That’s ojo in Lagos not Akwa ibom

Mumu, you don’t know that Obi is hurting Atiku in SE, SS, Lagos, Oyo and ondo, Nasarawa, Abuja, Benue, Taraba, plateau, Kaduna and Kano.

There’s nothing new here. They presented this offer last month.
FG set up 3 committees on this renegotiation issues. The 3 committees engaged ASUU and arrived at different reports at different times through collective bargaining.
FG abandoned the report of her committees to award 23 percent increment. How did they arrive at the so called 23 percent?
Tax in the federal universities are at 19 percent and you are awarding 23 percent which will go through tax. (Ippis do tax everything)
A chief teacher who’s like the rank of a senior lecturer in the polytechnic earns more than a university professor.
Adamu Adamu is simply wasting his time with this propaganda of 23 percent.
They should go and implement the report of the Nimi Briggs committee for ASUU to suspend this strike

tinsel:
These boys will not kill one. They have PhD in lies.

What’s the lie there?
A candidate informed you that his scheduled interview was rescheduled with a new date and time mentioned. I know you are used to lies from politicians..... sorry dear, Peter is here to change the narrative

Nigeria now has about 20 million out-of-school children, according to the latest global data on out-of-school children by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).

UNESCO, which says a new and improved methodology was used to arrive at the latest figures, said there are “244 million children and youth between the ages of 6 and 18 worldwide (who) are still out of school.”

According to the statistics, India, Nigeria and Pakistan have the highest figures for out-of-school children globally.

The figures in Nigeria have oscillated between 10.5 million and around 15 million for more than a decade, with the situation growing worse due to the degenerating security situation in the country.

UNESCO announced the figures in a statement issued on Thursday, a copy of which was made available to PREMIUM TIMES by Dafalia Dimitra, a media specialist, with the Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM), which is developed by an independent team and published by UNESCO.

The global organisation said the team developing the report “has the official mandate of monitoring progress in meeting the Sustainable Development Goal on education, SDG 4.”

The statement read in part: “The new estimates, published online by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, show that sub-Saharan Africa remains the region with the most children and youth out of school with 98 million children and young people excluded from education. It is also the only region where this number is increasing; out-of-school rates are falling more slowly than the rate at which the school-age population is growing.

“The region with the second highest out-of-school population is Central and Southern Asia with 85 million. The top three countries with the most children and youth excluded from education are India, Nigeria and Pakistan.”

According to the Director of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, Silvia Montoya, efficient use of the available data is important to address the gaps towards achieving the fourth goal of the SDGs.

“UNESCO has long underscored the need to make more efficient use of the data we have. That’s why we’ve brought together administrative data with information from surveys and censuses. By using multiple data sources, gaps are filled, data trends are smoothed, and we can draw consistent time series,” the official said.

New methodology
According to UNESCO, the new methodology combines multiple data sources, and it has been used in the past to estimate flagship health indicators, such as maternal and infant mortality rates.

It said this is the first time it has been used in education, “marking a significant improvement to the robustness of the estimates.”

Speaking on this, UNESCO’s Assistant-Director General for Education, Stefania Giannini, said; “Global out-of-school numbers are lower than we thought, but far too many children are still missing out. Countries have committed to benchmarks to slash out-of-school numbers by over half by 2030. We must identify solutions during the Transforming Education Summit called by the United Nations Secretary-General this September so that countries can deliver on these pledges. All children should have access to quality education.”

UNESCO said important data gaps have been filled in countries with large out-of-school numbers “but where no administrative data of good quality has been available for over a decade.” It listed the countries in this category to include Nigeria “which has an estimated 20 million children and youth out of school, Ethiopia (10.5 million), the Democratic Republic of Congo (5.9 million) and Kenya (1.8 million).”

“With UNESCO’s help, 90% of countries have now set national SDG 4 benchmarks for 2025 and 2030, including on out-of-school rates. We must step up our support for those who are being deprived of their opportunities, keeping a watchful eye on those who have struggled on their return after COVID-related school closures,” said Manos Antoninis, Director of the Global Education Monitoring Report.

The statement further noted that the estimation process incorporates the latest country data in 2021 to be released by the UIS on September 13. “A preliminary assessment suggests that while primary and lower secondary education enrolment has not been affected, there might be some impact on upper secondary enrolment. More information is needed in the coming year to assess the impact.”

Gender gap
The global body said the new estimates confirm that the difference in the rate of girls and boys out of school has been considerably reduced.

