NOUN Varsity accuses NYSC of discrimination The VC lamented the discrimination of its graduates by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the Nigerian Law School.

Authorities at the National Open University (NOUN) has accused the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and the Nigerian Law School of discrimination against their graduating students, Leadership reports.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof Vincent Ado Tenebe at the 5th Annual Convocation ceremony, said that the graduates of the school are not given equal opportunities with fellow graduates from other institutions to participate in the NYSC.

He also added that the law students are barred from attending the Nigerian law school. 

Tenebe said an internet search shows that there are 59 open universities in countries throughout the world and there is no evidence that graduates of their open universities are treated differently from the graduates of their traditional regular universities.

The VC therefore called on the appropriate agencies responsible for NYSC and legal education in the country, to reconsider their positions, especially against the background of the “latest results of University Rankings” by Webometrics which placed NOUN as number 23 out of the “100 Best Universities in Nigeria for 2015.”

Buhari President expresses concern on ranking of universities

He blamed incessant strikes by teachers as ``major bottlenecks to progress of the country's university system’’.

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed concern over low ranking of the country’s universities. The president expressed the concern on Saturday in Bauchi at the 19th to 22nd convocation ceremony of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi. Represented by Prof. Julius Okojie, Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, he said that ``it is worrisome that no Nigerian university is quoted among the top 100 universities in the world.

``We rank below a thousand, if we do not aspire to be among the world class universities, we cannot boast of robust system capable of making the country among the top economies of the world.

``We have abundance of talents who excel elsewhere but appear incapacitated at home. This is unacceptable.

``Whatever makes our abundant talents fail at home and excel abroad must be identified and neutralised for our benefit and that of our future generation,’’ Buhari said.

He blamed incessant strikes by teachers as ``major bottlenecks to progress of the country's university system’’.

``The repercussions of strike usually retard the smooth running of academic activities with heavy negative consequences’’. The president called on the state governments to support and encourage universities situated in their states because they were responsible for harnessing local talents and promotion of local innovations. He observed that the Treasury Single Account policy was meant to enhance accountability, transparency and revenue.

``The seemingly challenges especially in tertiary institutions should be seen as a teething problem that will gradually vanish as the policy takes roots.

``MDAs should, therefore, exhibit patience and understanding, bearing in mind that Nigerians shall surely reap from the fruits of the policy,’’ he said.

Oba Rufus Aladesanmi, Chancellor of the institution, urged the graduating students to explore ways of self employment. Aladesanmi further urged them to contribute to the technological and economic development of the country.

He observed that in spite of large number of students that applies for admission, few were being admitted due to few facilities.

The chancellor called on stakeholders to urgently find both short and long term solutions to the problem. Prof. Saminu Ibrahim, Vice-Chancellor of the institution, said that the institution was graduating 8,127 students for its 19th and 22nd convocation.

He explained that the figure included 845 diplomas, 5,577 first degrees, 1,620 post-graduate diplomas and Masters and 85 students as Doctors of Philosophy (Ph.D).

Ibrahim further explained that out of the 5,577 first degree graduates, 32 obtained First Class, 1,203 Second Class (Upper Division) 2,702 Second Class (Lower Division), 1,481 Third Class and136 Pass.

On achievements made by the institution, Ibrahim said that 40 academic staff members had obtained PhD. degrees worldwide while many others were pursuing their Masters degrees.

He said that the institution was constructing six news hostels and renovating the existing ones as parts of students’ welfare package.

