A 27-year-old female student based in Port Harcourt today,
emerged the winner of the MTN Ultimate Wonder AEROPLANE
Promo!
The lucky winner identified as Miss Miss Ebube Essien-Garricks
was so happy and excited when informed.
MTN has offered either an aeroplane or N64 million naira as
monetary equivalent.
Lucky Miss Ebube Essien-Garricks therefore smiled home N64m
(sixty four million naira) richer today!
myschool.com.ng/school/news/16878/27-year-old-female-portharcourt-student-wins-mtn-aeroplane.html

the question is that why does he choose him as the chairman of committe.

President Goodluck Jonathan appears to be maneuvering
to discredit the report of the Petroleum Revenue Special
Task Force, which was headed by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.
His attack dog, Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs,
Dr. Doyin Okupe, said the report appeared to be the
work of "certain quarters" to "disparage the genuine
efforts of the President to bring sanity and cleanse the
Nigerian oil sector once and for all."
On Thursday, from his office at Asokoro District of Abuja,
Okupe declared that the committee did not complete its
assignment.
One of the major terms of reference of the committee,
he said, was “to work with consultants and experts to
determine and verify all petroleum upstream and
downstream revenues (taxes, royalties, etc) due and
payable to the federal government of Nigeria” but this
aspect of the committee assignment, he claimed, was left
undone.
“Unfortunately and most regrettably, this paramount
duty of the PRSTF committee could not be accomplished
as stated in paragraph four of the covering signed by
chairman Ribadu and Secretary of the committee.
Paragraph four reads: “The data used in this report was
presented by various stakeholders who made
submissions to the Task Force… Due to the time frame of
the assignment, some of the data could not be
independently verified and the Task Force recommends
that the government should conduct such necessary
verifications and reconciliations”.
The presidential assistant noted that the implications of
the report’s paragraph four was that the committee has
issued a disclaimer to their own report which will now
make it “impossible under our laws to indict or punish
anybody except and until the federal government fully
verifies and reconciles the facts as recommended by the
committee in its submission to the government”.
He also condemned the politicization of the report and
obvious attempt in certain quarters to disparage the
genuine efforts of President Jonathan to bring sanity and
cleanse the Nigerian oil sector once and for all.
Okupe opined that unfortunately, Ribadu to some extent
advertently or inadvertently encouraged this negativism
by his claims on his Facebook page that he resisted
overtures to make him compromise the report. He
challenged Ribadu to make public those that wanted him
to doctor the report.
“His claim of an overture to him to compromise the
report is perfidious and false. We respectfully enjoin
Mallam Ribadu to be patriotic enough to name the
proponents of this compromise. If Ribadu claims that by
serving on the committee he is on the side of the
Nigerian people, on whose side is President Jonathan
whose idea it was in the first place to set up the Task
Force and approve the appointment of Mallam Ribadu as
chairman of the committee.
Okupe further condemned the leakage of the report to
Reuters and other international news media before it
was submitted to the President on Friday.

