NYSC DG advises corps members on self employment after service

Brig.-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, the Director General , National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), advised corps members deployed to Kwara to take the issue of entrepreneurship seriously in order to be self reliant after service.
He gave the advice while performing the official foundation laying ceremony for a new NYSC office complex in Ilorin.
Represented at the occasion by the scheme’s Director of Human Resource Management, Rhoda Kwaki, Olawumi described the move as commendable.
He said that the new office complex, when completed, would not only save cost, but would also reduce the lingering accommodation problem NYSC was facing in Ilorin.
He then commended the Kwara NYSC Coordinator,Henry Enyenihi, for his initiative in commencing the building of a befitting secretariat in Ilorin.
Olawumi advised corps members to always look inward and engage in one skill or the other so that they could be self employed and employers of labour after their service year.
Earlier, the state coordinator had told the director general that he was compelled to embark on the project when on assumption of office in September he met two quit notices on his table.
These, the coordinator said, were the NYSC annex in Fate, as well as his official residence which rent was due.
Enyenihi said that the building project was being financed by a consortium of banks such as Ecobank, Access Bank, UBA, First Bank, Bank of Agric, Sterling Bank and Zenith Bank.
He commended the management of the banks for their cooperation with NYSC in the state and called on other partners to come to the aid of NYSC to complete the building.
The coordinator said the building was scheduled for inauguration on or before May 2016.
He added that the architectural drawings and designs, structural engineering drawing, as well as Bill of Quantity were produced by serving corps members.
Reports furthered that NYSC was sharing office premises with Public Complain Commission, Quality Assurance Bureau on Ahmadu Bello Ave, GRA Ilorin.
In his goodwill message, the state’s Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Alhaji Bolakale Ayo, commended NYSC and the banks for the project.
He urged youths and corp members to key into the change agenda of the Buhari administration and engage in entrepreneurship ventures.
He said “you should always look inward for what you can do to be employers of labour, think of what you can do to contribute to Nigerian economy.’’

Success And Academics How to graduate with a first class degree

So, you finally got admitted into a University to study hard for the next few years. You are determined to make the best our of your time there. You want to be bestowed the highest honors. And you wonder if there are any tips/tricks you should be aware of.
Below, we take a look at the things you need to graduate with a first class degree in the course of your choice.
Your Attitude: It is easy to dream about graduating with a first class degree, but most people do not have the right attitude for it. Students do not just accidentally graduate with top honors. You have to really want it. You have to desire it and you have to stand firm in your belief that this is what you want. This means planning, organisation and not leaving your assignment until the day before. You need this conviction because, there will be times you will want to deviate from plansin the course of your time in school, so you need to be sure that you have absolutely no other option than to graduate with a first class. Think about the reasons you want to get a first, write them down and stick them on your wall. Whenever you feel like crumbling they’ll stare at you.
Research: If you have the attitude of ‘I’ve been to my lectures and seminars, I’m done’, then you may as well quit now. You have to make an effort and you do that by digging out books, searching for journals and articles and searching the famed world wide web. To get a first class degree you have to read around your topic (outside of the reading list) and interpret the ideas for yourself – always be critical as while your lecturer may not agree it shows you are driven by the subject. The majority of students who achieve firsts will spend hours and hours researching and pooling together critical opinions with their own thoughts.

Library: Don’t just rely on the internet as a source of all wisdom; the best students will use a range of different sources from ancient textbooks to online journals. First-class assignments use critical sources wisely. Understanding the critics and making a decision whether you support or oppose their views is extremely important.
Your Presentation:A large proportion of students miss out on a first class degree simply because of their presentation skills. Correct spelling, punctuation and grammar are vital as they act as the cement which glue together a well-written sentence or paragraph. Don’t forget that writing style is worth an extremely large chunk of your degree mark.
Your Teacher: Arrange a meeting by email or after a seminar and be prompt. If you have had results back from previous assignments marked by them, take them along and ask them to go through any improvements you can make to your writing or ideas. Make sure you question them about any single query, no matter how trivial it may seem to you. Now, you do not have to literally badger your tutor as it might get you into trouble but you should always ask questions and spend a lot of time with your tutor during the whole semester. Even if you are not a hard workerthey’ll probably assume you are if you’re constantly getting in touch.
Attend Lecture:Turning up to all – yes all – of your timetabled hours is the very least you should be doing to get the most out of your degree. While it may not seem the most inviting prospect at 8am on a rainy Wednesday morning, it’s the very minimum you need to be doing.
Study:So, studying at university is a bit of a given, but we mean this in a literal sense. Lying at home in your bed, or even just sitting at home in your PJs, is not conducive to a good work ethic. Even if you don’t know it yourself, your brain connects certain environments with certain scenarios. Bed = sleep, library = study. Get up, get dressed and get down to the library right now. Yes. Now.
Your Passion:The whole point of doing a degree should be your passion for the subject, so this shouldn’t be too tricky While not every assignment is going to thrill you, try and choose a topic you have a connection with. You’ll definitely be more inclined to spend time writing the aforementioned essay and the best assignments ooze a level of enjoyment on the part of the writer. You’re also much more likely to impress prospective employers if you’ve spent several years honing a specialism that you have a passion for.
Your buddies:No matter how good your motivation, there will always be days when you need a kick up the backside Socialising with people on your course will not only make hard work significantly more enjoyable, but also help you come across new ideas and approaches. No matter how hard you study, people will always have a different take on stuff to you and can offer help with any tricky problems.
Take a break: If you don’t make space in your study diary for a little down time, you’ll burn up or just procrastinate even more. Make sure to schedule some time in for things you enjoy.
People who take the time to read and follow these tips should end up being much more engaged and committed to their studies, so you’ve made a good start.

