Fresh students admitted to various programmes of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA have been admonished to engage in rigorous academic activities and abide by the rules and regulations of the institution in order to have a successful and memorable stay in the University.
The Vice Chancellor, Professor Adebiyi Daramola gave the advice during the 33rd Matriculation Ceremony for the undergraduate students admitted for the 2015/2016 academic session.
The Vice-Chancellor urged the students to be serious with their studies, as the matriculation is just the first step albeit a critical one that will ensure a successful academic sojourn. He also counseled the students to be worthy ambassadors of the institution through words and deeds.
He stated that “The primary reason for coming to the University is to acquire knowledge and requisite skills through intensive training and mentorship by your lecturers and other members of the University”.
Speaking further the Vice-Chancellor implored the students to look to lecturers as role models and mentors and to refer all challenges they may encounter to the Students Affairs’ Division in case of any difficulty requiring counseling and interaction.
He assured the students that FUTA will continue to sustain its tradition of excellence in academic research and peaceful learning atmosphere as well as the character training of students.

What's the excess of having high score in JAMB and also in post-UTME?

"Having high score doesn't mean you would be admitted to your choice of institution. Why are we being deprived of our right to education just because of corruption?
"I thought at first that the University of Ilorin stands out of other institutions because it doesn't cheat.
"Imagine an aspirant that studied all day and night just to pass JAMB, and fortunately, she did pass, same as for the post-UTME, and she is now waiting for the admission list.
"She hoped that if truly the first batch would be based on the merit list, her name would be included. But it isn't.

"The question now is: is that truly a merit list? Because I see no reason why an aspirant with 72% in the post-UTME would not be offered admission.

"Hoping that everything would be fine, she waited again for the second list to be released. Again, this aspirant's name wasn't on the list.
"And when those in charge of the admission process were asked why, their response was: "The girl has a case with them". What case an aspirant that hasn't been offered admission could have? Why are the poor always deprived of their rights, especially in the education field?"

BOMBSHELL!!! Buhari Received N850M Through His PA’s Access Bank Account No 0045586381 – DasukiGate

A new twist to the ongoing investigation of the $2.1bn arms contract scandal may soon unfold as associates of the embattled former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki have revealed President Mohammadu Buhari got a sum of N850 million through his Personal Assistant, Sabi’u Yusuf.

They asked; “How did his nephew who has never worked in his life accumulate over N850 million in his bank account (0045586381) in a new generation bank?”
Our investigation revealed that the account number 0045586381 is domiciled in Access Bank and is owned by Sabi’u Yusuf.
Dasuki’s associates had threatened to make public a proof that those denying to have benefitted from the money actually collected the amounts ticked against their names.

They said it was shocking that some politicians would deny ever having anything to do with the ex- NSA and his office when there is a record to show that they received the money.

Addressing some newsmen on Saturday, three of Dasuki’s friends and associates claimed that they were prepared to build up graphic cases against those denying receiving either material or cash gifts from the former NSA.
The associates, who pleaded for anonymity, said that apart from a comprehensive subpoena of indi­viduals and their proxies, who received financial and material gifts but have turned round to deny ever doing so, said they were considering releasing re­corded video of all transac­tions.

“Some people are shamelessly telling in­defensible lies. We have witnesses and recordings of these visits. A man re­ceived two retired army of­ficers in his private sitting room, called his nephew to collect the bag and would thereafter say he saw nothing, heard nothing. This is very laughable.

“Let them cover what they think they could, and we would certainly spill the beans for Nigerians to see their hypocrisy.
“All of us would meet in court. But before then if they keep denying, we would release some clips on both YouTube and other forms of social media for the world to see their nakedness,” the one of the associates who led media interaction said.

Dasuki and some prominent Nigerians including Chairman of Daar Com­munications Plc, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, former governor of Sokoto state, Alhaji Attahiru Ba­farawa are facing trial over their alleged involvement in the arms contracts funds bazaar.

