UNIABUJA to charge N200,000 PG exam fees

Thereis disquiet at University of Abuja, following the decision of the management to introduce an examination fees regime under which students pursuing doctor of philosophy, Ph. D, and masters programmes are to pay N200,000 and N150,000, respectively.
A circular to this effect was issued by the Dean, Post-Graduate School of the university, Prof. E. J. C. Nwana.
The examination fees, considered arbitrary and exorbitant by students, are separate from the fees charged by the university for PG courses. The university management also added more than doubled fees for masters from N41,400 (Sciences) and N55,900 (Arts) to N99,500 (Sciences)and N114,000 (Arts).
The increases, according to the circular, took effect from 2014/2015 academic session and school fees are to be paid every session by the PG students and there will be no clearance if any arrears are unpaid.

Some of the PG students, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard, complained bitterly over the charges for external defence of thesis and dissertation as the university had no such fees when they were admitted.

Bello Appointed Bayero Varsity 10th VC

The 12th Governing Council of Bayero University, Kano, in the exercise of its powers conferred by Section 4 of the Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) Amendment Act 2003, at its meeting on Friday 7th August, 2015, considered the submission of the Selection Board and approved the appointment of Professor Muhammad Yahuza Bello as the 10th Vice-Chancellor.

The Pro-Chancellor explained that while they would join the outgoing Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abubakar Adamu Rasheed, mni, MFR, in celebrating a successful tenure, it is their duty to fervently seek Divine assistance to enable his successor to achieve the same success. The Ajiyan Katagum further advised the new Vice-Chancellor to hold on to his values of humility, firmness and knowledge and to accord every single human being he comes into contact with, dignity.
The new Vice Chancellor went round the chamber to shake the hands of the members, before delivering a short acceptance speech. He expressed appreciation to the Council for finding him worthy of the responsibility and promised to carry everyone along.
“Leadership is a collective responsibility,” he said, “so that we can build on what has been done”.Prof Bello was particularly happy that the Council has been spared the recent dissolution of FG agencies and bodies, and that he would be guided by their wisdom and experience, in addition to the advice of members of the wider University Community.

The West African School Certificate, WAEC, has just released the result of the May/June 2015 Senior School Certificate Examination, SSCE, withholding 118,101 candidates’ results out of the 1.5 million students that participated in the examination.
Announcing this in Lagos at a press conference on Monday, WAEC Head of National Office, Mr. Charles Eguridu noted that the states owing WAEC were now 13, saying the candidates in public schools in the 13 states would not have their results until their state governments pay their candidates’ registration fees.
The examination body had recently raised the alarm that 19 states owed the agency about N4bn, an amount that might cripple its operations. The SSCE result is currently online to make it easier for candidates to access, using the number on the scratch card they had earlier purchased.

UI Will Admit 3,000 Candidates Out Of 33,000 Applicants For 2015/2016, Says DVC

Over 30,000 candidates that applied for admission into the University of Ibadan for the 2015/2016 academic session will not get admission.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics), University of Ibadan, who made this assertion at a stakeholders’ forum, organised by the Distance Learning Centre (DLC) of the institution, said that the institution could only admit 3,000 out of over 33,000 candidates that applied for admission for 2015/2016 academic session.
She urged prospective students who met admission requirements, but could not gain admission to embrace Distance Learning to satisfy their needs of qualitative tertiary education. “If we can’t meet the need of our people through the regular face to face mode, then we should use the Open Distance Learning (ODL).
“Education drives growth and development and it must be at the centre for any nation to make advancement,” she said. Oke assured that the university would ensure qualitative and standard distance learning education, with strict adherence to the mandate of the nation’s premier university.
Prof. Francis Egbokhare at the forum delivered a paper entitled “Accessibility and Openness of the ODL Practice.” Egbokhare said that the establishment of private universities as solution to non- accessibility to university education by Nigeria youths had failed.
He said that this could be ascertained from the low patronage of private universities.
According to him, only three per cent of the total population of candidates seeking admission through JAMB choose private universities.
Egbokhare urged government to look for ways of expanding the existing ODL facilities to be able to accommodate more candidates. Similarly, Prof. Abiola Awosika in her lecture entitled, “The Importance of Technology in ODL Practice,” said that technology had made the learning world smaller so that everyone could have access to the ‘’global classroom.’’
In his welcome address, Prof. Bayo Okunade, the Director of the centre, said that the forum was to fast track the process of change, being witnessed at the centre. He also said that the centre has advanced tremendously.

“We must do it right in order to justify the purpose of our existence, and this is why we are here to brainstorm and engage ideas on both our challenges and prospects, “he said.

