DerideGull: Is it possible you live in Owerri or anywhere in or near Imo state? The roads Gov. Okorocha-led govt started in Orlu are no where near completion. The sum total of the distance of the roads in Orlu is about one-twentieth of the kilometer distance of roads being built in Owerri. A project most dear to discerning people in Orlu - the Orlu urban drainage project - started by late Gov. Ikwechegh has hardly gone beyond where it was started. Portable water is a mirage in Orlu. It costs 250K to dig and get water in Owerri, but in Orlu, it is about 1.5million Naira. The two groups of Pictures below: Group 1 is Owerri, group 2 is Orlu - uncompleted roads. In owerri, Okorocha's projects ranging from Heroes square to Freedom square to the beautiful dual carriage way that surges from Wetherel Rd and joins Aba Rd in Owerri, to the Ahiajoku hall, to the nearing completion dual carriage way linking Onitsha Rd to Orlu Rd in Owerri .... name them ... Gov. Okorocha concentrates about 90% of his development efforts in Owerri. |

A final year student in the department of Mechanical Engineering, ADEBOLA Simeon Oluwafunmilore, has made the University proud in the AFRON “10 Dollar robot” design challenge,as the only African winner in the Tethered category. Of the ten winners worldwide, he placed fourth. The competition had requested contestants to “design anew class of affordable robots for learning ( especially in primary and secondary schools)”; with the requirements that entries would describe the design process for a robot that waould cost between 10 to 100 US dollars anywhere. The student presented his recently completed final year project, jointly supervised by Dr. O.A. Odejobi(Department of computer science and engineering) for the competition, under the contest name, RoboArm. The organisers had remarked that, “The RoboArm was not just built for Africa; it was built in Africa, as a senior project at the Obafemi Awolowo University. The arm has five joints, including a gripping pincer, and uses clear plastic for the structure and scavenged motors”. The winning entries have been posted on the AFRON design challenge webpage: http://www.robotics-africa.org/design_challenge.html the winners have also been annouced through articles in Wired and IEEE Spectrum: http://www.wired.com/design/2012/09/africon- winners/ http://spectrum.ieee.org/automation/robotics/diy/winners- of-10-robot-challenge-announced the challenge and its winners were also mentioned on Slashdot: http:// hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/09/30/1759224/african-robotics- network-challenge-spur-rash-of-10-robots < http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/09/30/1759224/african- robotics-network-challenge-spur-rash-of-10-robots Log in to post comments |

These two awards of international repute over-takes whatever award you guys have won so far and the ones yet to be won. Deal with it. Goodnite. "AWKA — THE Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has emerged winners of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Imperial Barrel Award competed by African universities. The university came first, scoring 79.33 percent, while Helwan University, Egypt and the Federal University of Technology, Akure came second and third respectively. Eight universities in Nigeria participated in the competition, including Federal University of Technology, Owerri; University of Lagos; University of Ilorin; Enugu State University of Science and Technology; Nnamdi Azikiwe University; Federal University of Technology, Akure; University of Ibadan and University of Calabar." http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/03/unizik-wins-geo-sciences-competition-among-african-universities/ "The engineering students of Anambra State University (ANSU), under the aegis of Nuta_Bolts Team, recently ruled the world when it beat 123 teams from across the globe to emerge winner of the 2011 Global Population Challenge Competition. The team led by young and unassuming Ifeanyichukwu Onyenanu and ably assisted by Nwachukwu Anagu will be in England this July for the Formula Students Competition, to partake in the Silverstone Circuit race car competition. The team, Daily Sun gathered, will also be in Rio, Brazil in June at the United Nations (UN) Rio+20 Earth Summit to present their solution on the Global Population Challenge to the world body. But the silence that shrouds the achievements of the young lads has began to irritate some people in the university community who feel that had it been some other university in the country that attained the great height, they would have been celebrated by the country and the state." http://www.nigerianbestforum.com/index.php?topic=161741.0 |

