ation.com UNIPORT Students Protest Death of Colleague

Students of the University of Port-Harcourt are currently protesting the death of their colleague, a female final year student of Theater Arts who died yesterday.
According to information the students have barricaded the East-West road and have chased away all medical officials at the University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital and locked up the entrance gate.
The students blamed the death of their colleague on the negligence of the hospital officials and said over 20 students of the university have died in the past as a result of this negligence and carelessness on the side of the doctors and nurses serving in the school owned hospital, UPTH.
Even after the School Management collect medical fees from students that the school and the hospital still do not care about the health of the students of the institution
One of the leaders of the protest, Miss Judith Oyila who is a final year student of Theatre Art said, “We are angry because we have lost another of our student again in UPTH, a 200 level student of Theatre Art.”
“She died because of neglect by the doctors and nurses in that hospital. How could it be that a student slumped and students rushed her to UPTH but the doctors left her for over six hours without treatment and the poor girl died?”
“We want the world to hear the injustice that we are facing here even in the hand of the doctors in our institution’s hospital. The doctors abandoned her without treatment.”
“They gave excuses that do not worth it: saying no bed to keep her, no fuel, no ambulance until she died. The Doctors forgot that we pay for health.”
“We want the government to sanction the school and UPTH for this, as well compel them to do a review of their policies as it concerns students health.”

Post-UTME Should Be Scrapped, NANS Tells FG

The National Association of Nigerian Students, on Sunday urge the Federal Government and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to stop the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examinations being conducted by tertiary institution.
According to the policy, which was adopted on July 14 at JAMB’s 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination would be reassigned to other universities with lower number of applicants than their capacities.
The Federal Government, on July 28, however, overruled the policy after protests were sparked off in parts of the country.
But the President of NANS, Tijani Usman, said, “We have a larger number of students applying to institutions. JAMB has the prerequisite to say they are changing the institution of choice. Ordinarily, when one sits JAMB, the availability is first and second choice.
“Most institutions will take only those who apply to the school as their first choice without considering second-choice candidates. If JAMB is doing that, it means they are trying to help most of our people. The board has a statute that establishes it and once the body offers a candidate admission, every university has to comply.”

Federal College Of Education, Kano Begin Seven-Day Warning Strikeg

Members of the Academic Staff of the Federal College of Education, Kano will today, 24th August, 2015 embark on a one-week industrial action to express their dissatisfaction the Federal Government’s decision to revert Federal Colleges of Education to its former status.

It would be recalled that the Federal Government had on Friday, 21st August reverted its decision to upgrade the Federal College of Education, Kano to university of education.

Members of the staff union accused the provost of sabotaging the upgrading of the institution, over what they described as his selfish interest.

Speaking to reporters over the new directive, the Provost of the College, Dr Rabi Jubirila hinted that a directive from the Federal Government mandated the reversal of the College of Education to its former status.

Rabi said: ”The letter received yesterday from the Federal Government specifically cited two major issues, directing that by the copy of this letter, you are directed to reverse the school to its original status.

“Also, the letter stated that consequently, you are directed to continue to administer the College as Federal College of Education and as the Provost of the College with all right and privilege.”

Dr Rabi, who denied allegations that provosts of the colleges were behind the withdrawal of the university status, insisted that “four Provosts cannot be too powerful to influence the Federal Government’s decision”.

SSANU Threatens To Shut Down Universities If…-

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) on Sunday in Lagos disclosed that the association might go ahead with its planned to shut down all universities in the country should the federal government fail to rescind its decision to stop funding universities’ staff schools.
Mr Alfred Jimoh, SSANU’s national vice-president, Western Zone, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the association might go ahead with its planned strike, should the Federal Government privatise the schools.
Jimoh told NAN that the association, which had in June carried out a peaceful protest over the issue, disclosed that it had received a circular to the proposed privatisation.
He said the circular from the Federal Ministry of Education had directed the vice-chancellors of federal universities to stop accommodating teachers of staff schools in their emolument structure.
“SSANU, on receiving the circular, expressed dissatisfaction with the development by threatening to withdraw their services should government go ahead with its plan to stop funding staff schools,” he said.
He warned that the strike, which would be unprecedented, would not only affect students and the education sector, but would also question the current administration’s promise of creating employment for Nigerians.
“In spite of appeals from concerned stakeholders, the government seemed resolute on going ahead with the planned privatisation. Ever since we called on government to review its stand on the issue, nothing seems to have been done on that because we have not received any feedback. Government seems to be going about it in an underground manner. But we are just watching because we shall resist any attempt by the government to carry out its plan if it goes ahead with it.
“On our part, the National Executive Committee of SSANU will meet over the issue from August 27 to August 28 at the University of Jos for the next line of action,” Jimoh disclosed.
He urged the government to reconsider its stand on the issue in order not to allow the peace being enjoyed in the universities currently to be truncated. (NAN)