LASU Varsity re-issues Chairman's withdrawn certificate

Lagos State University (LASU) management has re-issued the siezed PhD certificate belonging to Dr Adekunle Idris, Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), LASU chapter and Dr Mufutau Yusuf.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) disclosed that Idris made this development known on Monday, at the University main campus in Ojo.
The certificates were re-issued on Dec. 3, after a thorough investigation by an ad-hoc committee of the council, headed by the Pro-Chancellor, Prof. Adebayo Ninalowo.
The re-issued certificates read: PhD Business Administration while the withdrawn Certificates read: Business Administration (Marketing).
“What was done was simply removing the marketing in bracket, rather than withdrawing the certificate as was implemented by the administration of the former Vice-Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa’s adminstration.
“The decision of the council vindicates our Dr Idris and Dr Mufutau.
“It also vindicated the position of ASUU on this unnecessary crisis created by the unjust, draconian, clueless and repressive administration of Obafunwa and his cronies,’’ Ninalowo said.
Dr. Adekunle Idris graduated in 2012, and the PhD certificate was signed by P‎rof. Obafunwa but was apparently withdrawn to distract the union’s leadership following a crisis with the union.
READ: Union to sanction 3 erring LASU members
He said the re-issued certificate was, however, signed by the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Fidelis Njokanma.
According to Idris, the PhD thesis was supervised by Prof. Ade Oyedijo, LASU, Dean, Business Administration and the then Coordinator of the PhD programme.
He said Prof. Ben Oghojafor, former Dean, Business Administration, University of Lagos, was the external assessor of the thesis.
“The university through the School of Postgraduate Studies had directed Oyedijo to investigate the certificate and write a report.
“Oyedijo had written a one man report which did not go through the department ‎or faculty, stating that the certificates had error.
“He recommended that it should be withdrawn, without specifying that it should be corrected and re-issued, while the Post-Graduate (PG) School in recipient recommended that it should be corrected and re-issued.
“The Senate 17 members out of 87, decided and approved the recommendation of Oyedijo without considering that of the PG school,’’ he said.
Idris hailed the courage of the 10th Governing Council headed by Prof. Ninalowo‎, to speedily resolve the issue.
“The commitment shown thus far by the members of the Governing Council was unprecedented.
“The union is appreciative of the zeal thus far shown by the Governing Council to tackle the myriad of problems on ground,’’ he said.
NAN reports that LASU Senate under the former Vice-Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa had withdrawn 19 PhD certificates over what the management termed error in the title of the certificates issued.
17 of the 19 certificates were later re-issued.

WAEC Group to sue exam body

TheExam Ethics MarshalsInternational is reportedly suing the West African Examination Council (WAEC) for not divulging the names of officials aiding and abetting examination malpractice.
Leadershipreports that the group is demanding that WAEC release the names. It was previously reported that the exam body sanctioned examination administrators who aided and abetted malpractices between May 2013 and December 2014.
The group filed the suit with registration number FHC/ABJ/CS/487/2015 through its lawyer,Mr Jeremiah Akahazemea,demanding for the names of the invigilators, supervisors and the students for prosecution.
Akahazemea asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to compel WAEC to release this information as it would assist the group in achieving its objectives.
The lawyer said that non-disclosure of the culprits made it impossible for education stakeholders, institutions and the public to carry out their civic duties.
Specifically, the group asked the court to compel WAEC to produce its officials that supervised the May/June 2013, May/June 2014 and Nov/Dec 2014 WAEC examinations.
It said this was in line with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

The president, represented by Executive Secretary,National Universities Commission (NUC),Prof Julius Okojiedescribed universities as potential, powerful agents of change and urged them to take the lead in championing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address education-related issues for national development.
According toTheNationreport, Okojie described universities as potential, powerful agents of change and urged them to take the lead in championing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address education-related issues for national development.
He urges students to fight against corruption which negatively impacts the educational sector.

“Government is determined to fight corruption at all levels, including corruption in our tertiary Institutions. We cannot speak of effective and efficient funding of the education sector if our universities are mired in curses, confusion, fraud and lack of institutional vision,” he said.
He also encouraged the graduands to turn themselves into employers of labour.

“Since the increased advocacy for entrepreneurship and its inclusion in the curriculum of universities by the National Universities Commission and its partners in the university system, higher institutions should henceforth strive to graduate students who are entrepreneurs and employers of labour.”

This is in relation to the reports that the students have refused to go on the mid-semester break as directed by the authorities. The management, in a bid to curtail the protest action by the students, had directed that the school be shut down indefinitely. The students were reportedly protesting the terrible state of hostels in the school, among other problems.

