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.

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.

In Abuja Nigerian graduates globally competitive, says Unilorin VC

The Vice-Chancellor ofUniversity of Ilorin(Unilorin), Prof.Abdul Ambali, has said thatNigeriangraduates are competing favourably with their peers from across the world.
Ambali said that Nigerian graduates were able to compete favourably because of the acceptable standard of education in the country.
The vice-chancellor, who said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday inAbuja, added that Nigerian graduates had always acquitted themselves creditably in the Diaspora.
"I think the standard is acceptable because if you look at our graduates anywhere you go around the world and you see them, they are working in high places and they are proving themselves.
"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

"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.

! Father Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Are Saying - JAMB Boss, Ojerinde

"Father forgive them, for they know not what they are saying for now”. This was the response from the JAMB boss Professor Dibu Ojerinde while reacting to the recent uproar over the list of eligible candidates sent to institutions.
According To him, the reason behind this new admission policy is to help candidates not only get admission but get it on time.
Below are excerpts of the exact words of the JAMB Boss;
The big universities are overloaded. Can you imagine 8,000 students seeking for admission to study law in a university that will take only 250 candidates for law! The remaining 7750 candidates will wait endlessly and hopelessly till the end of the admission.

Or imagine 7500 candidates seeking for medicine in a university. Of these 7500 candidates, 2000 scored above 250 in the UTME. The university has a carrying capacity of only 150 candidates for medicine. The remaining 7350 who scored above 200 will be wasted. Particularly, 1750 candidates who scored above 200 will be wasted. Particularly, 1750 candidates who scored above 250 will be wasted while other universities either do not have enough candidates or high scoring candidates.
Courses like Biological Sciences, Agric Engineering and related courses are lacking in candidacy!
We are saying, let's give them a feel of chance somewhere else that has not gotten enough candidates by sending the names of these HIGH scorers to "needy" universities.

The names of such surplus candidates are being distributed to first Federal institutions, then State and finally Private institutions in that order depending on:
• Availability of space in other universities,
• Choice of the course of the candidate,
• The geographical Zone of the choice of the candidate, and
• Performance of the candidate.
By this approach, wastage of HIGH scores will be reduced, the fate of the candidates will be determined on time and yet the interest of their areas of study may be satisfied.
addition, the concept of selection by
• Merit,
• Catchment Area, and
• Educationally Less Developed States
Will be adequately catered for.
However, I am not saying that everyone will get admission or even get their original choice of course of study. But it is better than wasting the time, finances, and good scores of these candidates. We need to fill the available spaces as given to us by the regulatory bodies like NUC, NBTE, and NCCE.

If, however, a candidate does not want the given opportunity, it is too "baaaad".
This scenario was made clear to the institutions during the Policy meeting that took place on 14th July this year in Abuja.
Before the Policy meeting, we had discussions with the representatives of the Federal, State, and Private universities where the degree of the problems of candidates were presented and solutions were proffered. These decisions were backed up by copious statistics of applications to various universities.
Again “Father forgive them, for they know not what they are saying"
I believe that some so- called educational consultants have some hidden agenda which are being thwarted by our proactive steps. Let them know that this is a period of CHANGE. If they do not CHANGE they will be CHANGED.

WAEC To Withhold The Result Of Candidates In 19 States

The West Africa Examinations Council, WAEC has warned that it will withhold the results of students in 19 states over non-payment of about N4 billion the candidates’ registration fees by the state governments.
According to the Head of National Office, HNO, Mr Charles Eguridu , “The affected states should off-set the registration fees of their candidates as soon as possible, as we cannot guarantee that the results of their candidates for the May/June 2015 WASSCE will be released alongside others.”
“Many of the states of the federation, as part of their education policy, pay the registration fees of candidates for the WASSCE, particularly in the public schools.
“This is quite commendable as it afforded many indigent students the opportunity to sit our examinations and relieved many poor parents of this financial burden. “As I speak to you now, we are cash-strapped as a result of the delay in off-setting the registration fees owed the Council by some states. As a result, we are finding it difficult in meeting our financial obligations, particularly to our supervisors, examiners and service providers.
“We have written to the affected states governments without any response. The poor response is threatening the smooth operations of the Council.”
He however did not mention the states involved but urged them to pay up within the next two weeks.

ASUU Calls On The President To Probe JAMB

Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan Chapter has called on the president, Muhammadu Buhari to probe the alleged N1billion that will be generated from sale of scratch cards to candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions across the country by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board.
The chairman of the association condemns the new admission policy by JAMB describing it as counter-productive, exploitative and abuse of candidates’ rights; stating that the new admission policy has made the process chaotic and will only expose candidates to fraudsters. He further described professor Dibu as insensitive.

According to him, JAMB should respect candidates’ preferences and choices for tertiary institutions and consider security of lives of candidates, cost, proximity, quality, and rights of the Nigerian child in arriving at any policy.

