If you have never been to the North before, ask those of your friends who have. Any student from the North who got second class can challenge any of you with first class. We dont give out degrees in the North through prostitution and cultism. Ask Jega.
The house leaders simply asked for transparency in the schorlarship scheme and you are tailking of federal character. Why are you people so boastfull of wrong doing?

Mr Challenger, Most are the Northern grads do come down south to serve remember? The truth is western education i never taken seriously up north. Then they will come up with federal character, the usual excuse to lower the bar for them. How do you get into unity school with 1% and your fellow country man from the south needs 70%, in the same country,then during recruitment or scholarship u start crying wolf. Had civil service been based on merit have you ever imagined what it would look like?

For the second time in two years, the House of Representatives on Thursday directed that the Presidential Scholarship Scheme on Innovation and Development should be suspended pending its scrutiny of its process, procedures and beneficiaries.

The House committee chairman on education, Hon. Aminu Suleiman, who chaired a public hearing on the matter, expressed regrets that its previous decision was jettisoned by the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) with the support of the ex-minister of education, Nyesom Wike.

"Last year we asked for the exercise to be stopped and reversed because some parts of the country felt cheated. Unfortunately, the Executive Secretary of the NUC through the directive of the former minister of education and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), snubbed us.

kai...Aboki people will not go and pursue their cows and leave us to read our book?! How many abokis de make 1st class 4 university?
"But the committee allowed it to pass believing that a lesson would have been learnt. But here we are again. The same process is being adopted.”

In response, the Executive Secretary of the NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie, insisted that qualification for the scholarship is based on merit and not federal character. He explained that only first class graduates are involved.

Stressing that out of the multiple entries, only 100 applicants are selected as beneficiaries, Okojie advised that the scheme should not be scrapped.

He said he would not be a party to deliberately design a system that would exclude some parts of the country. "Unless we are saying that the criteria have to change, I will not advise that the programme should be scrapped," he emphasized, pointing out that whatever transpired at the meeting he would relay to the President.

But again, Suleiman reminded him that "the issues you raised this afternoon are similar to the ones you gave us last year."

He noted that Wike truncated the decision of the House. "You continue to argue that there are some states of the federation that cannot make first class degrees."

He faulted the NUC scribe for failing to provide the advertisement the commission made for the awards of scholarships, the list of applicants and the members of the board that selected the beneficiaries and how many times the board sat.

Saying that the committee wanted these details to ascertain why two-thirds of the country was excluded from the programme, the committee chairman observed : "You didn't get back to us.

"The only thing we saw was the ceremony on television where the former minister tried to set parents against the National Assembly.

"It is our belief in this committee that there is no state in the country where you cannot find a first class graduate. Those questions we asked last year are still valid."

Suleiman then ruled: "Until that is done, we will stop the process."

Granted, there is prostitution and cultism in higher institutions; I'll even agree to disagree with you that it is more prevalent in the South but one thing you cannot deny is the fact that no cultist or prostitu.te (your term) will even want to go near a first class degree cos they know they cannot defend it, even 2.1 is not particularly their cup of tea. Make dem sha graduate na him be the coco... There's no 1st class graduate in any uni from Southern Nigeria that did not merit it because if nothing else, they must defend their projects and you have external persons involved or have they all been intimidated and slept with? Don't try to denigrate the higher institutions and students cos while there are those that come to play, you still have those that came to do their academic jobs and when they excel they should be rewarded so don't sit there and rubbish their efforts. Merit is key here, not Federal character. You can imagine the issue being that the North is not involved but I can almost be certain that there are southerners on that list that bagged their first class degrees from unis in the North.

Its always about the northerners. The lawmaker in charge of the reps commitee on Education is a Northerner precisely Kano State in the name of Mr. Aminu Suleiman. Now, prof. Okojie has affirmed that the scholarship is solidly based on merit and on the ground that applicants must be first class graduates under the age of 30. Out of 104 short listed for the scholarship this year, North Central earned earned 7 slots while North West and North East as well as FCT received none.
This is in no way "educational imbalance" or "monumental abuse" as stipulated by suleiman, considering the affirmation of prof. Okojie. Its by merit and not politics. The so called lawmaker should admit the incompetence of his brothers with respect to academic qualities particularly to the scholarship and afterwards render practical help or panaceas for it. That is what lawmakers do for their people rather than playing politics.
I strongly advice the executive body in charge to approach this opinion of the rep with a pinch of salt or risk losing our education and capabilities to politics as we have lost more to it....thanks.

My guy, nobody makes first class through prostitution and cultism. That is a fact! Secondly, even in those northern universities you're referring to, majority of their good students are Yorubas and Igbos. Go and check the statistics of WAEC result for 2014 and tell me why northerners will be producing first class graduates, when many of them don't believe in western education. I know there are a number of intelligent northerners but they are few compared to their counterparts in the south.

You guys should stop this nonsense.

There are Northerners both on the eligibility list and the final list. They were just few cos it was based on MERIT. Even Bayeksa, President Jonathan own State, didn't have a single beneficiary in the final list cos no Bayelsan came tops in the 1st 109 candidates after the test. Simple!!

The north should go else where and cry over their backwardness in education, and leave this program alone

You totally misunderstood what I was trying to say. the north can complain all they want, they always cry fowl when things dont go as they want.that's not my concern. your post made it seem like northerners are nothing intellectually and hence cannot graduate with first class honors.

But the north never copy in the exams my brother, if I may suggest here, why not subject all graduates from all regions to a test an select the best among them. The level of examination malpractice in the north is negligible compared to south, so making first class ( that cannot defended) in the south is common. Imagine a 50% of graduating students in private university graduated with first class! How is that possible. And when you meet most of them during service you will be like CHEI how comes? Brother don't play the victim script here just advocate for level playing ground. Cheers.

It is mentality like this that your useless leaders have INDOTRINATED you guys with in the north that is keeping you guys backward since way before 1960. And that's exactly what would keep you guys in the sorry state you are.