ASUU Union to sanction 3 erring LASU members

TheAcademic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU),Lagos State University(LASU) chapter, says the three erring members of the union who refused to appear before the disciplinary committee will be sanctioned.
DrAdekunle Idris, ASUU-LASU Chairman, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday ‎in Lagos that the union was awaiting the report of the disciplinary committee before taking appropriate action.
NAN reports that ASUU-LASU had on Nov. 20, invited Dr Tajudeen Olumoko, a former ASUU-LASU treasurer, Mr A.S.S. Asokere‎ and Mr O. Aiyeniko to appear before the Ethics and Disciplinary committee.
A copy of the ‎public notice obtained by NAN said the invitation was to avail the trio the opportunity to verbally defend themselves in respect of various anti-union activities levied against them.
"In line with the constitution, this is to avail you the opportunity to verbally defend yourself.
"With respect to the allegations levied against you for which you had earlier been given an opportunity to explain in writing,’’ the notice said.
Among the accusation levied against Olumoko was ‎writing to the manager of Wema Bank on a forged ASUU-LASU letterhead and directing the bank to freeze the union’s account.
Also, writing to the then Vice-Chancellor, Prof. John Obafunwa, to stop the entire ASUU-LASU dues, which made the VC to direct ‎the bursar to implement as such among others.
Asokere and Aiyeniko were accused of writing to the Vice-Chancellor as interim Chairman and Secretary respectively, claiming and informing him of the suspension of the Dr Idris-led ASUU-LASU executive.
They were also accused of calling an illegal congress, sending out notices in the name of ASUU-LASU and writing the university administration to suspend deductions of ASUU-LASU members’ check-off dues among others.
According to Idris, the trio did not appear before the committee, following the invitation and so must face disciplinary action.
"We are waiting for the report of the ethics and disciplinary committee, which will be presented for modification and ratification at the ASUU-LASU Congress ‎on Dec. 7,’’ he said.
Idris said that following the congress ratification, the report would be forwarded to the Zonal Council and then to the National Executive Council (NEC) for appropriate sanction.
According to the chairman, the sanction for such offences in ASUU law is usually suspension.
"ASUU constitution is ‎clear on the sanction for such offences and normally, it is suspension from the membership of the union,’’ he said.

Federal Government 'We will not spare VCs who cannot maintain peace on campus'

TheAcademic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)has warned that it would not spare Vice-Chancellors who had not done enough to ensure peace and stability in their institutions.
According to NAN report, National President, Dr Nasir Fagge has said that some Vice Chancellors do not perform their duties satisfactorily - one of which is that they should ensure peace in their institution.
He added that some VCs would rather create confusion among staff and other unions.

Fagge then pointed fingers at VC of Lagos State University, saying that the current crisis is due to the overzealous vice-chancellor wanting to destroy the institution.
“We had a situation where all the trade unions on campus had to rise up and fight the then vice-chancellor to a standstill,’’he said, in an interview with NAN.

“We are happy that the Lagos State Government, which cherishes and knows the need for stability in an academic setting, had to intervene.

“With that vice-chancellor out now, we equally hope that his successor will be able to turn around the plight of the institution for good so that it begins to move to higher pedestal.’’

Fagge also mentioned that the problems facing Ladoke Akintola University of Technologyas one that is caused by the institution having 2 masters.

“They rather find it convenient to pass the buck on each other as regards the plight of the university.

“We believe that the two visitors must have to sit down and decide the fate of this institution so that should anything happen to the university; one will know where to trade the blame.

“We as ASUU will not sit back and watch any person or group of persons destroy what government and other critical stakeholders are toiling hard to build in the interest of our children,’’ he warned.

