Catholic Augustine University Cardinal Okojie blames NUC for rot in education system

CardinalAnthony Olubunmi Okogiehas blamed the deficiencies in the education system on theNigerian Universities Commission(NUC) and the society.
Okojie, who isCatholic Archbishop Emeritus of Lagos, a major cause of corruption and misconduct by students and staff of higher institutions is due to the NUC's negligence, The Nation reports.
“Yes, I am greatly worried and you don’t blame these children," he said.
"It’s the kind of society we built for them."
Okojie urged the NUC to be more patriotic in its activities.
He said the new Catholic Augustine University, which is to open for resumption in September, will champion the needed change in Nigeria's education sector.
“I can promise you that this institution is definitely going to be different," the cleric said.
"Otherwise, I won’t be bothering my head thinking about giving the nation a university."

Education Fear of Mathematics is a global 'disease' — Prof Ale

Mathematics as a subject is feared globally, not just in Nigeria says Professor Sam Ale, a former Director-General of the National Mathematical Centre.
Ale said this in a recent interview withDaily Trustin Abuja.
According to him, the fear of the subject is not a Nigerian problem because students all over the world fear it..
"All over the world, there is apathy towards mathematics because people think the subject is difficult," Ale said.
"That's a problem faced all over the globe, not only in Nigeria."
Immediately you mention that you are a mathematician, people will refer to you as a terror.
"Majority of people don't like the subject and are scared of it."
The Professor noted that only with advancement in Mathematics can the world progress.
"The advancement in the world is together. I can make bold to say that the world cannot advance without advancement in mathematics," he added.
"Yes, it is a disease of many students and people generally; but truly, we need it to advance."
He called on the government to pay special attention to rural education, noting that, "until educational facilities are improved upon, mathematics as a subject will not thrive."

Requirements For Registration/Mobilization Of Graduates

This is to inform all prospective corps members, i.e. Nigerians who have graduated from Universities and Mono/Polytechnics both at home and abroad that the NYSC On-line registration portal will be opened from ****  to enable them register for the 2015 Batch ‘A’ mobilization.

In order to ensure a seamless registration, prospective corps members are to note the following for strict compliance:

The Website address is any of the following:

www.nysc.gov.ng

www.nysc.org.ng

www.portal.nysc.gov.ng

Prospective Corps members should ensure that they have functional e-mail addresses with valid password and Nigerian (GSM) telephone numbers with which to register

Locally trained prospective Corps members are expected to use correct JAMB and Matriculation numbers to register

For locally-trained graduates, only those whose names appear in the Senate/Academic Board Approved Result lists submitted by their Institutions will have access to the NYSC portal.

Prospective corps members must ensure that their institutions and Courses are approved and accredited by Nigeria Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) or Federal Ministry of Education (FME), otherwise they would not be mobilized..

Those who graduated from Institutions outside Nigeria, (Foreign-trained graduates), are to visit the NYSC portal, register and upload the following documents:
