Mr Wasiu Bashorun, the Provost, AOCOED, Ijanikin, told newsmen in Lagos, on the sidelines of the send forth for the college’s former registrar, Mr Bola Disu.
“If you look at the institutions of higher learning in the country, students’ union leaders, the authorities and government are all getting it wrong.
“Each and everyone of us is supposed to know the rules and guidelines of our institutions. “So, what I am talking about now is that we need to know the dictates, rules, ethics and confines of the institution, and work within them.
“And these are parts of the problems we have been having in our tertiary institutions, not necessarily AOCOED, because I can speak of tertiary institutions in Lagos State. “The union leaders do not know their limits, and the school authorities are not forceful enough in enforcing them.
“It took me a long time to realise that beyond AOCOED, it is high time that the government supports the school authorities in decision-making.
“Especially decisions to ensure that academic activities are not disrupted as a result of unionism, students’ unrest and so on.
“This is the most obvious reason for the irregular academic calendar, and we need to ensure that it is limited,’’ the provost said. He said, however, that anyone who had gone beyond his or her confines to contribute meaningfully to the development of the society should be appreciated and rewarded. According to him, Disu contributed meaningfully to the growth of the institution and put in over two decades of meritorious service to the institution.
He said that just as people were being rewarded for meritorious service, so also should there be sanctions on defaulters, to strike a balance.
Disu said on the occasion that those personnel in the tertiary institutions, whether as a vice-chancellor, provost, lecturer or student, all had sacrosanct duties to perform. “It is must be done to the best of our abilities, because it is not by chance that we were given the opportunities.
“We have to mould the children, the future of the country; we cannot afford to toy with them, we must put in our best,’’ he said.
Disu said that the incoming government had been given a historic duty to perform, and should give education a priority. “Education is not an industry to be treated like any other industry. “As far back as the `50s and `60s, Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo of the defunct Western Region put 50 per cent of the budgetary allocation into education. “If today we are celebrating 10, eight or 13 per cent of the budgetary allocation to education, then we need to do more.
“UNESCO has said 26 per cent; but for us in the tertiary institutions, it should be more than that. “Because if you get it right in education, you get it right in any other sector. But if you get it wrong in education, then forget about other sectors. “The new government must endeavour to systematically increase the budgetary allocation in education,’’ the former registrar said. According to him, education is expensive and may not get the result in a short while, but will definitely reap a good fruit.
“A Yoruba adage says that if you build bridges and structures and you do not build children, the children will grow up to destroy the bridges and structures,’’ he said. Disu, however, chastised the school authorities on how they utilised their allocations. “It is now left for us in the industry to be mindful of how we spend the allocation. “To whom much is given, much is expected; so, whether a vice-chancellor, provost, registrar, please ensure you carry out your duty because it is a sacred duty,’’ he said.
The former registrar said that with good education, there will be no terrorist attacks. “Our children in the North-East will realise that they have a stake in the country; thus the need for their protection,” Disu added. (Vanguard)

