shocking-----Governor Wike sacks 344 Lecturers of the state owned Polytechnic

Governor Nyesom Wike of River state as with immediate effect ordered the sack of the 344 newly recruited staff of the state Polytechnic, Bori.

The sacked Lecturers were those the former Governor Rotimi Amaechi hurriedly employed at the eve of the expiration of his administration.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the institution, Innocent Ogbonnaya Nwanwo , said the government also directed the Rector of the polytechnic, Sir Obianko Worlu Elechi to proceed on compulsory leave.

Nwanwo said the sack of the newly recruited staff, as well as the directive on the Rector to proceed on compulsory leave was contained in a directive sent to the Polytechnic by the State Ministry of Education.

He said, “The recent employment exercise we had at the Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori has been cancelled. The reason is that the government needed to review the process of their employment. The process that brought in the newly employed people; don’t forget, they have not started work, has been called off; it has been terminated by the state government.

“Right now, they don’t have a job here in the Rivers State Polytechnic. Technically speaking, that is the truth. The Rector is on leave; he was asked to proceed on leave.”

One of the sacked lecturers of the institution, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said their recruitment, which followed due process dates back to September 2014.

He therefore urged, The executive governor Nyesom Wike, traditional rulers, the State House of Assembly to intervene.

Youths In Politics Many Nigerian youths just want to eat out of the national cake’

Politics today in Nigeria is dominated by the older generation. The way the political structure in Nigeria is today is too close circuited. It does not really allow for youth engagement. One thing is sure; Nigeria’s future lies with the youths not with the political parties.
The youths are supposed to be encouraged by the politicians to join politics. Instead they are even discouraged by the conduct of the politicians. Instead of these politicians seeing the interest of the youths and encouraging them to continue they would not do that. Thuggery is one thing they use the youths for during, before and after the elections. They make them see politics as a dirty game and use them for what they would not even use their children for.
These politicians prefer to introduce their children or close relatives to politics. They would convince them to join politics whether they are interested in it or not. Where as those that are interested in politics and have good plans for Nigeria are not always encouraged. It is only few of them that get there.
However, many youths have their priorities wrong because of what they see our leaders do. They want to get there just to eat out of the ‘national cake’. They believe they also need to have their own share of the ‘national cake’. If the youth that we look up to as the future of Nigeria no longer have the interest of Nigeria at heart, then the future is at stake!
We should try our best as youths to have the interest of Nigeria at heart. We should not only think of what Nigeria can do for us but also what we can do for Nigeria. We should think of ways we can make Nigeria a better place so that if we eventually become leaders in the future we will do better than other leaders who have ruled Nigeria. But my fear for the nation is that the youth are not promising if one looks at the way in which the affairs of the youths are being run. Students’ associations are now seen as avenues for dubious connections and money making. Youths of today now live on the premise of no ideology can suit the taste of the Nigerian situation.
Indeed, the youths of Nigeria have a greater role to play in order to make sure that things change for better. Truth be told, not these politicians who recycle themselves will bring about the change they profess if not we, I mean those of us who have not been infected with the evil and satanic ideology of taking out of the national cake.

In Lagos Graduate's head crushed with hammer, rock... becomes 3rd victim of street murder

A 30-year-old university graduate, Sodiq Shittu, has been gruesomely murdered by unidentified hoodlums in Mushin area of Lagos State.

Many Nigerian youth, especially students, are actively involved in CULTISM (Campus Waka)

A 30-year-old university graduate,Sodiq Shittu, has been gruesomely murdered by unidentified hoodlums in Mushin area of Lagos State.

According to aPunchreport, Shittu, who has a pregnant wife, was attacked on Lawani Street by hoodlums.

One of them split his head open with a hammer before another crushed his head with a large rock.

Reports say Shittu is the third person on the street to be killed in such attacks within three months.

