Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has approved the disbursement of the sum of N26.4m, as bursary to students of the state in all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

The Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, Mr Foluso Daramola, who made this known to newsmen yesterday in Ado-Ekiti, disclosed that government had made electronic payments to the bank accounts of a total of 2,646 students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria, who were beneficiaries of the bursary awards.

According to the Commissioner, government would soon disburse funds for the state scholarship scheme for deserving undergraduates and post-graduate students of the state, studying in Nigeria. Daramola advised students who might have complaints with regards to the bursary payment to visit the Ekiti State Scholarship Board at the state secretariat in Ado-Ekiti, after the lockdown. Related

@n-power, At exactly 2pm today, (wednesday, 13/12/17), an official later came around to the proported verification venue, Ekiti Parapo College, Ido ekiti.

He pasted the list and addressed us to note our serial nos on the list. However, he stressed that he cant ascertain if the verification will hold again this week(thursday and friday) but hopefully nextweek.

Betterstill, text message would b sent on the kickstart day. or it will be annouced on ekiti radio.

My opinion;

(1) npower should unravel the unnecessary delay in the verification of ekiti applicants as whole.

(2) npower should be firm that the verification is to be extended to nextweek clear the air on the uncertainty that this delay might generate


my question is

(1) why is that no local govt in ekiti state has started verification in general?

(2) sms to be sent in respect of when that of ido osi will kickstart, who will send the sms. ekiti or federal npower.

(3) what will be our fate, once it is closing on friday and they are saying it will takes till nextweek before they can start.

MY POSITION: when i considered all these unclear scenes, i have made up my mind to be coming to the venue till friday.

Who knows, things might changed.