10 Reasons Why This Generation Is Losing The Ability To Be In Love

Ever wonder what our generation will be known for in the decades to come? I ponder the question regularly.
There are so many great things we could be remembered for, but if history has taught us anything, it’s the negative that tends to last the test of time, not the positive.
My greatest worry is our generation will be looked at as the generation that gave up on love. We date for the sake of dating. The generation that forgot how to love — which is ridiculous. Most people have never had a good understanding of love, just a poor interpretation of it.
Generation-Y seems to be the first generation moving away from conventional takes on romantic, loving relationships.
The only question that remains is whether we’ll be remembered for being the first generation to accept a more logical and rational take on love or the generation that gave up on it altogether.
I guess you’ll be the one to decide.
1. We care more about instant gratification than we do anything else.
The most common trend amongst Generation-Yers is our need for instant gratification. We grew up and continue to thrive in a culture that allows us instant access to just about anything.
If we want food, we have it delivered with the click of a few buttons or we walk a block or two and grab dinner. If we are bored, we have endless distractions in the form of phone apps. If we need directions or a question answered, it only takes us a couple of seconds.
Such convenience is entirely a modern-day perk — previous generations never experienced anything even remotely close to it.
The problem is instant gratification is addicting and often becomes a habit, a habit that tends to seep into our love lives.
Love isn’t meant to be experienced in an instance, but in a lifetime.
2. We’ve built a culture driven by drugs and booze.
This goes hand in hand with our culture’s need for instant gratification. Drugs and booze are the most common form of self-medication.
When we feel sad or unhappy, we go out for drinks. When we’re stressed or unable to handle our lives, we may turn to more intense substances. Of course, not everyone drinks alcohol and/or does drugs, but it is a trend among our generation.
Drugs and alcohol often end up being love’s worst enemy. These substances give us the illusion of an alternate reality — a reality in which our emotions are heightened, and the love we experience becomes exponentially intense.
Unfortunately, all this does is confuse us, making us believe love is little more than the feelings we experience. Nothing could be further from the truth.
3. We sleep around — a lot.
Some less than others, but most individuals have multiple partners every year. Don’t get me wrong, I like sex just as much as the next guy, but sleeping around ends up leaving us feeling empty.
It starts out feeling exciting and gratifying, but ends up making us feel even more alone. Worse yet, it makes finding someone to love infinitely more difficult. You’re wasting your time with people who mean nothing to you and, to top it all off, you are likely to turn sex into a sport.
When that becomes the case, good luck trying to make love. Good luck enjoying sex when sex is no longer a special or unique experience, but just another trivial evening.
4. We’re becoming even more egocentric.
Every individual in the world is egocentric; we all think about our needs and ourselves first and foremost. Whether this is good or bad doesn’t really matter; the world is the way it is. It’s part of human nature.
The problem arises when our egocentricity overtakes our ability to feel empathy. As human beings, we have no choice but to live and function within society, within communities of different sizes.
Relationships are really nothing more than granular communities. When we focus on only ourselves, our needs, our wants and desires, the needs of the others in our community get overlooked. When this happens in a relationship, it all begins to fall apart.
5. We date for the sake of dating.
It’s become a sport — a favorite pastime among Millennials. We date because we believe we’re supposed to date. We’re supposed to find someone to fall in love with and spend our lives with, and we are under the impression that the best way to go about it is to date as often as possible.
This backwards logic brings about countless horrible relationships that never ought to have been in the first place. Every time you date someone who isn’t right for you, you’re giving up your chance to meet someone who is. Same goes for the rest of the world.
6. We aren’t fans of making compromises.
We like to have things our way, always. Why wouldn’t we? If we can have it our way, why would we settle for anything less?
This logic makes sense until we find ourselves in a relationship. When we’re a part of a relationship, we are only a piece of a greater whole. What we want and need is not nearly as important as what the relationship needs.
And what the relationship often needs is for you to compromise. So you’re left with a dilemma, which is fine, as long as you accept that compromises need to be made. Once we no longer accept that as a necessity, we will lose the ability to create a loving relationship.
7. We believe in fairytale endings.
What was our favorite thing to watch growing up? Most people our age will say Disney. We grew up on Disney movies and learned all about love through the stories they told — or at least I did.
The problem is such movies are incredibly inaccurate and often end up doing more harm than good. They create impossible expectations — expectations that always leave us disappointed in the end, not to mention confused.
How could you not question your love for someone when your story doesn’t line up with what you believe defines a happily ever after?
8. We’ve been fooled into believing perfection is attainable.
It’s not. Never has been, never will be, and yet, we are all looking for that perfect individual. We are all looking to become that perfect individual. Sadly, we’re all going to fail, and it’s going to suck.
No matter how unrealistic our expectations are, the disappointment we feel when they aren’t achieved is very real.
The grass always seems greener on the other side. But who the hell told you to look for greener grass?
9. We’re goal driven, but often forget to include our partners in the mix.
I love the fact that our generation is really the first generation to put the focus on the individual, allowing for personal growth and development. I’m proud our generation is the first generation that believes working for ourselves is better than working for someone else.
Having dreams and setting goals are both incredibly important; however, what’s more important is setting the right goals. We need to understand the difference between the things and individuals in our life who hold value and those that do not.
Sadly, this is an area in which our generation is greatly lacking. Most of us put off finding someone to love until after we get the rest of our life together. Not sure why no one realizes finding a partner is the most important piece of the puzzle.
10. Most of us are really bad at loving.
Love is confusing. It has layers and is mutable, changing over time and changing with each new partner we let into our lives. Love is so incredibly complex that most people simply haven’t been able to get a grasp of it.
It’s nothing to be ashamed of, but it is reason to worry. The real question is: Are we getting better or worse at loving? That’s a question I’m not able to answer, but I fear it maybe the latter.
Of course, each individual is different in his or her understanding, but most people seem to be incredibly lost. The issue is if we don’t come to understand love better — its purpose, its boundaries and its shortcomings — we will never be happy.
That’s nothing short of fact.

