Abstract:
|
We focus on the teaching of statistics at the University of Lagos (UNILAG, for short) Lagos, Nigeria. It is common to find journal articles dealing with programs in statistics at universities and research institutions located in statistically advanced countries such as USA and UK. But it is not quite as common to come across similar articles from under-developed countries in Africa. Yet there is much to be gained on the part of statisticians from the latter countries if they can avail themselves of opportunities to interact with their international or should we say transcontinental colleagues. We showcase what is on offer statistically at UNILAG, highlighting critical areas such as available degree programs, enrollment, degrees awarded, staffing, curricula, organization of teaching and teaching infrastructures, present challenges and future prospects.
