Nigeria’s Agriculture University, FUNAAB, sacks professor, two other lecturers for plagiarism


The dismissals came on the heel over school-wide disciplinary exercise.

A professor and an assistant lecturer in the Chemistry Department of the Federal University of Agriculture, FUNNAB, Abeokuta have had their appointments terminated based on a allegations of plagiarism.

The professor, Janet Bamgbose, and the assistant lecturer, Akeem Bamigbade, were fired during the just concluded 76th statutory council meeting of the university which held two weeks ago. Mrs. Bamgbose was a Reader in the Chemistry Department prior to her dismissal.

The sack is coming about a month after another Nigerian university, the University of Calabar in Cross River State, sacked four lecturers also for plagiarism. Another was sacked for financial fraud.

“The academic staff dismissed for outright plagiarism include Dr Azubuike Iloeje and Dr Maurice Bisong of the Department of English and Literary Studies, Mr. Oden Ubi (Department of Marketing) and Dr Paulinus Noah of the Department of Linguistics and Communication Studies,” the Registrar of the Calabar University had said.

Two other lecturers from the Chemisty Department of the Agriculture University were demoted from Lecturer I to Lecturer II also based on alleged plagiarism.

According to an official release in the university bulletin, reference FUNAAB/VC/PRD.08/42 and dated May 10, 2013, the names of the demoted lecturers are Mojisola Nkiko and Ahmed Akinyeye.

The disciplinary exercise was extended to other departments in the school with a director at the Department of Works and Services of the University, Omolola Banjo, suspended from duty without pay for three months for alleged conduct prejudicial to discipline and good governance; while two Chief Technical Assistants, Vitus Chukwu and Oluwasina Akinbola of the same department, who were said to have engaged in personal trade and business without permission, were given warnings. A senior clerical officer of the Asset Department, Olalekan Adebisi, was dismissed for alleged non-remittance of journal page charges to the university’s journal account.

However, thirty-six lecturers’ promotions were also approved by the university authorities. The promotions were back dated, officially taking effect from September 30, 2011, October 1, 2011 and October 1, 2012 for various categories of lecturers.

Good news!!! More action. Eko o ni baje o!!!

An insider will be a good candidate.

That is a question
dominating discussions n several quarters
both locally and internationally.
It became
prominent subsequent to the
announcement in March by the current and
10thGovernor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi that
he would not be seeking a second time.
Since then, there have been predictions
and speculations on who would succeed
him.

there is an array of bank chief
executives and top economist to choose
from. These include, Mr, Bisi Onasanya, MD/
CEO of First Bank, Mr. Segun Agbaje, MD/
CEO of Guaranty Trust Bank, Mr Alex Otti,
MD/CEO of Diamond Bank Plc and Mr.
Aigboje Aig-Imoukhoude, MD/CEO of Acess
Bank.

Who do u think will be the next Governor of CBN?

mdmola: Good day, Brabus.
Do you by any chance know if there are books out there preferably ebooks which explain how buildings in Nigeria are constructed from start to finish. Relevant books are welcome. I'm doing a dissertation on construction technology and sustainability issues in Nigeria.

Thanks.

Hello sir/ma

I just bought a Full Plot of land measuring an area of approximately 455.00sq.mts situated in Oyo State. this land already have a survey plan Red Copy and Plan Number

Now want to start up this project but I dont know how to start as I am a novice in building projects. I have been following the property section for sometime now. I intend building a storey building with 4 flats (two flat up and two flat down) each flat with be a 3 bedrooms.

please builders and Professionals, i actually spoke with someone about this but i believe i need to table this issue here for house to

i have this problem with my baby car, in the morning, it took longtime to change from gear 1 to 2. after that, the gear select normally. but as soon as i leave the car for like say 1 to 2hrs, it takes some time to change again.

though, i travel with the car always (lag to IB) without problem when it started changing gear.

I have changed the ATF (Oando dextron if i am correct) like 3 times since i bought the car last year. i also observe that the car jerks when moving the gear from P to D or P to R.

i have changed the engine seat,gear filter and i was told the gear seat is ok but the problem persist.

Make = Mitsubishi
model = Carisma
Year = 1998
Engine Size = 1.6

kindly save my baby from total break down.

thank you in advance auto gurus!!!

Siena: Aircon will affect fuel consumption more in slow traffic, more so if your compressor cycles on and off regularly (as it will if low on gas). The factor here is inertia, more energy is required on compressor start-up, and with an automobile travelling at low speeds, there's more drag (load) on the engine, requiring more energy to drive it.

