UNIPORT Rank 1st In Nigeria, 6th In Africa

The University of Port Harcourt has been ranked the sixth in Africa and the first in Nigeria by Times Higher Education (THE), a United Kingdom-based authoritative source for information about higher education.
Placed behind four South African universities and one Ugandan university, UniPort made the cut following the number of papers presented over a period of time.
In this chart by world’s most trusted rankings provider, THE, it reveals the first glimpse of future Africa University Rankings.
“The university rankings provider has revealed the top 15 universities in the region, based solely on their scores for research influence – in other words, how much African universities’ research papers are referred to and cited by other academics across the globe,” THE said in a statement.
The research institute noted that: “To be included in this future-gazing table, an institution must have published a minimum of 500 research papers in the five year period assessed with at least 50 papers per year,” it said.
University of Port Harcourt was the only Nigerian university ranked in the top 15. The full table, which contains the top 30 universities in Africa, will be revealed at the inaugural Times Higher Education Africa Universities Summit, which is billed to take place on 30th and 31st July at the University of Johannesburg.
“As the first major public consultation on the future THE Africa University Rankings, academic leaders and opinion formers will discuss plans for a full and comprehensive ranking for the region.
“This new ranking will be based on Times Higher Education’s respected World University Rankings, but shaped following this initial meeting by bespoke metrics designed to meet the region’s specific challenges.
“Times Higher Education is therefore calling for opinion formers from across the region to attend the Summit, founded with University of Johannesburg, to take part in the debate and help shape the future of university rankings in Africa.
“To attend the Summit, delegates should register at: www.theworldsummitseries.com/aus2 015
The ‘snapshot’ table, based on just one of THE’s five respected World University Rankings criteria – research influence, gives a good indication of what a full university ranking might look like for Africa and sees two South African institutions – the University of Cape Town and the University of Witwatersrand – take first and second place respectively.

JAMB Cancel New Admission Policy

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has cancel its new policy adopted on July 14 to re-signed candidates to universities.
JAMB’s Public Relation Officer, Mr. Benjamin Fabian who promulgate this to 9ja School Gist said: ”Candidates should go and write the post-UTME in their institutions of first choices.”
He, however noted that after the post-UTME in their universities of first choice, if necessary, JAMB is still going to redistribute them.

He said: “When they write the post-UTME in the schools of their first choices, they may wish to consider the other places we have taken them to for admissions.
”The reason is that if they don’t get admission in their first choices institution, they will get in the second.”

He explained that JAMB’s effort in redistributing candidates was only geared towards helping candidates of over-subscribed institutions gain admission to other federal or state universities rather than wasting their scores.
You will recalled that JAMB had last week announced its new policy to redistributes candidates to universities other than their first choice.

The development which generated sharp criticism from stakeholders almost paralysed some of the most sought after universities in the country.

"So if the standards were lower they would not be able to compete with their peers where they are now. So, to me it is a relative term because the standard in not falling to me.
"We have a lot of room to improve; for example, we need to improve the quality of our teachers especially at the primary and secondary school levels.
"I have been saying this; it is whatever we harvest at those levels especially the secondary school level that comes to the university and in the university you can do minimum modelling to shape them into what the country wants."
Ambali, therefore, state governments to invest more on secondary education in view of its position as the bridge between basic and tertiary education.
He said: "Students should have better classrooms; they should have better teachers and better learning environment because it is the products of these three issues that make up a good candidate for the next level.
"For example, if the classrooms are crowded; if there are no teaching facilities in the classroom; no teaching aids in the classroom; no enough materials to carry out the necessary practical, then the quality of education will become questionable.
"If the teachers are not well paid; they are not well mobilised; they cannot concentrate on their primary assignments."
On the issue of the cut-off mark for admission into Nigerian universities, Ambali said 180 had been pegged as minimum score required of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) candidates.

He said though some universities were under pressure to offer admission to candidates, each university could still fix a score in conformity with its own standard to enable them to get the best applicants.
According to him, JAMB’s minimum cut-off mark for Medicine is between 230 and 235, but individual universities are at liberty to conduct post-JAMB screening to get the best of the candidates.

In Edo... WAEC in trouble as APC, PDP fight over 'fake certificates'

source: Pulse.ng

A bench warrant has been issued on theWest Africa Examination Council(WAEC) for its failure to appear before the Edo State Election Petitions Tribunal.
The examination body had ignored an earlier summons from the Tribunal, headed by Justice S. Anjo, to testify in a suit involving thePeoples Democratic Party(PDP) candidate for Oredo East constituency,Okoro Osadebamwen, andOsagboivo Iyohaof theAll Progressives Congress(APC).
According to a PM News report, Osadebamwen had filed a suit claiming that the certificates from primary to university degree presented by Iyoha, leading to his eventual victory at the polls, were all fake due to some discrepancies in the names.
But the defendant claimed his certificates were all genuine
He argued that the names in all the certificates, including Tony which was his baptismal name, belonged to him.
WAEC had been summoned to enable the defendants close their case.
Counsel to the defendant. Barrister Eghogho Enahoro, told the Tribunal that the examination body had collected the subpoena and should therefore have been in court.
Counsel to Okoro, Solomon Odiase, however argued that WAEC's failure to appear is a ploy by the defendant to delay justice before the expiration of the 180 days provided in the Electoral Act.
The three-man panel then issued a bench warrant requiring WAEC to appear before it

