University Curriculum

One of the major causes of unemployment, is not that there is scarcity of jobs, but

dearth of skilled manpower to fill existing opportunities in the jobmarket.

Currently over 70% of graduates from Nigerian universities and various tertiary

institutions have difficulty in getting jobs. In fact, 7 out of 10 universitygraduates are unemployed,

The eagle has the longest life-spanof its species

But to reach this age,the eagle must make a hard decision.

It can live up to 70 years

Its long and flexible talons can no longergrab prey which serves as food

In its40s

Its long and sharp beak becomes bent

Its old-aged and heavy wings,due to their thick feathers,

become stuck to its chest andmake it difficult to fly.

Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process ofchange which lasts 150 days.

The process requires that the eagle flyto a mountain top and sit on its nest.

There the eagle knocks its beak againsta rock until it plucks it out.

After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then itwill pluck out its talons.

When its new talons grow back, theeagle starts plucking its old-aged

feathers.

30 more years

And after five months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for

Many times, in order to survivewe have to start a change process.

Why is change needed?

We sometimes needto get rid of old memories,

habits and other past traditions.

Only freed from past burdens,can we take advantage of the present.
