industry requirements.

Speaking at the convocation lecture of the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Abbas highlighted inconsistencies in academic standards across universities, which, he noted, have affected the credibility of Nigerian degrees in the international job market.

“It is time for universities to introduce a unified examination system, at least at the graduation level. This will help assess whether the grades awarded by various universities genuinely reflect students’ abilities and if they can compete globally,” he emphasized.

Abbas further argued that the lack of standardized testing has led to disparities in academic rigor, making it difficult to fairly evaluate graduates’ competencies.

“A second-class upper degree from one university might be equivalent to a third-class degree in another due to varying grading systems. We need a common final-year examination to ensure fairness and transparency in academic assessments,” he added.
