Bashimi: tanks bro any news about d post ume

No news on that yet

The new session is starting months after the final exam cos the new VC has instructed everybody to vacate the school and hostel premises after the exam for renovation, but we pray for it not to occur. Its not more Dan a month or two. Good day.

SUG REBIRTH :

With the SUG election days from commencement, information circulating round the campus suggests that one of the Presidential aspirants, Comrade Ben of Chemistry Department has agreed to step down for Pelumi of Faculty of Law, an alliance that revived the latter's chances of emerging victorious.

It could be recall some months back that the election was going to be dramatic and is strictly between 'Yaradua and Shayo. With this recent development, Pelumi has stepped up his bid to becoming the next SUG President thereby blowing the tie wide open.

Before the unfortunate ASUU strike, rumours had it that Ben and Pelumi were engaged in a serious burst up in the hostel with the reason being that Pelumi's camp are sponsoring a false propaganda that Ben has stepped down for Pelumi. However, after quite a series of negotiations and meetings, it has come to fruition with Ben stepping down for Pelumi in a decision he stated to be 'in the interest of all students'.

Shayo is still ahead by virtue of the last polls but it is pertinent to realise that the permanent site is his strongest base and the same could be applicable to Pelumi and Yardua (whose strongest base is the mini campus) and with a rumour that Baba Tee has stepped down for him.
Pelumi, being from Law Faculty with many population, has previously turned the head of some students with Kerosene and other monetary gifts, he's not to be underrated as well.
With the recent alliance between Ben and Pelumi, the election has taken a new dimension and is really going to be dramatic.

Dannyxy: but it should be out by tomorrow, so it is confirmed that we will be merged right?

Yea bro......so u guys should arrange money for ur form fee and transport fee for those dat stays far from abuja....

The post utme form is not out for now!!!

UniAbuja: The VC’s Appointment And Matters Arising
ABAH ADAH— July 17, 2014
The crisis that has trailed the emergence of the new Vice-Chancellor recently at the University of Abuja is far from over as three lecturers from the ivory tower have dragged the university authorities before the National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja.
Among questions being asked for determination include; whether or not the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council of the University of Abuja, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, can legally or validly appoint Prof. Adikwu as the Vice-Chancellor of the university which is said to be in contravention of the provisions of the University (Miscellaneous Provision) Act 2003 as well as whether or not the provision of Section 8 of the Federal Character Commission (Establishment) Act is not mandatory in the appointment of a Vice-Chancellor in the University. Stakeholders are also claiming that the Governing Council of the University of Abuja failed to observe merit in the appointment process, as they alleged that “the most qualified candidate on merit, performance as well as under the Federal Character principle is Professor Umaru Garba Danbatta who scored the highest mark in the interview referred to above.”
However, from the report of the Joint Council and Senate Selection Board on the appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor for the University of Abuja, submitted to the Governing Council at its 34th Extra-Ordinary meeting of Tuesday, 24th June, 2014, and which was attached as exhibit before the court, the three candidates were shortlisted based on their academic achievements which were outlined as criteria or precondition for appointment as Vice Chancellor.
According to the report, Prof. Danbatta, who hails from Kano State, has one academic publication to his credit in the last two years and attended two international academic conferences and presented two papers. He supervised and graduated two doctoral students as well as 16 Masters’ degree students in the last ten years.
Prof. Lawal, whom the claimants alleged came second, has four academic publications to his credit in the last two years, attended one international academic conference and presented one paper. He supervised and graduated eleven Doctoral students in the last ten years.
The new Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adikwu, was alleged to have thirteen academic publications to his credit in the last two years, attended one international academic conference and presented one paper. He supervised and graduated seven Doctoral students as well as forty Post Graduate Students in the last ten years. Apart from these, the Vice Chancellor has, among other academic laurels, the prestigious Nigeria Academy of Science Award which he won in 2006, as the Nigerian best scientist of the year, a Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science and Fellow of Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria.
In terms of catchment area and geopolitical zones, Prof. Danbatta, a professor of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, is from Kano State (North West), Prof. Lawal, a professor of Language Education, is from Kwara State (North Central), and Prof. Adikwu, a professor of Pharmacy and is from Benue State (North Central).
While the claimants alleged that on the basis of the above assessment, the three top candidates were graded with Prof. Danbatta scoring the highest grade of 86 per cent in the screening and interview exercise, Prof. Lawal came second by scoring 73 per cent and Prof Adikwu came third with 65 per cent, they however failed to provide the basis of the score as the alleged second and third candidates seemed to be better in terms of academic output., which was said to have been a critical factor in the choice of the new vice chancellor.
The claimants are praying the court for a declaration that the purported appointment of Prof. Adikwu as Vice Chancellor by the Governing Council of University of Abuja “is null and void and of no effect whatsoever.” They are equally seeking an order compelling the Governing Council to observe merit and the provisions of the university miscellaneous Act and the Federal Character Commission’s Act and the 1st defendant’s Senate Rules in proceedings of the appointment of the post of the Vice-Chancellor. As a result the asked the court to make an order compelling the Governing Council to appoint the candidate with the highest score on his merit and performance in the screening and interview.
Meanwhile, President of the National Industrial Court, Justice Babatunde Adejumo affirmed that the matter will be assigned to a judge of the court and hearing notices will be served on parties.
However, what stakeholders are worried about is not the crisis in itself; it is the future of the university which over the years has suffered a whole gamut of set-backs ranging from poor infrastructural development to academic and administrative crises. And based on the facts above, it is clear that the authorities not only considered the result of the screening and interview but also looked into the catchment area and past performances of the three selected applicants and saw that the newly appointed VC has a richer credential and what it takes to steer the long embattled university to enviable greatness.

