…A wonderful aspect of Fadiman’s book is her even-handed, detailed presentation of these disparate cultures and divergent views—not with cool, dispassionate fairness but rather with a warm, involved interest that sees and embraces both sides of each issue…Superb, informal cultural anthropology—eye-opening, readable, utterly engaging.” —Carole Horn, The Washington Post Book World “This is a book that should be deeply disturbing to anyone who has given so much as a moment’s thought to the state of American medicine. But it is much more…People are presented as [Fadiman] saw them, in their humility and their frailty—and their nobility.” —Sherwin B. Nuland, The New Republic 3/462 “Anne Fadiman’s phenomenal first book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, brings to life the enduring power of parental love in an impoverished refugee family struggling to protect their seriously ill infant daughter and ancient spiritual traditions from the tyranny of welfare bureaucrats and intolerant...
