Dear Tunji:
===========
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
(2) Albeit very short notice, you may be interested in viewing
a streaming
video of Ambassador Arthur C. I. Mbanefo of your country,
Nigeria -- see
ATTACHMENT II.
(3) BTW, I found an old msg of Prof. G. O. Ajayi of the Obafemi
Awolowo
University in Nigeria (ATTACHMENT III) in response to the
announcement
of Global Telecommunication University by the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) some years ago.
Pls feel free to visit him to discuss about our project
of establishing
a Global University System/Nigeria.
Dear Shahab:
============
(4) I am so sorry that you missed to view Ambassador Kamal's
(Pakistan)
video last week.
Pls try to view this time.
This type of video presentation can supplement to the
web teaching
platform of your virtual university -- particularly if there
will be a
broadband Internet.
Dear Larry:
===========
(5) If we use QuickTime Pro, can we expand the video size
to full computer
screen? -- though, obviously there will be more jittering.
Best, Tak

Subject: Re: Connection to Nigeria for GUS project
Dear Tak,
Thanks for the sustained interest and responses. We are slowly
but surely
building the necessary conditions and constituences for some of
the ideas we
have been discussing. Unfortunately, Nigeria was not one of the
Leland
countries on account of our previous Military dictatorship. However,
having
been a consultant to the Leland's alter ego, the UNDP's Afican
Internet
Initiative, there are residual threads that we can pick up and
develop. I am
off to South Africa today Friday for a week and will be back in
Abuja, Nigeria
by the 10th. I will check my mail form time to time, but please
fill free to
contact Paul Kalu if you need more information. We will surely
meet when I
retrun to NY. Thanks again for the contacts and sustained interest.
We can DO
IT. I know we can. Cheers, Tunji

Prof. G. O. Ajayi
Obafemi Awolowo University
Dept. of Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Nigeria
Fax.: +234 1 452 1939
<<06/23/95, 8:19 am>>His post in GTU-L of today;
Our department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering
has a well
established Communication Engineering Division which has been
actively
involved in teaching and research in telecommunications for about
25 years.
Our department served as training center for candidates from
other African
countries under the AINSTI (UNESCO) programme.
We also have close research links with reputable international
telecommunication establishments such as INTELSAT, COMSAC in
the USA,
Communications Research Centre, Canada, the International Centre
for
Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy, etc. Our University
was the
location of the joint Radiometric Measurement of Rain Attenuation
on
Earth-space link. The radiometric project was carried out in
collaboration
with INTELSAT, COMSAC and our University together with the Nigerian
Telecommunication Plc, as part of the ITU radiopropagation measurement
campaign in Africa. I served as the Project Coordinator.
In view of the above, I shall be interested in participating
in future
deliberations on the Global Telecommunication University. In
addition, the
Obafemi Awolowo University will also be interested in taking
part in the
Global Telecommunication University.
