Robbers attack Ebonyi varsity female hostel

Suspected armed robbers have attacked female students of Ebonyi State University (EBSU), Abakalki in their hostel close to the College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS), injuring three students and two security men.

Daily Sun gathered that the hoodlums forced their way into ‘Oduoye Hostel’, a female hostel, situated outside the campus at about 1am.

It was learnt that two security men at the gate of the school were injured by the robbers; a situation which made others to run into hiding for safety.

According to eyewitness, “We were already asleep when we began to hear strange movement and noise, only to discover that robbers have invaded our hostel. They were entering rooms one after the other attacking and dispossessing people of their belongings, including phones and laptops.”

Dean, Students Affairs of EBSU, Prof. Hillary Eze, confirmed the incident, but noted that the robbery operation was quelled through prompt intervention of security agents.

“There was a robbery incident at one of our hostels. The robbers forced themselves into some rooms, which means the burglarproofs were forcefully removed, doors broken and students were attacked. I think by our calculation, about 16 phones and two or three laptops were made away with by the robbers, while security men on duty were also manhandled.”

He described as untrue that robbers shot some security men, saying the robbers only attacked the students and the security men with cutlasses just as he denied that four students were abducted

Prof. Eze, who said the three female students and two security men were injured, added that they were immediately rushed to the state police clinic by the policemen deployed to the scene and had been treated and discharged immediately.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Chris Anyanwu, when contacted, said he could not confirm the robbery attack because he was away on official duty at Abuja.

Nigerian Breaks Academic Record At Russia Medical University

A Nigerian student has achieved the highest grades at a Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow (RNRMU).
9jaSchoolGist that the 24-year-old Nigerian, Dr Victor Olalusi, has made history at Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow (RNRMU) has done the nation proud by becoming the first in the world to make a Grade Point Average of 5.0.


For his effort, the Federal Ministry of Education on Wednesday in Abuja honoured Dr Victor Olalusi.
Olalusi, who was the best graduating student in the whole Russian Federation in 2013, studied in RNRMU under the Russia-Nigeria Bilateral Education Agreement.

Speaking at the event, Dr MacJohn Nwaobiala, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry said a lot of Nigerian students were brilliant but Olalusi was a genius.
He said Olalusi had become an ambassador not only to the ministry but to Nigeria and Russia.

“We have to search the Guinness Book of Records for anybody who has achieved 5.0 in a university. It is curious and strange that all those that evaluated his performance could not find reason to reduce a point from him.
“You should be the ambassador of the Federal Scholarship Board, Ministry of Education, Nigeria and the Russian Federation.
“I look forward to the day you will stand before the President to receive your honour. We have recommendations to that effect, ’’ Nwaobiala said.

He then urged Olalusi to continue to be a role model to young Nigerians and also called on him to explore opportunities in post graduate research.

In her speech, Mrs Ifeoma Agunwa, the Director, Federal Scholarship Board, said Olalusi made 5.0 GPA in all the courses he took in the seven years he studied Medicine in Russia.

She said “Olalusi never had a 4.99 GPA. Even in the Russian language class, he did not fall below 5.0.”

In her citation on Olalusi, Agunwa said he ranked as one of the best students in the faculty which handed him a place in RNRMU’s Hall of fame for academic excellence.

She said that Olalusi had registered with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria and had the compulsory one-year housemanship training at State Specialist Hospital, Akure, Ondo State.

According to her, he is presently going through the compulsory National Youth Service scheme in Rivers.

Mr Artem Romanov, who represented the Russian Embassy, said that Olalusi’s feat was very significant for everybody in Russia.

Romanov said “Nigeria is blessed with abundant human potential which is officially acknowledged in Russia.

“It has been acknowledged in the Russian Ministry of Education that Nigerians have a lot of exceptional talents. Genetically, Nigerians grasp knowledge easily.
“Olalusi is a hardworking person. It is not easy to achieve such in Russia; it goes with talent and hard work.

