The Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Professor Adebayo Simeon Bamire has revealed why public universities in the country cannot retain the services of its best-graduating students.
According to Bamire, the inability to employ the best-graduating students in public institutions is due to lack of autonomy in employing lecturers by each university.
The VC, while speaking ahead of the university’s 47th convocation at the Senate building on Monday, said the school would have loved to retain its students that graduated with first class degrees but lacked the power to do so.