“Globally, the gaps of 2.5 percentage points among primary school age children and of 3.9 percentage points among upper secondary school age youth in 2000 have been reduced to zero,” UNESCO noted.

About GEM report
UNESCO said the report gives the most accurate and comprehensive measure of the numbers of children and young people excluded from education.

It noted that to assist the education community in choosing the right questions and finding the corresponding answers, “the complete set of out-of-school rate results have been made available by the UIS and GEM Report teams on VIEW. The website makes available out-of-school rates and numbers at global, regional and national levels.”

It also said the model estimates aim to update the regional and global figures and the country figures for which data has not been available to date. “They do not replace the country’s out-of-school data that UIS reports twice a year.”

This tweet doesn’t look like Obi ambushed the PDP leaders as speculated by this gutter journalists at Nation

You are a pathetic liar. Worse than the Tinubu you are scared of l!!! Just went through all you 92 comments from 2020. You had all along leaned towards Atiku. You even commented on Obi positioning himself as a vp to Atiku. Come out with your full chest ( if there’s any). Stop hiding under pretentious means to campaign.

The base is getting United.
By august, we face the north. For mow northern elders are doing the under ground work

Abia state university teaching hospital just lost accreditation last 2 months. Absu can no longer admit nor graduate medical students. Now a whole Poly lost accreditation

The National Board for Technical Education, on Tuesday, announced the withdrawal of the accreditation status of the Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, due to the non-payment of staff salaries and allowances for over 30 months.

This was contained in a statement by the NBTE’s Head, Media Department, Fatima Abubakar, in Kaduna State.

It said the Board took the decision when it realised that the management of the polytechnic was not committed to upsetting the arrears and ensuring regular payment of salaries of its workers.

The Board said that, on several occasions, it had warned the management of the institution, noting that “regular payment of salary is one of the key components of the Board’s normative instruments for quality assurance in the polytechnics, and Technical & Vocational Education and Training institutions under her purview.

“The Board had drawn the attention of the polytechnic to the dangers of non-payment of salaries, including the suspension of quality assurance visits.

“The Governing Council and management of the polytechnic made several failed promises to settle the backlog of salary arrears and ensure regular payment of staff salaries.

“The Board went the extra mile of writing His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, informing him of the dire situation of the polytechnic but all to no avail.”

Against the backdrop, the Board said it had no option but to withdraw the accreditation status of the polytechnic just to safeguard the quality assurance mechanism of the Board as well as to ensure that students were not left at the mercy of demoralised staff that might resort to ‘under the table’ practices to survive.

Meanwhile, the Board has warned the National Youth Service Corps that “no product of the Abia State Polytechnic should be mobilised for national service until the management of the polytechnic resolves the issue of nonpayment of salary to its staffers, while the Board promised to notify the NYSC once the accreditation status of the polytechnic is restored.”

Besides, the Board said notice of the withdrawal of the accreditation of the polytechnic had been sent to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund and Industrial Training Fund in order to stop any official transaction with the polytechnic by those organisations.

“Polytechnic proprietors across the country are advised to take regular payment of salaries of staff seriously as failure could lead to loss of accreditation,” it added.

Tell us about the pee poo Tinubu whose only contribution is sniffing cocaine

Let me burst ur ego,
I’m not a supporter of Tinubu. I only reacted to those ministers that were mentioned. For me, I believe Osinbajo remains our nest choice for 2023

Even Ogbonnaya onu that couldn’t produce the pencil standard he set for himself.

Nwajuba’s fight with ASUU members will be his
undoing. This is not Imo fight where he used Accord party to rig himself to NASS

Amaechi is a serial noisemaker. Building transport university in daura and your recent penchant for turbans and chieftaincy tittles will not save you.

Ngige is the chief joker in this pack. Uncultured and mannerless. He’s even fighting with his traditional ruler. Utterances with ASUU is in public domain.

Dear Akpabio, this is not PDP. You stand no chance here.

Person wey no win federal house seat Dey contest for governor. Folks be fo.0ling themselves

OyeofIkoTuN:
well let me tell you real life koko about the bridge since I stay close. it won't and can't be ready by 2023..Only the river niger aspect of the bridge is being done, how do you get to the bridge? what roads? where is the beginning and the end..? they are just joining the pillars or slabs or whatever only on the river..No road leading to the bridge

Stop misinforming people. The access road to the bridge is ready since last year. The bridge starts at obosi junction down to Ogbaru then u cross it up to corker in Asaba. The roads are ready and I think the only thing remaining is the asphalting of the bridge. This rubbish you wrote just shows that you don’t stay close to the bridge
