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)

We Have Never Been Part of The Crisis – LASU Students

Lagos State University, LASU students declared they have never been part of the crisis that led to the continued closure of the school.

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.

Public Relations Officer of LASU Students’ Union, Mr. Fatai Adebanjo, in a statement , lamented that the sudden inclusion of the students who have being pleading with the parties involved in the crisis to sheath sword.

Adebanjo said that the comment by the state government was erroneous and could further escalate the crisis rocking the institution.

According to him, “We can state authoritatively that, this statement was made obviously to indict the Students’ Union of LASU because, the Students’ Union protested against the continued closure of our school.”

Post-UTME Screening Test Would Soon Be Scrapped- Ojerinde

The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Dibu Ojerinde, at the weekend said that the post-UTME screening tests conducted by institutions of higher learning would soon fizzle out with the introduction of the Computer-Based Test (CBT).

Ojerinde who made this know to Jambcbt.com.ng in llorin at the weekend, said that Computer-Based Test has reduce examination malpractice and other forms of irregularities.

Ojerinde said: “Post JAMB tests will die naturally. The way it will die is by the way of CBT. If we are sure that children who are doing the examinations are no longer cheating, if we are sure that the parents are no longer helping them to cheat, in fact it is practically impossible to come and help the children to do the examination now. I know some individuals got to the website to say, “come and increase your score” by whatever means, they can never do it. It is not possible and I have seen somebody who got two scores, he got a fake one and he got the correct one from us.

“So I think we are saying let us increase the standard of education, if the standard of examination is good, if children know that they cannot cheat, they will go back to their books…By and large, the standard of education will improve”.

“The introduction of the Computer-Based Test has reduced the level of leakages of exam papers. Anybody who goes out and says these are the questions they will ask me and that person believes that he is going in to meet the same kind of questions in the exam hall will be disappointed. He is not going to meet the same questions, so it is zero per cent leakage. I can prove that to you that examination malpractice has been completely reduced.

As the candidates sit by their systems, you can see them and their pictures on their screens. If a male is sitting down and you see a female picture, wouldn’t you know he’s not the right candidate? The system of biometrics will even expose them. The process of examination attendance list will expose them, so most of these problems that we encountered are gone.”

The registrar noted that the CBT method had maximally improved the performance of students, saying applicants who did CBT in the previous examination performed better than their counterparts who used pen and paper.

According to him, the CBT system is a way of preparing candidates ahead of the challenge in universities where they would be extensively drilled.

Scrapping weekend programmes is 'shutting out poor persons', Uduaghan tells NUC at DELSU

Gov. Uduaghan of Delta state has advised the National Universities Commission (NUC) against its plan to scrap weekend and continuous education programmes. He says the move will deny the poor access to education and lower literacy levels.

 

Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has advised the National Universities Commission (NUC) not to continue with its plans to scrap weekend and continuous education programmes from the Nigerian University System (NUS)

Speaking last Saturday at the 9th Convocation of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka, Uduaghan said scrapping the programmes will have a negative consequence on the educational system.

The governor noted also that the move will completely shut out the poor from education.

“The scrapping of the weekend programmes and others have completely shut out poor persons who used the programmes to further their education," he said.

Uduaghan said the planned scrap, if effected, will also affect the already poor literacy level in the country because ""such programmes help to reduce the illiteracy level of the society."

DELSU Vice Chancellor, Prof. Victor Peretimode, said the  9,607 students participated in the convocation, with 13 obtaining first class degrees.

NYSC corps member jailed for life... 5 years after he killed a UK based Nigerian student and fled to Lagos

In 2009 Jeffrey Okafor fatally stabbed a 19-year-old Nigerian student, Carl Beatson-Asiedu, in the UK and fled to Nigeria where he lived a normal life for five years until he was caught in September 2014. After his tradition to the UK, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.




Jeffrey Okafor (L) has been jailed for life for the murder of Carl Beatson-Asiedu  International Business Times UK‎

A Nigerian student, who fled from the UK in 2009 after he murdered another Nigerian, Carl Beatson-Asiedu, has been convicted and jailed for murder by a Woolwich Crown Court.

Jeffrey Okafor was found guilty after a trial at Woolwich Crown Court and was on Friday sentenced to life with a minimum 17 years in jail.

The 24-year-old Okafor had stabbed Beatson-Asiedu, a 19-year-old undergraduate and actor in the BBC children's series MI High, in the heart.

Beatson-Asiedu, also called DJ Charmz, had just performed at the Club Life nightclub in Kennington, south London before he was attacked by a group of men and stabbed once in the heart by Okafor in an argument.

Okafor then called his girlfriend, told her that he had just stabbed Beatson-Asiedu and told her to dispose of some clothes he wore when he committed the crime.

He then emptied his bank account, fled to Nigeria using his brother's passport and was the subject of a five-year international manhunt.

Back in Nigeria, Okafor completed a university degree and was deployed for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

Det insp Alison Hepworth, said Okafor lived comfortably until he was arrested in September 2014 after information was passed on to the Nigerian authorities.

"Jeffrey Okafor fled the UK to Nigeria illegally under a false identity in the hope of evading capture," Hepworth said.

"He lived a relatively comfortable life and even had the opportunity to study at university.

"There is no doubt that he was supported by others both in the UK and in Nigeria."

The British High Commission in Abuja in a statement said Okafor's arrest was collaboration between the Nigerian and British police.

“With the help of the Nigeria Police Force and the British High Commission, detectives arrested Okafor on September 23, 2014. He was apprehended at a bank in Warri, Delta State, by Nigerian police officers," the statement read.

"Okafor was extradited back to the UK and arrived at London Heathrow Airport on November 6, 2014, where he was arrested and charged with Carl’s murder."