A truck loader, identified as Gbenga, was killed in March for his political activities while a tricycle driver, Debo Oturu, was shot and killed during a visit to his mother on May 19.

A female resident of the area told Punch that the government has not done anything despite the continuous violence.
“In March, somebody was killed on the street. Less than three weeks ago, they also murdered another person," she said.
“And now, they have killed him. What did the government do?
"Or are they waiting for them to kill all the people in the area before they act?”"
Shittu's corpse was reportedly taken by Policemen from the Alakara Division and deposited at a mortuary in the Morocco, Somolu area of the state.

'Brother Bassey Raped Me' 27-yr-old trader rapes primary 6 pupil inside toilet

Rape is a deadly crime (Getty)

Police in Lagos have arrested a 27-year-old trader,Lucky Bassey, for allegedly raping his neighbour’s 12-year-old daughter.

Bassey and his alleged victim, a primary six pupil, are from the same village in Calabar, Akwa Ibom State, and reside in the same compound at Akilo Street, Bariga, Lagos State.

According to aPunchreport, the unnamed victim was using the toilet last Monday when the suspect forced the door open and sexually assaulted her.

The victim's mother later noticed that her daughter could not walk properly.
After interrogating her, she found out about the assault and reported at the Bariga Police Division.
Bassey was then arrested.

The victim told police that the suspect had warned her not to tell anyone of the incident or face consequences.

“I was in the toilet on Monday, May 25, around 8pm, when I heard a knock on the door. I told the person at the other side that I was using the toilet," she said.

“But brother Bassey forced the door open and closed my mouth to stop me from shouting.

“We were both standing when he raped me.

"He said I should not tell my mother about it or he would deal with me.”

The victim's mother said Bassey’s family members have asked her to forgive him.
“But I have told them it was no longer within my power and that the government has taken over the case,” she said.

"I don’t know why it will be my daughter of all people that he will do this to when there are many prostitutes out there that he can have sex with.”

The suspect has however denied the allegations.

“I don’t know what she is talking about because on that day, I did not enter the toilet as she claimed and I did not rape her,” he said.

The Police Public Relations Officers,Kenneth Nwosu, said the police have "arrested the suspect and he has been remanded in the Ikoyi Prison after being charged to court.”

Five Quick Tips To Help You Survive Final Exams

It’s time for the hard facts. Final exams are just around the corner and your study in the coming weeks will play a big part in your exam performance.

To make sure you obtain the best results you can, you should face these tests with a different approach to the assignments and projects you have taken part in during the course.

Take a look at the 5 study tips for finals below to help you come out of this challenge on top.

How to Survive Final Exams
Developing a positive mindset can act as motivational boosters and fight exam stress. There are ways you can encourage your brain to adopt this attitude to help you produce outstanding exam results:

1. Plan your Success Strategy
The final examinations are condensed into a few weeks. Once you start, it’s difficult to structure your preparation time. It’s crucial that you have a study schedule planned previously, bearing in mind the time you have available as well as the subjects you need to study.

2. Actively Review your Study Notes
Don’t just study the topics you have covered most recently. Finals exams include questions related to the entire subject and the exam questions will assess the overall ability of the student.
It’s important to master the foundation of the subject by covering introductory theory before advancing to deeper topics. Flashcards can help you understand key definitions and terms to build your base knowledge. Using these study aids will also allow you to quickly review your notes before the exams.

3. Reduce the Clutter
If you have to study previous topics again as well as cover new areas, you will start to wonder where you will get the time. The key is to reduce. Yes, you read that correctly, reduce.

This does not mean that you should remove topics or paragraphs at random. You should find a way to reduce the volume of what you have to study without harming your level of knowledge.