“I urge you to engage your knowledge in the development of your father land.”
While showing his appreciation, Olalusi thanked God for his rare feat and also commended the Federal Government and the Scholarship Board for the opportunity given to young Nigerians to distinguish themselves.

Mr Olarewaju Olalusi, the father of Olalusi, said that his son’s achievement was as a result of hard work.

Olalusi said his son did not attend high class schools but normal public schools which spoke volumes of the standard of education in Nigeria.

He then urged parents to monitor their wards closely and make sure they were not distracted from their studies.

Four students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Ojeere,Abeokuta have been killed during a cult clash between two cult groups.

*They ‘re not our students—MAPOLY PRO
*4 suspected cultists arrested—POLICE
By Daud Olatunji
Some people believed to be cultists have allegedly killed four students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Vanguard gathered that one Muraina Ibrahim, popularly called Elebe of ND II, Computer Engineering Department, was killed last Wednesday along the popular sap route, while another ND II student of Mass Communication Department, simply identified as Demola, was last Saturday killed along MacJob Street at Fowobi area of the state capital.

The identities of the two other victims were yet to be ascertained at press time, but one of them was reportedly killed at Mango area of Oluwo, also on Saturday, while the other was killed at Iyana Oloke.

Findings have shown that Eiye and Buccaneer confraternities had been locked in a supremacy battle in the areas.
Contacted, Public Relations Officer of the institution, Sulaiman Adebiyi, denied that the dead students were MAPOLY’s.
He said he was aware of the death of two persons, whose identities had not been confirmed as MAPOLY students.
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relation Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, said eight persons, suspected to be cultists, had been arrested in connection with the killings.

The PPRO explained that police had been facing security challenges at Onikolobo and some other areas of the state, adding that students should not abuse their status to get involved in cultism and attack police officers.

We’ll get them—POLICE
He said: “We have been facing security challenges in Onikolobo for some days because of some suspected cultists clashing in the area and we would not fold our arms and allow breakdown of law and order.

“We will continue what we have to do within the ambit of the law and any cult member found would be dealt with.
“If the students feel the police are not doing the right thing, they should follow the procedure and not staging protest.
“We have our targets, we know who we are looking for, we know the black spots and we will fish them out. Any student wrongly arrested would be released after being questioned.”
Meanwhile, palpable fear has gripped residents of Oluwo and Adigbe areas of Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The areas which are largely dominated by students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ojeere, Abeokuta, have turned a ghost town, following onslaught by police.
When Vanguard visited the areas, many of the houses were under lock as students had fled their hostels for safer areas.

JAMB has become promoters of private varsities – ASUU

Chairman of ASUU,UI chapter,Prof.Segun Ajiboye,has alleged that investors in private universities are using the JAMB to promote their schools.
Ajiboye, who spoke in Ibadan on Tuesday on the re-allocation of candidates by JAMB to ‘needy’ institutions, said JAMB relevance had been undermined when universities in Nigeria began to decide the student they could admit through the post-UTME tests. 

Ethno-religious Violence Nigeria needs Ministry of Peace — UNILORIN VC

The Vice Chancellor of theUniversity of Ilorin(UNILORIN), Prof.AbdulGaniyu Ambali, has called for the establishment of a Ministry of Peace and Reconciliation in Nigeria.
Ambali said this while speaking with reporters in Ilorin last week.
The Vice Chancellor said the ministry will be important in dousing incessant ethno-religious violence in the country.
"The Ministry of Peace is already in operation in countries like Costa-Rica and Denmark among others and you can see the results," Ambali said.
"What is wrong if we have the same thing here in Nigeria?"
"Having a full-fledged Ministry for Peace would not be a bad idea as it would be in line with the practice in countries like Denmark and Costa Rica among others that are known for peace in the world today."
He added that "universities can introduce it as a compulsory module for their students to institutionalize it here"
The Vice Chancellor urged the government to find a holistic solution to the security challenges in the northern part of the country.