FG Reverts The decision to Upgrade Colleges of Education to Universities

The Federal Government has reverted its decision to upgrade some colleges of education to universities of education.
It would be recalled that the Federal Government had earlier approved the upgrade of Federal College of Education, Kano; Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo; Federal College of Education, Zaria; and Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri to universities of education.
Consequently the provosts of the affected institutions have been directed to resume in their offices immediately.
Responding to this, the Provost of the Provost, Federal College of Education, Kano, Dr. Rabi Jubrila Muhammed, debunked the rumour that this reversal was influenced by the provost if the institutions mentioned, saying it was not possible four for provision to influence the decision of
Meanwhile, the members of Academic Staff Union of the FCE, Kano, are planning to embark on a one-week warning strike to express their dissatisfaction over the issue.

WAEC is Not Considering CBT Yet - WAEC Official

The Head, National Office, West African Examination Council, Charles Eguridu, has said the council is not considering adopting the Computer-Based Test mode for its examinations.
According to him, it will amount to “intellectual dishonesty’’ for him to say that the council would introduce CBT in the next five years or the near future.
He further stated that the purpose of education is not to pass examinations but to prepare people for life and unfortunately CBT cannot ensure that.
“There is what we call the cognitive domain; that is what you have learnt that you can put in your head.
“There is also what we call affective domain that has to do with your emotions.
“There is also what we call the psychomotor domain that is skills which you can express using your hands and your body.
“I am yet to see any education expert who will tell you that you can measure the psychomotor domain using CBT.
“Any test that will use computer to evaluate who will be a good carpenter cannot be a valid test.’’
He said the examinations conducted by the council took into cognizance the three domains that measured ability to recall, apply and practicalise.
He said that even in Netherlands where CBT is prominent, the country has not yet started using CBT in all it exams.
“In Netherlands … they have not been able to migrate 40 per cent.
“How many schools in Nigeria have hardware? How many schools in Nigeria have the facilities to have those computers?
“There is the additional problem of electricity and internet connectivity.
“What JAMB is doing is commendable because theirs is an admission test; it is a certification examination.’’

President Muhammadu Buhari wants to reduce the cost of tertiary education in Nigeria

He said:“For us at TETfund, it may just be that government has taken a decision and we are supposed to ensure that it is facilitated and whatever contribution we need to make to add to an Executive Bill emanating that would raise the collection from two to four percent,” adding that the increase would mean a lot for TETfund.”

Abia targets 100,000 youths for technical education

rAbia State Government says no fewer than 100,000 youths across the 17 Local Government Areas in the state will benefit from its proposed “Education for Empowerment” programme aimed at reviving technical skills among youths.
Deputy Governor, Ude Okochukwu, who disclosed this at a stakeholders’ engagement meeting held in Umuahia, added that already, three technical colleges, namely Boys Technical College, Aba; Government Technical College, Ohafia; and Afara Technical College, Umuahia had been selected to serve as pilot take-off schools for the project.
He said that the project, which is expected to commence in a month’s time, was aimed at reviving technical colleges in the state to train youths on technical skills for self-reliance.
Okochukwu also regretted the dwindling interest of youths in vocational studies, adding that the state was determined to encourage technical skills among youths to curb youth unemployment.
He hinted that the state had engaged the services of the proprietor of Kiara College in United Kingdom, Mr. Endi Ezengwa, “to help revive technical and vocational education” in the state.
Meanwhile participants at the forum were unanimous that revival of technical skills among youths should be given a priority by stakeholders to help reduce unemployment.
Later in an interview, Ezenwa told journalists that equipping Abia youths with technical skills was a better form of empowerment than giving them vehicles. He maintained that inculcating technical skills in youths would help them become “publicly employed, privately employed or self-employed”.
Ezenwa further said the training would be based on the manpower needs of the local industries, adding that the industrialists would be engaged to make known their specific manpower needs.
According to him, the project will help improve the standards of goods produced by the small scale industries in Aba, the industrial hub of the South-East zone.
He also said that psychometric tests would be conducted for the trainees to determine their educational and entrepreneurial capabilities to enable them to train in the area of competence.

