Regional seminar on university-level continuing education for manpower development in Africa

Abstract

This is only one of three papers emanating from Nigeria, and I have left it to colleagues nearer the seat of Federal Government to answer the questions in Part I of the Case-Study Guidelines prepared for this Seminar. It should perhaps be noted that Nigeria is larger in size and population than most African States (being probably 9th in the world's population table). Further, it has a long educational tradition, both pre-colonials and "Western", and very many Nigerians have traveled abroad to study, so that there are trained representatives of most important professions in the country, from advertising agents to zoologists.