"There Are No Jobs" It's not true that Nigerian graduates are unemployable — Prof Adikwu

Nigerian graduates are well trained and employable but there are no jobs for them, says Vice Chancellor of theUniversity of Abuja(UNIABUJA), ProfessorMichael Adikwu.
Speaking at a forum of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), held in Abuja, Adikwu said the problem is not the quality of graduates but the availability of jobs.
"They say well our graduates are not employable, that's not true; the issue is that there are no jobs," he said.
"So, the issue is not that they have not been taught; they have been taught."
According to him, graduates are supposed to acquire the practical aspects of their training on the job.
But the jobs are not there for them.
"Most things people do are learnt on the job and not in the classroom.
"No doctor will tell you that he or she became a surgeon in the classroom; you do the theory and then the practical in the field."
In a related development, the Vice Chancellor revealed that the institution is set to hold its first convocation in six years.
Over 12,000 graduates have been graduated within the period.

Post UTME Redistribution We're saving students from universities’ money-making machine — JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said its decision to redistribute candidates is to save them from universities’ money-making machine.
According to the head of JAMB, Lagos, Dr. Beatrice Okorie, the new admission policy saves students the trouble of paying for post-UTME exams at institutions that will not admit them.
“If we had not done that, many of these candidates would have fallen prey of the universities’ money-making machine, that is, the post-UTME without securing admission even with their high scores," Okorie said in aVanguardreport.
She said with the redistribution, candidates have a better chance at securing admissions without hassles.
“What we have done is to look at those who have not met with the cut-off points of UNILAG based on merit, catchment areas and the educationally less disadvantaged areas, but who have chances of securing admission in other federal and state universities and push them there to write post-UTME tests," she added.

It will be recalled that the examination body had decided to redistribute candidates who scored below the cut-off marks required by the universities they chose as their first choice in the 2015 UTME to required institutions that need them.

Okorie, said the new admissions policy was to save candidates from universities’ money-making machine.

“If we had not done that, many of these candidates would have fallen prey of the universities’ money-making machine, that is, the post-UTME without securing admission even with their high scores."

SERAP, a non-governmental Organization, has sued the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and the University of Lagos (UNILAG) over the controversial cut-off marks set for admissions.

A non-governmental Organization has sued theJoint Admissions and Matriculation Boardand theUniversity of Lagos(UNILAG) over the controversial cut-off marks set for admissions.
TheSocio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project(SERAP) is seeking an order stopping JAMB, UNILAG and others from implementing the 250 score benchmark which is far above the 180 score set by JAMB as the nationwide university admission cut-off mark.
In a suit number FHC/L/CS/1139/2015, filed on Monday at the Federal High Court on behalf of SERAP and three applicants affected by the decision, Adeola Hammed Ayobami; Abass Ololade; and Abass Ajibola, by Adetokunbo Mumuni, it was argued that the decisions break Act establishing JAMB.
"The provisions of section 5(1) (c) (iii) of the JAMB Act are very clear and unambiguous," the suit read.
"The letter and spirit of the provisions is to ensure that the preferences of candidates in terms of the university they choose to attend are sacrosanct.
"Even a contrary or adverse decision by individual university cannot override decision made pursuant to the provisions of section (5)1) (c) (iii).”
SERAP wants the court to declare that the respondents' decision to raise the cut-off marks from the officially announced 180 to 250 is a direct violation of section 5(1)(c)(iii) of the JAMB Act cap 193 of the laws of the Federation which goes against the choices of the 2nd-4th applicants and all other candidates in the country.
The body also asked for “An order directing the respondents individually and/or collectively to reverse the decision to increase the cut-off point to 250 after stating publicly that it would be 180 and to fully and effectively implement the publicly announced 180 cut-off point.
"An order restraining the respondents individually and/or collectively from going ahead to implement the decision to increase the cut-off point to 250 instead of the publicly announced 180 cut-off point."
Joined in the suit, besides UNILAG and JAMB, are the permanent secretaries of the Federal Ministries of Justice and Education.
A date has not been set for hearing of the suit.