Lagos State University Varsity students in dying minutes school fees rush

Students of the Lagos State Polytechnic, (LASPOTECH) Schools of Part-Time Studies Regular, SPTSR are in a last minute rush to pay their school fees so as to be able to write their exams.
With just four days to their first semester exams, reports gathered that some students have already fallen victim of the school's policy of no school fees, no exams as many of the students who are yet to pay their school fees have been prevented from entering exams hall which amounts to an automatic carryover.
It was also discovered that the majority of the students studying for National Diploma and Higher National Diploma are yet to pay their fees and those mostly affected are the new intakes; ND 1 and HND1 who always pay higher to regularise their admission.
As new intakes, they are expected to pay acceptance fee which means the students have accepted the admission offered by the school. This fee must be paid before such a student can access his/her portal before the school fees can be paid.
A visit to the Department of Mass Communication revealed that the students were the most affected by the school policy of no school fees, no exams. At the department, our reporter saw some students looking dejected and unhappy because they were unable to write the day’s paper.
One of the affected students named Mike said that he had to face the penalty because he was yet to pay his fees.
He lamented:
“With the way I’m seeing things, I think I will defer my admission because I am yet to meet up with the amount required for me to write my first semester examination and this is very strange to me compared to where I am coming from.
My former school always admits students to write their first semester exams even when we are yet to pay our school fees because they know we will surely pay before the second semester exams but that is not the system here. I feel sad this is how things play out.
The first two days our exam started was okay because they allowed us write the papers. But that suddenly changed when I got to my exam Hall for Theory of Mass Communication. I was shown the way out of the exam hall when external invigilators came asking for our exams docket. When I couldn’t present mine I was asked to leave the exam hall,” he said.
I have made some payments like the ICT and acceptance fee, leaving me with the mandatory 60 per cent instalment of the tuition fee. Many of my mates coming in as freshers are not finding it funny because only 70 percent of my classmates have paid theirs as at the first week of our exams and some who had part of their fee paid theirs last week and some of us who are yet to pay and were sent out of the exams hall on Saturday had to go begging friends in class to help them do last minute transfer to enable them pay since the school system of payment is online.”
Most of those affected by this development are the newly admitted National Diploma 1 and Higher National Diploma 1 students that are hoping regularize their admission. From our investigation, students of Mass Communication are paying more than other departments. HND1 Mass Comm students pay N13,300 acceptance fee, N2,050 for third party payment and N70,500 as school fee.
The inability of a student to pay the mandatory 60 per cent means that he or she will not write the first semester exams and likely withdraw.

30 Auchi polytechnic students among 41 cultists paraded in Edo

Edo police have paraded 41 suspected cultists, including 30 Auchi polytechnic students, allegedly responsible for the killings and destruction of property.

Many Nigerian youth, especially students, are actively involved in CULTISM (Campus Waka)

Solomon Arase, Inspector General of Police (Premiumtimesng)
Edo police have paraded 41 suspected cultists, including 30Auchi polytechnicstudents, allegedly responsible for the killings and destruction of property.
Eleven of the suspects are alleged cult leaders while the rest are student and artisan cultists who have played various roles in recent violent clashes.
The Police spokesperson,Emmanuel Ojukwu, said the suspects were nabbed by the crack team recently set up by IGP Solomon Arase.

“This afternoon, I am presenting before you some persons suspected to have played ignoble roles in acts of terror, vicious inter and intra-cult conflicts that have led to avoidable loss of lives and destruction of property in Edo State," Ojukwu said.

“The suspects who are leaders of cult confraternities are also being interrogated for their conspitorial involvement in the murder of ten Nigerians, including one late Ojo Aye Adu, 55, between Aprril 2015 and May 2015 in Edo State."

He noted that membership of the cult groups are not limited to students as is believed by many.
"As you will find out the cult group membership is not limited to students but also include artisans, civil servants, businessmen, public office holders and professionals in other areas of life."

Ojukwu said the student cultists are linked to the murder of oneConstance Iyoha, a 23-year-old apprentice interior decorator who died during a fracas among members of cult groups.

Federal Government Upgrades Four Colleges Of Education To Universities

The decision was taken at a meeting of the council, presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the conversion of four federal colleges of education to universities.

Minister of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, and Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau, briefed State House correspondents of the meeting’s outcome.Shekarau listed the affected colleges of education as Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo (now Adeyemi University of Education, Ondo); Federal College of Education, Zaria (now Federal University of Education, Zaria); Federal College of Education, Kano (now Federal University of Education, Kano);and Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri (now Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri).

The minister explained that the colleges of education were part of the 21 federal colleges of education that had been awarding degree programmes in the last three decades under the close supervision of the different universities they are affiliated to.

He said the council considered the need for further quality in teaching service, hence the conversion of the colleges to universities since more graduates would be needed in the teaching profession.
“We are heading to having more graduates in the teaching profession and hence the need for these universities to produce graduates in education. If we need quality education, we need quality teachers,” he said.
Shekarau explained that the next step was for the Ministry of Justice to prepare amendment to the laws establishing the colleges.

This, he explained, would be followed by some administrative changes.

The minister added that the council had approved the establishment of the Federal University of Health Sciences in Otukpo, Benue State.

Until the approval, the university was said to be the College of Medical Health Sciences under the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi.