After the official announcement last week Thursday at Abuja
by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
Executive Registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde and Minister
of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Rufa’i, that from 2013,
Computer- Based Test (CBT), will be used to conduct
UTME, had since received reactions from stakeholders in
the sector.
Computer-based test is the taking of a test on computer
instead of on paper. The transition to computer-based test
is an important investment in the future of its certification
programmes. Experts have said that CBT among other
benefits, will enhance fair and precise evaluation of a
candidate’s competency, rapid turnaround of exam results,
more choices as to when and where to take the exam,
easier registration and fortified examination security.
While the UTME candidates are expected to experiment
usage of CBT next year, Rufai disclosed that the National
Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination
Council (WAEC) candidates are to prepare ahead of 2015
when it will be in full operation.
According to her, one of the objectives of the e-testing was
to ensure 100 per cent elimination of all forms of
examination malpractice that had been the major
challenge in the conduct of public examinations in the
country.
Speaking with Vanguard Learning on the issue, the Vice-
Chancellor, Bells University, Ota, Professor Adeyemi Isaac
noted that the introduction of CBT for examinations is a
welcome development in the education sector, adding, “We
are in the era of technology where students are expected
to be information communication technology-compliant.”
He, however, stated that there are some questions begging
for answers if we are to operate computer-based test. “Do
we have what it takes nationwide to operate it across
board, or do we have to experiment it with selected few in
some states?”
Education minister, Ruqayyatu Rufai
According to Adeyemi, to operate such a capital project
which has national spread, constant electricity supply must
be put in place, unless, there is an alternative means of
getting it done.
Moreover, he urged the Minister of Education to bridge
computer literacy gap between students in the village and
city, adding that many students in public schools are not
computer literate because they are not exposed to the use
of computer. “How many of those students can access the
computer? Even when they are taught theory in class, how
many of them have computer for practice,” he asked.
Asked if the computer-based test will be 100 per cent free
from examination malpractice as stated by the Minister of
Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Rufai, he debunked the
claim of total freedom from examination malpractice,
stressing that corrupt data-base contractors could be
bought over by unscrupulous students who are desperate
to pass their examinations.
Despite this limitation, Adeyemi, nevertheless pointed out
that for it to be successful, the examination body must
have about 80 per cent confidence in the person at the
database. “I know Professor Ojerinde to be a thorough
man who will not give room to laxity,” he added.
Contrary to the belief that CBT will eradicate examination
malpractice, Miss Ayo Omalolu, student of University of
Lagos said her experience last year during post-UTME
revealed that CTB will aid malpractice. According to her,
“As we were seated at the post-UTME examination hall, I
discovered that some of the students stood up within two
minutes, indicating they were through with the
examinations.
Behind me, I started hearing, ‘I have settled the guy in
charge of the database to give 80 per cent.’ With that
experience, I strongly believe that this innovation will aid
examination malpractice instead of eradicating it.”
Also, a respondent who wished to identify himself as Buje,
asked if the Professor knows exactly what he is out for,
saying, he is getting it wrong. “Before introducing such e-
testing to students, teach them how to use a computer by
adding it to their curriculum before testing them through
CBT. How many secondary schools in Nigeria are equipped
with computers?” he asked.
On his part, a man who does not want his name in print
spoke in the same vein, saying, “How can a brilliant
student in the most remote part of Nigeria who has never
got his hands on a computer due to lack of computers in
his remote school and whose parents’ incomes are so
meagre that they cannot afford to buy him one, be able to
take and pass the JAMB examination? Maybe JAMB
examination will be for the privileged few,” he added.
In his contribution, Akinlolu Oni said that computer-based
examination is a welcome development, but however
added that JAMB should ensure that the e-test and pencil-
paper for those who may wish, should be conducted
simultaneously to avoid question leakage.
For Kenneth; “JAMB should be abolished, let each
university determine its own method of admission.
Nigerian universities produced better graduates before the
introduction of JAMB. Although the computerised
examination system might be okay, but just scrap JAMB, it
is a waste of time and money.”
Besides, Yusuf Khalid, 400 level Economics student of
UNILAG in his contribution said; “JAMB records over a
million candidates annually which necessities the body to
randomly centre candidates among the 776 local
government areas in Nigeria within the jurisdiction of their
choice.
However, this might not be effective because already,
those centres available are not sufficient which periodically
pose a problem to the body and consequently hinder
effectiveness and efficiency in carrying out their activities
or exams.
Now looking at the possibility of providing computers for
more than a million candidates in a country that is
regarded as underdeveloped or less developed, this might
be impossible to implement, however some challenges are
inevitable consequent upon the introduction of this. These
are
• Time consuming factor,
• Monumental waste of resources/Resource insufficiency, •
Nigeria electricity condition, • Problem of non-
simultaneous conduction of exam,
• Disclosure of exam questions by corrupt officials and
• Mix-ups in result computation.”

