UNILAG 'No lecturers will maltreat you' HOD tells new students

She said the school would not tolerate indiscipline, urging the students to abstain from what could make them lose their admission.
The Head of Department (HOD) of Mass Communication of University of Lagos (UNILAG),Dr Abigail Ogwezzy-Ndisika, has assured freshers that if they are well behaved, they will not have any problems with lecturers,TheNationreports.

'Once you are obedient, no lecturer will maltreat you,” she said when warning them against unlawful organisation
Ndisika also warned freshers against begging their teachers for marks.

The department, she said, would recommend expulsion for any student who engages in such act. She said the school would not tolerate indiscipline, urging the students to abstain from what could make them lose their admission.

She spoke last Friday at an orientation organised by the Mass Communication Students’ Association (MCSA) for the freshers.

She said punctuality and obedience remained were the cornerstone of their success, adding that the department was concerned about how students would get the best training to help them survive.
Ogwezzy, an associate professor of Mass Communication, said: “Let me emphasise that punctuality and class attendance are very highly required. If any student doesn’t have up to 65 per cent attendance, the university rule is that such a student won’t write the examination. Therefore, you must manage your time well.”

UNN Fire Victims get new hostels

The fire incident took place on December 23 when a two-storey female hostel went up in flame due to a power surge. No fewer than 32 rooms were razed and prosperity worth millions of naira destroyed.

Victims of the fire which gutted Okeke Hall of Residence at theUniversity of Nigeria,Nsukka (UNN) have now been reolocated to new hostels, TheNation reports.

The fire incident took place on December 23 when a two-storey female hostel went up in flame due to a power surge. No fewer than 32 rooms were razed and prosperity worth millions of naira destroyed.

Last week, the school management allocated alternative accommodation to the affected students

A statement by Dean, Students’ Affairs (DSA), Prof Peter Akah said the students were allotted bed space on first-come-first-served basis. The students, it added, presented their original online allocation papers and identity cards that enabled management to relocate them to Nkrumah Hall, Mary Slessor Hall and Zik’s Flat Hostel.

Ugochi Okechukwu, a 100-Level English and Literary Studies student, said management’s decision took them by surprise.

Her words: “The management has done its best by giving us another hostel. It is a good development we have been relocated. They did not leave us hanging around in the school, looking for accommodation and trying to pair room with friends. We are surprised by the school decision.”

While the fire victims have settle down in their new accommodation, some have urged the school to compensate them for their documents and properties lost in the inferno. A 300-Level Economics student, who identified herself as Adaeze, said allocation of new hostels to the fire victims was not enough to compensate the students.

She said: “Most of them had travelled when the incident happened, so they could not evacuate their properties while their rooms were being razed. I expected the school to compensate them, because some of them lost vital documents. The school should be commended for allocating new hostels to them, but I believe the students deserve more.”

Adeboye Pastor causes 100 undergraduates to renounce cultism

“I want those of you who have been deceived into joining any cult group to come forward and my God will set you free."

At the just concluded Campus Holy Ghost service, over 100 undergraduates of theUniversity of Ibadanand theObafemi Awolowo University, Ile Iferenounced cultism, Punch reports.
During preaching, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG lead pastor scolded students involved in cultism and encouraged them to come out of the congregation and give their lives to Christs.
“I want those of you who have been deceived into joining any cult group to come forward and my God will set you free.
“Come now, I want to pray for you, the Lord wants to set you free. Come and be free, come to the one who can set you free,” the pastor said.
Spokesperson of OAU,Abiodun Olanrewaju, however said that it is possible that not all the students who repented where from the University as students from other institution attended the service.
“Some students came from different higher institutions for the service. Some of them hearkened to the call of God made by Baba Adeboye.
“We are happy that youths of this country are renouncing cultism and embracing God. It shows that there is a bright future for this country. We are happy and I am sure the people of Nigeria are happy about this,” he said.

On its website, the institution writes, “At just 26 years of age, Romola has set a record in being the youngest person to obtain a Doctor of Laws degree (LLD) in the 30-year history of the Centre for Human Rights.
Furthermore, she is only the second youngest person to achieve this in the Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria since its establishment 107 years ago. She distinguished herself by completing the LLD in under 3 years.
This record is in keeping with a pattern of excellence which Romola has maintained since her undergraduate years at Lagos State University (LASU) where she was awarded the Taslim Olawale Elias Prize for the Best Student in International Law.

Romola’s relationship with the Centre for Human Rights began from her participation in the 2008 African Human Rights Moot Court Competition. In 2012, she was selected as a DAAD scholar to study for the LLM/MPhil degree in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa. She graduated cum laude, earning two awards: the Kéba M’Baye award for the overall Best Dissertation and the Victor Dankwa prize for the Best Performance in the module: Human Rights in Africa.
Her excellent record earned her admission to the Centre’s doctoral programme in 2013. Her thesis, supervised by Prof Frans Viljoen was titled Development-induced displacement in Africa: Striking a balance between the imperative of development and the rights of persons likely to be displaced. In her thesis, Romola analyzed the obligation in article 10 of the African Union Convention in relation to the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa. Her study, one of the first on this Convention, focused specifically on development-induced displacement which is one of the root causes of internal displacement in Africa.”

Reps walk UNILORIN VC out over frivolous spending

The House of Representatives Committee on Tertiary Education, on Thursday, refused to review the 2016 budget proposal of the University of Ilorin over what it described as over-spending and frivolous expenditure entered into by the university’s management in 2015 without adequate details.
Led by Rep. Aminu Suleiman, the Committee frowned at the action of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali for spending the sum of N42 million on hotel accommodation alone.
A member of the House Committee, Rep. Kehinde
Odeneye, while questioning Ambali, asked: “How could you have spent N42 million on expenses? How many days were spent at the hotels and who were the guests you hosted?
“Then is another N100 million for take-off grant for new departments without actually telling us how many they are and the things needed for the take-off. “N50 million on workshops and seminars.
This is apart from the training grants obtained.
Then, there’s maintenance of buildings, which also is without details”. Also, the committee expressed displeasure at a project of N49 million expended by the university on road culverts which did not have details of the project description in the documents presented to the committee.
The committee further cited another N60 million spent on environmental upgrading which it said lacked enough details.
In his defence, Abdulganiyu said the institution had a number of memorandum of understanding with many individuals who were important visitors to the university.
