It's kinda wild how President Tinubu appoints 36 new people to university councils all at once. From what I've seen, when a president does something like this, it usually shakes things up a lot. Sometimes it leads to changes that make schools better, like new ideas for teaching or new ways to help students get jobs. But honestly, it can also be pretty messy if the people picked don’t know much about higher education or just care about politics.

In my experience talking to friends at university, these big changes cause a lot of gossip and stress among staff because they don’t know if their department heads or policies are about to change again. It can also affect jobs, because new council members sometimes want to bring in their own people. But who knows, if Tinubu got these appointments right and chose people who actually care about education, maybe it could mean more funding or better opportunities for students and staff. I’m just crossing my fingers it’s not all politics like usual, because Nigerian universities need real support, not just a new set of bosses.
