On Nigerian Professors

When Michael E. Porter, a professor of competitive strategy from Harvard came calling in August, 2011, courtesy  of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, one of his first points of call was Nigeria’s Presidential Villa. To do what?  To lecture Nigeria’s government officials and business class on how to make Nigeria more competitive.  He was received by the VP Nnamadi Sambo.  Prof. Porter has over 18 solid books, and over 125 articles under his belt. The question arises, how come with about 100 universities, Nigeria has no Professors with Porter’s clout?   Share your opinion.