Breaking News*The leadership of ASUU University of Abuja has called of the strike after the union decided to accept Professor Michael Umale Adikwu as the institution's vice -chancellor. The institution's ASUU chairman called off the nearly two-months old strike following a decision of the three university lecturers who took the new v.c to court due to his un-merited appointment as the v.c of the institution to accept him as the vice-chancellor of the school. The management of the school will throw open the school gates for students as from Tuesday, 15th July, 2014.

The Rebirth At UniAbuja
On Monday, June 30, 2014, a new
vice chancellor, Prof. Michael
Umale Adikwu, was appointed to
run the University of Abuja for
the next five years.
25 years after the university’s
inception in 1988, and with over
N35 billion spent, what you have
is a temporary site at
Gwagwalada, that is little more
than a glorified secondary school
and a permanent site along Giri
Airport Road that is defined by
inadequate, poorly built,
abandoned and dilapidated
buildings that dot the massive
but under-utilised land mass of
the university.
Besides infrastructure, academic
development in the university
has also been woeful as it has
been characterised by an
epileptic work schedule, owing
to incessant strike actions often
by the local unions and
sometimes by their national
bodies. Even when in session,
tales of malpractices by the
lecturers and students are
commonplace.
Government has responded to all
these by setting up a number of
visitation panels, the last one
which was the presidential
special visitation panel of 2012.
The report of that panel had far
reaching recommendations,
including sack of the Prof.
Adelabu-led management of the
university and that the vice
chancellor to be appointed next
should come from outside the
university.
This particular recommendation
was sequel to the intractable
problems of the university that
had pitched the dons into two
main divides and several but
nefarious cleavages.
Unfortunately, the government
has failed or refused to issue a
White Paper on the
recommendations despite
repeated demands by the local
ASUU, the national body and even
the council of the university.
Sources say that the recent
appointment of a new vice
chancellor was one exercise that
tasked the experience of Gen.
Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia
(rtd), the pro-chancellor and
chairman of the council. Dr
Ogbemudia’s council received an
unprecedented 123 applicants
from eminent professors,
however only 10 were
shortlisted for the interview.
It was also gathered that the
selection board forwarded
Professor Umaru Danbatta,
Abdulraheem Lawal and Michael
Adikwu with 83 per cent, 73 per
cent and 65 per cent respectively,
to the council. However, a group
in the council insisted on
Professor Danbatta since he
scored the highest votes and his
northwest geopolitical zone
hadn’t any of the university’s
principal officers. This group,
made up of six (6) council
members abstained from voting
as it became clear to them that
the other group made up of
eight ( members was going to
win.
They were reported to have
blank ballot papers, while the
other 8 voted for Professor
Adikwu. The Universities
(miscellaneous provisions)
(Amendment Act 2003, provides
that the selection board
recommends three candidates to
the council from which one will
be appointed. What is important
is that three persons were
recommended by the selection
board and that one of the three
was appointed.
Paradoxically, it appears that a
good man has emerged from
this controversy, that is the new
vice chancellor himself, Prof.
Michael N. Adikwu. He was the
most unlikely of all the
candidates. He is a professor of
pharmacy, a course not offered
in the university. He is a from
Benue state in the north central,
the least favoured zone for the
job. According to an inside
source, he was least expected,
but Prof. Adikwu emerged as one
of the three candidates, which
became the nemesis of the
schemers that were caught
napping and became victims of
their own conspiracy.
Prof. Adikwu is a thoroughbred
academic, prolific writer with
over 220 research publications in
local and international journals
over 100 conference papers and
10 text books to his credit. He is
a fellow of the Nigerian Academy
of science, a Fellow of the
Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria,
an Honorary Fellow of the
Science Teachers Association of
Nigeria, President of the
Nanomedicine Society of Nigeria,
etc. He is also the winner of the
prestigious May and Baker Price
for Excellence in the practice of
Pharmacy and the Nigerian Price
for Science etc.
The pro-chancellor and council
chairman, Dr. Samuel Osaigbovo
Ogbemudia, who is reported to
have drawn up a long
programme of action for the
new vice chancellor, charged him
to hit the ground running. Not
surprising, Prof. Adikwu upon
taking over on the 1st of July,
2014, immediately swung into
action by immediately meeting
with the unions to resolve issues
surrounding the ongoing strike
action, amongst many other
things.
Osaretin Osadebamwen wrote in
from Abuja

