FUTA Adopts E-Voting for the 2016 Students Union Election

Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA adopts electronic voting system for the 2015 / 2016 academic session Students Union election.
Election into various positions of the Students Union for the 2015 / 2016 academic session at the Federal University of Technology, Akure took a new dimension with the adoption of electronic voting system. The election which held at the Digital Resource Centre of the University on Thursday February 18, 2016 saw students vote candidates of their choice to various positions just by a click on the computer. Their identity cards was verified through a purposely designed card reader after which the voter proceeded to the voting area where they interfaced with programmed computers to cast their votes. After each vote a monitor at the control Centre recorded it and instantaneous tally of contestants score was displayed. The final result was ready as soon as the last student clicked on the computer to register his vote.
Dean, Students’ Affairs, Professor Kayode Alese said what informed the adoption of electronic voting system was because the University needed to showcase its leadership position in the area of cutting edge technology and research. According to him the process was very effective and an improvement on what other Institutions had done in the area of electronic voting. “Though other Institutions have adopted the process, ours is very unique because we made use of card readers. FUTA is the only Institution to have used card readers and we did not record any failure because we designed it in such a way that the contestant registered online and we have the record of registered students of this University”.
Speaking further, he said registered students on the University data base were the only ones allowed to vote thus any unregistered student could not vote as the card reader would have screened them out. “If you don’t have a valid identity card and your name is not on our data base you cannot vote” Alese stated. The don said that FUTA alumni designed the software adopted for the election at no cost. The card readers were customized for the purpose of the election.
Corroborating Alese, Chairman, Electoral Committee, Dr. Olutola Olubanjo commended the electoral process, saying the use of card readers really made the election process free and fair. It has also justified the University’s leadership position in technological advancement. Olubanjo said from start to finish, everything was electronic. “Students were accredited electronically through the use of card readers. Thereafter they proceeded to the voting proper using the computer which displayed the process to the candidates’ agents and security agents’. According to him, “It is a positive departure from the cumbersome old system of pen and paper. In fact it is innovative because no election in Nigeria has been done electronically. We commend management for this and suggest the adoption of the process for subsequent elections like Congregation and elections into offices in the Cooperative Societies”. Agents of the contestants expressed their satisfaction with the process which they claimed was a plus to the University. They also appreciated the management and the electoral committee for the innovation.
The Vice Chancellor Professor Adebiyi Daramola commended the electoral committee and the Students Affairs division for the adoption of the e voting system saying the University has once again validated its leading position in innovation and workable technology that the larger Nigerian society can benefit from.
The result of the election as announced in the presence of agents of contestants and security agents showed Oladele Segun aka Solar emerging President with a vote of 1,970.

UNIJOS Female Student Strangled To Death By Her Lover For Ignoring Him On Valentine’s Day

Melancholy report reaching 9ja School Gist Team has it that, a student of Psychology department, University of Jos, has been reportedly killed by a man believed to be her lover, for purportedly turning down his Valentine Day’s outing invitation.
The deceases simply identified as Miss Zakariah Nanchin was allegedly strangled to death by her lover, one Badung David Dele on Monday, the day after Valentine at her Angwa Rukuba apartment in Jos.
A source, close to the duo, said they have been in an intimate relationship for quite some time until a misunderstanding set in shortly before the last Valentine day.
According to The Nation, Dele was said to have reached out to Nanchin apparently to settle their differences and invited her out for Valentine. The deceased reportedly declined the invitation.
Nanchin allegedly felt that there was no basis for any dating between them having parted for some time.
Dele was said to have stormed Nanchin’s apartment the following morning and demanded an explanation why she failed to make the outing.
He reportedly grabbed her by the neck and strangled her to death after which he left the apartment and reportedly told a neighbour he met outside that he wanted to go and get some medicine for his ‘ill’ friend.
He was said to have given his phone number to the neighbour, a woman, and asked her to call him in case of any emergency.
Reports say the woman perceived something fishy had transpired, so she proceeded to Nanchin’s room only to find her lying down on her bed unconscious.
The woman, simply identified as Mama Joy, said “I called her name but she did not respond so I moved closer and I discovered that she was dead.
“I ran out, screaming to alert the people around.
“I was shocked that the boy managed to kill this girl without a gun.
“There was no blood on her body,” Mama Joy added.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Abu Emmanuel, said Badung was arrested on the same day.
“After some interrogation, he confessed to have committed the crime.
“We are making necessary arrangements to arraign him in court soon.”
Emmanuel called out to ladies, cautioning them to be careful who they date.
“Some of these boys are criminals and you might ignorantly fall into their hands like this girl,” the PPRO said, adding that the body of the deceased had been transferred from Bingham University Teaching Hospital to the Jos University Teaching Hospital JUTH for autopsy and relevant action.