At highway speeds, the effect of the compressor engaged on fuel consumption is negligible. Running at highway speeds with the aircon switched off, and the windows open will have a greater effect on fuel consumption, as open windows will alter the aerodynamics of the automobile, causing drag. The CD value (drag coefficient) can rise from lets say 0,28 to 0,43 with windows open.

It's worth noting though that modern automobile are switching from clutch-type (fixed displacement) compressors to variable displacement units, that have less drag, and consequently have less effect on fuel consumption.

Auto Siena, u are the best, just believe it!!!!

I dey laugh ooo!!!

Where are all GEJ apologist? I nid them to explain this to me. too bad to believe. Oh Lord direct our leaders right.

Ola0711: This is a shame to APC/CPC..the only state CPC is controlling is nothing to write home about...GEJ TILL 2019

Keep dreaming!!!

U guys should wake up, u cant say because 5 states in naija hav constant (not possible anyway) light, then the whole Nigeria enjoy constant light. We have spent billion of dollar to solve this problem and yet nothing to show off.

oddy4real: I stay at Bar Beach Towers, Bishop Oluwole Crescent, Victoria Island and we have light for AT LEAST, 18 hours a day.
In my residence at Oluyole in Ibadan too, the same is obtainable!

Oga, which side for oluyole? Just hear ur self, d whole Ibadan city, you are talking about Oluyole alone. Wake up guy!!!

Sincere 9gerian: Why cant these shameless ACN/APC propagandists post comments about light situation in their own area and allow others to freely do the same? Why do the ACN/APC propagandists try to bully anyone that admits to improved power supply? Why is the ACN/APC propagandists LOSING SLEEP because of the progress we'r seeing in almost every sector? Why is the ACN/APC propagandists anti-progress?
We need answers

Why do u always attack other people. I hav the right to my opinion. We are talking of the whole country and you ar talking about a small area in lagos. That's is rubbish if u don't knw. Go to every state in nigeria and ask abt ur president I bet u, u will run away. Ojodu to d whole nation. Useless pple.

Hello everybody,

Anytime I engage my car in Reverse R or Drive D, it usually make some big sound and cause the car to vibrate. My mechanic advise me to change the engine seat which I did but the problem persist.

I also carried out a scan of the car but nothing was discovered.

Make: Mitsubishi Carisma 1998 model
Engne size: 1.6
Auto transmission.
Please can this be a gear problem or what?

Kindly help me out.

Thank you.

APC, A Pill Nigerians Must Swallow By Lauretta Onochie


By Lauretta Onochie

Many years ago, before the advent of Paracetamol, APC was the medicine for headache, stomachache and indeed, all aches and pains. Today Nigeria has a headache, a bellyache and all known and unknown aches a d pains. The good news is that we know the cause of most of these aches. Diagnosis? Corruption and the poor leadership of the PDP! But it looks like the good old tablet,  APC is back in Nigeria; not in chemists and pharmacies, but as a political conglomeration that promises to heal Nigeria of many of her aches and pains, commonly known as PDP wahala. It is the ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC).

Hear them, "We resolve to form a political party committed to the principles of internal democracy, focused on serious issues of concern to OUR PEOPLE, determined to bring corruption and insecurity to an end, determined to grow our economy and create jobs in their millions through education, housing, agriculture, industrial growth etc, and stop the increasing mood of despair and hopelessness among OUR PEOPLE.” In one short sentence, they used 'Our people' twice... Yet, Nigerians are sceptical about APC and their real intentions.

Nigeria is a nation where different groups of people in leadership have come to promise us heaven on earth, only to turn around to confine us to hell by impoverishing us the more. The present reality is the Peoples Democratic Party PDP. These people, since 1999, have made millionaires out of their immediate families and friends. That has also changed. They began to make billionaires out of their cronies and now, we are at a stage where many suspect that there might be more Dollars in Nigeria than in America as they continue to make 'Dollarnaires' out of their close associates.

Nigerians have met disappointments at every turn of their recent political history. Where we have been promised bread, we got stones and where we were promised soup, sludge was forced down our throats. Its all too recent and still raw as we all are now choking from air pollution, not only from the fumes from our electric-generating sets but from the corrosive materials in the breathe of fresh air we were promised by the current ruling party and its arrowhead of corruption, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

We, as a people have come to the stage where we lost all hopes in our leaders and consequently, in our nation. They have cheated us out of our national inheritance. They have run down our national infrastructures and left them in their dilapidated states. Examples are our roads and hospitals. They have, through their greed reduced our life expectancies to 47 and 45 respectively for men and women. They have made us look small among the comity  of nations. We have become a people who are no longer warmly welcomed to other nations. Close to home, some African nations have been brave to voice the fact that we are bad news. Our leaders have become the butt of jokes as they go around the globe parading ignorance.

