Jim Yong Kim steps down as President of
World Bank.

World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim has made the
surprise announcement that he is stepping down
after six years in the post.
His resignation will take effect from 1 February.
Mr Kim, 59, was not due to leave until 2022, after
he was re-elected for a second five-year term in
2017.
He will "join a firm and focus on increasing
infrastructure investments in developing countries",
the World Bank said.
In a statement, Mr Kim said: "It has been a great
honour to serve as President of this remarkable
institution, full of passionate individuals dedicated
to the mission of ending extreme poverty in our
lifetime".
No reason was given for his unexpected resignation.
Mr Kim's stance was at odds with US President
Donald Trump's policies on climate change, but he
had avoided public clashes with the Trump
administration.
Kristalina Georgieva, the World Bank's chief
executive officer, will assume the role of interim
president.
The World Bank has a remit to finance international
development projects. Formed in 1947 to help
rebuild European countries devastated by World War
II, it supports infrastructure projects with traditional
loans, interest-free credits, and grants.
Mr Kim, who was born in Seoul, South Korea,
trained as medical doctor before rising through the
ranks at the Bank.
He was nominated by former U.S. President Barack
Obama for his first and second terms as World
Bank president.
Positioned at 41 in Forbes' Power People 2018 list,
Mr Kim has presided over the dispersal of billions of
dollars of World Bank funding. In 2018, the
multilateral institution made financial commitments
worth $67bn .

Published January 4, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved
N161bn for the 2019 Tertiary Education Trust Fund Intervention activities in Nigerian universities, polytechnics and colleges of education. The Executive Secretary, TETFund, Dr. Abdullahi Baffa, disclosed this in Abuja on Friday at a news conference. Baffa explained that the approval of TETFund 2018 Intervention Guidelines of N161bn represented the education tax collection for 2017, which was a boost to the higher education institutions in the country. He stated that the money had been allocated to eligible institutions for 2019 intervention activities in accordance with the provisions of the TETFund Act 2011. He explained that each public university would get an allocation of N785,832,700, while each polytechnic would be given N536,703,502 from the N161bn. He also noted that each college of education
would get N510,084,900 of the amount .

‘‘ The approval of the 2018 Intervention by President Muhammadu Buhari in December 2018 heralds the commencement of the 2019 TETFund Intervention activities. ‘‘ The approved N161 billion has been allocated to eligible institutions for 2019 Intervention activities in accordance with the provisions of the TETFund Act 2011. ‘‘ Consequently, each public university will get an allocation of N785,832,700; each public polytechnic N536,703,502; and each college of education will get an allocation of N510,084,900
respectively, ’’ he said.

Baffa added that detailed breakdown of the allocations would be released after the fund would have communicated the allocation letters to the institutions. He, therefore, called on all institutions that are entitled to come to the Fund’ s head office to collect their allocation letters from Monday, January 7. The executive secretary further said the fund would focus on providing essential physical infrastructure for teaching and learning, providing support research and publication and instructional materials and equipment. He said other area of focus was funding to support academic staff training and development, as well as funding to support the maintenance of educational standards in the institutions.
‘‘ In 2018, the fund fully implemented the 2017 Revised Guidelines for accessing Intervention funds by beneficiary institutions to ease the processes of submission and approval of projects proposals for the various Intervention lines of the fund.

There is nothing like" AC" in genetics

Says who Mr Gregor Mendel, stop confusing people because you are wrong.

We should also understand that AC + AC will never produce SS. SC like AS is a carrier of the sickle cell gene, it can't be expressed.

How come the Requirement on my dashboard changed from 40 to 30 if truely they haven't reduced it
You can check yours too to confirm
#scored 57

It means the cut off is 30, but the truth is most people below 40 will hardly get admission in academic masters programme. One might be favoured in professional programmes but academics, it's a No No.

Hello Edulanders,
I didn't meet the cut off mark for Mls and a lecture told me to change to any of the following:
1. Aquaculture and fisheries management
2. Forest product and production
3. Social and Environmental forestry
4. Wildlife and ecotourism management

Please someone should advise me on what to do and explain better or tell me more about the selected; employability, theme and how easy it is to change in 200l to pharmacy or Medical laboratory science.


Thanks in anticipation

You may not be able to change to pharmacy or MLS in 200l. Don't just go for what is available, endeavor to go for what will give you fulfilment.
