How FG sustains NYSC for nation building – Jonathan

Lagos—In what sounded like a fare-well speech, President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, affirmed that his administration at the onset recognized the strength and vision of the youth, that was why it worked with urgency to help them define their path, through the sustenance of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, scheme.

Jonathan, who spoke at the swearing-in ceremony of 2015 Batch ‘A’ Stream I corps members, deployed to Lagos State, at the NYSC Orientation Camp, in Iyana-Ipaja, boasted that with the necessary appropriation, his government was committed to supporting the NYSC scheme, thus positioning it as a leading light of youth organizations in world.

Represented by Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, President Jonathan said in the past 42 years, the NYSC has remained a beacon of hope in the country’s mission for a united nation, stating that it has exposed millions of youths to the cultures and traditions of Nigeria’s pluralistic society.

Affirming that his administration has put in place many beneficial interventions, which have increased the skills, self-confidence and self-sufficiency available to the youth, Jonathan, however urged the incoming administration of Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to continue to support and encourage corps members by fulfilling it’s statutory obligations to the scheme.

This is even as he commended the corps members who were sworn in for the successful completion of their academic endeavours, calling on them to dedicate themselves with renewed vigour, conviction and commitment to the progress and development of the nation.

He said: “I am greatly pleased to address you today, our promising young men and women, on your induction into the 2015 Batch ‘A’ National Youth Service Corps set, deployed to the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
“I congratulate all members of this batch for the successful completion of your academic endeavours, and your patriotic response to National Youth Service to your fatherland.

“Your call-up to serve your country is a worthy acknowledgment of your  consistent dint of hard work, and obedience to constituted authority. I welcome you all to the larger Nigerian society where you will gradually begin to make your individual and collective contributions toward national growth and development.

Jonathan, who affirmed that the concluding story of the last general elections cannot be complete without the mention of corps members, commended them for discharging their electoral duties with diligence, transparency and patriotism.

Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA newly inaugurated student leaders have been advised by the Vice-Chancellor to be servant leaders in their comportment and service delivery.

The newly inaugurated leaders of the Students Union Executive of the Federal University of Technology Akure, FUTA, have been advised to be servant leaders in their comportment and service delivery. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adebiyi Daramola and Dean, Students’ Affairs, Dr. Kayode Alese gave this counsel at the swearing in ceremony recently held for the new leaders. In his address at the occasion, Professor Daramola who was represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor Development, Professor Tolulope Akinbogun admonished them to see leadership as a process by which a person influences others to accomplish set objectives and direct an organization in a way that makes it cohesive and coherent. “The underlying principles here are service, character and teamwork. Of greater importance is your character and the various choices of action or inaction you make while in office. Do not let your position get into your heads. You must be humble and approach every situation with maturity. The character you display during your tenure will show the kind of persons you are. Strive to serve others, even as you lead” he said.
Speaking on the challenges of leading, Daramola said “You must realize that your election as leaders of the Students’ Union will come with challenges. Note that your fellow students will not always agree with you, but you must work together with everyone in an open and cooperative manner to get things done”.
Professor Daramola also assured them of his administration’s readiness to impact leadership qualities in them. In view of this, he promised them local and international trainings as the culture of the University is. “We have consistently been sponsoring student leaders to attend leadership training programmes within and outside Nigeria for the past six years. I believe your administration will not be an exception. This is part of our resolve to take FUTA to a higher level of internationalization in scholarship and excellence” he said.

While speaking, Alese, popularly called Baba Ewe said “As leaders, the interest of the electorate must be of utmost priority. You must represent them and put aside personal gains. As leaders you must be up and doing. You must be responsible and exhibit leadership qualities at all times. You must be able to take decisions in the overall interest of not only the students’ populace but the entire University Community.”
Speaking further, Alese urged them to give the welfare of the electorate utmost priority and also abide by the rules guiding Studentship and Unionism. He also reminded them to avoid hooliganism because the University Management frowns at behaviour or actions that can project the University in bad light to the larger society.
Alese who also restated the open door policy of the Students Affairs Division, urged the students leaders to always intimate the University Management with their observations and challenges through his office. He promised prompt response to whatever issue raised. He also sternly warned them against students’ demonstration that can disrupt academic activities and elongate their stay on campus. “Avoid demonstration that can elongate your stay or even mar your future. Be responsible as future leaders. Management and staff are your parents, mentor, brothers and sisters. Relate freely with them because you have good lessons to learn from them” he added.
Alese also commended the University Management under the leadership of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Adebiyi Daramola for prompt and positive response to students’ issues. Commending the Vice-Chancellor, Alese said “Sir, let me on behalf of the students appreciate your Management Team under your able leadership for your contributions to the welfare and wellbeing of the students. It takes a visionary leader like you to do this. The students appreciate all you have done for them and are ready to partner with the Management for the success of the Institution. You are a man of your words because you have said on several occasions that the welfare of students is a great priority to your administration. Students are ready to key into your vision to achieve greater giant strides.”
In a response, President, FUTA Students Union, Fowobaje Oluwaseun said ”We shall stand to uphold and uplift the integrity of the Students Union by rebranding FUTA and also ensure peace and progress in running the affairs of this great institution. He expressed the gratitude of the executive and the entire students to the University Management, particularly the fatherly role of Professor Daramola and Dr. Alese and promise to have a hitch free administration. “Our mission is to build a better Union, to bring back respect to the Students Union, to change the perspective of students about Student Unionism” he concluded.