COURT SACKS UNIABUJA VC
*REPS ORDER PROBE.
THE Industrial Court, on
Thursday,
restrained the vice chancellor
of
the University of Abuja,
Professor
Mike Adiukwu, from presiding
over the affairs in the troubled
institution.
President of the Industrial
Court,
Justice B.A. Adejumo, gave an
ex-
parte order, following an
application by a university
lecturer, Dr Raji Rasheed and
two
others.
This is coming barely a week
after his appointment,
following
the retirement of Professor
Adebiyi Adelakun.
The court also restrained the
governing council of the
university from taking any step
to implement the report of the
Joint Council and Senate
Selection
Board on the appointment of
the
new vice chancellor.
However, it directed that the
originating summons be
served
on the university’s governing
council, the vice chancellor and
six other respondents.
The applicants asked the court
to
restrain Adiukwu from
parading
himself as vice chancellor,
pending the determination of
the
Motion on Notice.
The order read: “It is,
therefore,
ordered that the first, second,
third and sixth defendants/
respondents, their agents,
privies, assigns, servants,
however, so called from taking
steps to appoint the seventh
defendant/ respondent as the
new vice chancellor of the
University of Abuja in any
manner whatsoever and from
performing the duties/and all
other functions of the office of
the vice chancellor of the
university, pending the
determination the Motion on
Notice in this case.”
Meanwhile, the House of
Representatives , on
Thursday,
resolved to set up an ad hoc
committee to investigate the
roles played by the governing
council of the University of
Abuja
in the recent recruitment of the
university’s vice chancellor.
The ad hoc committee, when
constituted by the leadership
of
the House, are expected to
report
its findings and
recommendations within
seven
days.
The resolution was sequel to a
motion moved by Honourable
Pally Iriase.”
According to him, “this
discontentment is fast
assuming
ethno-religious colouration,
which may spell doom for the
University of Abuja as an ivory
tower and has far-reaching
implications for Nigeria in the
longrun.”
Speaking further, he said “the
discontentment stems from
alleged injustice, discrimination
and unfairness in the
processes
leading to the said
appointment,
which led to the dropping of
first
and second candidates who
scored over 80 per cent and 70
per cent to pave the way for
the
candidate who scored a little
above 60 per cent.”
The lawmaker also stated that
“a
situation, where a third placed
candidate was chosen in
preference to the other two
frontrunners in the
competition
for the post of the vice
chancellor
requires convincing
explanation
from the university governing
council.”
To this end, he stated that
there
was urgent need to stop the
intractable problems
bedevilling
the Nigerian university system
arising from brazen disregard
for merit, fairness and justice.
He however, said that “unless
steps are taken to
courageously
address the discontentment in
the University of Abuja
community, the matter may
lead
to avoidable unrest.”
When the motion was put to
vote
by the Speaker, Honourable
Aminu Tambuwal, it was
unanimously supported by
members.