Beware! Using a CONDOM is pointless if you do these 9 things During S*x

While only abstinence can give you 100% protection from STDs and STIs, proper use of the co ndom can give you as much as 98% and keep yousafe. But, if you do any or all of the things listed below, you only wasted your time!
Using a co ndom is one of the best ways to have s ex safely – with up to 98% efficiency.
Not only do they help prevent pregnancies, they protect from s exually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and s exually Transmitted Infections (STIs).
co ndom use is now a norm.
However, the truth however is that co ndom is only useful and effective if it is properly used.
This means a person may get 0% protection even though they used a co ndom – they simply did not use it right.
Therefore, if you do any or all of the things listed below, you only wasted your time:
You store the co ndom in your pockets/wallet. Where you keep a co ndom matters. In your wallet or pocket, it can get compromised because of the regular friction and warm temperature.
You used it beyond expiry date. Like every other thing, co ndoms have expiry date and they offer little or no protection after that.
You use your teeth/sharp object to open the wrapper.Your teeth can cause a tear in the co ndom. The packet should be opened with your bare fingers.
You wear it after gen italcontact. The best thing to do is to wear your co ndom before any genitalcontactto protect you from other fluids like pre-c um (men) and va gina fluids.
You wear it too tight on your pen is. When you wear a co ndom, leave a small space for ejac ulation and sp erm collection at the tip. This will prevent leakage and rupture of the co ndom when you ejac ulate..
You wear the wrong size. The wrong size means the co ndom is either too small or too big. Neither is good because the co ndom can tear, leak sp erm, or fall off inside the va gina.
You touch the co ndom with sp erm. If you touch the co ndom with a hand that you have previously used to touch sp erm, you have compromised it. So remove it and wear another.
You do not roll up the co ndom totally. The co ndom should cover up your pen is to the base, near your scr otum. So roll it up totally, until you reach the ring.
You use reuse a used co ndom. Once a co ndom is taken off, after ejac ulation or after an initial attempt to wear it, take it off, and get another one. Never reuse a co ndom.
While only abstinence can give you 100% protection from STDs and STIs, proper use of the co ndom can give you as much as 98% and keep yousafe.
So ensure that you are as conscious about how you use it as you are about actually using it.
Have s ex, have fun, but stay healthy.

A three-year-old toddler, Haliya Abolore, has died in the Gbagada area of Lagos State after she was allegedly made to sit on a hot water container by her class teacher, identified only as Maryam.
It was learnt that Haliya, who was a kindergarten pupil at a private school on Idoluwo Street, Dosunmu, Lagos Island, was allegedly made to sit on the container on Wednesday, October 21.
The toddler ended up having burns in her buttocks and private parts, and was rushed to the Lagos Island General Hospital for treatment.
It was gathered that the matter was reported at the Adeniji Adele Police Division, while the teacher- Maryam was arrested.The school proprietress, Mrs. Bose Shomoade, was also said to have been invited for questioning by the police, and forced to make part payment of the treatment expenses.
After two weeks, the little girl was moved to the Gbagada General Hospital, for further treatment where she died on Tuesday.
Speaking withPUNCH Metro, Haliya’s father, Abolore, said he took the incident as a mistake on the part of the teacher, who knew the container had hot water, and made his daughter to sit on it.
He said:
“She was first taken to the Lagos Island General Hospital. Later, she was taken to the Gbagada General Hospital. We have spent about N300,000 on her treatment. The proprietress gave us N5,000 on the day of the incident. One week later, she visited the girl. She gave some money to my wife’s mother.
“The school teacher has been arrested and detained after the matter was reported at the Adeniji Adele division. The teacher was careless. He knew the container was used to keep hot water and she still sat her on it. All my daughter’s private parts were burnt. She was asked to sit on a container containing hot water.“My wife is distraught. She has been taken to our family house in Kwara State. Haliya is our jewel. We are so sad to lose her.”
The Coordinator, Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Mrs. Lola Vivour Adeniyi, said they had written to the state Ministry of Education to investigate the school.
She said:
“It is sad. The abuse of the three-year-old occurred when she suffered horrific burns. She was made to sit on a container of hot water in her school. We have just been informed that she died on Tuesday.
“Apparently, she stopped responding to treatment and the pain was too severe. We have also informed the Ministry of Education about the incident.”
A doctor in the hospital, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “The girl died due to complications from the burns.”

Poly Students Urges FG To Stop HND/B.Sc Dichotomy

The newly elected president of the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) Olugbenga Adeyeye has called on the Federal Government to put an end to the discrimination between polytechnic and univer­sity students concerning their cer­tificates obtained upon graduation.
He made this call on behalf of others during his inaugural cer­emony at the Federal Polytechnic Bida, Niger State recently.
Adeyeye disclosed that the fed­eral and state governments’ at­titude to polytechnic graduates is embarrassing, adding that this is borne out of ignorance regarding the place of polytechnic education to the overall technological devel­opment of the country.
“The 2005 promise made by the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo to end the disparity be­tween Higher National Diploma (HND) and Bachelors degree (Bsc) is still a disturbing issue as the dis­crimination is still affecting poly­technic graduates anywhere they find themselves,” he said.
The new president reaffirmed his administration stance against continuous disparity between hold­ers of the two certificates in the la­bour market.
He argued that the disparity had hindered career progression of HND holders in the core civil ser­vice.
Adeyeye however appealed to the government to abolish and prohibit dichotomy and discrimi­nation between holders of the two certificates who studied the same or related courses.
He also demanded that the Fed­eral Government should invest more on technical facilities because it was the reason polytechnic was established.
“We will meet with the National Assembly to dialogue and if no posi­tive responses, the polytechnic stu­dent will carry out a peaceful cam­paign on the streets,” he noted.
In his remark, the Rector of the polytechnic, Dr. Dzukogi promised to support the students in any of the genuine course.
The outgoing President of NAPS, Mr. Ogbonnaya Sunday during his farewell speech re-echoed that the dichotomy was uncalled for and should therefore abolished without further delay.