NUC to Screen Certificates Obtained Abroad Before NYSC

NUC and the Federal Ministry of Education to screen degrees obtained by Nigerian students who studied abroad before they go for NYSC.

The Federal Government has constituted a committee to screen certificates obtained by Nigerian students who studied abroad, says Prof. Julius Okojie, the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC).
Okojie made this known while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after the presentation of licences to two new private universities on Thursday in Abuja.
According to Okojie, the committee comprises members from the NUC and the Federal Ministry of Education.
“When they come for NYSC, they are referred to the Ministry of Education to look at the quality of their certificates.

“Recently, the ministry decided to set up a joint committee of NUC and the Federal Ministry of Education to look at the quality of those certificates; the committee has been set up but it has not been inaugurated.

“In Ukraine, where we have many of our students for instance, it is not that all the universities are bad; some are really good but it depends on which one.

“Some of our students who attended universities in Ukraine pass through the UK and get a second degree; in some countries, you can buy a certificate in the airport.’’

He said that mere knowing that a foreign university was approved was not enough as the programme pursued by a student might not be approved.

The NUC boss had earlier expressed concern over the quality of universities Nigerian students attend in the West African sub-region, especially in Ghana.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the universities that got provisional licences are Edwin Clark University, Kaigbodo, Delta State, and Hezekiah University, Umudi, Imo State. (NAN)

Academic activity crippled as UI students protest death of colleague

The death of a first class 200 level student of Human Kinetic of the University of Ibadan, UI, identified as Mayowa Alaran yesterday led to a peaceful protest by students of the institution.

Alaran was said to have given up the ghost at the institution’s health centre at about 8:30pm yesterday after medical personnel refused to attend to him because those who took him to the clinic could not produce his clinic card.

The angry student in the course of the demonstration barricaded all entrances into the institution, and the expressway at Agbowo, thereby causing a gridlock.
According to the protesting students, the deceased at about 8pm slumped and started gasping for air while watching Barcelona versus Bayern Munich Champions League clash at India Hall, a female hostel situated in the institution.

They further added that when Mayowa slumped, students around called the university health centre to send ambulance over but they declined, stating that the only ambulance the centre has was indisposed.

One of the protesting student noted, “The medical students on ground tried their best. They gave him mouth to mouth respiration to resuscitate him to no avail.

Eventually, we carried him straight to the hospital. On getting to the hospital, a staff on duty did not accept him, asking the sick person who could not talk to produce his clinic card or tell them his matriculation number. About thirty minutes after, the boy gave up the ghost.”

While addressing journalist, the SUG President, Femi Odesola said, Mayowa died before getting to the health centre, hence leading to a violent protest by students around him.

The students have however argued that the SUG president usually betray them when it comes to responding to the plights of the students.

They also stressed the need for the Vice Chancellor, Professor Isaac Adewole to punish the staff who refused to attend to Mayowa, while demanding that, “ambulances be provided in all hall of residence as well as constant power supply.”

EFCC Arraigns 2 MAPOLY Students for $4500 Facebook Scam

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned 17 year old Ojosipe Adedayo and his 24-year old accomplice Owolabi Ahmed before Justice Atinuke Ipaye of a Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja on charges of fraud and obtaining under false pretences.
The prosecutor, Emmanuel Jackson said Adedayo, a HND II student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun State, an indigene of Alowonle Adigbe, Abeokuta, Ogun State duped one Adam Denborsky, an American citizen, of the sum of $2000 while pretending to be Marty Jason, a 30-year-old from Pennsylvania, USA.
Part of the charge reads, “Ojosipe a.k.a Marty Jason and Candice, on or about May 8, 2014 in Lagos had in your possession a document in which you represented yourself to be a single lady called Candice from Trenton, New Jersey, United States, who helps the needy to organise charity concerts and also help the homeless to get funds for Motherless Babies Home, which representations you knew to be false.”
Adedayo, who met his victim on Facebook, allegedly confessed to have received the money through Western Union and used the money to buy clothes and a phone.
On the other hand, Owolabi Ahmed, a.k.a Candice Skye, an HND II Electrical and Electronics student of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun State was arraigned on three count charge of fraud for allegedly posing as an orphaned single girl, Candice Skye, from the United States.
Ahmed reportedly pretended to be a gemstone dealer in need of $2500 to facilitate the clearing of her goods with the Customs.
The prosecutor, Emmanuel Jackson said the offence is contrary to Section 6,8(b) and 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act NO 14 of 2006.
Both Adedayo and Ahmed pleaded not guilty and Justice Ipaye remanded them in prison custody and adjourned hearing of their bail application till the 21 of May, 2015.