Okada Crushes 300L BSU Student To Death (Photo)

The Benue State University, Makurdi community has been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of a 300L student of the geography department who was on Thursday crushed to death on his way from school.
Liveschoolnews.com.ng grapevine gathered that the student, simply identified as Samuel Agbajir was knocked down by a motorcycle, famously known as okada while trying to cross the road.
The incident, according to eyewitness happened on after the second gate of the institution when the deceased and his friends left school for home.
Late Samuel Agbajir
“He was rushed to the teaching hospital but the doctor confirmed him dead on arrival,” a source told our reporter.
This was contrary to the report that he was crushed to death while jubilating after graduation.
Speaking with our correspondent, a friend who gave his name as Ireogbu, debunked the claims that the late Agbajir was a member of the black axe fraternity who was killed while jubilating after graduation.
“People are just posting rubbish to get comments on social media. First, the late Samuel is a 300L student and not a fresh graduate. He was never jubilating as widely claimed. Samuel is not a cultist and has never been a member of any such group. He was a gentle, kind and intelligent guy. May his soul rest in peace.

Beware Of Fraudsters, OAU Warns Admission Seekers

The management of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, on Thursday called parents and guardians of candidates, seeking admission into the institution to be wary of fraudsters who parade themselves as our admission officers in the university.
A release signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the university, Mr Abiodun Olarewaju stated that one of such fraudsters who claimed to be the admission officer of the institution, identified as Omodele Taiwo had been arrested by the security operatives of the university.
According to the release, Omodele had already N600,000 from two parents seeking admission into OAU for their children.
It reads in part, “Omodele’s attempt N100,000 from his two victims, who are parents of the two candidates (names withheld) eventually led to his arrest upon interrogation, he admitted committing the crime and collecting the money, but blamed the devil for pushing him into the act”.
“In view of this, OAU management wishes to emphasise that we do not ask parents, guardians or candidates to pay for admission, nor do we ask them to pay into individuals’ bank account to secure admission,” the release added.
Accordingly, the university spokesman advised parents and guardians of candidates seeking admission into OAU not to be too desperate to be looking for shortcut, so that they would not be falling victims of fraudsters who disguises as admission officers.

It, however, proved to be much more than that, as she began to shout and speak languages alien to the ears. Students who were present poured water on her, she asked to urinate, which she did. After a while, blood was seen dropping from her nose and later her mouth. She was rushed to a hospital. The students who were there initially felt it was as a result of her actions under the alcohol’s influence, because during the course of her drunkenness, she threw herself on the floor and her friends tried frantically to hold her. She was later rushed to a hospital.”
Pelumi said Lara was confirmed dead at the hospital.

The corpse of Gbadeyan, was taken to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital mortuary by other students before the case was reported to the police at Igando division where investigation is ongoing.

Thedoctor in chargewas quoted as saying “She took excessive alcohol, which she apparently has not taken before; this affected the flow of blood in her brain”.

Omope Olawunmi,a 200 level student of the same department said: “What you cannot do at home, don’t do it in school.

It’s not a must you take alcohol at parties, you can take malt or yoghurt. Girls should also imbibe the culture of self discipline.”
Another 200 level student, Maryam Rasaq, said: “University students should not misuse their freedom. The fact that you are in a university does not mean you have the right to behave anyhow. We should try as much as possible to be disciplined no matter the temptations and peer influence.”

JAMB Condemns Fee Charged By Institutions For Change Of Course

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has described as illegal the amount of money charged by institutions as change of course fee

This was disclosed by the Head of Media and Information of the board, Dr. Fabian Benjamin in a chat with newsmen.

According to him, once a candidate registers for UTME he/she automatically becomes an applicant in all the over 300 tertiary institutions in the country.

He further stressed that this was part of the reason JAMB made provision for one preferred university, one polytechnic and one college of education in their application forms so as to broaden their chances of securing admission at any level.

