Banker arrested for forging WASCE and University results to gain employment

26-year-old banker, Daniel Makanjuola, has been arrested by the Police in Lagos for using a forged West African Senior School Certificate and Lagos State University’s statement of result to get a job at Wema Bank Plc, Marina branch,Lagos Island.
The police said Makanjuola pretended that he was a degree holder in marketing with Second Class, Upper Division, and had also provided a forged National Youth Service Corps discharge certificate and a reference letter to the bank before he gained employment. He claimed to have obtained the letter from United Bank for Africa, where he supposedly worked previously.
According to Punch, Daniel who is from Ijero Local Government Area in Ekiti State, had joined the bank in 2013, before he was sacked in July 2015 after the documents were confirmed to be fake.
It was gathered that the fraudulent act was discovered after WEMA Bank management had sent a verification letter UBA to to verify the authenticity of the reference letter. UBA was said to have denied any knowledge of Makanjuola and the letter.
After the discovery, the bank decided to write West African Examinations Council and LASU, to confirm the veracity of his documents but both exam bodies disclaimed the results Makanjuola had presented to WEMA
The suspect was arrested after the case was reported at the Lion Building Police Station.
After his arrest, the suspect, in a statement to the police confessed to the crime and explained how he obtained the forged certificates.
He said he made the fake documents because he couldn't get a job and he wanted to alleviate the poverty in his family.
ADVERTISEMENT
He said:
“I am actually a National Diploma holder. I secured the fake WASCE and LASU results, using a search engine and CorelDraw application. I scanned an NYSC certificate and used some applications to edit it. I did it in order to put an end to the suffering of my poor family. I am the only son of my father. I want the authority to be compassionate with my case. I was only trying to live a better life.”
A police prosecutor, Inspector I. Okeke, arraigned Makanjuola at the Tinubu Magistrate’s Court on three counts of forgery.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges before the presiding magistrate, Mr. A. Adefulire.
Adefulire granted him bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum. He adjourned the case till October 22, 2015.

University of Maiduguri Nigeria's cultures face extinction, youth lack cultural training — Don

Cultural values in Nigeria face extinction as youth increasingly adopt foreign ways of life, says a lecturer at theUniversity of Maiduguri(UNIMAID), DrBabagana Kachallah.


Kachallah, a research expert at UNIMAID's Centre for Trans-Saharan Studies, said most of the traditions and cultures of the Kanuri people and other ethnic groups in country will soon become extinct.

The don blame the development of the lack of cultural orientation of the youth who adopt foreign cultures, especially with regards to fashion and beauty values.
"Our youth do not have the basic cultural training and cultural orientation, to be seen as potential stake holders in our cultural struggles to build an independent society that depends on its indigenous local resources," Kachallah said.

"Today, we hardly see our traditional hairdo in Borno, the "Shangalti, the figgeria, kiliyasku, Hajja amne, rob and Mai Ali," which were some of the typical traditional attire used by our women.
"Most of our girls and ladies have adopted various hair styles of external origin, thereby giving way for our local hair to disappear.

"Our traditional cosmetics such as "Moromoro, grumbal and alaama, have all gone out of use and the women now patronize foreign cosmetics at high rate to sustain their beauty and feminine values."

According to him, there is a need to reorientation of the youths to reverse the influence of external cultures and the erosion of the local one.

Speaking at the unveiling of the program, MOFIS Founder,Mike Omotosho, said it was set up to help Nigerian students gain quality education abroad.
Omotosho noted that many Nigerian students have not been able to acquire the sets of skills and knowledge that is needed by employers due to the shortfall of admission spots available.
"We have over 1.5 million candidates apply annually for admissions into universities nationwide but only about 600,000 are admitted," he said.

"Some of these unsuccessful applicants become frustrated and sometimes, resort to crimes; hence the need for meaningful access to university education has recently become indispensable in Nigeria as a result of population increase and volume of awareness of the role of the university education in the development of the individual and the nation at large."

"The foundation is committed with her partners to walk our Youth through the right path, because we believe that access to quality education is the lifeline for a bright tomorrow."

All Nigerian students with at least 5 credits in their O Level Examination are eligible.
Mike Omotosho Foundation International Scholarship was founded in 2010.