Thank to the npower #team

7TH CONVOCATION PRESS BRIEFING BY THE VICE CHANCELLOR, ADEKUNLE AJASIN UNIVERSITY, AKUNGBA AKOKO, PROFESSOR IGBEKELE AMOS AJIBEFUN, HELD ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2017
The Deputy Vice Chancellor,
The Registrar,
The Bursar,
The University Librarian,
Other Officers of the University,
Gentlemen of the Press,
I heartily welcome you to the Press Briefing of the 7th Convocation Ceremony of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, and the 2nd under my watch since I took office on January 6, 2015.
You will recall that the first Convocation I held as Vice Chancellor of this Institution and, indeed, the University's 6th convocation, was during my first year in office in 2015. The University could not hold a convocation ceremony last year due to financial challenges.
You will also kindly recall that the nation’s serious economic challenges became glaring from 2015. This has made the governance of public institutions in Nigeria very challenging. Most universities are grappling with paying workers' salaries, while infrastructural development has been pushed to the rear seat. Although Adekunle Ajasin University has its own share of these economic hardship, it has been able to weather the storm, courtesy of the magnanimity and support of the Visitor to the University and Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN, prudent management of the University's scarce resources and creative employment of goodwill to facilitate projects from Federal Government agencies and corporate organizations.
In spite of the prevailing scarce resources, the Visitor to the University and Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN, continues to provide support for the activities and programmes of the University, including the Convocation Ceremony.
Permit me, Gentlemen of the Press, to express deep appreciation, on behalf of the University, to our amiable Visitor for his kindness.
This year's Convocation Ceremony is a nine-day event.
Day One featured Jumat Service, which was held on Friday, December 1, 2017 in the University Mosque. On Day Two, December 2, the University Community observed Keep-Fit Exercise.
Today is Day Three and is slated for the ongoing Convocation Press Conference.
On Day Four, Tuesday, December 5, there will be friendly matches in various games with sister universities.
Day Five witnesses Opening of Exhibition. Exhibition is a regular feature of the University's Convocation Ceremony and the research efforts and innovations of staff and students are showcased at this event. The Exhibition shall be closed on Thursday, December 7.
Day Six features Convocation Lecture, whose topic is "Nigerian Universities and Youth Empowerment", and it will hold on Thursday, December 7 in the University Multipurpose Hall at 2:00pm. It will be delivered by a Nigerian-born, United States-based and world-class professor, Professor Toyin Falola, a global icon in African studies. Professor Falola is the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities and University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas, USA.
On Day Seven, Friday, December 8, there shall be Conferment of First Degrees on Graduating Students of the Faculties of Education, Social and Management Sciences, the Institute of Education, Institute of Part-Time Programmes and Presentation of Prizes.
Two major events are slated for Day Eight and Second Day of Graduation, the Grand Finale, coming up on Saturday, December 9, 2017, at 9:00am.
The University Radio, Radio AAUA 90.3FM, A Station Of Lofty Ideals, will be commissioned by the Visitor to the University and Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN.
Conferment of First Degrees on Graduating Students of the Faculties of Arts, Law and Science; Conferment of Postgraduate Diplomas, Higher Degrees, Honorary Degrees and Presentation of prizes will hold at 10:00am same day at the University Multipurpose Hall.
The Convocation will be rounded off on Day Nine, Sunday, December 10, 2017 with an Interdenominational Service at the University Multipurpose Hall at 10:00am.
Due to the non-hosting of convocation last year, we are presenting two sets of graduating students this year -- 2014/2015 and 2015/2016.
A grand total of 9,812 graduands shall receive various degrees. Of this number, 7,786 belong to the 2014/2015 session while 2,026 are of the 2015/2016 session.
Of the 7,624 that earned First Degree in the 2014/2015 session, 29 graduated with First Class Honours, 1,316 bagged Second Class Upper Division, 5,183 earned Second Class Lower Division, 1,027 had Third Class Honours while 69 got Pass Degree.
In the postgraduate category, 16 bagged Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D.; 128 earned Master's degree while 18 had Postgraduate Diploma in Education, PGDE.
Of the 2,026 that graduated in the 2015/2016 session, 21 earned First Class, 609 graduated in Second Class Upper Division, 1,151 bagged Second Class Lower Division, 239 got Third Class while six had Pass Degree.
Conferment of Honorary Awards this year is benchmarked against awardees' contributions to the University and the course of education in Nigeria. It is our belief as a University that contributions to institutions and humanity should be a yardstick for giving awards and that when this is done transparently, it will spur the honourees and well-meaning individuals to impact society better.
Three distinguished Nigerians, including an eminent son of Ondo State who have contributed to the development of the University, as well as being philanthropists and friend of the University qualify for Honorary Awards this year.
Chief Kesington Adebutu, a foremost entrepreneur who has been of tremendous support to the University, shall be conferred with the Doctor of Business Finance (Honoris Causa).
Chief (Engr.) Julius Ajibulu, a friend of the University who has supported the University immensely, will be conferred with the Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa).
The Governor of Imo State and an education philanthropist of no mean stature, His Excellency Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha, will be conferred with Doctor of Letters (D. Litt.) Honoris Causa.
Academic Integrity
Stringent efforts were made during the last two academic sessions under review to sustain the integrity of the University's academic programmes. The planks that deliver academic integrity -- merit-driven admission and absorption of alumni with first class Honours degree and sending of young academics for higher degrees at home and abroad, have been sustained and re-invigorated.
The merit-driven initiatives mentioned above are minimum standards created and applied by successive administrations to deliver the vision of the founding fathers of this University. As a responsible administration, we intend to continue to uphold these planks and to add to them to continue to be the best.
All the efforts above have fetched the University the frontline status it enjoys among state universities in the country to date.
Staff Training & Capacity Development
The University views capacity development as a strategic and critical means of deepening and improving on the integrity of the administrative and the academic programmes of the University. The University therefore continues to give it a pride of place.
Between January 2015 and November 2017, a total of 223 academic and administrative staff of this University attended local and international conferences and training on sponsorship of TETFund and the University.
Currently, 96 members of academic staff are on study leave to undertake postgraduate programmes in different universities across the globe.
The University hosted over ten international and local conferences from 2015 to date, while it also held workshops to further deepen its academic programmes.
Research & Development
As a way of strengthening our research efforts, the University's academic centres have collaborated with a number of credible institutions and agencies.
The Centre for Research & Development is in the process of signing Memoranda of Understanding with some Agencies to shore up the University's research efforts. The Management of the Engineering Materials Development Institute, EMDI, has agreed in principle to partner with AAUA in instituting joint research and development projects while at the same time providing engineering services to the University.
The Centre for Bio-Computing and Drug Development (CBDD) is one of the newly created Centres for innovative research in the University. The Centre took off in 2015 after its approval by the University Senate. The Centre was established with the main purpose of addressing medical and health challenges in Nigeria through drug development using the instruments of Computation and Molecular Biology techniques.

"Are you newly married? I have two equations to keep you going- one: love is blind, and two: marriage is a miracle-worker with special anointing for opening blind eyes.
When you solve these two equation simultaneously, the answer you will get is this: Love is blind but marriage will open its eyes."

# HAPPY SUNDAY

IF YOU ARE POSTED TO PLATEAU STATE. CHAT ME , I AM AN EX CORPER THIER.
CONGRATILATION

If truly they paid some more than once, I hope it is easy to investigate, trace and trap any corps member who trying to turn the mistake to luck.

nysc , let us hear word, stop crying, go after them if it is true. # I smell lie, ####

I am now an ex CORPER.

na them sabi o

I am expecting their invitation as well.

What a great error. If the so called government owned Media Outfit could not give an accurate and correct happening in their country, I doubt if foreign counterparts would do.

JunckJournalism.

#Where is Sahara reporter.