NEWS Nigeria’s University Wins Zain African Challenge By Sep 9, 2009, 17:18 After six months of tough competition, Nigeria’s University of Ibadan (UI) won the 2009 Zain Africa Challenge, the hugely popular TV quiz show involving 32 universities from eight nations across East, West and Central Africa. University of Ibadan defeated Kenya’s Kenyatta University in the final. The third season of the Zain Africa Challenge saw competing students from universities in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia battle it out for the top prize. It was the first time that UI had won the title in a final watched by tens of millions of viewers across Africa and beyond. At stake during what has been dubbed "the Battle of the Brains" was not only the prestige of taking the crown, but also a share of the more than US$1 million worth prize money and educational grants donated by Zain. For its efforts, UI was awarded a US$ 50,000 grant, while each team member received US$ 5,000. In second place was Kenya’s Kenyatta University, which won a grant of US$ 35,000, with each team member going home with US$ 3,000. All the other schools that participated in the tournament received grants ranging from US$ 5,000 to US$ 35,000. Mr Chris Gabriel, CEO of Zain Africa said, "The Zain Africa Challenge is a powerful testimony of Zain’s commitment to the advancement of humanity through its support for education as well as its social and community initiatives. As a responsible global corporate citizen, Zain has proven yet again that it is not only a telecommunications service provider but also a dependable ally of the African people. Through Zain Africa Challenge, Zain has created a unique platform for building and strengthening regional and international alliances." The prizes were handed out at a packed presentation ceremony in the Nigerian capital of Abuja, attended by dignitaries from the Government and the private sector, with Nigerian Minister of Education, the Hon. Dr Sam Egwu as the Special Guest of Honour. All the Vice-Chancellors of the Universities that participated in the tournament as well as other stakeholders in the education sector were also present. The final between UI and Kenyatta University was broadcast at the presentation for the benefit of the guests and the mental agility displayed by UI trio of Nnaemeka Nwachukwu, Olatunji Ayoola Olalere and Tolulope Oloruntoba, all of whom were present, drew thunderous applause and admiration from those present. The Vice-Chancellor, University of Ibadan, Professor Olufemi Bamiro congratulated Zain for organizing the pan-African quiz show, describing the initiative as a fantastic and unique corporate social responsibility program. The next edition of the Zain Africa Challenge is expected to begin in late 2009, with thousands of students taking part in national qualifying tournaments in the participating countries. |

eggheaders:Lol You and this your Zain African Challenge....... Smh! Four students of the Department of Geology Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU) Awka, Anambra State have lifted the spirits of everyone in the state. The quartet, Chibuzo Ahaneku, Chinelo Ezidiegwu, Nnaemeka Okoli and Vivian Oguadinma won this year’s American Association of Petroleum Geologist Imperial Barrel Award (AAPG-IBA). Traders, children and the elderly trooped out to join the student population in celebration. The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Boniface Egboka, went into a dance. The governor, Mr Peter Obi, praised the youth. Others poured encomiums on the victorious four. It was pointed out that their excellence reflected the state government’s efforts in raising education standard. The students participated in an annual competition for geosciences students. The competition requires that university teams analyse and interpret multiple data sets from selected basins around the world known as seismic data, well logs, formation taps, well reports and literatures. The competition which was held at the Peninsula Hotel Lagos had six university teams from different countries in Africa. Soon, universities from all the continents of the world will gather at the United States of America to compete for the prestigious global award, including scholarship funds. Following their exploits, the institution, the people and the state government rolled out drums to celebrate the all- conquering student team. Their mentor, Dr Bernard Odoh who is also the faculty advisor and Ms. Nkechi Egboka were equally celebrated. Speaker after speaker, including the state Commissioner for Economic Planning Prof. Stella Okunna and Governor Peter Obi’s Chief of Staff poured encomiums on the students. Prof. Okunna said the students’ feat is an indication that Governor Obi’s efforts in lifting the standard of education in the state are not in vain, adding that the fatherly role played by Prof. Egboka and his management team inspired the students. Universities from Egypt, Tunisia, Nigeria and other countries in Africa participated in the two-day competition. The leader of the team and Faculty Advisor, Dr. Bernard Odoh said what the laurel means is that avenue for employment has been opened for the students not only in Nigeria or Africa, but globally. Odoh further recalled that three years ago, the university took the fourth position while in 2012, it came third and capped it up with the first position in 2013. The Vice-Chancellor of the institution Prof. Boniface Egboka threw caution to the wind and danced to the admiration of the crowd who joined him. Sweating profusely, Egboka declared that the award will be presented to President Goodluck Jonathan in due course through the Ministry of Education and the National Universities Commission (NUC) . Maintaining that standard of education is not falling, he said it is the people that are falling, adding that soon one of the students will travel to Germany for further studies. “UNIZIK is doing well, and we are proud of the people here. I feel like a baby. We know why we are here right now and we know where we are going. “Though we have shortfalls in funding, students are still excelling. We should provide resources for the schools. This feat should be celebrated in Aso Rock. We are going to write a letter to Mr. President. “This has shown that UNIZIK has really arrived in the academic world. We are proud of being members of this school. We will continue to mesmerize the entire world. Our late hero Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe will be proud wherever he is today,” Egboka said. However, he warned some politicians to stop misleading and misusing his students by distracting them from their studies, adding that they should allow them to concentrate on their studies to attract further laurels to the state and country. Prof. Joseph Ahaneku told Newsextra that what the students had done was part of the transformation agenda of the Federal Government. He said: “We are propagating the legacy which the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe left for us and we believe he will be happy in the great beyond.” In a chat with Newsextra, Prof. Grey Nwakobi said that the exploits of the students had rubbished the claims from certain quarters that Nigerian graduates are not employable. He said that it has equally vindicated the lecturers of the institution, adding that it had become a big challenge to other departments in the institution. But for Prof. Paul Orajaka, the students should be given more encouragement by sending them to seminars and international conferences. He added that the institution should imbibe a culture of engaging its best brains instead of allowing others to meal on them.