Nigeria Union of Teachers Body seeks death benefits of 380 teachers killed by insurgents

TheNigeria Union of Teachers(NUT) inBorno, on Monday urged the state government to speedily pay the death benefits of teachers killed byBoko Haram.

The Chairman of the union, MalamBulama Abiso, made the appeal in an interview with theNews Agency of Nigeria(NAN) inMaiduguri.
He said that no fewer than 380 teachers were killed while about 33, 000 others had been displaced from their habitat by insurgency.

The chairman said the payment of the benefits would assist families of the affected teachers, who were experiencing serious hardship.
Abiso also canvassed the establishment of insurance cover for teachers in private and public schools in the state in order to boost their morale for higher productivity.
The chairman said the insurance cover would further encourage teachers to give their best in the service of their fatherland.
Abiso also appealed to government to consider extending the insurance cover to students in primary and secondary schools in the state.
He further urged the government to give priority to the welfare of teachers, pay their promotion benefits and annual increment for 2012, 2013 and 2014.
The NUT chairman stressed the need for the government to pay the balance of the salaries of teachers under paid due to biometric data problem and those whose salaries were stopped since 2011.
Abiso said the government should pay arrears of pension and gratuity of retired teachers.
According to him, the union has initiated programmes aimed at empowering and uplifting the living standard of teachers in the state.
"The union was able to secure 27.5 per cent allowance for all professional teachers across the state and completed the renovation of the NUT Secretariat.

"We also purchased plots of land through the" NUT House for All Teachers initiative’’ whereby we assist our teachers to own houses.
"Our Live and End Well Programme is also second to none, as funds are donated to teachers to assist and empower them to become self reliant," he said

University Lecturer Caught In Female Hostel Disguised With A Veil

A lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria was apprehended Sunday night at a private female hostel in Samaru, Zaria.

Daily Trust gathered yesterday that the lecturer disguised by wearing Hijab (veil) and attempted to sneak into the hostel before he was intercepted.

A witness, Khalifa Sha’aibu, alleged that, that was not the first time the lecturer wasentering the hostel to visit his girl friend.
Sha’aibu added: “The most annoying thing is the fact that the man used Hijab. As a Muslim, I feel sad that somebody would usesomething that women of faith are known with to perpetrate crime. I wonder why the man would not get a hotel room to perpetrate his immoral act. It was a vigilante member that noticed the structure of the man and exposed him.
After he was caught, we discovered that he has been entering the hostel with the consent of the girl. The owner of the private hostel had barred men from entering the rooms.”
It was further gathered that the lecturer was handed over to a team of army personnel that are manning a check point close to the university.
Daily Trust also gathered that the officers ransacked the lecturer’s house.
When contacted, Director of Public Affairs in the university, Dr. Ismail Shehu, said he heard something like that but that no official report has been made.
He added that when an official report is received, the university will take action.
“As you know, ABU does not tolerate indiscipline. Investigation would be carried out and both the lecturer and student would be punished accordingly. There is no doubt about that,” he said.

NUC Lifts Ban On Admission Into The Programmes Of UniAbuja

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has lifted the ban on admission into the programmes of the University of Abuja (UniAbuja) Centre for Distance Learning and Continuing Education (CDL&CE).

The university’s distance learning programme failed a revalidation assessment by the NUC in 2012, resulting in the ban on admission into its courses for nearly two years.

The lifting of the ban was in line with remarkable progress by the centre in addressing shortcomings that necessitated the ban. The Executive Secretary of NUC, Professor Julius Okojie, in a letter to the Vice- Chancellor of the University, Professor Michael Adikwu, dated October 12, said that the moratorium placed on admission into the university’s centre had been lifted.

The development, Okojie explained, was following a recommendation by a panel constituted by the commission for an on-site assessment, which concluded the exercise between September 2 and 5, 2015.
A statement yesterday by the university’s Deputy Registrar (Information and Publications), Waziri Garba, said that the commission approved that: “the moratorium on admission of students into the five (5) approved programmes be lifted and academic work may commence for 2015/2016 academic session.”
The five programmes approved to commence academic activities include B.Sc. Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Business Administration and Public Administration. The NUC boss advised the university to address other deficiencies pointed out in the technical report comprehensively before the expiration of the session. This, he said, will boost the Centre’s bid to secure full re-validation status for all the courses.
He added that a desk officer had been appointed by the NUC to follow up on the revalidation of outstanding deficiencies to ensure success. Commenting on the development, the Vice Chancellor UniAbuja, Professor Michael Adikwu, and the Director of the university’s Centre for Distance Learning and Continuing Education, Professor Peter Siyan, said plans were underway to reinvigorate the distance learning component of the institution with a view to regaining the confidence of critical stakeholders.