The key is to use Mind Maps. The trick with mind mapping is to use keywords and logically relate them in a way that your brain is capable of filling in the gaps. Your brain should be capable of developing a paragraph with sense for every node or keyword outlined in the map. Create Mind Maps with the free GoConqr tool, it’s free!
Here’s an example Mind Map to show you how to create a topic overview:

4. Strengthen your Memory Skills
Once you fully comprehend the structure and format of the exam for each of your subjects, you can develop a strategy to test yourself. For example, preparing for an MCQ type of test will require a different skill-set than essay answer format.
Engaging your brain in active recall on a regular basis enhances your learning and

We Won’t Call Off Strike Until Our Demands Are Met, ASUU Tells Taraba Govt

our The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) chapter of Taraba State University, on Tuesday gives Taraba state government conditions if the strike that has paralyzed academic activities in the institution would be suspended.

Chairman of ASUU in the university, Dr Reuben Jonathan who promulgate this to liveschoolnews.com.ng grapevine said that it would suspend its strike if the state government could provide money for it to clear the N100 million cheque issued to the union in March this year.


Dr Reuben Jonathan, who was reacting to calls by the government to call off its three-month-old strike, said government should not expect the union to call off its strike without receiving any commitment to their demands.

He noted that the immediate past administration issued a N100 million cheque to the union as part payment for their unpaid allowances but that the said cheque bounced.

Dr Jonathan, who said the union embarked on strike due to lack of sincerity and commitment on the part of the past government in the state, expressed willingness to suspend its strike if the present administration is ready to meet part of their demands while negotiation continues.

He urged the present administration of Governor Darius Ishaku to give priority to the funding of the university to enhance quality education, just as he called for improvement of staff welfare to enable them offer the best to the university.

He said insinuation that lecturers usually embarked on strike without regard for students welfare, was a gross misconception. He added that all the strikes they had embarked upon were for genuine reasons. 

How To Manage Examination Anxiety

Examination is a review of what has been learnt. It provides avenue for feedback and evaluation for placement, selection and promotion.

Anxiety on the other hand, is a psychological state of restlessness, normally associated with feelings of insecurity, loss of self-worth and inadequacy. During examination, students often experience high level of anxiety even when they know the materials well. Though, every individual requires a minimal dosage of anxiety as a pre-requisite for motivation impetus.

SYMPTONS OF EXAMINATION ANXIETY:
Insomnia/Restlessness, Inability to concentrate, Boredom, Increased Heartbeat,
Confusion/Intense sweating, etc.

HANDLING EXAMINATION ANXIETY:
Approach the examination with confidence: Use whatever you can to personalise
success; visualisation, taking to yourself, practice, team work etc.

Be prepared: Learn your materials thoroughly and organise the materials you will need for the examination. Allow yourself plenty of time. Strive for a relaxed state of concentration.
Get a good night’s sleep, the night before the examination.

Wishing all our students outstanding success in their examinations!

ASUU tackles VC over chairman’s suspension

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Owerri Zone has flayed suspension of its chairman, Dr Uzochukwu Onyebinama, by authorities of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike in Abia State.
ASUU said the suspension was unnecessary. But Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Hilary Edeoga, said the suspension of Onyebinama, as staff of the university was in line with rules guiding the university. He added that the suspension was based on recommendations of the committee set up to investigate allegations of examination fraud and misconduct levelled against him. He maintained that Onyebinama’s suspension had nothing to do with his role as ASUU chairman.
The union had at its congress resolved to take action against the university. The resolution was made known by the Owerri zonal coordinator of ASUU, Professor Ike Odumegwu, who lamented that the chairman was placed on half salary and banned from entering the campus.
Vice Chancellor of the university, Edeoga, Onyebinama did not wait for the outcome of the investigation before running to court.
“You don’t take the university to court, the rule says that if you are suspended you go on half salary,” he said.
The VC maintained that Onyebinama was guilty of examination fraud by awarding suspicious marks to students. He added that there were also allegations of incompetence and mismanagement against him as the Director of Continuing Education Center (CEC).
He said the problem started after Onyebinama was removed as the Director of CEC, adding, “They started writing all sorts of petitions even against the new Director, but I stood my ground that the right thing must be done.”
Professor Edeoga said the panel of investigation found Onyebinama guilty of dereliction of duty, abuse of office and deliberate breach of senate guidelines.