The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Allison-
Maduekwe, Thursday, attributed the unrelenting attack on
her office to those she said had been frustrated from
continuing with their nefarious deals in the petroleum
sector of the economy.In an interview in Abuja on
Thursday, the minister said those who have no skeleton in
their cupboards need not be afraid of the reforms in the
sector as it was meant to benefit all Nigerians.
“A vast majority of Nigerians are happy with Mr. President
for the far reaching decisions his administration has taken
to stabilise the sector.
“Those fighting the government in the media are doing so
because we have been able to frustrate their efforts in
strangulating the economy through their devilish black
market and questionable profiteering at the expense of the
Nigeria people.
“I would not want to join issues with those criticising me
because they are crying foul that through us Mr. President
has broken the old order where things are done without
coordination.
“What is hurting them is that we have put policies in place
where they can no longer cheat the government and cause
untold hardship for millions of Nigerians” she said.
According to her, no amount of blackmail would stop her
from continuing to pursue the transformation agenda of
President Goodluck Jonathan in the oil and gas sector.
She reiterated that the few individuals angling for her sack
were doing so because she has refused to continue the
‘business as usual’ tradition in the sector of the economy.
She vowed that never
again will the
government allow the
return of the age-long
cartel in the country’s
oil and gas sector,
adding that despite the
unjustified criticism
and unfounded
allegations against her,
her greatest joy is that
majority of Nigerians
appreciate the good work her ministry and agencies are
doing to reposition the oil and gas sector.
According to her, operators and stakeholders in the oil
and gas sector that have the interest of Nigeria and
Nigerians at heart need not be afraid of her leadership
style.
While commending the cordial relationship between her
and top officials of the Ministry, including those of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),
Petroleum Pricing and Marketing Company (PPMC),
Directorate of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and other
parastatals of the Ministry, Mrs Allison-Madukwe explained
it was the harmonious relationship that has brought about
the high level successes by government in the sector.
She solicited the co-operation of Nigerians, oil companies
and other investors at all times to achieve Mr President’s
objectives for the sector, and commended the leadership
of various union in the sector for standing by President
Jonathan in the ongoing reforms of the sector.

please, SUPPORT JULIAN ASSANGE.....

Education first..............
from primary level to Higher Institution should be free..........

What's are roundup of what you as a consumer(CITIZEN) experts want the
president and NATIONAL ASSEMBLY to tackle before next election.

THE FEAR OF MR PRESIDENT , IS THE BEGINING OF ENJOYING YOUR MONEY , AFTER YOU LEAVE OFFICE.

— The Federal Government, weekend, was advised
to quickly tackle the rising rate of unemployment in the
country as its rate was estimated to be around 40 per cent
of the entire population.
The immediate past World Bank’s Vice President for Africa,
Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, who gave the advice also said: “I am
one of those Nigerians who are praying for Nigeria oil to
dry up so that our government can quickly take immediate
actions towards diversifying the nation’s source of
revenue.
Alternative to oil should emerge immediately to cure the
oil politics in our nation.”
Erstwhile Vice President of the World Bank for Africa, Dr
Oby Ezekwesili
Speaking as a guest speaker at the 16th Success Digest
Enterprises Awards Presentation Dinner, weekend, in
Lagos, the former World Bank’s Vice President and also a
recently appointed member to the Board of Directors of
Bharti Airtel in Africa, said: “Nigeria ruins its opportunities
to grow economically with the likes of Singapore, Malaysia
etc that had their independence almost the same period
with our country, simply because Nigeria lacked the
instrumentality of entrepreneurship of the public sector
which had helped its contemporaries to grow
tremendously.”
She further advised that a census on unemployment
should be carried out, saying: “The problem of
unemployment requires a more aggressive method or
identity towards addressing it, than what is currently being
done. I acknowledge that the government from the blue
print is demonstrating an effort to addressing it. The effort
should be enhanced considering the havoc unemployment
is creating in this country.
Census on unemployment
“Government at whatever level should be responsible for
addressing this and create jobs. Half of our population is
youth within the ages of 18 and 32, but about 40 per cent
of our population is unemployed. There is an average of
two million new unemployed youth every year joining the
existing stock year by year. I suggest that a census of
unemployed youth be done in Nigeria immediately.”
While speaking on the topic entitled: “Nurturing an
entrepreneurial mindset” Ezekwesili said: “Government
has a responsibility to the people by providing necessary
and adequate infrastructure needed to boost the economy.
Taxation and other levies should not be a hindrance to
business if government is able to provide every amenity
needed by entrepreneurs as it is in the United States that
is regarded as father of capitalism.
“Public sector has responsibility for describing the
direction and vision it wants the economy to go. Public
sector requires quality leadership to build good nation.
For a new Nigeria to emerge, we need a public sector that
has entrepreneurial mindset that should be able to spur
the private sector towards achieving economic growth. Our
governments have underperformed over several decades
as the country has been driven with people with deficit of
integrity, lack of confidence, lack of competence and above
all lack of structural innovation ability.”
Ezekwesili also advocated that skilled and well diagnostic
programme of entrepreneur be developed and
decentralized throughout the community within Nigeria as
part of the ways towards reducing the alarming rate of
unemployment.