He said the institution had now been granted autonomy as part of continuous efforts to ensure quality graduates into the various fields of medicine and sciences.
“So, a total of five universities were approved at the council meeting today,” the minister added.

Fed Poly Unwana Shut Down Over Land Dispute

Prof Ogbonna Ibe-Enwo, the Rector, Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana, Afikpo in Ebonyi, says the institution has been closed down indefinitely following a land dispute.
Ibe-Enwo newsmen on Tuesday in Afikpo that the action followed a crisis that erupted between the host community and the institution over some parcels of land.
He said the order for the indefinite closure of the school became imperative in order to ensure the safety of the students.
According to the rector, the closure of the institution is also to forestall possible reprisals from the host community.
“Management took the decision in the best interest of the students. It is believed that the measure will also safeguard the property of the institution.
“We have directed all students to vacate the school today, Tuesday, May 19, pending the return of normalcy to the institution.
“In the meantime, we are negotiating with community leaders and other key stakeholders to ensure quick and amicable resolution of the crisis,’’ Ibe-Enwo said.
The rector described the development as unfortunate and called for understanding from the host community.
“This development is unfortunate and something that could have been resolved through dialogue.’’
However, the rector said security had been beefed up within the school premises.
Meanwhile, a source which pleaded anonymity, said the crisis started in the early hours of Tuesday when some of the aggrieved villagers invaded the school premises.
The source said the invaders destroyed properties and burnt tractors used for grading of the internal roads in the institution.
The source further noted that no fewer than 1,000 angry youths from the community armed with machetes and other dangerous weapons invaded the institution.
According to the source, the angry mob also left many students severely injured while property worth millions of naira were destroyed.
The Ebonyi Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Chris Anyanwu, when contacted, declined comments, saying the Command was yet to be briefed on the incident.
Meanwhile, a member of the community who spoke to NAN on condition of anonymity, said the erection of new structure on the disputed parcel of land was the immediate cause of the fracas.
Both the community and the institution are laying claim to that parcel of land. (NAN)

Azuka Obiejogo HND graduate forges Okonjo-Iweala’s recommendation letter for EFCC job

A job seeker,Azuka Obiejogo, has been arrested by theEconomic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) for forging a recommendation letter in the name of the Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr.Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
EFCC spokesman,Wilson Uwujaren, said Obiejogo, who holds a Higher National Diploma from a polytechnic in Anambra State, allegedly applied for jobs at the EFCC and other government agencies using the forged recommendation letter.

Obiejogo was arraigned before Justice Muawiyah Idris of an Abuja High Court on six counts bordering on forgery.
His charge read:
“That you, Azuka Obiejogo, on or about August 11, 2014, in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, intentionally induced the Tertiary Education Trust Fund to employ you as Account Officer II by presenting a forged reference letter titled, ‘Reference on Obiejogo Raymond Azuka’, purportedly made by the Honourable Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, recommending you as a worthy officer fit for employment and which act caused harm to the reputation of TETFUND.”
According to the EFCC, the offence was contrary to Section 320(b) and punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code, CAP 532, Law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1990.
The accused pled not guilty and Justice Idris adjourned the case till June 2, 2015 for hearing of the bail application and commencement of trial.
Justice Idris ordered that Obiejogo be remanded in Kuje Prisons.

Delta State University, DELSU important notice to all students regarding some unscrupulous individuals parading themselves as members of the University anti-cult group.

Information at the disposal of the Delta State University, Abraka (DELSU) management indicates that some unscrupulous individuals are parading themselves as members of the University anti-cult group and using such platform to intimidate unsuspecting students. It was also revealed that these misguided elements have been arresting students over indecent dressing and other unfounded allegations.

Consequent upon the above development, students are requested to raise alarm and report same to the nearest available security unit or Police Station if harassed or forcefully arrested by anybody under the guise of anti-cult or anti-drug issues.

For the avoidance of doubt, these impersonators and criminals are out to defraud or initiate unsuspecting students into cultism and other related social vices. The bonafide members of the University anti-cult body are known to the security operatives and are operating under cover; so students and other members of the University community should be wary of those masquerading as members of the University anti-cult group and should endeavour to report any case of intimidation to the security unit of the University.