32,000 Candidates Qualified To Write Unilag’s 2015 Post-UTME—Official

Over 32,000 candidates will write the 2015 post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) into the University of Lagos, according to the institution’s Deputy Registrar (Information), Mr Olagoke Oke.
The examination is scheduled to hold from Aug. 12 to Aug. 14.
Oke told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday that the figure was close to four times the 9,000 that was initially posted to the institution by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
NAN reports that JAMB in collaboration with some public universities had agreed to raise the bar of the cut-off marks of their institutions from 200 to 250 for the various courses.
The development had generated an outrage among candidates, their parents and other stakeholders, who called on Federal Government to intervene.
The decision was later reversed after consultations between the Prof. Dibu Ojerinde-led JAMB and the Federal Government.
Oke said:“I want to say that all logistics toward a smooth conduct of this examination are fully in place.
“We have always been ready for situations like this and have always got it right.
.
“Before now, we were hoping to put logistics in place for the initial 9,000 candidates, but with the reversal of the decision, we now have to re-adjust and I want to say that we are fully prepared.
“All our computers and its accessories, the backups, alternative power supply as well as adequate personnel that will conduct the examination are all ready.’’
The deputy registrar said the university was compelled to extend the exercise to three days because of the large number of candidates seeking admission into the institution.
He, however, advised candidates to arrive early at the examination centres for a hitch-free exercise. (NAN)

UNILAG Lecturer Jailed For Raping 18-Year-Old Admission Seeker

A Part-time lecturer in accounting at the University of Lagos who was accused for forcefully having a carnal knowledge with an 18-year-old girl, identified as Caroline in the Yaba area is spending the weekend in Kirikiri Prison following a remand order by an Ikeja Magistrate court, after a rape charge.

The lecturer, Dr Akin Baruwa was taken to court by the Isokoko police station for raping an 18 year-old daughter of a friend of his, seeking to be shortlisted by the university for the post UTME test.

The Punch Online reported that the violated girl scored 211 in the UTME and nurses the ambition to study Mass Communication at UNILAG.

Since she failed to meet UNILAG’s high cut-off mark, the father had approached Baruwa for help.

The report said Baruwa agreed to help and took the girl with him to UNILAG on 23 July. Both of them drove out early from their Abesan Estate, in Ipaja, in the suburb of Lagos.

The admission seeking-girl did not get the assistance promised.

But she ended up being violated by Baruwa right in his office, at the university, according to child rights activist, Mrs. Esther Ogwu, whom the case was reported to by the family.

Director of the Esther Child Rights Foundation, Esther Ogwu, a social worker handling the case, said:

“I believe this lecturer had been doing this in the past. It is necessary for girls to be aware and know what to do when in a potentially dangerous situation where they may be assaulted.

“I don’t expect him (the lecturer) to admit that he raped her. I knew he would say it was consensual, but I suspect that this is not the first time he would do such thing. Let the law take its course because we don’t know how many other girls are being saved because this case is coming out to the public.”

The case has also been reported at the Office of the Public Defender under the Lagos State Ministry of Justice. The Director of the OPD, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, said the case would be followed to its logical conclusion.

In Jigawa NSCDC arrests fake NYSC member

NSCDC arrests fake NYSC member in Jigawa  (Nyexchange)
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Jigawa, has arrested an 18-year-old man, Muhammad Ibrahim, for impersonating as a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The state Commandant of the corps, Mr Muhammad Gidado, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Dutse.

He said the suspect was arrested while roaming the premises of the state secretariat wearing the uniform of the NYSC. He said the suspect was arrested by men of the command operating in the area.

The commandant told NAN that preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect was not a genuine corps member.

"On investigation, we discovered that he is not a genuine corps member; we are also skeptical about the contradictory responses he gave," he said.

Gidado said suspect had been handed over to the Department of State Services (DSS) in the state for further investigation.

"His questionable disposition while in our custody informed the decision to transfer him to the DSS for further investigation," he said.

A part-time lecturer of the University of Lagos, Baruwa, who was on Monday, August 3 apprehended by the Surulere Police Division for allegedly raping 18-year-old girl, identified as Caroline (pseudonym) in the Yaba area has come out to give his version of the encounter.
According to him, he indeed had a carnal knowledge with Shola but it was “consensual.”
The lecturer, who seemed to be in his early 40s, told our correspondent that he made the mistake of not doing enough to resist the temptation of ‘sleeping’ with Shola.