Concerning the readiness of JAMB for this year’s UTME, he stated that the board would not leave any stone unturned to conduct a hitch-free exam far better than the last edition.

Meanwhile, for candidates who would like to effect changes in either their courses or institutions, you will be able to do that after you have sat for the exam and your result released.

Party Gone Wrong as one Lasu Student died and the other Unconscious

The 2016 Annual Award Night of the students of the Department of History, Lagos State University, turned tragic as a female student died while another one became unconscious after taking a mixture of different alcoholic drinks.
The two students, identified as Lara Gbadeyan and Oladipupo Arofeso, Sunday Tribune gathered, were both rushed to Igando General Hospital, where Gbadeyan was confirmed dead and Arofeso unconscious.
Sunday Tribune gathered that the deceased and the unconscious student had gone with their colleagues in the department to Igando, where the event took place.
Some of their colleagues told the police in the state that the duo took a mixture of Magic Moment (vodka), Elliot, Orijin and Smirnoff Ice at the event.
The two students were said to have started misbehaving “until some of their colleagues came to their senses that it was the effect of the alcohol on them.”
The misbehaviour from the two female students created confusion among their colleagues, who made frantic efforts to revive them, Sunday Tribune gathered.
But the situation reportedly became more serious as the two female students became unconscious, leading to their colleagues to rush them to the General Hospital in Igando.
A source at the Igando Divisional police station confirmed the incident to Sunday Tribune, noting that investigations had commenced on the incident.
The police source also told Sunday Tribune that the remains of the deceased student had been deposited at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for autopsy.
He also added that the other student had remained at the Igando General Hospital, where she was receiving attention from health workers.

National Youth Service Corps, NYSC fraud alert to prospective Corps members. PCM are warned not to make payments for posting or change of posting.

100-level medical students, parents protest in Unilag

Medical students in 100 level at the University of Lagos and their parents on Wednesday disrupted academic and business activities in the institution.
The protesters, who shut the university’s main gate, accused the university authorities of denying them promotion to 200-level.
According to them, the authorities introduced some new academic rules that have denied many of them from proceeding to the university’s College of Medicine, Idi-Araba to continue their programme.
The protesters also argued that the new scheme was to allow the authorities to admit diploma students to the faculty. The protesters alleged that the diploma students paid handsomely for the offer.
However the authorities said the professional bodies regulating the study of medical programmes in the country, introduced a fresh index system to regulate the quota allocated to individual university.
The UNILAG Head, Information Unit, Mr. Toyin Adebule, made this known in a statement on Wednesday night.
According to him, UNILAG authorities will not want to flout such directive, as those admitted outside the quota will not be allowed to practice after graduation.
The statement read in part, “This year, the professional bodies have insisted on the enforcement of the quota upon which accreditation is hinged and hence the college has had to conform.  What this means is that only students that are indexed will be registered by the professional bodies to practice after graduation.
“Senate at its meeting held on Wednesday, 27th January, 2016 had approved the implementation of the re-arrangement to conform to the professional bodies’ quota in order not to lose accreditation. This has regrettably meant that we have only been able to receive students into the college only up to the number the College of Medicine is allowed by the quota.
“We recognise and regret that this has led to some students being unable to cross over into the College of Medicine or their course of choice. Consequently, all candidates who were not successful to be placed in programmes in CMUL have been allocated to appropriate programmes on the main campus in Akoka.”

She maintained that technology was the way to go for Nigeria to diversify her economy, most especially at this juncture of our national history when the nation is giving serious attention to utilization of indigenous technologies and the instrument of science and technology as a potent strategy to diversify the economy to provide alternative revenue sources.
The project she said was conceived out of the need to address the increasing food insecurity which had become a major concern especially for children between the ages 5 and 13 who are mainly primary school children.

‘‘It is heartwarming that the Federal government of Nigeria is conscious of the need to provide adequately for the future generation through the National School Feeding Programme”adding that the programme will lead to increase in pupils’enrollment in schools; boost school attendance and child nutrition; enhance retention rates; promote general improvement in cognitive abilities of
children as well as catalyzing tremendous economic stimulus.

The HND biscuit is developed from indigenous crops which will be commercially produced domestically with this arrangement.

Elemo revealed that the choice of Nasco Foods Limited in this partnership was based on the company’s integrity and experience in the industry.

For her, the event signified the technical commencement of strategic partnership with Nasco Foods Limited to fully commercialize the High Nutrient Density biscuit production technology.