Senate proposes 2-year jail or 2million fine for offenders of abusive statements on social media

ABUJA–A bill seeking a two-year jail term for any person who makes allegation or publishes any statement or petition in the newspaper, radio or medium of whatever description against another person, institutions of government or any public office holder, passed second reading in the Senate, yesterday.
File: SENATE CHAMBER
The bill also prescribed that anybody or group of persons who send any false text message or post false message on the social media against another person shall be jailed for two years upon conviction by the law court.
The bill, tagged: “A Bill for an Act to Prohibit Frivolous Petitions and other Matters Connected therewith”, sponsored by Senator Ibn Na’Allah, APC, Kebbi South, compels petitioners to accompany their petitions with sworn court affidavit, failure of which attracts a six- month imprisonment upon conviction.
But the bill provides for an option of N4 million for persons convicted of false newspaper, radio and television statements and N2 million for offenders of false phone text messages or messages on Facebook, twitter, Instagram, or WhatsApp.
“Where any person in order to circumvent this law makes any allegation and or publish any statement, petition in any paper, radio, or any medium of whatever description, with malicious intent to discredit or set the public against any person or group of persons, institutions of government, he shall be guilty of an offence and upon conviction, shall be liable to an imprisonment term of two years or a fine of N4,000,000.00”,the bill specified.
On the social media, the bill read: “Where any person through text message, tweets, WhatsApp or through any social media post any abusive statement knowing same to be false with intent to set the public against any person and group of persons, an institution of government or such other bodies established by law shall be guilty of an offence and upon conviction, shall be liable to an imprisonment for two years or a fine of N2,000,000.00 or both fine and imprisonment.”
The bill said it shall be an offence for any petition to be submitted without a sworn affidavit from the law court.
“Not withstanding anything contained in any law, it shall be an unlawful to submit any petition, statement intended to report the conduct of any person for the purpose of an investigation, inquiry and or inquest without a duly sworn affidavit in the High Court of a state or the Federal High Court confirming the content to be true and correct and in accordance with the Oaths Act.
“Any petition and or complains not accompanied by a sworn affidavit shall be incompetent and shall not be used by any government institution, agency or bodies established by any law for the time being enforced in Nigeria.
“Any person who unlawfully uses, publish or cause to be published any petition, complaint not supported by a dully sworn affidavit shall be deemed to have committed an offence and upon conviction, shall be liable to an imprisonment for six months without an option of fine.
“Any person who acts, uses, or cause to be used any petition or complaints not accompanied by dully sworn affidavit shall be deemed to have committed an offence and upon conviction, shall be liable to an imprisonment for a term of two years or a fine of N200,000.00 or both, “the petition read.
Senator Na’Allah, in his lead debate, during the plenary, where he sought support for accelerated consideration of the bill, said: “Our past has portrayed us as a society where by mere expedience of writing a frivolous petition against public officials, you can have their right abused by taking certain measures that practically took away their right of presumptions of innocence only to be found later that the petition, as strong as it appears, on the paper actually lacks merit.”
“This sometimes, lead to a lot of innocent and most times honest civil servants being taken away from the public service only to be replaced by the dishonest ones, which invariably lead to the draining of the public service of civil servants with the desired integrity to move this country forward simply on grounds of principles.
“As a nation with strong desire to move forward, this negative trend must be reversed, if only the desired objectives of the country,” he stressed. He added: “the bill which appears ‘sunset’ in its nature consists of four sections which in clear terms spelt out the punishment for frivolous petition, and what constitutes frivolous petition.
“The bill seeks to provide punishment for frivolous petitions by making sure that only credible and. Verifiable petitions are presented for public use. “The utility of the bill is to equally save the time for good governance and resources that go into investigating frivolus petitions.The bill would equally assist in shaping our negative thinking by elevating hard work over and above sychophancy and indolence,”he further explained.
“The question to ask is, whether having passed the Freedom of Information Act which gives unfettered access by the public information from government offices they would be right for this government to continue to waste valuable time and resources in investigating frivolous petitions from the same public and I am sure you would find no difficulty in saying no to the ugly situation,”he stressed, while soliciting support for its consideration.

Truck Crushed Poly Student To Death

The D.S Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic, Itori, in Ewekoro Local Government area of Abeokuta has been thrown into mourning following the death of a student who was reportedly crushed by a truck.

9ja school Gist gathered that, the victim, who was identified as Ahmed Oladimeji, was an OND 2 student of Business Administration of the institution.

It was learnt that the deceased was reportedly crossing the Expressway in front of the school, when he was knocked down and crushed by the truck.

A source told our correspondent that the victim was on his way to the school to collect his Industrial attachment letter in school when he met he was crushed to death .

According to the findings, the truck was on its way to Abeokuta when it crushed the victim, who probably was not aware that the traffic on both lanes had been collapsed to a single lane.

The students on hearing the sad news about the incident were said to have raced to the scene, but the driver of the truck had escaped.

However, they descended on the truck and set it ablaze. The students were said to have disrupted the traffic, which led to a gridlock.
The protesting students were said to have held up traffic for almost four hours, lasting from 11am till 3pm.

