FUTA Adopts E-Voting for the 2016 Students Union Election

Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA adopts electronic voting system for the 2015 / 2016 academic session Students Union election.
Election into various positions of the Students Union for the 2015 / 2016 academic session at the Federal University of Technology, Akure took a new dimension with the adoption of electronic voting system. The election which held at the Digital Resource Centre of the University on Thursday February 18, 2016 saw students vote candidates of their choice to various positions just by a click on the computer. Their identity cards was verified through a purposely designed card reader after which the voter proceeded to the voting area where they interfaced with programmed computers to cast their votes. After each vote a monitor at the control Centre recorded it and instantaneous tally of contestants score was displayed. The final result was ready as soon as the last student clicked on the computer to register his vote.
Dean, Students’ Affairs, Professor Kayode Alese said what informed the adoption of electronic voting system was because the University needed to showcase its leadership position in the area of cutting edge technology and research. According to him the process was very effective and an improvement on what other Institutions had done in the area of electronic voting. “Though other Institutions have adopted the process, ours is very unique because we made use of card readers. FUTA is the only Institution to have used card readers and we did not record any failure because we designed it in such a way that the contestant registered online and we have the record of registered students of this University”.
Speaking further, he said registered students on the University data base were the only ones allowed to vote thus any unregistered student could not vote as the card reader would have screened them out. “If you don’t have a valid identity card and your name is not on our data base you cannot vote” Alese stated. The don said that FUTA alumni designed the software adopted for the election at no cost. The card readers were customized for the purpose of the election.
Corroborating Alese, Chairman, Electoral Committee, Dr. Olutola Olubanjo commended the electoral process, saying the use of card readers really made the election process free and fair. It has also justified the University’s leadership position in technological advancement. Olubanjo said from start to finish, everything was electronic. “Students were accredited electronically through the use of card readers. Thereafter they proceeded to the voting proper using the computer which displayed the process to the candidates’ agents and security agents’. According to him, “It is a positive departure from the cumbersome old system of pen and paper. In fact it is innovative because no election in Nigeria has been done electronically. We commend management for this and suggest the adoption of the process for subsequent elections like Congregation and elections into offices in the Cooperative Societies”. Agents of the contestants expressed their satisfaction with the process which they claimed was a plus to the University. They also appreciated the management and the electoral committee for the innovation.
The Vice Chancellor Professor Adebiyi Daramola commended the electoral committee and the Students Affairs division for the adoption of the e voting system saying the University has once again validated its leading position in innovation and workable technology that the larger Nigerian society can benefit from.

UNIJOS Female Student Strangled To Death By Her Lover For Ignoring Him On Valentine’s Day

Melancholy report reaching 9ja School Gist Team has it that, a student of Psychology department, University of Jos, has been reportedly killed by a man believed to be her lover, for purportedly turning down his Valentine Day’s outing invitation.
The deceases simply identified as Miss Zakariah Nanchin was allegedly strangled to death by her lover, one Badung David Dele on Monday, the day after Valentine at her Angwa Rukuba apartment in Jos.
A source, close to the duo, said they have been in an intimate relationship for quite some time until a misunderstanding set in shortly before the last Valentine day.
According to The Nation, Dele was said to have reached out to Nanchin apparently to settle their differences and invited her out for Valentine. The deceased reportedly declined the invitation.
Nanchin allegedly felt that there was no basis for any dating between them having parted for some time.
Dele was said to have stormed Nanchin’s apartment the following morning and demanded an explanation why she failed to make the outing.
He reportedly grabbed her by the neck and strangled her to death after which he left the apartment and reportedly told a neighbour he met outside that he wanted to go and get some medicine for his ‘ill’ friend.
He was said to have given his phone number to the neighbour, a woman, and asked her to call him in case of any emergency.
Reports say the woman perceived something fishy had transpired, so she proceeded to Nanchin’s room only to find her lying down on her bed unconscious.
The woman, simply identified as Mama Joy, said “I called her name but she did not respond so I moved closer and I discovered that she was dead.
“I ran out, screaming to alert the people around.
“I was shocked that the boy managed to kill this girl without a gun.
“There was no blood on her body,” Mama Joy added.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Abu Emmanuel, said Badung was arrested on the same day.
“After some interrogation, he confessed to have committed the crime.
“We are making necessary arrangements to arraign him in court soon.”
Emmanuel called out to ladies, cautioning them to be careful who they date.
“Some of these boys are criminals and you might ignorantly fall into their hands like this girl,” the PPRO said, adding that the body of the deceased had been transferred from Bingham University Teaching Hospital to the Jos University Teaching Hospital JUTH for autopsy and relevant action.