ASUU protests members’ kidnaps in Ekiti

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, Ekiti State University chapter, on Monday, in Ado Ekiti, protested against the kidnap of their members and issued a five day ultimatum to government to secure their release.

Failure to do this, the union said, it would not hesitate to embark on an indefinite strike till situation returned to normal.

Describing the case as frightening and disturbing, the union lamented that five of their members had been kidnapped at various locations in the state within two weeks, of which only two had been released to look for N210 million ransom for the release of other three hostages.

A lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Dr. Femi Omisore; Dr. Mrs. Folasade Alade of EKSU and Dr. Mrs. Kikelomo Adegun, wife of the former Chief Medical Director of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti are still in the kidnappers den.

The protesting lecturers carried placards with various inscriptions like “ASUU say no to kidnapping,” “Kidnapping is a crime against humanity,” “ASUU demands unconditional release of members,” and “Ensure safety of lives and property,” among others.

They converged on Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti, before moving to the Ewi’s Palace, where they were addressed by Oba Rufus Adejugbe and members of his Council.
ASUU members were led by EKSU Chairman, Prof. Olufayo Olu-Olu and Chairman OAU Chapter,  Dr. Caleb Aborisade, and his counterpart from Federal University of Technology, Akure, Dr. Bola Oniya.

They later moved to the Governor’s office in Ado Ekiti where they were received by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Kolapo Olusola.

ASUU expressed concerns about kidnappers making them and health workers in the state targets.

It urged the government to do all within its powers to rescue the state from sliding into anarchy.

Olu-Olu said, “This is the same way Boko Haram started in the North. It started like a child’s play, but today, a visit to the North would show the level of callousness and damage the sects have done to the system. On this premise, the government must act fast and stop this nonsense.

“These kidnappers erroneously thought our members are rich but they never knew that we have not received salaries in EKSU since March, 2015. Three of our members are still being held and they were demanding N70 million each, where do you expect us to get such money?

“Our fear is that, immediately these people realise that we are not rich, they may decide to waste them in the bush and this is our fear.

“We are pleading with Governor Fayose to act fast because it seems the police and the DSS have no clue on how the victims can be saved.”

Aborisade hinted that ASUU in OAU may relocate its Secretariat to Ado Ekiti from Friday if their colleagues had yet to be saved from the kidnappers’ den.

Five Men To Trek To Mecca For Buhari

A group of five married men have vowed to trek from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia to celebrate the victory of the president-elect, General Muhammadu in the March 28 presidential poll.

Speaking with newsmen in Bauchi on Sunday, the men; viz. Mohammed Inuwa, 45, Dahiru Aminu, 33, Abdullahi Usseini, 45, Abubakar Danjuma, 45, and Kabiru Saleh , 35, explained that their decision to embark on the foot journey was fueled by the undying love they have for the incoming leader.

Speaking on their behalf, Mohammed Inuwa said, “He has tried to be president for 12 years but Allah did not make it to be possible. We believe he always won because he had the support of the majority. This time around Allah has given him the power and so we decided to trek to
Mecca by road to register our unflinching support to General Buhari”


They said they were ready to give their lives for the mission but, “we pray Allah will protect and guide us because we are committed to show our appreciation to General Buhari.”

They disclosed that they have consulted widely with families and friends and have made adequate preparations for the journey which they estimated will take them at least, three months and will see them transverse countries of Chad, Sudan before reaching their destination in Mecca.

The men said that they hope to begin their trek on May 30, a day after the swearing-in of the incoming administration and asked Nigerians to pray for them to succeed in their mission.

Save Nigeria Education Teachers need motivation, training for high productivity — educationist

Nigeria must take the remunerations, motivation and welfare of teachers seriously in order to reposition Nigerian education according to Hajiya Fatima Abdulrahman, the President of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools.