Edeh's Ark Madonna University builds 'Nigeria's longest exam hall'

A new examination hall constructed at theMadonna University, Okija Anambra state, has been touted as the largest and longest in Nigeria.
Student Pulse gathered from reports that the hall was named 'Edeh's Ark', an allusion to the Biblical Noah's ark and the name of the institution’s Chancellor, Rev.Emmanuel Matthew Paul Edeh.
The hall is so long that it is almost impossible to see the back end from the front end.
A student of the institution who spoke toLinda Ikejisaid the school management hoped to tackle examination malpractice with the record breaking hall.
"The idea is that several exams will hold at the same time," the student said.
"If you are to write an exam in this hall, OYO is your case as students from different levels are made to sit side-by-side.
Madonna University is a private university founded in 1999 E.M.P. Edeh, an Igbo Nigerian Catholic priest.

University of Abuja UNIABUJA certificates are being forged in Abuja — VC

Fake certificates of theUniversity of Abuja(UNIABUJA) are being forged in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) says the institution’s Vice Chancellor,Michael Adikwu.

According to reports, the Vice Chancellor made the revelation at a forum of theNews Agency of Nigeria(NAN) in Abuja.

"Some of our certificates, I am aware, are being forged in the Federal Capital Territory here," Adikwu said.

"You see somebody with a second class lower in his or her statement of result, but when you check the real certificate its third class you will see."

He said the management has signed contracts with a British firm to produce certificates with security features that will prevent forgery.

"So, we decided that we will screen all certificates and get them ready and we have signed an agreement with a British company to produce certificates that have a lot of security features on it," the Vice Chancellor said.

"Once you look at it, it looks normal, but if you pass it through ultraviolet light, you will find out that a lot of features - up to seven - are on it."

Adikwu revealed that the institution is set to hold its first convocation in six years.

Cut-Off Marks: SERAP Drags JAMB, Unilag To Court

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) on Monday dragged the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and authorities of the University of Lagos to court over their implementation of largely ‘unacceptable’ cut-off marks regime.
Recall that JAMB had fixed cut-off marks for university admission at 180, yet Unilag authorities said students must score nothing lower than 250.
SERAP has therefore taken the two bodies to the a Federal High Court.
The suit number FHC/L/CS/1139/2015 filed Monday at the federal high court by Adetokunbo Mumuni on behalf of SERAP and three applicants affected by the cut-off marks decision, the applicants contend that “the provisions of section 5(1)(c)(iii) of the jamb act are very clear and unambiguous. 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).”
The three other applicants are: Adeola Hammed Ayobami; Abass Ololade; and Abass Ajibola. The respondents in the suit apart from jamb and Unilag are: the permanent secretary, federal ministry of justice and the permanent secretary, ministry of education.
The organization is seeking a declaration that the decision by the respondents individually and/or collectively to increase the cut-off point to 250 after stating publicly that it would be 180 interferes with the choices and preferences of the 2nd-4th applicants and several other candidates across the country and therefore directly violates section 5(1)(c)(iii) of the jamb act cap 193 of the laws of the federation
It also seeks a declaration that the cut-off point of 180 set by JAMB cannot be varied by any university in the country including Unilag as doing so would offend the provisions of section 5(1)(c)(iii) of the jamb act cap 193 of the laws of the federation
Other reliefs are: “A declaration that the decision by the respondents individually and/or collectively to increase the cut-off point to 250 after stating publicly that it would be 180 interferes with the choices and preferences of the 2nd-4th applicants and several other candidates across the country and therefore directly violates sections 34 and 39 of the 1999 constitution (as amended) which respectively guarantee to everyone the right to the dignity of human person and the right to receive and impact ideas
“A declaration that the decision by the respondents individually and/or collectively to increase the cut-off point to 250 after stating publicly that it would be 180 interferes with the choices and preferences of the 2nd-4th applicants and several other candidates across the country and therefore directly violates articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 of the African charter on human and peoples’ rights as contained in the laws of the federation
“A declaration that the decision by the respondents individually and/or collectively to increase the cut-off point to 250 after stating publicly that it would be 180 interferes with the choices and preferences of the 2nd-4th applicants and several other candidates across the country and therefore unreasonable, unfair and unjust as it failed to take into account the best interest of the applicants and several other candidates, as children
“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.
“Further or other reliefs as the honorable court deems fit in the circumstance.”
Date for hearing the suit is yet to be fixed.

Students Bicker Over Suspension Of Free Education

Students’ from the Kano State Polytechnic were disillusioned after resuming for the new academic session, only to discover that they have to pay all monies pertaining to registration and other ancillary requests by the management of their respective schools.

Last year, the then State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso declared that education from Primary to University level had become free, a feat that earned him respect and adoration from students and their guardians.

However, no sooner he left, the new administration in the state is seem to have reviewed that policy as each student is now at the mercy of parents/guardian for the payment of all fees at school.
The students complained bitterly and accused the rector, Professor Dalhatu Mohammed Galadanci, of misleading the new Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to suspend the policy that is assisting the indigent to pursue life time ambition.
Efforts to speak with the rector were unsuccessful.

Students are now paying over 15000 naira, while non-indigenes studying in the polytechnic are charged from 40,000 to 60,000 Naira, depending on the choice of a program a student is pursuing.