The Nigerian print and electronic media mostly became instruments of misinformation for peddling lies, innuendoes, gossips and propaganda in favour of those who use our collective wealth to suppress the truth. And then the Social Media emerged! Subdued Nigerians found a live wire. Many began joining the social network such as Twitter and Facebook. Some went in with their body, soul and spirit. Others went in slowly and cautiously.  And then, it exploded! Nigerians threw caution to the wind, taking the bull by the horn. They went for the jugular, chocking the day light out of the present inept, corrupt and clueless government of President Jonathan. Nigerians on the Social media used it to their maximum benefit, exposing the corruption, ineptitude, incompetence and the waste that were and are still the hallmark of this sick government.

But this government, this sick government of President Jonathan still refuses medication. It struggles on, refusing to see that the people they asked to serve needed to be served. This sick government that refused to take all prescribed medications devised means of avoiding contact with Nigerians for fear of being lynched by angry Nigerians. Private jets became the new means of mass transit  for our corrupt leaders and their friends, along with their religious associates. Nigeria's Independent celebration events which we looked forward to as children in Nigeria, became a private affair. Children in our nation have not been given the opportunity, even on children's day to interact with the man who decides on their behalf.

The new found confidence of Nigerians, armed with the deluge of authenticated data on the corrupt activities of the present administration of President Jonathan, gave wings to the courageous showings of the #OccupyNigeria Movement a year ago. That became the first arrow shot in recent times by the Nigerian people at their ignoble leaders to put them on notice that it would no longer be business as usual. A lot more corruption has been unearthed and exposed since then and all we hear from them are denials, denials and more denials. The complicity of our National assembly is not in doubt neither is the collusion of our judiciary. It is common knowledge that people, (yes they are Nigerians), are eager to keep the Boko Haram crises going because of the huge gains from the unaccountable security votes for that region. "Vampires" I call them. Those who flourish and bask in the blood of others are called vampires.

Nigerians, ordinary Nigerians are therefore left to their own devices as unemployment soars. Lynching popularly known as jungle-justice and mass raping have become popular in a nation that has lost her morals and community spirit. Campus prostitution, armed robbery, kidnapping, human-trafficking fraud and scamming etc are now ways of earning a living in a nation blessed with huge natural a d human resources.

Therefore,  I must say that I clearly understand the apathy, suspicion, scepticism and distrust with which some of us view APC, the soup-pot or what some of us call a collection of strange bed-fellows. After all, some of these apothecaries who prepared this APC, have been in the forefront of the Nigerian politics for decades and have not been part of the solution, to say the least. However, we must look beyond the people who are the principal players in APC now. If one was drowning, and someone threw him a life line, he would grab it and ask questions later about the identity of the life saver. Our nation is sinking. We have no time to dilly-dally. Our problem had been that we did not have a united opposition in our nation that was proactive. Now we do. One has presented itself.

A party like this APC is what many of us have been campaigning for. There is no way we are going to have an opposition that is led by people we do not know. Nigerians and indeed the world, are predisposed to starting from the known to the unknown.  Many people may not know how tediously many of our well meaning youth have worked to build a solid opposition, but were not taken seriously because they are not known. This is a chance Nigerians must take with both hands and firmly plant their feet on. APC is made up of the known at the present but unless we all join at this its inception, the unknown would remain in the background.

I therefore, appeal to Nigerians, especially our youth population, to join, no, to invade this APC. Its only when we are in that we can have a say from the beginning and make the necessary changes like standing against god-fatherism, mediocrity, tribalism, nepotism and other vices. Once we allow them become a cabal, we would have ourselves to blame.

Nigeria was standing between the devil and the deep blue sea and suddenly, a ship appears out of the deep blue sea.  This may be our last chance to recover our nation by ourselves through democratic means. It is not going to be easy-sailing but we are the ones that must make the difference. When the known leaders begin to show self interests, we the unknown Nigerians in APC would be the ones to keep them in check and insist on what we want for our nation or push then aside. Nigerians must arise and hijack this party for their benefit. With PDP, we are outsiders. We don't want to be outsiders with APC too.

Suddenly, there is a light at the end of the tunnel

I wasn't expecting the FJC to make advert by old manual method. Are they telling us that everybody that want to apply for the job must come to abuja or what?

I think we have the right to apply irrespective of our location. This should be ONLINE.

We all kwn they have concluded the exercise before advertising it. God Bless Nigeria.