Female Corper Escapes Being Used For Money Rituals

Last Wednesday, January 20, at Eteo, in Eleme area of Rivers State, a said said he saw people gathered round a car. On getting close he saw a Corper on handcuffs, and some men being questioned.
Here's the story of what happened as told by the Corper:
She boarded a taxi to her PPA, on reaching her destination she gave the driver One thousand naira (N1000) only for the driver to accuse her of paying with a counterfeit naira note. She denied it, but one of the passenger then claimed to be a Police Officer concurred with the driver.
The man brought out handcuffs and cuffed the Corper, claiming they are taking her to police station.
Luckily for her, a passerby saw what was happening and raised an alarm, which prompted the youth of the area to come out.
After so much argument, the youths insisted on searching the driver, only to find more counterfeit notes on him. The other passengers tried to escape including the fake police officer, but were caught by the youth.
The female corper was rescued from them and the man were handed over to police.
They have confessed and are making useful statements to the police about this new trick of using people for rituals.
We all should be careful, especially corpers who are new to the area they are posted and are vulnerable.

NYSC Foundation moves to recover over N14.8m debts

ABUJA–The National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) Foundation has said it had become imperative for it to recover over N14.8 million debts, arising from soft loans granted ex-corps members over the years, for it to fulfill its purpose.
The foundation established in 2008 was a voluntary organisation that could be joined by any ex-corps members with N500 registration fees to have access to soft loan, if they have marketable business plan.
The Executive Secretary of the foundation, Mr. Adebanjo Akinnigbagbe, said that the only way to keep the loan facility alive was to recover the debts owed by beneficiaries which according to him, was taken from a revolving loan.
Akinnigbagbe, who disclosed this at the 2016 Desk Officers Workshop held in Abuja, charged desk officers to assist them in monitoring the beneficiaries to respect the agreement they had with the foundation.
His words; “In view of a great sore the foundation has, I want to remind the old desk officers and inform the new ones about a decision taken at our last meeting in 2013. This is the effect that desk Officers should assist in monitoring our loan beneficiaries who, as at today, owe us N14,808,000.00.
“This assignment has become even more relevant and of great importance to the foundation today because it is the money taken from a revolving loan and in order for the purpose it is serving not to collapse, those owing us should be visited and made to fulfill their obligation by paying up.”
The Chairman Board of trustees, NYSC Foundation, Mr. Abubakar Abdullah expressed their readiness to continue the soft loan facility, in spite of low demand.
He noted that only N6 million out of the sum of N10 million set aside as loan for beneficiaries was utilized so far.
“We still have that four million remaining, the board has not met to decide how much we are going to add but at worst we have something from last year and we will add another for this year.”
The NYSC Director of Corps Mobilisation, Mr Anthony Ani has called for partnership from organisations to aid NYSC in achieving its mandates.
“More than any other time this is when NYSC needs help because the population of corps members coming in is increasing by the day and government cannot do everything especially now that the resources of government is dwindling.
“This is the time we need serious partnership not just with the foundation but with any organisation that can help NYSC,” he said.