Nigerian teachers need training and motivation for high productivity, says thePresident of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools(ANCOPSS),Hajiya Fatima Abdulrahman.
In an interview withDaily Trust, Abdulrahman said the main problems of teachers in Nigeria are inadequate training and facilities, poor welfare and lack of motivation.
"The major problems of teachers in the country are lack of training and retraining of teachers, over crowdedness in our classrooms, dilapidated structures and lack of motivation to teachers for high productivity," she said.
"I mean welfare of teachers, remunerations, their moral is very low in the society and to boost the morale of teachers for high productivity, their welfare should be prioritised."
According to the educationist, who has taught for 30 years, "some states teachers’ salaries are not paid for months," a situation that should not occur if teachers must produce their best.
"You have to motivate teachers for high productivity."
She called on the incoming government to take the remunerations, motivation and welfare of teachers seriously to move education forward.
In 2013, Abdulrahman, who is the current Principal ofGSS, Kuje, emerged the first female National President of ANCOPSS, an association that consists of principals of secondary schools and junior secondary schools in Nigeria.

21 youths arrested with 122 condoms at Ibadan all-male party

Could they be gay cultists? Information culled frompulserevealed that Twenty-one youths under the age of twenty five have been arrested for allegedly belonging to a 'gay cult' after police found them at an all-male 'party' with 122 condoms and no female present.
Police in Oyo state have arrested twenty-one youths under the age of twenty five for allegedly belonging to a 'gay cult'.
According to reports, the youths were taken into custody last week after police found them at an all-male 'party' with 122 condoms in their possession.
Police say the youths were holding an initiation into their group at the time of their arrest but have not charged them formally, despite detaining them at an Ibadan police station,The Nationreports.
It was reported that the police, who say they acted on a tip, believed the suspects are gay cultists because they were in possession of such a large number of condoms with no female present.
A unnamed spokesperson ofThe Initiative for Equal Rights(TIER) toldThe Nationthat they got involved in the case after a phone call on May 10.

"At the point of arrest, the young men were physically assaulted and treated in a manner unbecoming of any legal process: they were photographed in their underwear, made to write statements under duress and locked up in an overcrowded cell," the spokesperson said.

The report said a lawyer from theInternational Center for Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights(INCRESE) eventually facilitated 'bail' for the suspects.
The alleged gay members reportedly paid various sums for their release and have decided not to seek redress for their treatment over fears that they might be exposed and branded gay publicly.

Lagos State NUT criticized the use of Computer-Based Test,

CBT, in secondary schools examinations.
The Lagos State wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, says the introduction of the Computer-Based Test, CBT, in secondary schools examinations may not achieve the desired result. The state NUT Chairman, Mr Segun Raheem, made the assertion in Lagos yesterday. Raheem said the situation might be so because most of the students were not adequately prepared for CBT.
He said the students were not prepared due to the non-availability of Information Communication Technology, ICT, facilities and human resources. He noted that computer science which, hitherto, was an optional subject and suddenly made a compulsory subject would leave some students unprepared for CBT. “Computer Science has just been introduced to secondary schools as a compulsory subject which is coming rather late.
“However, only a few Lagos schools have computer science teachers and some schools gave temporary appointment to computer science teachers. “Others got the teachers through the efforts of the Parents’ Forum (PF),” he said. The unionist noted that most of the secondary schools in the state had a desktop or a laptop which they used mostly for administrative work.
He, however, said that only few schools had an ICT laboratory that was fully equipped with internet facilities, noting that “With the present situation, in my own view, I doubt if the use of CBT is result-oriented for students in secondary schools in the state.” “Except if crash programmes on computer studies and practice is introduced in schools, which must allow each student to have a free practice with computer, CBT will not achieve the desired aim.

The talented student graduated from the university with a first class degree in robotics and electrical engineering.

This is the first time a Nigerian could achieve such success since 1965, Nigerian Bulletin reports.

It was also gathered that Ufot won Japanese language award for foreigners and solved a mathematical equation that could not be solved 30 years ago in his first semester.


Asides from studying hard and paying himself for the education, Ufot works at Nissan. He has already made two patented products. Recently, he developed an electric car that could go as fast as 128 kilometers per hour.


Asides from being a Saxophone master, the young Nigerian speaks English, Yoruba, French, Japanese.

Undoubtedly, bright future is waiting for Ufot Ekong, who made the nation proud.
