The needs of Nigeria (then a <a href="/wiki/Colonial_Nigeria" title="Colonial Nigeria">British colony</a>), however, exceeded the productivity of the country's only university. In particular, the University of Ibadan had no faculty of engineering or technology, law school, pharmacy school or management training abilities. The Ashby Commission, which was set up by the British, was to review the tertiary education needs of the soon-to-be-independent nation of Nigeria. The government of the Western Region did not want to rely on federal universities or those of other regions to admit its numerous secondary school leavers. The University at Ife was founded as a rebuttal to the perceived politicization of higher education opportunities in Nigeria and the Western Region and was designed to fill the gaps in manpower needs. </p><p>In October 1960, the Ashby commission recommended additional regional universities in the northern and eastern regions of Nigeria, and another federal university in the Lagos protectorate,<sup id="cite_ref-faf_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-faf-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but none in the more educationally advanced Western Region, which had a "free and universal primary education" program.