Student Writes Exam On Wedding Day In Her Wedding Dress

Student of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo (RUGIPO), Ondo State were flabbergast when a lady stormed the exam hall garbed in wedding gown.
According to the Nation, an HND 1 Accountancy student of Department of Accountancy, Oluwatunmise Adejube had no choice than to appear to write her examination after she was pronounced a new bride.
Adejube was accompanied by a group of young ladies, who stormed the school in a convoy of three exotic cars

After she said “yes I do” to her beau, Oluwatumise, a student of Department of Accountancy, hurriedly left the Owo Local Government Area, where she swore matrimonial oath, and rushed to the school for her Higher National Diploma (HND) 1 examination.

It was gathered that an hour later, Oluwatunmise was on her way from the examination hall to reception, where her husband and guests were waiting for her.

An invigilator, who spoke told the Nation on condition of anonymity, said Oluwatumise was allowed to write the paper despite her lateness for the exam because of her determination not to be carried away by the euphoria of her wedding.

Speaking with our reporter after writing the paper, Oluwatumise, who now answers Mrs Adesina, said she had no choice than to leave the court room to write the paper, stressing that her education was as important to her as her marriage.

She said: “When the wedding date was fixed some months ago, nobody knew it would clash with my second semester examination. What appears to be a saving grace for me is that, both the wedding and examination are taking place in the same town. If otherwise, I would have missed the three-unit paper and carry it automatically.”

The groom, Adesina, told the Nation that he was startled when his bride told him the examination timetable clashed with the wedding. He said he , Production Management, was considered the toughest and her spouse would be writing the paper on the day of their wedding.

He said: “I really praised her dogged determination. It was like a tug of war because she had to prepare for her exam and ran around for the wedding at the same time. Now that the confusion is over, I give thanks to God for making it easy for us.”

Students, Parents Lambaste Babcock University Over Fees Hike

Parents and students of Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, have publicly lambaste the increase in the school fees for the 2015/2016 academic session by the school authorities, describing the new fee as outrageous, unspeakable, nasty, atrocious, wicked and unjustifiable.

According to the parents, the new fees is between 25 to 100 per cent higher than the old fees depending on the course of study, a development, which they rejected.

9ja School Gist learnt that the new fee released on Monday indicates that Law students, who were earlier asked to pay N800, 000 per session, are now to pay N1.5 million as a full session fee, while the medical students are to pay N3.1 million, instead of the N2 million earlier stipulated.
Some of the parents, who spoke with the our correspondent, said they could not understand why the university authorities increased the fees after they had already paid the fees released in July.

A parent, Mrs Sarah Martins said: “This is suicidal. The school is very inconsiderate. It would even have been better to increase the fees gradually but to increase it by that much all of a sudden in the face of the economic hardship in the country is killing.”

A 400-level student of Economics Department, who spoke under condition of anonymity, described the hike in fees as insensitivity on the part of the school’s management, adding, “I am in my final year and I just saw that I am paying the most expensive fees since I entered the school in 2012. Never have I had to pay this much. I don’t even know how to tell my parents.”

Another student of Medicine and Surgery claimed that the fees were not rumours being formulated, but was available on the school website for all to see.
The Director, Department of Communication and Marketing of the institution, Mr Joshua Suleiman, in his response, while speaking with Nigerian Tribune said that the increase was occasioned by the devaluation of the naira against the United State dollar.
He said: “The increase in fees is a result of the devaluation of the naira coupled with the economic hardship being experienced. The value of the naira has dropped.

Things are not the same way they used to be. The university, known for its high standard, decided to find means to keep in touch with the economic situation so as to continue to provide its excellent service that it is known for.

