paraphernalia of the Internet age are necessary, even the "Ogas at the
top". The telephone numbers on the website of the Nigeria Customs
Service do not work, the -emails though seem to be working but mails
never get answered.
A Rivers State Commissioner of Information, once told me on an
occasion I requested for his e-mail address over the phone, to confirm
a story, "My brother, I have e-mail address, but we are too busy here
to be checking e-mails". That man is now a member of the House of
Representatives.
A Police Public Relations Officer at the Rivers State Police Command
headquarters, once told me on a visit to her office that their
Internet facility had not been renewed for three months, when I sought
to know why; she told me that her subordinates, who were supposed to
effect the renewal were "busy with more important matters". She was
doing her doctorate at the University of Port Harcourt at that time.
Last week, a lady who said she lectures at the Federal University
Otuoke, and also a doctorate student(I do not know which institution),
was asking me questions about Google scholar, Wikipedia, etc, which
suggested that she has very scanty knowledge of the Internet. Sounds
like fiction? sure, but it is true!
CAO.

A good observation, right on point. As it is, in a world where webometric factors remain one of the measure of visibility and ranking, our universities will perpetually remain under. During the last year PG admission, the UI website was so crude that one can only complete the PG applications on Microsoft Internet explorer, the page wouldn't just open on other browsers. I think the Alumni Association should create a Volunteers programme in various fields of endeavour that can be accessible to the school. The PG School website was created sometimes in 2004 by a pharmacist, an MInfSc student. Though it has witnessed a lot of improvements, lot much is still desired.
It's really sad, that UI hasn't been able to paste anything on Prof. Chinua Achebe on its website, but it may not be unconnected with the challenges of frequency of page update by the webmaster. CHINUA ACHEBE remains one of the leading lights of UI.