One of those caught up in the gridlock, Adesanmi Sunday said, “It was like a war zone, the students did not allow any vehicle to pass through. The students made bonfires on three different spots between their campus and Itori town.”

Some of them were said to have vandalised vehicles who defied their ‘no movement’ order.

The registrar of the institution, Mr. Bayo Ogundimu, who spoke to newsmen on the telephone confirmed the incident.

He said the victim had just completed his ordinary diploma programme and was heading school to collect letter for his Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme when he crushed by the truck.
He said, “The truck that killed him was coming from Lagos-end and heading to Abeokuta. You know many of those truck drivers are reckless.

“There was a trailer that fell around Itori-Wasinmi axis, and the traffic on both lanes were collapsed into one. It became one-way for those coming from Lagos, because they were facing those coming from Abeokuta.”

Ogundimu who expressed sadness at the incident said the school authorities rushed to the scene with an ambulance and was conveying the victim to the General Hospital, Ifo, but he died on the way.

“We tried our best to save his life but he died on the way to the General Hospital, Ifo,” he said
He said the appeal by the authorities of the school for the students’ to stop the protest fell on deaf ears.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, also confirmed the incident, and said the police had to later disperse the students with canisters of teargas, as they became violent.

He said, “We learnt hoodlums had hijacked the students’ protest. They were extorting motorists in the process, so our men had to disperse them by firing canisters of teargas.”

Students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN are getting even more agitated over the compulsory N75,000 levy being requested of them by the school management.

READ: Management, lecturers come to agreement over laptop fee
“As I speak to you, I’m helpless because my parents don’t have that kind of money. It is wrong for anyone to make computer ownership compulsory. It should be a matter of choice. The management should not use us to make money.”
The students have urged the Education minister to look into the issue.
“We are begging the minister to urgently intervene because they are turning this university into a marketplace.
“If the vice chancellor is interested in doing laptop business, he should find a market for it without placing such a burden on poor students.
“Some of our parents are leaving on N18,000 minimum wage; now they want them to pay N200,000 as school fees for one session. This is wickedness of the highest order. Computer ownership should be by choice,” another student stated

Once in a month, I travelled from Lagos to Owerri just to see her….Our love was so strong..But since inception of this year, things got pretty bad that I could not meet up with my routine travels to see her.

I Thought He Is A Friend, Now He Wants S*x For A Favour He Did

Dear Sir,
Please, how do I handle this situation, I am boxed in and I need your help. I have a male childhood friend, we have come a long way and we liked each other so much. We are neighbours and our parents and other siblings too are friends.
Sometime ago, while I was in 200 level in the university, I ran into a mess; I had to use my school fees to clear up the mess. When it was time for me to pay up my fees, I couldn’t tell my mother because apart from the fact that I couldn’t make up any story to take money from her; we lost my father.
Because of all these, I confided in my friend and he helped me to raise the money from his parents, I don’t know what excuse he gave them, because we attend the same school. He didn’t say he borrowed me, he said he gave me.
We are now in our final year, and for some time now, I have noticed a change in his attitude towards me; he is becoming unnecessarily close and he even asked that we date each other. I refused and explained to him that I have no such feelings for him and also the fact that he has dated two ladies that I know; one of them is my close friend.
I have always told him that I don’t have the time for dates and complications it could bring to my life now. Suddenly, he started asking for the money he gave me in 200levels. Knowing well that there is no way I can raise such money, I reminded him the fact that he gave me the money, he said he knew and that he wanted his money back or I should date and have s*x with him.
He is aware of the fact that I am a v*rgin, when I reminded him of this fact; I was shocked when he said that will be the best way to pay up my debt. I am sad about this situation and I can’t tell anyone. Please, help me, what do I do?

Why education is declining in Taraba, by researchers

TWENTY-FOUR years after its creation, public schools in Taraba State according to researchers, are still cup in hand begging for a face -lift from the relevant authority.
Several public schools at both primary and secondary levels, they observed “ are in dilapidated condition following government lukewarm attitudes towards the sector.”
The situation according to Raymond Enoch of the Center for Environmental Education and Development often made students and pupils from the state to come behind in national examinations and competitions.
The research sponsored by the Center for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) noticed that basic teaching aids like computers, rulers, diagrams, chalk board, current textbooks, registers, lessons plans, schemes of work and regular supply of lessons note books are no where to be found in the public schools.
The research, which was yesterday publicly presented to stakeholders in the state at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Teachers multipurpose hall in Jalingo, expressed dismay that 24 years after the state was carved out of the defunct Gongola State; several public schools are still operating from their “temporary sites.”
Even those that manage to relocate to their temporary sites, the researchers observed “ still lack basic school structures to support effective learning for both students and teachers.”
Like the government, parents and teachers organizations that ought to support community ownership and participation in the educational development of the state according to the research findings “ is also weak in terms of resources availability.”
Teachers’ training and refreshing courses which is a basic complementary service and incentive that enhance a quality educational performance of a teacher and a professional development in any society can have a huge gain, the researchers noticed that “ it is often not a priority to the state government.”
Adding that “ standard school system facilities like hostels for boarding students, staff quarters are left in the hands of schools managers of various schools, the scenarios, which they agreed further worsen their maintenance.”
Various stakeholders who made their minds known on the continual dwindling of education in the state also accused government of lack of political will.

