Jega Ex-INEC boss advocates scrapping of scholarship boards

He explained that most scholarship boards in the states and federal levels had been characterised by corruption, hence the need for governments to deal with schools directly.

Prof.Attahiru Jega, former INEC Chairman, on Saturday in Dutse, called for the scrapping of states and federal scholarship boards.

Jega, now a lecturer with theBayero University, Kano, made the call at the maiden convocation lecture of the Federal University, Dutse, where he delivered a paper with the theme, `Reforming the Nigerian Tertiary Education sector: challenges and prospects’’

According to him, the scholarship system needs to be reviewed to serve the purpose for which it was introduced.

He explained that most scholarship boards in the states and federal levels had been characterised by corruption, hence the need for governments to deal with schools directly.

``The scholarship system must be reviewed and reorganised by disbursing scholarships through the institutions, rather than ineffective and corrupt boards.

``The federal and state governments should identify their beneficiaries and pay directly to their schools, and that should be done by merit,’’ he said.

According to him, paying directly to the institutions will reduce a lot of wastages and reduce corruption in the system.
Jega also advised government to introduce a well-funded student’s scheme for indigent’s students that were qualified to go to tertiary institutions but could not afford it.

He noted that these were important innovative measures used by most countries to expand access to education.

Jega also called on the Federal Government to increase profit tax of companies allocation to Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), from two to five per cent.

He lauded TETFUND for serving the country well in terms of provision of infrastructures in institutions, as well as aiding the conduct of research.

The 2016 UTME Registration has been extended to January 31st 2016

The 2016 UTME Registration has been extended to January 31st 2016.

However, we believe that a great number of candidates are already registered for 2016 UTME.

We therefore want to share some tips that will enable you prepare adequately and scale through successfully in 2016 UTME.
What it takes to prepare for JAMB UTME is really no different from what it takes to prepare for any other exam. By that I mean the ground rule is the same. That is; work hard on your books.

However, I have outlined here specific nuggets for strategic and adequate preparation;
1. Start Preparing Now!:Don’t wait until weeks to the exam to start studying. The first step to success in any examination is to start preparing on time. Begin by creating a personal time-table; the one that suits your study time (day or night).
Also make sure you use the JAMB syllabus. It helps you not only to know the list of topics to be covered but also the areas questions will likely come from.

We have emphasized over and over again on the importance of JAMB past questions. Here is a testimony from a Myschooler who prepared with JAMB past questions and wrote UTME 2 years back;

"All CBT candidates the one secret to your success is past questions. Am telling you this from experience because on Saturday when I wrote mine, 25 questions in each subject I answered came out from past questions and JAMB repeated it as it was asked before. I wake up on that Saturday by 1pm and read my books till 6pm. When I entered inside the hall I found out that JAMB photocopied the questions from past questions to the extent that not even a word was changed."

Such testimony may come from you this year if you can take advantage of the JAMB Past questions and tools we have on this website

They include;
a. The JAMB CBT Software contains all subjects, works without internet, and even prepares you for Post-UTME. Click hereto download it.

b. There’s also a mobile application (Android phones only) that contains Past Questions & Answers for JAMB, WAEC, NECO and NABTEB. Click hereto download it.
(we sale our software which include past questions and answers for #1,500 only.)

If you are interested contact us via email:
9jaschoolgist@gmail.com

For those who are very well connected to the internet, they can use the Myschool online CBT classroom. Click hereto access it.

2. Be Confident:Your level of intelligence is affected by the state of your mind.

Examination fear and intimidation has a way of sapping confidence from you.

Even if you were not able to cover the whole syllables, be confident in the areas you have covered. Don’t try to copy others. Find out what works for you and stick to it since all of us are not gifted same way. E.g you need to know the reading environment that works for you and the time of the day you are most productive.

If you are a social learner for instance, you can join JAMB coaching classes and JAMB examination forums and groups where you can share ideas and learn from others. Never the less, this should not replace your personal study time.

While studying, read between the lines and make sure you know the exact meaning of words you come across. Don’t assume you know the meaning already. This is very important in tackling questions in English language and subjects like biology. Remember JAMB can be tricky with questions.

Also work on your speed and accuracy because it’s a test of both. There’s no point knowing all the answers but not being able to finish within the specified time.

3. Forget about “JAMB Runs”:If you start now to nurse the idea of getting help from somewhere else outside your brain, you may end up with stories that touch.

There are many “JAMB Messiahs” (That’s what they claim) everywhere trying to take advantage of gullible candidates. I know they will eventually convince many lazy students. But let it not be you. Their offer may seem juicy but then so is every short cut to success. It will only leave you with tales of woes at the end of the day. With the current mode of examination and some other changes JAMB has made, the possibility of succeeding with EXPO has been drastically reduced.

So get that option off your mind and take the surest pathway to success which remains hard work, discipline and determination.

4. Do Not Forget the G Factor:The G factor here is GOD. You cannot be prepared to the extent that God is no longer relevant. There are things beyond human control. What if you happen to break down with fever on the day of your examination? What after writing well and you never get to see your result for no sensible reason? This is where you need God to work for you.
This explains the importance of prayer. Prayer does not only change things, it positions you to confront all things.

They say "Practice Makes Perfect". If you are looking to write the JAMB CBT Exam in 2016, you should download, install and activate this particular software today so you can be "Perfect" before the exam day.
If you already have any Get Higher Score (GHS) CBT practice Software, this version will FREELY upgrade it to the 2016 version for you, without need for re-activation.

we sale our software which include past questions and answers for #1,500 only.