University EducationJonathan's TETFund saved Nigeria from'brain evacuation'— Bogoro

Nigerian would have lost all the best brains to foreign countries if theTertiary Education Trust Fund(TETFund) had not been formed as an intervention agency by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Executive Secretary of TETFund, ProfessorSuleiman Bogoro, said this during an interview withDaily Trustin Abuja.

According to him, strikes by theAcademic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) led to the Fund's establishment, and better fortunes for education at the tertiary level.

"If the early ASUU strikes had not led to the establishment of TETFund and improved salary structure for lecturers, like someone said, there would not be brain drain, but brain evacuation," Bogoro said. "Nobody that sees himself, as an intellectual would have wanted to teach in Nigerian universities.
Bogoro said the Fund made the Nigerian institutions attractive enough to keep the best brains interested. "As a result of the sustained intervention and improved funding in our tertiary institutions, today we can afford to keep first class graduates in the system.
"Ten to 15 years ago, our first class graduates in courses like mechanical engineering, medicine would prefer to go into banking than teach.
"These were terribly negative signals that TETFund has helped nip in the bud."
He added that the Fund has over the years helped in training academic staff in the institutions.
“We have done a lot also in the area of academic staff development, by sending out this class of people to different universities within the country and abroad including Ivy League institutions, to better their lot, by acquiring masters and doctorate."
TETFund was formed in 2011 under the TETFund ACT, 2011, charged with the responsibility for managing, disbursing and monitoring the education tax to public tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Free Education In Nigeria Buhari may forget his campaign promise — APC lawmaker

There's a place where these two agree on one thing. That place doesn't exist. (Premium Times)

A lawmaker representing Kazaure Federal constituency at the House of Representatives,Mohammed Gudaji, has said President Muhammadu Buhari may forget that he promised to provide free education to Nigerians.

Speaking in Dutse, Gudaji said he felt the need, as a lawmaker and member of theAll Progressives Congress(APC), to remind the President of what he said during his campaign.

According to him Buhari's many engagement may cause him to forget, hence the need for a reminder.

"As you might be aware, things will be too much on our President as such he may likely forget with this vital promise he made of providing free education if voted into power," Gudaji said.

"There is urgent need to alert him so that parents will stop taking their children to private schools and end up paying exorbitant amount as school fees of their wards."

The lawmaker noted that free education would be a relief to parents because the cost of private education is very high

He however urged Nigerians to be patient for the expected change to happen.
It will be recalled that Nigeria's First Lady,Aisha Buhari, said education is the main focus of her husband’s government

Treasury Single Account ASUU questions Buhari's TSA policy, warns of implications

TheAcademic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU) has criticized PresidentMuhammadu Buhari's Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy, barely a month after theAcademic Staff Union of Polytechnics(ASUP) expressed similar concerns.

According to ASUU, the TSA could constitute bottlenecks in the smooth running of the Nigerian University System if hurriedly implemented.

President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nasir Isah Faggae (Edu Wheel)
Speaking during the National Executive Council (NEC) Meeting of the union held in Owerri, ASUU National President, ‎Dr.Nasir Isa Fagge, said the Federal Government must deliberate over the policy with university representatives to make is workable.

The TSA, introduced to block financial leakages and prevent mismanagement of government's revenue, unifies all government accounts through a single treasury account, enabling it to prevent revenue loss and mismanagement by revenue-generating agencies.

"There is no way any university can operate freely without having financial autonomy and the union will fight against any plans to deny us such,’’Fagge said.
He explained that the autonomy enables universities to make long and short term plans and taking it away will have consequences.

It will be recalled that, in mid-September, ASUP National President, ComradeChibuzo Asomugha, had advised Buhari to provide a special consideration for educational institutions in the country as regards the TSA.

University of Ilorin UNILORIN's admission process is not discriminatory — VC

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has dismissed insinuations that it discriminates in its admission process in favour of people from Kwara state, adding that it does not discriminate Nigerians from any part of the country.