I’m determined to fight corruption in tertiary institutions, says Buhari

PRESIDENT Muhamadu Buhari has assured that the problems being encountered in the tertiary education sub-sector as regards the implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) will soon be addressed.
President Muhammadu Buhari
He gave the assurance during the 27th convocation ceremony of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Ondo State.
The President said his attention was drawn to the resultant discomfort the implementation of TSA has caused in the academic and administrative activities in tertiary institutions in the country.
Speaking through the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof Julius Okogie, he explained that the TSA policy was introduced in order to enthrone financial discipline and curb corruption in the country.
The TSA was “introduced for a good cause and the issues involved in its implementation as it affects tertiary institutions are being addressed.”
The President reiterated the ‘zero-tolerance for corruption’ by his administration, saying he was determined to lead by example.
“We shall obey our laws and shall be transparent, accountable, just, fair and demonstrate integrity in all our undertakings.
“The leadership of this university should therefore, continue to be prudent, transparent and accountable in the management of both human and materials resources.
“Government is determined to fight corruption at all levels including corruption in academics in our tertiary institutions.
“We cannot speak of effective and efficient funding of the education sector if our universities are mired in crises, confusion, fraud and lack of institutional vision.
“I must at this point call on universities to be at the vanguard of the fight against corruption and eroded ethics, which constitute a major component of our societal ills.
“We must all endeavour as citizens and members of the academic community to enthrone the spirit of hardwork, honesty and inspirational leadership which are the hallmark of any citadel of learning.”
The President said the need for the diversification of the economy is ripe now considering the dwindling fortune of oil in the international market and charged universities to join hands with Federal Government in the onerous task.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof Adebiyi Daramola in his address said 4,435 students graduated with various degrees from the university with 28 of them having first class.

UNIUYO New VC might not be inaugurated due to sexual assault case

The outgoing Vice Chancellor of theUniversity of Uyo,Comfort Ekpo, has asked the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, to suspend the inauguration of Enefiok Essien as the new vice chancellor of the university over his indictment by the Court of Appeal for sexual assault.
According to report by PremiumTimes, 55-year-old Mr. Essien, professor of commercial law and current dean, Faculty of Law, University of Uyo, was billed to succeed Mrs Ekpo as Vice Chancellor on the 1st December.
Mrs. Ekpo, however, has expressed her worry in a letter to the minister which was dated November 17, 2015. In it, she informed Mr. Adamu about the “uneasy calm, tension and anxiety pervading the entire university community” because of Mr. Enefiok Essien’s nomination as the next vice chancellor of the institution.
In her letter to the minister, Mrs. Ekpo said, "The situation is consequent upon the widely publicized alleged fractured integrity of the Vice Chancellor-designate, Prof. Enefiok E. Essien."
“I most respectfully submit that the inauguration of the new vice chancellor slated for December 1, 2015 temporarily be suspended to provide a window for any reasonable grievances to be looked into by your ministry and council as may be deemed appropriate.”
She added that relevant provisions in the law could be invoked in the interim for smooth academic and administrative activities in the university.
Mr. Essien was indicted in 2005 by the Court of Appeal, Calabar, over a sexual assault case which took place in 1995.
Essien, then a senior lecturer, was accused by a student, Linda Onyebuchi Essell, of sexual assalt.
Essell, who was expelled from the UNIUYO in 1997 for Examination Malpractice, alleged that Essien framed her because she refused to have an intimate relationship with him.
In her affidavit before the Federal High Court, Calabar, Essel said, “Sometimes in April, 1995 around 1pm, Essien, after our lectures on Contract of which he was the lecturer, summoned me to his office. He told me that I had the last opportunity to redeem my career which was billed for a doom by expulsion if only I could accede to his simple love overtures which will take nothing from me."
It has been reported that by the time the petition came to reconsider Essien as prospective VC, it was too late to make the required changed.

Universities have been urged to stop admitting students coming in to study non-accredited courses.

On Thursday, theHouse of Representativeswarned universities against admitting students who intend to study courses that have not been accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

According to Leadership reports, the House also resolved that any Vice-Chancellor of a university found to be admitting students for non-approved courses should be sanctioned by the NUC.

A motion which was tagged,“Call on Nigerian Universities to Stop the practice of admitting Students into Courses not Approved by the National Universities Commission(NUC)” and sponsored by Hon. Samuel Onuigbo was adopted yesterday.

Onuigbo mentioned the practice by Universities of admitting students when they know the courses have not been accredited in their institution. This has made it possible for hundreds of prospective graduates to be stuck without degrees, leading to depression and bleak future.

He revealed that as many as 104 courses out of all courses being offered in about 140 federal, state and private universities in the country, are not accredited by the NUC.

“This practice is going to worsen the already explosive youth unemployment in the country by adding a large pool of unemployable and frustrated class of young people which is a sure recipe for youth restiveness and anomie,” the House noted.

Consequently, theHouse Committee on Tertiary Education and Serviceswas mandated to carry on inventory of all universities to ascertain approved or accredited, and non-accredited courses and establish why they are not accredited with a view to find a solution.