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Mobil Producing Nigeria (MPN) Unlimited, an ExxonMobil affiliate and operator of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)/MPN Joint Venture has funded the upgrading of facilities at chemistry laboratory of Rimi College Kaduna.
The joint venture worked in partnership with a nongovernmental organization, Community Health Empowerment Foundation (CHEF), to reconstruct the laboratory and improve the environment for the study of Chemistry subject through the provision of a well-furnished workroom.
The project which cost about N6 million covers the refurbishment of the dilapidated laboratory and installation of essential cutting-edge equipment such as island benches, distillers, voltmeters, PH meters, hydraulic stools, and varieties of chemicals.
In his remarks at the handing over ceremony of the facilities to Rimi College authorities in Kaduna, the Government & Business Relations Manager of Mobil Producing Nigeria, Nigel Cookey-Gam, said the gesture is part of the corporate social responsibility of the Mobile.
“The procurement, installation and upgrading of facilities in chemistry laboratory of Rimi College Kaduna is an initiative that is part of Mobil Producing Nigeria’s corporate citizenship outreach and it also exemplifies the NNPC/MPN joint ventures and social investment in Nigeria, especially in the area of education. The project followed a need identification/assessment research carried out by Community Health Empowerment Foundation (CHEF) which was subsequently complemented by a series of advocacy sessions with the school authorities and other relevant stakeholders. Our expectation is that this investment will enhance the quality of teaching and lead to improvement in external examinations on the subject of chemistry in Rimi College,” he said.
Cookey-Gam also noted that ExxonMobil affiliates in Nigeria commit more than $10 million annually to sustainable, long-term development initiatives in the country, adding that through partnerships with local and international nongovernmental organizations, the affiliates invest in citizenship initiatives that positively affect the lives of thousands of Nigerians.
The Executive Director of CHEF, Dr. Ernest Nwokolo, said he is hopeful that the project will not only bolster the performance of the chemistry students in Rimi College and other surrounding schools that make use of the laboratory, but also stimulate other corporate and private organizations towards supporting the efforts of governments in improving the educational system.

“The chemistry equipment donated to Rimi College Kaduna by Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited are not only the latest but the best you can find anywhere in the world. Indeed everything supplied and installed by Mobil are superb and excellent. Science education encompasses subjects like biology, physics which if put t together with chemistry will further make the students well grounded for the challenges ahead in the physical chemical and applied sciences. The school community shall ever be grateful for this kind gesture and we are looking forward for other old boys or interested groups and individuals emulating the precedence set by Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited,” he said.‎
Alhaji Zailani commended Kaduna State Government for its efforts in the development of education through well thought out programmes and policies which include free education for primary and secondary schools, provision of text books, uniforms and seats, renovation of blocks of class rooms, and recruitment of science teachers

5 Things a Strong And Successful Woman Needs From Her Man

 A really strong and successful woman is definitely getting some directions from her man, this support from him creates a secure bond where love can grow and be maintained
Behind every successful man is a woman and this also same for any successful woman. Doesn’t matter how much we hear about feminism these days.
A really strong and successful woman is definitely getting some directions from her man. This support from him creates a secure bond where love can grow and be maintained.
Inspired by Your Tango here are 5 ways strong and successful women can be loved by their men:
1. Support her.Make her know she never has to stand alone. It may look like she doen’t need your help but asking her what you can do will ease the burden off her shoulder.
2. Support yourself.Don’t rely on her to do everything for you. Make her know that you’ve got this, it doesn’t means she shouldn’t help but she must see you as her support system always.
3. Don’t force her to choose between you and her dream.Don’t try to change her or thwart her successes. Your relationship never has to be a power tussle between both of you. Don’t make her give up her dreams because of you, that’ll will changer her faster than anything else.
4. Respect her and her opinions.Admire her knowledge, acknowledge her ideas. She needs all the respect and admiration from you.
5. Be part of the decision making.Don’t make her take all the decisions. From the small to the big ones, don’t act like you don’t care, she’ll trust you better when you think things through with her.