NYSC Corps Members "Allowee" Increament Bill Passes 3rd Reading at House of Rep

The House of Representatives, yesterday passed for third reading a Bill for an Act seeking to amend the National Youth Service Corps Act 2004 which will bring about an increment in the allowance earned by Corps members in the country.
The Bill which also seeks to provide mandatory life insurance to Corps members was sponsored by Hon Joan Mrakpor, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from Delta State. It was unanimously adopted by members.
Passage of the Bill would enable corps members who have acquired special business skill from the Service to have access to loan.
Mrakpor, while calling on his colleagues to support the passage of the bill, said the essence of the Bill’s amendment was to ensure that the aim of the NYSC scheme was not defeated and it would reduce the number of graduates relying on white collar jobs in the country.
Following its passage, the House referred the Bill to the adhoc committee on constitution review for further legislative input.
I wonder how much the new allowee will cost...

Carnival turns bloody as cultists kill graduate

A graduate, identified only as Usman, and another victim have been shot dead by suspected cultists during a carnival in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Metrolearnt that the graduate, and the other victim, identified simply asAbija, were initially attacked with axes, but they managed to escape.
Their assailants chased and reportedly caught up with them on Itun-Meko Street and shot them dead.
Our correspondent gathered that the attack, which happened on Tuesday at about 5am, was caused by supremacy battle among rival cults in the area.
Policemen from the Ikorodu division were said to have arrived at the scene to remove the corpses, while efforts to arrest the hoodlums reportedly failed.
WhenPUNCH Metrovisited Itun-Meko Street, a resident, who identified himself only as Phillip, said Usman came to the carnival from the neighbouring Anibaba area, which is believed to be the base of a rival gang.
He said, “The two of them came to the carnival from the Anibaba area. This street is ruled by a rival cult. The carnival had almost ended and the two of them were leaving when the hoodlums chased them.
“The boys escaped with cuts, but at the Itun-Meko Street junction, they were shot dead. Their bodies were taken away in a police van. Usman was a university graduate, andAbijawas his friend.”
A shop owner, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there had been gunshots on every evening since the day of the killings on Itun-Meko Street.
He said, “The carnival was a gathering of cult boys. The police should not allow such carnivals. But the hoodlums were able to bring some policemen who were around to monitor the event. The policemen had left when they started trouble. Their anger with the two men was that why would they come to attend their carnival when they belonged to an area controlled by a rival group?
“Since that Tuesday, there have been gunshots every evening.”
A security source in the area toldPUNCH Metrothat hoodlums from the Anibaba area had also killed two persons from Itun-Meko Street after the Tuesday violence in a reprisal.
Efforts to get Usman’s family members were not successful as of press time.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, who confirmed the killings, said the police recovered three axes, mobile phones and motorcycles used by the cultists which would assist in fishing them out.
She said, “There is no arrest for now. But during the chase by the police, the suspects abandoned three axes, motorcycles and their phones. We are working on these, and we will fish out the killers very soon.”

Stipend: We won’t pay N5000 to indolent people – Labour Minister

  The Federal Government has categorically stated that it cannot afford to pay lazy Nigerians the N5000 stipend promised to the unemployed, revealing that it will review the scheme to ensure that potential beneficiaries use the money for productive purposes.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, who made the disclosure while speaking to journalists at the APC secretariat in Abuja, revealed that while some people will get N5000 under cash conversion scheme, some will get N10,000, while others may get more than N15,000 while training.
Ngige further explained that some beneficiaries will go through different training programmes before getting employed by either the state or federal government.
“We also have the programme on commission cash transfer… We won’t pay N5000 for people to be indolent. No country in the world would pay people to go home and sleep and collect cash, so Nigeria would not be an exception.
“We will pay some people N5000, pay some N10,000, and for people in teacher conversion scheme, we will pay more than N10,000 – N15,000 as stipend while in training and then after the training they are going to be employed by the state and federal government in different institutions.
“It is not a programme we shall run alone. The state governments are going to buy into it, they are going to synchronize with us. We are going to do it in synergy,” the Minister explained.
While emphasising that the present administration has some poverty alleviating and employment generating programmes, the former Senator added that those programs will span through many ministries.
“The programme will span through the ministries of Education, Agriculture, Labour and Agriculture, because we have some agricultural universities and we plan to convert some people to teach the relevant agricultural courses,” he noted.
On the President’s skills acquisition scheme, Ngige said: “The Ministry has specialists skills acquisition centres; we have seven like that based in the ministry under the Commissioner of Skills.”
“The NDE has over 120 centres scattered all over the country. We also have those that have been built by state governments and we want to capture all of these into that scheme and then get people to the scheme as bricklayers, POP designers, builders, welders, electronics repairers… carpentry, painting and fabrication of all sorts.
“We are going to do it, teach people, give them certifications, because many people don’t know that the Ministry of Labour is the only place that can certify tradesmen.
These skill acquisition centres are in grades… “We want to get back our youth, capture them, teach them to use their hands, so that they can earn money by employing themselves.
If you get a bricklayer or a painter today, you cannot pay less than N5000 for a daily job. “If somebody is able to work 20 days in a month for N5000, he already has N100,000.
But today it is a sad story. That is why Togolese, Ghanaians, citizens of Benin Republic, Niger Republic do all these skilled job for us. 80 per cent of workers in that specialist category in construction site all over Nigeria, be it in Abuja, in Lagos or in Onitsha, come from outside.
“The money they are paid is repatriated to their country and all of them will come at the end of the day to put pressure on the naira in the foreign exchange market. “So, we have decided that we have to train our own youth, let them use their hands to fend for themselves.
We will also want to advance some of them into entrepreneurship. If you are very good, we can open a place for you and give you money through the Bank of Industry and SMEDAN and then you can move to the next stage where a number of youths will work with you,” Ngige explained.