25-Year-Old Girl Who Just Returned From UK Killed By Danfo Driver In Lagos

Ken Davidson is shattered and that is because his 25-year-old cousin, Doyin Sarah Fagbenro, who just finished two law degrees in the UK has been killed in Lagos by a danfo driver.
See the moving tribute he wrote for her:
DSF: Tribute To A Shining Starlet. Oh death! Where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Another Casualty of a broken and failed State. Your story is particularly Gut Wrenching as it is equally heartbreaking.
You spent near enough all but two of your 25 years on earth in the Country of your Birth, the United Kingdom where your Parents and entire family reside.
You were born, bred and educated in the United Kingdom. But two years ago, immediately after you graduated, you elected to visit Nigeria where your Grandparents reside – both of whom are in their Mid Eighties.
You signed up for the National Youth Service having freshly graduated with a sterling First Degree in Law and a Post Grad immediately afterwards. You were headhunted by an Energy Firm before you completed your NYSC and a presto you gallantly announced to your Nervous Parents – Dad a Diplomat with the United Nations based in Italy and Mum a Pharmacist based in the United Kingdom, your country of Birth – that you were going to permanently relocate and make Nigeria your permanent abode. Your Grandparents were ecstatic, you being their most favourite Grand Daughter.
You were a straight A student right from when you passed your GCSEs through to when you excelled in your A’levels…so much so that Prestigious Queen Mary’s London University snapped you to study Law. You missed a First by whisker’s. Nevertheless you made your mark all the way through. Then it all came crashing down.
What was supposed to be a routine journey to Church on a relatively sombre, otherwise uneventful Sunday morning on the Lekki/Ajah Expressway around the Lekki Phase 1 approach turned into a living and eternal nightmare for those of us left struggling to pick up the pieces. Our lives changed forever, never to be the same again.
A victim of the reckless and probably high on drinks/drugs ‘Danfo’ Driver. The most galling of the entire episode was the fact that the driver of that Danfo survived unscathed, RAN away from the scene leaving a trail of Death and Destruction in his wake. Four people died at the scene. Your New Toyota Corolla was a crumpled wreck. But the Fighter that you were, despite massive injuries, you fought and fought and fought.
Your Dad, via his status at the United Nations, got you into Lagoon Hospital where you were for a few days. When it became clear that the extent of your injuries was too severe for the local facilities here in Nigeria, An Air Ambulance was scrambled from the United Kingdom to get you much needed Specialist Care in the United Kingdom. Your tireless mum who flew in from the United Kingdom, barely 48 hours after the accident, accompanied you in the Air Ambulance. Still we Prayed and Prayed and Hoped for the Best.
Sadly We lost you a day after you arrived in the United Kingdom. The Surgeons tried desperately. You fought desperately to hang on. But in the end, it was not to be. The pain is palpably raw as it is numbling. We asked again and again, Why you? Why You? If only you had stayed on in the country of your Birth, If only…so many questions but very few answers. Your Parents, Your Grandparents, Oh! Your Grandma, with whom you celebrated her 80th Birthday over here in Nigeria a few years ago has refused to eat since she was informed of your passing nearly a week ago…All she repeatedly does is wail, wail to space “God Take Me instead, Give My Granddaughter back to Nigeria. Nigeria Needs Her, Her Parents Need her. God Take me. God Take Me.”.
These are indeed extremely perilous times. And so it was that having just spent barely a few weeks in Nigeria after a prolonged Winter holiday and Christmas in the United Kingdom with family and friends, I now find myself in the rather unenviable position of scrambling for the next flight out back to the United Kingdom just so that I can attend your Funeral this weekend. Someone retorted to me “Oh, you know, ‘our tradition’ forbids older relatives attending and being present at funerals where the deceased is much younger than us…” I snapped back, which tradition? And what has tradition ever done for us? What did Tradition ever give to HER?
I am here like a Zombie, mechanically and circuitously packing a few items for my flight out in the morning. The Family has decided that yours would be a Celebratory Sending Forth, so RED rather than the traditional Grey, Black would be the colour to be worn on the Day. DSF as you were very fondly called, you touched so many lives in the quarter century, (twenty five years only!) you ran your race on earth.
You were considerate to the end so much so that you waited until you got back home – nearer your parents and many siblings – before you finally bade the World Farewell. Doyin Sarah Fagbenro, My Learned Friend in the Profession, My lil Sister, My Cousin, Sleep Well till we meet again. O Death! Where is Thy Sting!

An Appeal Letter to The VC Of UNILORIN By An Admission Seeker

I am writing this formally to appeal to you to use your good office to release the next approved list by JAMB As soon as possible as JAMB has approved 1200 more names.
We waited for so long before the first and second list was released and now it is the next list.I wonder how much time we would wait for.
It seems Unilorin has been forgetful about us and has surely thrown us into exile of frustration since we have to retake jamb form.
To wait a year more is not an easy thing and education is our priority.i wish u could see the red eyes of the aspirants in which some of us are sick and heart broken,some are at the point of killing themselves.please help us sir.
A list was released last week and it was said that the wealthy ones were admitted while the poor aspirant has not been admitted.
We have less than eight days to matriculation and the admission list is not yet released. This has caused chaos among aspirants.
Finally, I am using this medium to plead once again for you to release the list for God's sake.
Thanks