“In addition, the committee also found him guilty of insubordination, total disregard for constituted authority, inefficiency, negligence and dishonesty in the discharge of his official functions,” he said.

It’s Painful Expelling Students – UNILORIN Vc

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), has said that expelling students from the University for cultism or other anti-social activities is a painful but necessary action the University management occasionally takes to protect the lives and well-being of majority of other students.

He also said that as a citadel of learning and character – moulding, the University cannot afford to produce bad citizens for the society.
Prof. Ambali stated these last Friday (June 12, 2015), while receiving the new Director of the Kwara State Command of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mr. V. Duru, who visited him in his office.
The Vice-Chancellor also expressed satisfaction with the service the DSS has been rendering to the University in ensuring peace and stability on campus.
Prof, Ambali commended the new DSS Director in the state for his professionalism and clear understanding of the University.
Pointing out that the nation should be grateful for having such a professional outfit, the Vice-Chancellor said that “the DSS must be commended for showing great professionalism in managing the security affairs of the country”.
Maintaining that it is not easy to manage 35,000 students, who come from diverse backgrounds, Prof. Ambali called for the continued support of the DSS. “Through your cooperation, we have been able to maintain peace on campus and discipline among our students”, he said.
The Vice-Chancellor told the DSS Director that Unilorin has staff from the 36 states of the federation, adding that the University is desirous of improving the access of Nigerians to education without compromising the quality of education it provides.
Earlier in his remarks, the DSS Director Mr. Duru, commended the University for the stable academic calendar it had enjoyed over the years and promised to sustain the cordial relationship between the Service and the University.
Mr. Duru also advised the University on areas where security need to be beefed up, saying that a generally acknowledged peaceful campus like Unilorin is, ironically, a veritable target of trouble makers, who would naturally want to rock the boat. As a result of this, he advised the University management not to rest on its oars.
The Vice – Chancellor was joined to welcome the DSS Director by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Management Services), Prof. Yisa Fakunle; the Deputy Vice- Chancellor (Research, Technology and Innovations), Prof. Gabriel Olatunji; the Deputy Registrar (Academic), Mrs. Rebecca Okojie, who stood in for the Registrar; the University Librarian, Dr. Joseph Omoniyi; the Bursar, Mr. Saka Abiodun Yusuf; the Dean, Student Affairs, Prof. Abayomi Omotesho; the Chief Security Officer, Mr. A. Tijani, the Deputy Director, Corporate Affairs, Mr. Kunle Akogun; and the Principal Assistant Registrar, VC Office, Mr. Abdullateef Sayuti.

Hollywood Crew To Shoot Film In UNILORIN

Hollywood Actor, Producer and Director, Mr. Bayo Akinfemi, has said that a film crew from Hollywood would be arriving the University of Ilorin soon to hold workshops for students of the Department of the Performing Arts, and shoot a film on the campus.

Mr Akinfemi, an alumnus of the University, disclosed this last Friday (June 12, 2015), when he visited the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON) in his office.
The former President, Performing Arts Students Association, University of Ilorin, said it has become necessary for him to come back home and give back to the institution that gave him so much.
He explained that the proposed film would enable the students of Performing Arts to understand how to translate theory to practice, adding that it would also serve as a “calling card” to take back to Hollywood.
The Hollywood actor said that Nigeria is capable of producing Oscar Award-winning films if the enabling environment is put in place, stressing that the country should be attracting Hollywood to its movie industry. He described himself as a son that has been sent out and he is back bringing report.