TheUniversity of Ilorin(UNILORIN) has dismissed insinuations that it discriminates in its admission process in favour of people from Kwara state.
Speaking withDaily Trust, the Vice Chancellor of the University, ProfessorAbdulganiyu Ambali, said the intuition does not discriminate Nigerians from any part of the country.

Ambali said the regulations laid out by theJoint Admissions Matriculations Board(JAMB-) are strictly followed.
"It is an insinuation that we have to really educate ourselves on because the University of Ilorin is a federal government institution that has the rules and regulations governing admission by JAMB and we make sure that at faculty level, those that are going to implement that adhere strictly to the JAMB rules and regulations,"he said.

"There is equal opportunity for everybody irrespective of where they come from.

"In fact, the University of Ilorin is one of the few universities that pride themselves of having representation from all the states of the federation in terms of employment or admission."

Ambali explained that the guidelines are followed strictly in line with Federal character, even where it leaves some qualified candidates out.
"For example, our admission quota for Medicine is just 150 candidates for a whole class and when you share that among the 36 states each state gets probably five or four and when we have 10 people with 230 which is our minimum for medicine, the college will then take the best four among the 10.

"The college may take somebody with 230 from Osun and leave somebody with 236 from Oyo because there are other candidates who scored higher than that from Oyo."


"JAMB says if the quota is not followed accordingly, we will end up training doctors only from one state and before you realize it, the country will not be stable because you have greater manpower from one state of the federation than the others."

UNILORIN is one of the universities that receive very high number of applications.

Recently, Ambali said only 7,800 of the 65,000 candidates that sat for its Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will be admitted for the 2015/2016 session.

No UNIZIK 2015/2016 2nd Admission List, Says School Authority

Authorities of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) wish to inform members of the public, especially all UTME candidates who applied for admission into the institution for the 2015/2016 academic and did not see their names in the 1st batch/merit admission list that the institution will not release any general second list.

The Director of Information and Public Relations, Dr. Emmanuel Ojukwu who made this assertion, disclosed that the only pending list now is for Pre-science, affiliate institutions and Direct entry candidates.
He stated that there are fraudsters who are currently collecting some money from candidates promising them admission in the second list adding that it is criminal as there is nothing like that.
The PRO advised candidates to be properly guided as money lost as a result of payment to anyone, is such a person’s liability.
He urged candidates to report any staff of the University who extorts money from them for admission purposes atinfo@ unizik.edu.ng ordir_ipr@ unizik.edu.ng.

UNILORIN At 40 University of Ilorin “needs more money” — VC

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali, has said the institution is in need of funds to execute important projects as it celebrates its 40th anniversary this month.
In an interview withDaily Trust, the Vice Chancellor said the university has a number of important projects it needs to execute.

"The university needs more money," Ambali said.
Vice Chancellor of UNILORIN, Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali (UNILORIN)
"I think that is the usual thing because we
have, in our plans, a few projects that we need to execute.

"For instance, we want a self-sell laboratory which costs some money because self-sell research is the state of the art research that needs a separate infrastructure, as well as the equipment to drive it."

He noted that the institution plans to be more financially stable and relevant to society in the coming years.

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AmbdulGaniyu Ambali
"I foresee a more buoyant University of Ilorin in a few years to come; a university that would be able to make more impact in the society and make more money for itself."

UNILORIN, located in the ancient city of Ilorin, capital of Kwara State, was established in 1975 as a University College affiliated to the University of Ibadan (UI).

National Youth Service Corps 30-yr-olds, part-time students eligible for exemption, exclusion certificate — NYSC

Nigerians who are over 30 years old when they graduate from the university are eligible for exemption certificates, theNational Youth Service Corps(NYSC) has said.

The Director, Press and Public Relations of the NYSC,Bose Aderibigbe, said this while speaking in Abuja on Tuesday at the unveiling of new certificates of national service.

Aderibigbe also stated revealed that students of non-regular institutions will be issued exclusion certificates.

"Those who qualify for the certificate of exemption are graduates who are above 30 years at the time of graduation or recipients of the National Presidential Honours Award," she said.

Director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs Bose Aderibigbeof the NYSC, Bose Aderibigbe (Premium Times)