Speaking with our correspondent in the front of his house out of earshot of his wife and two children, Dr. Baruwa said, “I swear to God that the girl agreed to everything that happened. She was a chatty girl, who did not show any shyness.
“It is true that I took her to YABATECH and showed her places. What is not true is that I deliberately took off from home because of any plan to do anything bad to her. I took off from home that early to avoid traffic.
“When she was in my office, she was the one telling me to be free with her. I realised that I needed to lie down a little and did not want my shirt to be rumpled. When I pulled it off, she even told me not to mind her presence that since it was my office, I could do whatever I wanted.
“When we first got to the office, she lay on my chest and was even playing with my manhood. That was why I could not resist it. After we came back from seeing the woman who was supposed to help with her admission, she was about to go when I told her to give me a hug. It was that which now led to the actual sexual encounter.

“When I realised that I could not resist her, I had to tell her to let me put on a condom. The truth is that, while I was putting on a condom, she stood by and waited. I did not actually penetrate. When she was saying ‘it’s enough, it’s enough’ and complaining that her tummy had started hurting her, I stopped.”
Baruwa explained that Shola’s father had sent a cryptic text message to him (days later when he learnt of what happened to his daughter), saying that he had learnt of what he did to his daughter.
“I know I betrayed his trust but nobody would understand it was consensual. I would have reached out to him to beg him if I think it would solve the problem,” he said.
When told that Shola went through more than a week of excruciating abdominal pain, Baruwa explained that if Shola left him the day of the encounter with any sign of hurt, he would have reached out to her to find out how she was doing.

Liveschoolnews.com.ng grapevine gathered that the case has also been reported at the Office of the Public Defender under the Lagos State Ministry of Justice. The Director of the OPD, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, said the case would be followed to its logical conclusion.
Director of the Esther Child Rights Foundation, Esther Ogwu, a social worker handling the case, said when the case was first reported to her, the health of the girl was her immediate concern.
She said, “I had to refer them to the Mirabel Sexual Assault Referral Centre in Lagos so that she could get comprehensive treatment. This case is just another reason for girls and young women to be cautious of the issue of sexual assault.
“I believe this lecturer had been doing this in the past. It is necessary for girls to be aware and know what to do when in a potentially dangerous situation where they may be assaulted.

“I don’t expect him (the lecturer) to admit that he raped her. I knew he would say it was consensual, but I suspect that this is not the first time he would do such thing. Let the law take its course because we don’t know how many other girls are being saved because this case is coming out to the public.”

Baruwa was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court, Lagos on Thursday. He has been remanded at the Kirikiri Prison

Post UTME Will Soon Be Stopped - JAMB

The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB-), Prof Dibu Ojerinde has predicted that Post-UTME screening exercise organized by higher institutions in Nigeria with soon stop following the introduction of the Computer-Based Test (CBT).

Ojerinde said the reason for this is that the Computer Based mode of UTME had helped to completely eradicate examination malpractice.

Post-JAMB tests for applicants was introduced my many universities and polytechnic before they are offered admission, irrespective of whether they passed the JAMB examination, which has attracted its fair share of criticism as it was described as a means of extorting money from applicants.

He said: “If the universities are sure that the parents are not assisting their children to cheat, if the standard of examination is improved, post UTME would die naturally.

“With the computer based test fully introduced by the board, the Nigerian universities would have confidence in the performance of JAMB candidates.”
The JAMB registrar said the results of CBT examination were the true reflection of what each candidate had worked for.

Ekiti Students Hail Fayose For Fulfilling Electoral Promises

The Leadership of Federation of Ekiti State Students’ National Body (FESSU), headed by Comrade Obayemi Oluwaseun, has thanked governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state for fulfilling some of his electoral promises to them.

The latest was the release of bursary and scholarship forms to Ekiti state students schooling at various institutions of learning across the nation.

In a statement signed by the union’s secretary, Samuel Arowolo and made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti, the governor had earlier this week released a notification of bursary and scholarship forms to all students of Ekiti origin, a form which will be out for access between August 15 and October 30 this year.

FESSU also appealed to the governor to in his magnanimity to fulfill the rest of his promises to the students, especially the mobility aspect since the last administration had failed to release the bus purchased for the union, alleging that it was in support of Fayose’s then gubernatorial aspirations.

The students also urged the state government to give employments to former qualified students’ leaders in the state and also make it a point of necessity to appoint SA on youths and students affairs so as to serve as intermediary between the governor and the youths in the state.

Meanwhile, the governor has declared August 6 as Ekiti artisans’ day during a meetingwith the artisans in the state recently.