Mr. Akinfemi, who noted that it is important for students to learn to translate stage acting to film, said that he is looking forward to the future. He also expressed the hope that Nigeria would soon become the golden destination for Hollywood.
Welcoming the actor back to the University campus, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ambali, expressed his delight to see Mr. Akinfemi. He also congratulated the Dean of Arts, Prof. Ayo Akinwande, who supervised Mr. Akinfemi’s undergraduate project, on seeing his students excel.

The Vice-Chancellor said that Mr. Akinfemi has been able to translate the education he received at the University of Ilorin to the outside world. “You have done this for national development and for the entire world. You are flying the flag of the University really high”, Prof. Ambali told him.

Prof. Ambali also submitted that it is assuring to know that the University of Ilorin is part of Mr. Akinfemi’s future plans. He assured him that the good experience he had at the University of Ilorin is still ongoing.

He disclosed that the University is planning to establish a television station in addition to the FM radio station that is already making waves on the University campus and its environs.

Members of the University management, who joined the Vice-Chancellor to receive the Hollywood Actor were later treated to a demo clip of some of his films.

The Vice-Chancellor also received members of the Unilorin Postgraduate Students’ Association (POGSASS), who visited him in his office.

The Association, led by its President, Mr. Olorunsuwa Elijah Ola, presented a Plasma Television set for the office of the Secretary to the Vice-Chancellor as their token contribution to the University.
Mr. Olorunsuwa appreciated the Vice-Chancellor for his leadership style and pleaded that outstanding postgraduate students should be considered for employment by the University.

Speaking in the same vein, the Dean, Postgraduate School, Prof. Clement Bewaji, described the donation by the students as exemplary, while calling for greater enabling environment to help the students do more.

The Vice-Chancellor, in his response, thanked POGSASS immensely, saying that they would make good leaders in the future. “You cannot be a good leader unless you are a good follower. You have demonstrated that you are a good follower by coming up with solution”, the Vice-Chancellor said.

Prof. Ambali said that the University is producing leaders for the future and assured the association that the University is concerned with the welfare of the postgraduate students. He told them that the future belongs to them, calling on them to keep flying high the flag of the University.

University Of Ibadan Workers To Embarked On Strike

The non-academic staff of the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday, issued a two-week ultimatum to the institution’s management to settle all outstanding issues, otherwise the management should be ready for a strike.

The workers, under the aegis of the Joint Union of Non Academic Staff of Universities, told journalists after a congress in Ibadan that the ultimatum was necessitated because of the alleged insincerity of the institution’s management.
The three unions are: the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), Non Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) and the National Association of Academic Technologists (NAAT).
Mr Wale Akinremi, spokesman of the unions, said that the university since 2009 had allegedly failed to pay workers the Earned Allowances that the Federal Government had approved for them.
Akinremi said that other contending issues included the alleged privatisation of the University Staff School and the career structure proposed by the management.
According to him, the unions in 2009 had an agreement with the Federal Government on the payment of Earned Allowances but since then, management had allegedly not paid a single staff member.
“And the issue of the privatisation of the staff school is null and void and every union is saying no to It,” he said.
Akinremi said that the union had it on good record that the Federal Government had made available fund for payment of the Earned Allowances to workers.
However, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Isaac Adewole, said that the allegation of corruption was unfounded.
“These are unfounded allegations, we do not know where these came from. There is nothing like privatisation of the University Staff School,” he said.
He said that the institution had done a lot to improve staff welfare and that the council of the university, in a meeting, proposed a new career structure for all workers to prevent stagnation.
“There must be a career structure for all workers. The University of Ibadan of the 21st century must do an evaluation of all members of staff for promotion to the next level.
“The new structure is for those on CONTISS 9 and above, who will henceforth be promoted every four years and this is to further prevent staff stagnation,” Adewole said.
On the Earned Allowances, the vice chancellor said that the university was yet to effect the payment due to shortage of funds.
He said that the management would continue to dialogue with the unions to reach a compromise, adding that the situation would not be allowed to degenerate to a workers’ strike.