Still counting....... UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA Office ofthe Vice-Chancellor (Information and Public Relations) Our Ref: VC/PRO/378/S.I Date: August 25, 2011 Press Release UNN Don Wins TWAS-DFG Award The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Professor Bartho Okolo has announced that Rev. Sr. Dr. Dibua Uju Marie Esther (HHCJ) of the Department of Microbiology has won TWAS-DFG award which is a merit-based scientific research fellowship under the “Co-operation Visits Programme” for scientists from sub-Saharan Africa. TWAS (The Academy of Science for the Developing World) promotes scientific capacity and excellence forsustainable development in the South while DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), a GermanResearch Foundation, represents Germany in its role as a pioneering and simultaneously cosmopolitan centre of research and science and whose responsibility is “to foster contacts between scientists and researchers in Germany and abroad for advancement of internationalization and research collaboration.The award which will be for an initial period of three months is tenable at the Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany. Dr. Dibua’s research collaborator is Professor Dr. Julia E., a specialist in the use of proteomic signaling to study antibacterial mechanisms of action, who also adopts antibiotic barcode screening using E. coli single-gene knock-out mutants with hypersensitivity to antibiotics as a fast readout covering known antibiotic mechanisms. Her researchplan will be using proteomic profiling to assess the antibiotic potential of some natural products (indigenous plants) with the ultimate goal of developing novel compounds for combating multi-resistant bacteria. The mechanism of action of some indigenous plant extracts will be determined using Keio screening, which involves testing the gene profile and sensitivities of our target plant extracts and comparing their sensitivities to Keio Collection for increased susceptibility. This is donein parallel with proteomic signaling, an incorporation assay in antibacterial mechanism of action study which is useful in assaying for novel products from natural sources.This research is novel considering the depth of researches carried out on these plants hitherto. Research Objectives include: To elucidate bacterial response toward natural products To determine the mechanism of action of multi-resistant bacteria using the proteomic technology. To classify novel compounds with unknown mechanisms of action To identify new combinational drug targets To identify antibacterial activity ofnovel compounds from natural sources which will ultimately lead to discovery of novel compounds for combating multi-resistant bacteria. The collaborative research is a start up for setting up future collaborations leading to further investigation of fractioned extracts for antibacterial activity, the isolation of active ingredients useful in drug formulation as well as establishing the mechanism of action of several plant extracts. The collaboration is vital in carrying out the bacterial proteomic profiling, a novel line in antibiotic research, anda future prospect for antibiotic drug discovery from natural products. It will also provide opportunities for efficient scientific and laboratory-based training in antibiotic kinetics through exposure to expert ideas andmethodologies. Furthermore, the collaboration might lead to the much needed novel antibiotics for combating AIDS-related bacterial opportunisticpathogens now militating against thehighly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in Nigeria. Results of this study will also help to redefine new combinational drug targets, as well as allow the design of more precise tests for the persistence of antibiotics in foods, water and livestock. Additionally, the collaboration will provide the expertise and material for the research, a very urgent venture in combating the long existing and distressful multi-drug resistance in Nigeria. http://mail.unn.edu.ng 1 Like |

NILORIN Law Faculty for US Moot competition TWO students of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) will represent Nigeria in this year’s edition of the Philip Jessup Moot Court competition billed for Washington DC, United States between March 25 and April 1. They are Hamid Abdulkareem, a final year student and Faith Oluwatobi, a 400-Level undergraduate of the Law Faculty of the university. The duo are to be accompanied on the trip to the United States by Mr Wahab Egbewole, Head of Department of Jurisprudence and International Law, who will also serve as coach. Recalling the performance of the university in previous competitions, an official, Bolanle Richard-Bruce said the Faculty hosted the maiden edition of the Philip C. Jessup National Rounds in Nigeria between December 17 and 20, 2002. It said the Faculty emerged the second overall winner at the competition. She also recalled how the Faculty won the maiden Toyin Saraki Moot Court competition hosted by the university in 2005. "The University of Ilorin Moot Court Team over the years, distinguished itself as unequalled in academic competitions among Nigerian universities. This proud record is reflected in its achievements in events both within and outside the country," she said. Mrs Richard-Bruce listed some of the laurels won by the Faculty as including the Teslim Elias Moot Court competition in Asaba (2005); Chief Debo Akande Moot Court competition held in Lagos last year; Taslim Elias Moot Court competition in Port Harcourt (2006) and Toyin Saraki Moot Court competition hosted by the Faculty in 2005. According to her, the Faculty won the Best Nigerian University award at the African Human Rights Moot Court competition in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2005 and the Best Nigerian University award at the African Human Rights Moot Court competition, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, last year. The Faculty produced the ninth and 10th overall Best Oralists at the Addis-Ababa competition. |