NABTEB '21-yr-old Taraba Polytechnic runs unaccredited courses'

Taraba state's 21 year-old Polytechnic has been running courses which have not been accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NABTEB).

According to a Daily Trust report, the chairman of the Joint Action Committee of Tertiary Institutions the state, AbduKarim Bello, said this on Wednesday at a news conference in in Jalingo.

Bello asked the state government to address the situation which has negatively impacted graduates of the institution, especially with regards to securing employment outside the state.

"Though the polytechnic was established to train middle level workers in the state, government should ensure the accreditation of all courses and facilities in order add value and make the certificates awarded recognized nationwide," Bello said.

He also urged the government to ensure that facilities and building at the new site of the polytechnic meet accreditation requirements.

Federal University Gashua Yobe Governor excited as FUGASHUA gets 240 pioneer students The Federal University of Gashua (FUGASHUA), Gashua, Yobe state, has held its first matriculation ceremony with 240 pioneer students.

The Federal University of Gashua (FUGASHUA), Gashua, Yobe state, has held its first matriculation ceremony with 240 pioneer students.

Speaking at the event, Yobe state governor, Ibrahim Gaidam commended the federal government for establishing the federal university of Gashua.

According to him, the establishment of the university indicates the desire to provide qualitative, accessible and affordable tertiary education to his people.

Noting that the university will help correct the state's education disadvantage, Geidam promised to support the university's management.

The governor lauded the leadership of the University for the Work done so far in the fledgling institution.

“All I can say at the moment is to pay tribute to the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Gashua, Professor Shehu Abdul-Rahman, the registrar, Alhaji Sule Dauda and the pioneer staff, both academic and nonacademic for their invaluable contributions to the development of the university in terms of impressive infrastructural development in addition to rehabilitation of what they found on ground," he said,

FUGASHUA, which came to existence in February 2013, is one of the 12 new Federal Universities established by Goodluck Jonathan in the six geopolitical zones of the country.

Professor Shehu Abdul Rahman and Alhaji Sule Dauda are the pioneer Vice-Chancellor and Registrar respectively.

Nasir El-Rufai Kaduna gov cancels school fees, promises free food, uniforms From September, students attending public primary and secondary schools in Kaduna state will get it all for free, with free food and uniforms as well, according to Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

 

Come September, students attending public primary and secondary schools in Kaduna state will get it all for free, with free food and uniforms to boot.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai made the promise at the weekend during a town hall meeting held in Zaria.

“From September your children will attend schools for 9 years free of charge," the governor said.

"We intend to provide uniform, feeding in our primary and junior schools in the state.

"There will also be no more PTA fees in our schools.

It will be recalled that the past governor of the state, Ramalan Yero, had in the build-up to the 2015 gubernatorial elections described El-Rufai, free education promise as ''laughable' and 'insulting'.

"It is so laughable for somebody whose children already school in United Kingdom (UK) because you don't believe in the system here. Because you had the opportunity of taking your children there," Yero had said through his spokesperson, Ahmed Maiyaki.

"This is laughable, insulting for somebody to imagine that he will provide free education or his children will come back to public schools when he does not even have children that will attend school right now."

With the recent announcement, it then seems El-Rufai is determined to fulfil his campaign promises.

NYSC Soon To Be Completely Optional—DG

Very soon, fresh graduates of Nigerian tertiary institutions will be at liberty to participate in the National Youth Service scheme. According to a press statement released Wednesday by the special adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina, Director-General General of the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) Brigadier-General Johnson Olawumi during a presidential briefing Wednesday, informed President Buhari that plans are on the way to make the service voluntary due to the increasing number of prospective Corp members annually coupled with the lack of adequate fund to carter for their welfare.
According to Brigadier-General Olawumi, if fresh graduates are allowed to choose whether to participate in the scheme or not, the number of prospective Corp members will decrease thereby making it easier to manage the scheme efficiently.
The statement further disclosed that the officials of the ministry of youth development led by the Permanent Secretary Mrs Rabi Jimeta briefed President Buhari on the inability of NYSC to adequately carter for Corp members due to high increase in their population and inadequate funds for the scheme. Mrs. Jimeta told the President that the increasing number of NYSC participants posed a challenge to the scheme due to the dwindling revenue, from the national budget, to cater for their needs. She told the President that the annual enrolment of corps participants had increased from 2,364 at inception in 1974 to 229,016 in 2014.
“Given the increasing number of tertiary institutions, our projection is that the number of corps participants may rise to 300,000 by year 2020,’’ she said.
Responding, president Muhammadu Buhari pledged that his administration will take all necessary actions to maintain and improve the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme as a functional vehicle for the promotion of national unity and integration.
The President affirmed his confidence and trust in the programme, saying that the objective for which the scheme was established in 1973 was still very relevant for national development now.
“I firmly believe in NYSC and I think it should remain a national programme to promote integration.
“Whenever I go home to Daura, I look out for Corps members from Lagos, Aba and other parts of the country.
“I am always thrilled to learn that except for the NYSC, some of them have never left their states of origin to visit other cities in the country,” President Buhari said