Controversial Cut-off Mark: Candidates, Parents Drags JAMB To Court

The battle lines are drawn between parents, candidates of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), set to be stopped from sitting the forthcoming Post-UTME, University of Lagos, and the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (UTME).
liveschoolnews.com.ng grapevine learnt that the aggrieved parents and candidates of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), are dragging the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board to the court today (Friday) to seek redress in court on the matter.
The parents have also file a lawsuit against the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board to stop further sale of post-UTME form in public universities.
It would be recalled that hundreds of UTME candidates had on Wednesday stormed UNILAG to protest against the decision by the institution to stop them from sitting for the 2015/2016 post-UTME screening exercise.
The candidates alleged that the authorities of the university, in liaison with the JAMB, had rolled out a new admission procedure that prevented them from taking the examination to secure admission into the ivory tower.
UNILAG and JAMB had defended their different involvements in the exercise.
While the Head of Public Relations, JAMB, Dr. Benjamin Fabian, said the board did not intentionally exclude any candidate, the Registrar, UNILAG, Dr. Taiwo Ipaye, said the university was only working with the post-UTME screening list sent by JAMB, adding that only candidates whose names were forwarded to UNILAG by JAMB were eligible for the 2015/2016 post-UTME screening.
The President, Association of Tutorial School Operators of Nigeria, Mr. Sodunke Oludotun, who led the Wednesday protest to UNILAG premises, told our correspondent in an interview that the affected parents and students had agreed to seek redress in court on the matter.
He said their lawyer would file the suit against JAMB at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi today (Friday).
Oludotun said, “We have decided to go to court. We will be in court on Friday. Mr. Femi Falana is aware. Our lawyer too is going to file the court process on Friday.
“On Friday, all the students and their parents are following us to the court in Ikoyi. We are going to protest there. On our way to the court, we are going to block the Third Mainland Bridge before getting to the court.
“Our lawyer said all the people that heard of the case in the court were very angry when he went there today (Wednesday). It is annoying. That is one step we are going to take.”
He added that the protesters would also involve Falana, a human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria on the matter.
The protesters had on Wednesday alleged that the university raised its cut-off to 250 marks against the recommended 180 marks by JAMB.
It would be recalled that JAMB had, on July 14, after its sixth consultative meeting with stakeholders in Abuja, pegged the cut-off mark to 180 for candidates seeking university admission and 150 marks for those seeking places in polytechnics and colleges of education.
Meanwhile, the authorities of the University of Ibadan have distance the university from the controversial 250 JAMB cut-off mark.
Vice Chancellor, UI, Professor Isaac Adewole, told liveschoolnews.com.ng grapevine that “Our JAMB cut-off point to qualify candidates for post-UTME in University of Ibadan is still 200. We will use that in conjunction with the post-UTME scores of candidates to give them admission into our school.”

Check Your Re-Assignment Status on JAMB Portal – 2015

JAMB is now responsible for reassigning students that had the minimum cut off mark prescribed by JAMB but not allowed to participate in the post UTME screening exercise of their institution of choice due to surplus applicants. JAMB will reassign such students to other universities with low applicants.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, held on July 14, 2015 in Abuja, announced the adoption of a policy whereby candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified Matriculation Examinations (UTME) are reassigned to other universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities.
According to the Registrar/CEO of JAMB, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the policy portends two benefits:
1.It will be beneficial to “needy Universities” that is universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities, as this will ensure that these universities will have more candidates to admit.
2.Candidates will have better chances for admission in the universities they are re-assigned to, contrary to situations where they would await admission in the universities of their first choices until the admission exercise closes and they forfeit admission in that session.
JAMB has announced Friday, August 5, 2015 as the commencement date for the checking of reassignment status.
Bookmark this page and check back on August 5 for detailed procedure on how to check your reassigned institution.

Maryam Abacha University Certificates are Sub-Standard – NUC

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has warned Nigerians against patronising Maryam Abacha American University, Niger Republic, noting that the commission had been inundated with enquiries from some Nigerian students who had been offered admission in the university.
Speaking at a press conference at the headquarters of the commission, Thursday, Director, Information and Public Relations, Ibrahim Usman Yakasai stressed that MAAUN certificates are sub-standard.
He said such certificates will therefore not be recognized for seeking employment or conduction any legitimate business.
“We wish to restate that as the only quality assurance agency for universities in Nigeria, the NUC is maintaining its stand that degrees from Maryam Abacha University will not be accepted in Nigeria,” Yakasai said.
He disclosed that the concerned students were offered admissions on part-time with a graduation time of four semesters for programmes like Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science, Public Health among others.
“In Nigeria the duration for a full time degree programme is not less than three years for direct entry and at least six years for part-time, while professional programmes in Science, Engineering and Health Sciences including Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science and Public Health are not offered on part-time basis in Nigeria. Also, all part- time cross boarder education in Nigeria is not allowed,” he explained
Yakasai further lamented that the university admitted Nigerian students who did not have the basic requirements to gain admission into the nation’s tertiary institutions in addition to running courses such as Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science on part-time basis which, according to him, was not acceptable. Yakasai noted that all countries were at liberty to accept or reject certificates from any foreign university they felt was operating below their acceptable standards.

NYSC TO STOP PREGNANT WOMEN, NURSING MOTHERS, PG STUDENTS FROM SERVICE

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has barred pregnant women, nursing mothers and students engaged in postgraduate studies from enlisting in the national service across the country, until they are free to participate effectively.
Rising from a two-day pre-mobilisation workshop for the 2015 Batch “B” NYSC programme, held in Kaduna, Director-General of the NYSC, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, stated that the exemption of pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as post-graduate students from national service was because they would not be able to undergo the four cardinal programmes of the NYSC.

The four cardinal programmes include mobilisation, orientation, primary assignment and winding-up passing out parade.

In a communique, the NYSC also resolved that henceforth, pregnant women and children would no longer be allowed into orientation camps across the country for service under the scheme established by the Gen. Yakubu Gowon administration in 1973.

Arguing that prospective corps members must go through the four stages of national service to qualify to receive certificate of national service, Olawumi faulted a situation whereby prospective corps members, especially pregnant women and nursing mothers, would be absent from the stages of the national service, only to resurface for posting to their various places of primary assignments.
Meanwhile, the resolution workshop tagged: “ICT and NYSC Mobilization Process: Towards Eliminating Identified Challenges,” added that henceforth, documents for concessional posting request on marital or health grounds would be forwarded on-line as against the old practice of “bringing such to the NYSC headquarters in Abuja.”