With their eagle' eyes they will capture it.

One Man Terrorist, Is Another Man Freedom Fighter.

The Truth Is That, Nigeria Need Reconstructioning. Let Buhari Adjust Quota allocation in appointing to political offices and impartial resources allocation.

If these is not done, the agitation could only be doused down but come up stronger later.

Nigeria Is A Comedy House Full With Comedians.

deedeedee1:
Ogbeni carry your religions bullshit from here. We are saying no to intertribal marraiges and you are preaching to us about love. No wonder we have high rate of divorce these days.

My Religion Bulshit is everywhere that I go.

The Op spoke from Religion Perspective and I contributed from the angel as well.

I don't think Love can be seperated from Marriage.

I am not surprise by your comment, because people marry today based on proximity.

The same cultural background does not guarantee a successful marriage.

Next time, try to comment without bitterness.

@OP, Abraham directed his children to marry from believers family not really a tribe in that content.

He knows that Covenant God made with him could be jeopardize if they liaise with unbelievers.

Inter tribal marriage is not bad as you opined. However, marriage could thrive within and across boundary because, here we talk about LOVE and MATURITY.

Likewise, you must enlighten your parent on this, if you see LOVE or BEING IN LOVE which cross boundary, so they can reason with.
Name your wife, no your parent go wife am

LOVE DOES NOT KNOWS BOUNDARY.

CJ Assigns Suit On Buhari’s Health To Judge.

Ade Adesomoju , Abuja


A suit seeking an order of the Federal High Court in Abuja compelling the Senate President , Dr . Bukola Saraki , to appoint a medical panel to determine the health status of ailing President Muhammadu Buhari , has been assigned to Justice Abdukadir Abdu- Kafarati .


The suit , marked FHC/ ABJ /CS/ 508 / 2017 , was filed by a United States of America - based Nigerian , Mr . Toyin Dawodu, on June 28 .

The respondents to the suit are Saraki , the Executive Council of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , and the Attorney General of the Federation , Mr . Abubakar Malami (SAN).
READ: Fayose threatens to release 11 damaging pictures on Buhari ’s health
Responding to The PUNCH ’s inquiry on the status of the case on Tuesday, the plaintiff ’s lawyer, Mr . Frank Tietie, confirmed that the outgoing Chief Judge of the Federal High Court , Justice Ibrahim Auta , had assigned the case to Justice Abdu -Kafarati .
He told our correspondent in a telephone interview that the case would likely be heard after the annual judges ’ vacation which commenced earlier this month.
Judges of various courts , including the Federal High Court , are to resume from this year ’s vacation in September.
Speaking with our correspondent , Tietie, said, “I have just been informed that the case has been assigned to Court 2 of the Federal High Court in Abuja , that is Justice Abdu- Kafarati ’s case .

“Although, we have not been given any hearing date , the suit will likely be fixed for hearing after the judges ’ vacation. ”
Justice Abdu- Kafarati , who is to handle the case , is likely to be the next Chief Judge of the Federal High Court as Justice Auta retires on attaining the mandatory retirement age of 65 on September 19 , 2017 .

Judges of the court had earlier on July 10 , 2017 , proceeded on their annual vacation with only few of them assigned as vacation judges to hear very urgent cases during the recess .
Buhari had left the country for the United Kingdom since May 7 , 2017 for a medical vacation.
There has been no official confirmation on the nature and extent of the President’ s ailment.


But the plaintiff , Dawodu, in his suit , urged the court to declare that Saraki was empowered by the constitution to set up the medical panel to determine Buhari ’s health status “ without first being a resolution of the Executive Council of the Federation . ”
Section 144 of the Nigerian Constitution provides that such medical panel should be appointed by the Senate President following a resolution passed by two- thirds majority of the members of Executive Council of the Federation .

But the plaintiff , through his counsel , Tietie, contended in the suit that “ in the absence of a resolution by the Executive Council of the Federation ” as required under section 144 (1 ) of the Constitution, the Senate President could constitute such medical panel “to determine the health status of the President. ”

pls Batch B shud pass out by sept b4 the october deadline oooo


I DON TIRE FOR SERVICE

I pray so, because .me wan leave, we don .try, serving our father land; Let another hot blood come in.

Over the time I have discovered the concurrent and persistence use of the English Phrase ``YOU ARE WELCOME'' to reply a gesture and reciprocate a great act.

However, I could not traced to any equivalent phrase in our dialects.

For instance, ``You Are Welcome'' In Yoruba Language means `` E ka a bo'' which could be equated with ``Thank You'' as projected by the English language.

*Language is culture and culture is Language*

My question is that why can't we be saying Thank You instead of ``You Are Welcome''.

Must we copy all the lifestyles of European countries

You contribution is most welcomed.