NYSC Corps Member Drowns in Nasarawa River

Report exclusively obtained by Newspunchhas it that Mr. Babalola Olayinka of Batch “C” member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has been reported to have drowned in a river in Odu, a village in Nasarawa State where he is currently serving his father land.
The incident occurred on Saturday of August 1, 2015.

According to an eyewitness, the ugly incident happened when as usual the villagers trooped to the river. Many were fishing. Some came to swim; others to wash their clothes. In the throng were some Corps members, who chose to swim at the bank of the river. But, a few minutes into the game, one of them got drowned in the river.

Onlookers wondered how the late Babalola Olayinka got into the river. Initially, it was learnt that the Corps members were playing on the shore. “NEWSPUNCH” gathered that one of the Corp member pleaded with his colleague to move to the river on the basis of the fact that they were idle.

Our Source said; “The late Olayinka stood close to the river for a few seconds, after which he dived into the river to swim. His colleagues watched in excitement as he swam but in a moment, he stopped and started waving his hands. They thought he was still playing, until they didn’t see him again on the water surface.”

When his colleagues realized what was happening, they cried for help from the villagers, who were swimming in the river. After a few minutes of frantic search, the rescuers could not found the boy before he was later found at the bank of the river, dead and was immediately taken to the state hospital in Keffi..
The other Corps members declined to speak with our correspondents when contacted.

The Corps’ Liaison Officer (CLO) in the local government, Mr. Michael in his confirmation of Olayinka’s death described him as a “big loss to the NYSC in Nasarawa State.

Unilag Lecturer Rapes 18- Year-old Female Seeking Admission

A part-time lecturer at the University of Lagos, Akoka, Afeez Baruwa, has been arrested by the police in Lagos for allegedly raping an 18-year-old girl, identified as Caroline (not her real name).
It was learnt that the victim, who was reportedly raped inside a study room, was seeking admission into the University.
Baruwa who was arrested by the Surulere Police Division on Monday, August 3 told the police in his statement that the sexual intercourse was by mutual consent, insisting that he did not rape the victim.
Caroline got to know the lecturer through her Dad because they both belonged to the same landlords’ association in the Abesan, Ipaja area.
It was gathered that the victim’s father had allowed her daughter to follow the lecturer on July 23, to UNILAG for an admission process.
According to reports, Baruwa allegedly took the girl inside one of the study halls, bolted the door, and raped her.
After the incident, Caroline, who told her parents about the rape, was taken to a non-governmental organisation, Mirabel Centre, where she was tested and the medical result reportedly confirmed that the teenager had been raped.

After the confirmation, Caroline was taken to the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender, where the matter was reported at the police station. Baruwa was subsequently arrested.
A police source in Surulere said:
“The suspect is actually a friend of the father of the girl. The girl had written the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, and she needed assistance with the post-UTME.
“So, the father sent her to meet and discuss with the lecturer.
“But, it turned out that on July 23 when the girl visited the suspect, he raped the girl in the study room.
“The suspect confessed to the act, but his claim is that the s*x was by mutual consent.”

The Director of the Office of the Public Defender, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, said the OPD would write a letter to the UNILAG Vice-Chancellor on the incident, so as to ensure that such did not happen again to anyone.
She said,
“The victim’s father wanted the lecturer to assist with his daughter’s admission. On the fateful day, the girl left with the lecturer as early as 5.30am, and they got to the school at about 7am.
“No one had arrived at the hall except a woman. While the exams had yet to start, he raped her. She went home, and the father found out that her daughter had been raped. He took her to the Mirabel Centre, which then informed the OPD.
“The centre also contacted the police at the Surulere and Isokoko divisions, and the suspect was arrested.
“We are going to defend the girl, and we are writing the VC. The suspect is said to be in the Department of Accounting. He claimed the s*x was consensual, but that is not a defence.”
Baruwa, who is currently in custody, will be charged to court on today, Thursday, Aug 6th.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the arrest.

She said:
“The suspect claims to be a part-time lecturer, but not an employee of the University of Lagos.
“He has confessed to the crime and the medical result proved same.”