A Nigerian student, who fled from the UK in 2009 after he murdered another Nigerian, Carl Beatson-Asiedu, has been convicted and jailed for murder by a Woolwich Crown Court.

Jeffrey Okafor was found guilty after a trial at Woolwich Crown Court and was on Friday sentenced to life with a minimum 17 years in jail.

The 24-year-old Okafor had stabbed Beatson-Asiedu, a 19-year-old undergraduate and actor in the BBC children's series MI High, in the heart.

Beatson-Asiedu, also called DJ Charmz, had just performed at the Club Life nightclub in Kennington, south London before he was attacked by a group of men and stabbed once in the heart by Okafor in an argument.

Okafor then called his girlfriend, told her that he had just stabbed Beatson-Asiedu and told her to dispose of some clothes he wore when he committed the crime.

He then emptied his bank account, fled to Nigeria using his brother's passport and was the subject of a five-year international manhunt.

Back in Nigeria, Okafor completed a university degree and was deployed for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

Det insp Alison Hepworth, said Okafor lived comfortably until he was arrested in September 2014 after information was passed on to the Nigerian authorities.

"Jeffrey Okafor fled the UK to Nigeria illegally under a false identity in the hope of evading capture," Hepworth said.

"He lived a relatively comfortable life and even had the opportunity to study at university.

"There is no doubt that he was supported by others both in the UK and in Nigeria."

The British High Commission in Abuja in a statement said Okafor's arrest was collaboration between the Nigerian and British police.

“With the help of the Nigeria Police Force and the British High Commission, detectives arrested Okafor on September 23, 2014. He was apprehended at a bank in Warri, Delta State, by Nigerian police officers," the statement read.

"Okafor was extradited back to the UK and arrived at London Heathrow Airport on November 6, 2014, where he was arrested and charged with Carl’s murder."

Osun to continue free school food for 250,000 pupils Osun state has said it will continue to feed over 250,000 pupils under it’s ‘O-Meals' School Feeding and Health Programme despite rumours that it plans to scrap the program over paucity of funds.

Primary school pupils in Osun state will continue to get free food under the government’s ‘O-Meals' School Feeding and Health Programme.

The Permanent Secretary in Osun state Ministry of Education, Lawrence Oyeniran, said this while answering questions on the OSBC Radio 104.5FM Yoruba weekly programme, 'Lagbo Eto Eko'.

Oyeniran said the Governor Rauf Aregbesola government is committed to the program and asked the 3,000 food vendors employed in the scheme to continue to feed the over 250,000 pupils benefiting from the scheme.

There had been speculations that the state government plans to scrap the program over paucity of funds but the Permanent Secretary assured that this was not the case.

He said the rumours were being peddled by 'enemies of masses' and revealed that the government had reached an agreement with the O-meals vendors to resume as usual.

Covenant University begins use of card readers for exam accreditation Covenant University said it has deployed biometrics devices, popularly known as card readers, for the conduct of its on-going examination.

The university is well known for its engagement of technology in its activities and has been awarded the “Best ICT-driven University” in Nigeria and West Africa.
The Director, Centre for Systems and Information Services of the university, Pastor Abolade Afolabi, explained that the introduction of the smart card readers was to solve the challenge of students having to go through the rigour of printing out their Course Evaluation Forms in order to sit for examination, Punch reports.
Another reason, according to him, is to forestall any form of examination malpractice.
INEC deployed a similar technology in the recently concluded general elections.
Before the introduction of the card readers examinations, students were expected to complete their course registration and clearance on the portal and print out the evaluation form. The forms were presented to invigilators at the examination venue before they were eligible to write the exam.
Afolabi further explained that “the card readers use a highly secured cryptographic technology that is commonly used for devices that perform secure transactions, such as payment terminals. The devices contain Green List, that is, names of students who have been evaluated for a particular course and are eligible to take the examination.”
The University’s Director of Academic Planning Unit, Dr. Akan Williams, also claimed that with the introduction of the card readers, examination malpractice had been curtailed to a large extent. Though the use of the device was not without some initial challenges, Williams stated that they had recorded up to 90 per cent success.

UNILORIN's law students rated best in Nigeria after bar exam

been rated the best in Nigeria by the Council of Legal Education.

The recognition came following the cumulative performance of UNILORIN students in the August 2014 Bar Final Examinations of the Nigerian Law School.

The Council announced the ratings in the report of the ad-hoc committee it set up to assess students' performance.

Headed by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, the committee had Prof. J. A. M. Audi, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. E. S. Olarinde, Provost, College of Law, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti; Dr. Y. M. Yusuf, the Dean of Law, University of Maiduguri; Mr. Emeka Obegolu, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. M. O. U. Gasiokwu, the Dean of Law, Delta State University, Abraka; Mr. S. A. Osamolu, Director/Head of Academic, Nigerian Law School and Mrs. M. M. Stanley-Idum, the Deputy Director (Academic), Nigerian Law School, as members.

Accordinf to the ratings, coming second behind UNILORIN is  the University of Lagos (UNILAG), followed by the University of Ibadan (UI), and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in the third and fourth positions respectively while the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) and Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) share the fifth spot..

UNILORIN came second in the 2012 and 2013 Bar Final Examinations

The committee noted in the report that the "“inability of various Faculties of Law to have uninterrupted academic activities in a semester... contributed to the declining standards" which affected their performance in the exams.

“In a bid to meet the Nigerian Law School calendar, some Faculties of Law abridged their programme to compensate for incessant strikes and other disruptions," it stated.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, described the feat as monumental.

He called for similar rating exercise across other faculties in Nigerian Universities.
