If the Part time program is successfully stopped, the only alternative for those who can't go for full time courses will be the NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY (NOUN). It is a pet project of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. There will be a massive rise in admission rate in this pet project.

life_style: Just like that ?

Stop admitting new part-time student,let the present part-time student complete their program, then you can abolish the shit if you wish.

b4jesus: Are postgraduate courses inclusive?

yvonne_2: what d hell is good about this? some people here need serious sense! dis calls for questioning rather than jubilating...gosh!

stillme: Absolute rubbish. Is part time programme the problem of Nigeria education? FG and NUC are the problems of Nigeria education. As long as part time programme is not a problem in developed countries,it is never a problem to Nigeria education.
From Gej to the ministers,senators,they are all products of full time studies and they have not been able to live up expectation of Nigerians. They are disgrace to Nigeria education.

The National Universities Commission (NUC) on Monday announced the suspension of all part-time programmes run by universities in the country.

The commission announced that 30 NOUN programmes have been granted accreditation.

Prof Okojie said four programmes- Cooperative Management, Entrepreneurship and Business Management, Agric Extension and Management and Hotel & Catering Management were granted full accreditation, 29 programmes were granted interim accreditation while Nursing Science was denied accreditation for failing to meet requirements.

LEADING telecommunication network, Globacom, has launched a new tariff plan, Glo Gista, which enables the network’s subscribers all over the country to talk more and spend less on calls whenever and wherever they wanted.

Announcing the new tariff plan at a press conference, on Monday, in Lagos, Globacom’s Director of Marketing, Mr Adeniyi Olukoya, said the product would radically change the way Nigerians used telephones and generally add value to life.

“With Glo Gista, Nigerians can now gist with loved ones and business associates without limit at 15 kobo per second after paying 50 kobo for the first minute of the first call for the day.

“This is the most competitive tariff plan without barrier in the Nigerian telecom industry,” Olukoya declared.

He said Glo Gista is for new and existing prepaid subscribers on the Glo network, adding that anybody who purchased a new prepaid Glo line would automatically be connected to Glo Gista and enjoy rock bottom rates while existing subscribers will dial *100*15*1 to migrate to the Glo Gista platform. He further disclosed that subscribers on the new tariff plan could also call five international destinations at N7.80 after the first minute at N15.

The countries include United States, United Kingdom, India, Canada and China.

Olukoya said subscribers on Glo Gista would also enjoy other benefits, including the current 200 per cent bonus recharge promo.

“We also have a variety of products that resonate with the people and promote happiness for the greatest number of the citizens of the country”, Mr Olukoya said.

He described Globacom as a people friendly company that regularly embarked on programmes and products, which redistributed wealth, increased happiness and transformed lives.

He urged subscribers to always make Globacom their preferred network and promised them improved quality service and products at all times.