Stakeholders Want Buhari to Address Varsity/Poly Dichotomy

The present arrangement where university graduates are rated above polytechnic graduates is not healthy.’
Stakeholders in the education sector charged President-Elect, Gen. Mohamadu Buhari (Rtd) to address the dichotomy between university and polytechnic education in the country. Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Osun State, Rector, Dr. Jacob Olusoji Agboola, argued that skills acquired in polytechnics are far better than that of universities.
Agboola further said that the type of education and skills acquired from the polytechnics are superior to that of university education, said polytechnic education makes its graduands independent and self reliant.
According to him “polytechnic education is for job creation and not job seeking. It prepares students to be self-reliant rather than be job seekers.” It will be recalled that the Committee on the Social Sector of the National Conference held in Abuja had recommended the removal of the dichotomy on university/polytechnic graduates. The recommendation was made during plenary at the conference by the Chairman of the Committee, Iyom Josephine Anenih while presenting the report of the committee.
Anenih urged the Federal Government to remove the dichotomy in order to restore dignity in our tertiary education. According to him, tertiary education in Nigeria is provided by colleges of education, polytechnics, monotechnics, vocational enterprise institutions and universities established by federal and state governments as well as private organisations.
He said: “Despite the number and variety of tertiary institutions, admission challenges are huge and seem to be perennial.
Each type of institution therefore has different mandates in terms of preparing graduates for society. Given this understanding, both institutions should be adequately equipped and funded to achieve their goals.” Reacting to the recommendation, delegate representing Ondo State, Professor Femi Mimiko while opposing the removal of the dichotomy warned the Committee against posing a wrong question, saying that what is important is making sure each perfects what it is set out to achieve as they have different purposes and objectives. He stressed the need for adequate funding of the educational system.
Stakeholders are still waiting for Buhari’s administration to implement the committee’s National Conference on this issue. Meanwhile, speaking on the number of students matriculated, the rector gave the number as 2,800 and warned them to shun any form of anti-social activities which he said could ruin their future. Agboola also advised them against other vices that could bring disrepute to the institution or that could prolong their academic pursuits on the campus. (Vanguard)

OAU Student Wants Buhari to Reverse Fees In Higher Institutions

Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU students’ union president urged Buhari to reverse education fees in higher institutions.
The President, Students Union Government of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Mr Omotoyo Akande, charged the in-coming president, Major General Mohammadu Buhari, to reverse school fees in tertiary institutions and ensure proper funding of education.
Akande made the call on Wednesday when he paid a visit to the Osogbo office of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) to establish a relationship as he was set to take the leadership mantle of Student Union Government (SUG) of OAU.
“These new executive has the mission to establish a good relationship with the media, not to gain popularity but to publicize our position on national issues and issues affecting the students in the institution,’’ Akande said.
He said the in-coming federal administration should embark on policies that would change the old policies on education from 1999 to date, saying “this is a litmus test for the new administration’’.
According to him, the university authorities have consistently been increasing school fees, thereby making life unbearable for students and parents.
The student president said funding of education should be given priority over other sectors, describing it as the bedrock of development of the country.
He called on the president-elect to address immediately the issue of graduate unemployment in the country and make use of abundant human and natural resources wasting away in the country for its economic growth.
“Students voted the president-elect not because of his stature but because of his principle and credibility in the past, as a former Head of State.
“We believe his coming in at this time will be a panacea to scores of socio-economic problems bedeveiling the country under the rulership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the past 16 years of democracy,” he said.
In his remark, the State Correspondent of NAN, Mr Tola Okinbaloye, commended the students for seeing the agency as a friend that could assist in disseminating information about them and the education sector.
Okinbaloye, who advised the student union to ensure impartation of morals into students, also advised them to sustain a position of non-cultism in OAU.
He urged them to focus in pursuing their education, vision and mission as student leaders.
He assured the students of the agency’s support in the areas of publicity.(NAN)

Following the announcement made by the Special Adviser to the state governor, Babatunde Fashola, on Education, Otunba Fatai Olukoga, saying that the reason for the continued closure of the Lagos State University (LASU) was the inability of the parties involved in the crisis-staffs, students and the school management, to reach peaceful agreement, the students’ union leader reacted that the allegation levied against them was erroneous, declaring they have never been part of the crisis that led to the continued closure of the school.
