Abstract
ABSTRACT
Nigerian tertiary institutions are characterized with certain vices that are negatively affecting their mandate of quality teaching, research and ethical based mentorship. Vices, such as bribery for admission, sex for marks and other forms of indiscipline had transformed to a cankerworm that is eating deeply into the fabrics of the institutions and by extension affecting the Nigerian society at large. Z. I. Oseni in his drama entitled Al-Amidul Mubajjal joined the league of prominent Arabic play writers who contribute positively to the growth, development and rebranding of Nigerian society by condemning corruption and indiscipline in Nigerian educational sector, whose work is yet to receive adequate attention of researchers. This study therefore, aimed to investigate some contemporary social-economic vices in Oseni’s play called Al- cAmīidul Mubajjal to measure its contribution to a value based education in Nigerian Universities. The researcher adopted descriptive approach to complete this study. It was discovered that the play condemned extortion of tertiary institutions’ candidates and their parents to gain admission, established that the consequence of sex for marks is catastrophic and that oppressing others in an academic setting is a grievous crime. The paper recommended that the play is staged for more impact.