“The decision was not made solely by the school administration, but was made in a meeting involving the management, the parents’ representatives and the students’ representatives. This is the first time in five years that the school is increasing its fees.”

The Babcock University Student Association (BUSA) President, Mr Kako Mavalla, cautioned students to keep calm and civil, while registering their displeasure. He also urged them to wait for the outcome of a scheduled consultative forum between parents and the authorities early in the month of September.

Aye Vs EiyeKwara Poly denies 16'dead cultists'as Police arrests 42 suspects

Police in Kwara state have arrested 42 suspects in connection to last week's cult war in which 16 cultists, believed to be students of theKwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, were reportedly died.
The arrests come even as the management of the polytechnic denied reports that its students were involved or killed in the clash between Aye and Eiye confraternities last weekend.
According to several reports, the violence started with an attack in the polytechnic, escalating into a war in which 16 students lost their lives in separate attacks.
An eyewitness who was quoted in a The Nation report said it was an isolated killing that triggered reprisal.
"It all started around 4 pm at the weekend. A victim who lived at Agbooba was killed beside a bridge close to the filling station at Oja Tuntun area of Ilorin," the source reportedly said.
“Another dead body was found at Victory Hotel, Agbooba on Sunday.
"One suspected cultist was murdered at Irewolede yesterday. The deceased was chased to the area and in the process was matcheted by his assailants."
At least one of the attacks is believed to have happened on campus, during the screening of aspirants for the Students Union Government’s election at the weekend.
But the Deputy Rector, Administration, of the polytechnic, Engineer Ahmed Aminu, said there was no such violence.
"We wish to tell the public and media that it is not true that there was a cult clash on our campus," he said.
He added that if any clash occurred as reported, then it had nothing to do with students of the polytechnic.
Following the attacks, the spokesperson of the state police command, Ajayi Okasanmi (ASP), had confirmed the arrest of 30 suspects on Monday, 14 of whom are culpable.
Reports quoting the police indicate that a further 12 persons were arrested later, bringing the total number of suspects to 42.

Nigeria Education Buhari under pressure as ASUU rejects downgrade of 4 universities to COEs

Universities workers' unions and other stakeholders have turned to President Muhammadu Buhari over alleged plans by the Federal Government to downgrade four universities to college of education status.
According to rumors, the universities;Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo, Ondo State;Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri, Imo State;Federal College of Education, Zaria; and theFederal University of Education, Kano, are all penciled down for downgrade, a move which theAcademic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)and theSenior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU)have rejected.
Agitations began last week when the news broke that the universities, which were originally colleges of education upgraded by the administration of former PresidentGoodluck Jonathan, would be downgraded.
Though there is no official communication from the government confirming or denying the move, stakeholders in the affected institutions are certain that the Buhari administration is set to downgrade the universities as it restructures the education sector.
Speaking withPunch,the Chairman of the Adeyemi Federal University of Education Joint Non-Teaching Staff Action Committee Chairman, Femi Lademikan, said there is no reason to downgrade the universities.
“We want our university to remain," Lademikan said.
"We are appealing to the government through this peaceful demonstration that what we want is our university status.
“We want to tell President Buhari that we have everything required to make this institution a university.
"We have the people, resources and everything to take to maintain this school.
"We have the structure and the enabling environment, just as we are peaceful and cooperative."
He called on Buhari to reject the plan.
“Mr. President must not listen to people who don’t love him, sycophants and those enemies of progress.”
Similarly, the Chairman of the Federal University of Education, Kano, chapter of ASUU, Dr.Abubakar Haruna, alleged sabotage.
"We feel that the President must have been misinformed on the objectives for which the colleges were upgraded. The damage this decision would do to host communities is better imagined.
“The plot to revert this development, in our opinion, is unpatriotic, counter-productive, obnoxious and retrogressive."
With no official communication on the matter, it is hard to know what moves the President is likely to make.
However, any move the FG makes would be expected to take students into consideration because some of them enrolled in these institutions because they are universities.

Oyedepo said this while addressing journalists at a press conference to mark the second convocation ceremony of theLandmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State.

Rather, people should commend private university owners, in the face of several challenges they face in the country," he said.
