Getting Our Universities Back on Track is a broad narrative on the state of higher education in
\nNigeria, undertaken within the context of the author\u2019s experience as Vice Chancellor at Adekunle
\nAjasin University (AAUA), a public university in the country, from 2010 to 2015. The process by
\nwhich the author negotiated the challenges presented by AAUA in those years are carefully
\nunveiled in a manner that speaks to the emergence of new paradigms for university governance,
\npredicated upon an untrammelled commitment to meritocracy. It is a narrative on the success
\nstory of modernization of a public university operating in a particularly difficult policy and politics
\nterrain. It equates a practice manual for university governance in Nigeria, and arguably beyond.<\/p>\n
