Xtruzz:
Kindly confirm the authenticity of this recent development to keep the faith of the NDLEA new intakes.

1. Someone who’s informed about the happening around the Presidency stated that Mr. President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has distanced itself from the NDLEA recruitment exercise.

2. He further stated that the process was initiated by the previous administration and wasn’t approve during his administration as he doesn’t have money to pay the new intakes.

3. Someone seated in the brief meeting also added that the training which was supposed to last 6months was hurriedly concluded in 3months hence, something isn’t right Mr. President, the man concludes.

I also learnt the new recruits are ask to resume January and resumption will never come. Could this be true? Or are the new recruits receiving salary already

Could this be true please? Have you by chance heard stuffs like this

Not true, even the previous set training is 3 months for junior cadre.

The federal government says it will establish oil and gas free trade zones in all the 36 states as efforts to attract viable investments in states.


The Managing Director of the Oil and Gas Free Zones Authority (OGFZA), Bamanga Jada Usman made the disclosure yesterday at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja upon assumption of office following his appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu last week.

“It is my firm intent to champion the establishment of Oil and Gas Free Zones in every state of our great nation, both oil-producing and non-oil-producing. This expansion aims to offer more investment avenues considering some of our current zones that face saturation from limited opportunities for fresh activities.


“Our unique positioning in the oil and gas sector, catering predominantly to international clientele, warrants advancements tailored to their needs. Recognising this, as such I am committed to introducing offshore banking services, ensuring seamless 24/7 international financial transactions, further cementing our position as a key global player in the industry,” he explained.

The immediate past MD of the agency, Sen. Tijjani Kaura charged the staff and management to accord support needed by the new leadership to actualise Nigeria’s oil and gas free zones drive.

Federal Government says only the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs has the mandate to certify payments of All govt projects; Zonal Intervention Projects, ZIP/Constituency Projects, CP, executed by Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.

The Head, Press and Public Relation Officer of the ministry, Anastasia Ogbonna, made this known in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.
According to Mrs Ogbonna, the federal government made this known in a Servicewide Circular titled: “Revised Guidelines on the Implementation of Zonal Intervention Projects (ZIP) and Constituency Projects (CP)”.

The circular which was signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume stated that:

“No payment shall be made to any contractor for ZIP/CP by MDAs without verification of the execution of such projects/programmes and certification by the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs.

“Implementing MDAs shall invite the ministry to verify all (ZIP/CP) as contained in both ZIP Appropriation and Capital Appropriation.”

The circular, according to Mrs Ogbonna, added that non-compliance with the guidelines will lead to lack of proper implementation of the programmes and projects.

On the issue of funding for the verification exercise, the circular stated: “Funds for the purpose of this verification exercise shall be sourced from the Project Administration Funds of the ZIP/CP under the purview of the various MDAs”.

The circular further stated that it had become imperative to reissue it again, following flagrant disregard by implementing MDAs.

“Henceforth, MDAs that fail to comply with this circular shall be excluded from the implementation of ZIP/CP in subsequent Federal Government budgets.”

PRESS RELEASE:

Top-Up Program Beyond NUC’s Jurisdiction, Says NBTE

The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has cleared the air over the proposed Top-Up program in foreign offshore accredited universities for Nigerian HND holders, saying the program is entirely beyond the jurisdiction of the National Universities Commission (NUC).

The Executive Secretary NBTE, Professor Idris Bugaje stated this in a letter to the Hon Minister of Education in response to questions bordering on the newly initiated HND Top-Up Program using offshore credit transfer admission.

According to Bugaje, HND holders who choose to pursue an academic career, at the moment, have no progression path except through the Postgraduate Diploma and anytime they wish to switch to Universities as lecturers after their Ph.D., they are always queried to produce their first degree.

Proffering a lasting solution to the HND–BSc crisis, therefore, Bugaje has implored the Minister to convince President Bola Tinubu to sign the Anti-Dichotomy Bill into law, assuring that it will bring an end to the unwarranted and undeserved discrimination against HND holders in Nigeria.

The ‘top-up’ or ‘credit transfer admissions’ by foreign universities is being mooted as an alternative to the PGD.

According to reports, six Nigerian Universities have shown interest in joining the Top-Up program but the Board has not responded to their request as NUC may not give them approval.

The letter reads in part: “I write to update you on the media response last week of the National Universities Commission (NUC) of Nigeria to an NBTE-initiated progression for HND holders through the Top-Up program in foreign (offshore) accredited universities.

“Only the FME Division of Evaluation and Accreditation has the power to assess the foreign degrees (not NUC) after the students have graduated and may seek that.

“NBTE only provides HND Curricula content for credit mapping and eventual credit transfer admissions. The admissions are done by foreign universities and their Senates make awards of degrees not NBTE. In fact, the entire process is designed to operate seamlessly without NBTE.

“NBTE also has no financial benefit in the whole exercise though we requested low tuition of a maximum of about 10% of regular fees since course delivery is online”.

NUC, from its press release, seems to dislike online programs, attempting to take us back to the 20th Century. Online programs are today a globally accepted mode of Education delivery, especially in the 21st Century. Nigerian educational policy has accommodated that with an Open University approved by the Federal Government and NBTE-approved Open Distance Flexible and e-Learning (ODFeL) Centres being operated by 36 Polytechnics at the moment, and the number is growing.

Nigerian HNDs are much respected globally. Many European countries give them direct admissions for Masters. Last year, a shining example was Miss Islamiyat Ojelade, HND Distinction in Science Lab Technology (Biochemistry) graduate from the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, who last year received PhD admissions and Scholarships from seven (7) top US Universities, without the BSc. and not even MSc. Let us therefore start respecting our HNDs here at home and stop this discrimination by NUC and others with this mindset.

Duduharold:
Let him go to Nassarawa State University Keffi. It's a part- time programme, which would run for two years, and on weekends too. The programme normally, is 6 years. But because he has an HND already, he will be admitted for part 5 and he will only spend two years.