Similarly, the FIIRO DG said the agency was already working with other strategic partners to produce drinks based on our formulation to compliment the biscuit for effective- administration of the National School Feeding Programme.--- reporter Vanguard News

In Lagos Government to commence feeding of public primary school pupils soon

LASG to commence feeding of public primary school pupils soon – House C’ttee (kilogram)
MrLanre Ogunyemi, the Chairman,LagosState House of Assembly Committee on Education, said the State Government would soon begin to implement its "A-meal-a-day’’ programme in public primary schools.
Ogunyemi told the New Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos that the programme was a campaign promise of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
The lawmaker said that the state government was sincere about implementing it.
"I am aware that the state government is making efforts to dot all the 'I's and cross all the 'T's.
"We are sure that in a couple of months, the state government will start the programme,’’ Ogunyemi told NAN, while he commended the Kaduna State Government for blazing the trail regarding it.
He said that the Federal Government would collaborate with state governments to execute the programme.
According to him, the Federal Government will provide 60 per cent of the cost while each of the states will complement it by contributing 40 per cent.
He said the intervention of the Federal Government would alleviate the financial burden that the states might likely incur from implementing the programme.
Ogunyemi, however, debunked criticisms from some quarters that the funds meant to implement the programme should have been expended on providing infrastructure in schools.
He said that such infrastructure would be of good use when the children that would use them were emotionally stable to learn.
"What profit will it be if we put the infrastructure in place and the environment is conducive to learning but the pupils do not have the psychological, emotional and physical well-being to learn?
"All the requirements are interwoven thing: As we provide infrastructure for the schools, we must also see to the well-being of the pupils that will use the infrastructure in their schools.
"A child should be adequately and emotionally stable to be able to acquire and retain knowledge.
"A child, who is not well fed, who can hardly take one square-meal per day from the parent is bound to be frustrated at school.
"Such is not likely to imbibe knowledge,’’ Ogunyemi said.
The lawmaker said that the programme was a laudable one that would help the nation to produce a crop of responsible future leaders.
NAN recalls that Gov.Akinwunmi Ambodeof Lagos State had said that the government’s "A-meal-a-day” programme in public primary schools would start this year.
Ambode had said that the programme would improve the daily nutrition of children, create job opportunities, enhance income generation and alleviate poverty among others.

Afe Babalola University Crisis Struggling students protest not being allowed in exam hall

Some students ofAfe Babalola University,Ado-Ekiti,who were struggling with their academics and therefore banned form exam hall, have stageda violent proteston Sunday, February 7.
Chairman of the Planning and Implementation Committee ofAfe Babalola University, Professor Isaac Orubuloyeexplained the reasons behind the protest.
“The regulation of the university is that if you don’t attend classes 90% of the period, you will not be allowed to write exams. If you don’t register for examination, you will not be allowed to write exams.
“We have decided this time around to implement these policies to the letter. So, all students that ran afoul of these two provisions were denied from entering the examination and I think that is one of the remote causes of what has happened.

“Quite a number of them couldn’t write exams and there is no way they could explain to their parents that they were in school and they did not write examination.”
He also condemned the violent turn of events. He said that the protest was out of line as property worth millions of naira have been destroyed by the protesters.
“They went beyond ordinary protest. When people started to loot in the shops, then that becomes a crime – a serious crime.
“They looted some shops, damaged some vehicles and those things have nothing to do with their protest,” he said.
He, however, assured all parents and stakeholders to be calm as the situation was under control and calm has since returned to the university.

Nigeria: Ogun Gets Samsung Smart School

Lagos — The second Samsung Smart School for teachers situated within the Ogun State Model College, Abeokuta has been commissioned.

President Muhammad Buhari commissioned the school as part of the activities to mark the 40th anniversary of the creation of Ogun state.

This is coming shortly after Samsung opened its first Smart School for teachers in Abuja in December last year.

The Smart School for teachers in Ogun is the second of five to be launched in Nigeria, with others planned for Rivers, Delta and Imo states. This will result in a collective 10,000 teachers receiving training as primary beneficiaries, and a further 5,000 students impacted as secondary beneficiaries, over a five year period.

Managing Director of Samsung Electronics West Africa, Chang Wook Lee said the Smart School concept is implemented in urban schools with the infrastructure, but not the skills needed to use IT for teaching and learning.
