It is rather unfortunate for Prof Anwuka to accept an appointment placing him under a common mallam in a ministry that is directly related to his profession, when he (Prof Anwuka) is fully aware that such an arrangement is morally, professionally and common sensically nonsensical!
Accepting such appointment in the first place amounts to a slap to education as a profession and puts a question mark on both his professorship and his intent for the ministry.
PMB is really a disaster! placing a professor of education under a common mallam, shows how much value he places on education
Its just like placing a SAN or a professor of law under a medical doctor in the ministry of justice.
PMB! This is an aberration!.
What insolence!
Arrant nonsense!
No wonder they canceled NUC recruitment! The mallam is toiling with our ministry.
I have both BSc and Masters in Education and currently on PhD.
I know the current challenges facing education in Nigeria, PMB should stop further damage to the sector.
All educationist in this country must speak out NOW!

Politics › Ministry of Education on Fire by pedrilo(op): 3:32pm On Aug 10, 2016
Abuja all is not well between the Ministers of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu and Professor Anthony Anwukah. The two ministers, New Telegraph gathered, had not been in good terms since August 4, when the Federal Government announced the removal of 17 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of parastatals, agencies and commissions under the Ministry of Education.

Findings by our correspondent revealed that Adamu, a confidant of President Muhammadu Buhari, had made recommendations to the president on the appointment of new CEOs to replace those sacked without the input of his colleague, who is a former vice chancellor and a nominee of Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State in the cabinet.

The minister had , at the inauguration of the new heads of education agencies under the ministry, exonerated himself of having hands in the appointments, claiming that they were made by the president. But a source within the Ministry of Education alleged that Adamu might have been running a oneman show at the ministry.

“The minister of state supervises JAMB, UBEC, NECO and other agencies. How is it possible that he would not be involved in the appointment of those he supervises and reports to the president?” the source queried. The cold war brewing between them played out yesterday when Adamu denied knowledge of the recent increment in the school fees of Federal Government Colleges also known as Unity Schools recently announced by the office of the Minister of State for Education, Anwukah.

The minister, who gave the shocking revelation, in a chat with newsmen at the sidelines of the National Education Quality Assurance Handbook’s launch, said the news of the increment from N20,000 to N75,000 was strange to him.

“I am not aware that the Unity School fees have been increased. As the Minister of Education, I am not aware, but I will try and find out,” he said.

While answering a question on the feud between him and the minister of state over the recent appointment of new head of 17 agencies, Adamu claimed ignorance of the development, but admitted to mistakenly failed to acknowledge the presence of his (Anwukah’s) representative during the launch of the handbooks. “I am not also aware that he has been sidelined, but you can go and find out from the source that told you, ” he added.

The frosty relationship between them manifested when Anwukah was observed to be absent at events that attracted the presence of Adamu since those appointments were made.

A source in the ministry blamed the sudden change of attitude of the Minister of State on the way the latter sidelined him on the recommendation to Buhari on those to be appointed to head agencies in the ministry.

While pleading for anonymity, the source wondered if the ministry was no longer properly coordinated for the minister to claim ignorance of a directive concerning the school fees increase that came from the office of his colleague. “Is it possible that he will not be aware of such increase?

Or is it that the ministry is not coordi snated again, especially when the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Folasade Yemi- Esan, confirmed the increment ?” asked the source. To press home his grievances, Anwukah allegedly shunned the inauguration of the newly appointed chief executives.

This was also followed by his conspicuous absence during the flag-off of the 2016 Teachers’ Professional Development Workshop in Abuja on August 1. The event was organised by the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC ), which is under the purview of the Minister of State.

Anwukah did not also have a representative standing for him. Speaking on the absence of the Minister of State at the event, which held at Jabi Junior Secondary School, the highly placed source said that the office of the minister was not even aware of the event, noting that Anwukah was in town on that day.

The source, however, disclosed that the two ministers have only shown that they have cordial relationship on the surface as they relate well in the office everyday, but engage in cold war.

“What baffles many of us is that on the surface, it appears all is well between the two of them because the main minister often time strolls down to the Minister of State’s office. “In fact, if he is fasting, he will invite the minister of state to his office to break fast with him.

But it appears that the heads of departments and directors at the ministry have also seen the body language of the two of them, ” the source told New Telegraph. Speaking on the Unity Schools’ fees, the Permanent Secretary, Yemi- Esan, admitted that the Federal Government has increased the fees.

The Permanent Secretary said the increment, which was focused on boarding fees, was to meet up with the cost of running the schools. She said: “The school fees of the Federal Government Colleges has been increased, but not up to the 300 per cent as being claimed.

You must be aware of the reality in the country. “ It is important for the Federal Government Colleges to maintain the students that are there and you must also be aware that these schools are tuition free

What has been increased is the boarding fee, but is not up to N75,000,” she added, just as she denied knowledge of any feud between the two education ministers.

Education › Re: Most Overhyped Courses In Nigeria,the FACT!!!! by pedrilo: 2:17pm On Aug 09, 2016
the way u started this thread is extremely nauseating.
Asssmasher:
Well,the list below can't be 100% accurate or impeccable,so I stand to be corrected.If you notice a loophole,just pinpoint it out and admonish instead of beating around the Bush and throwing tantrums, if you do the latter,It's obvious you have no iota of sense.
Now, back to the matter!!
I've stated substantial rationales to back up my assertions.

(1)LAW:-An enlightened mind shouldn't be oblivious to the level of esteem placed on this course.Most people who pick this course in jamb only do so because of the prestige and follow the bandwagon without having no modicum of sensitisation nor awareness what it holds for them ultimately in Future.Actually,law was a hot a couple of decades ago at least, Most of 'em after the whole six years rigor(law school inclusive) settle down for all these mushroom firms with a very meagre pay(Gani's,festus' firm and d likes).Even d coporate firms hardly pays what an ordinary med lab intern earns.To get recruited into these coporate firm is tantamount to a camel trying to fit in into a needle's eye,despite the level of connection.A thread was created a year ago by a lady who was having a second thought about her making a mistake studying law.She was only being outspoken and venting her frustration,that which most fresh law graduates pass through nowadays.Most of our law colleagues back then who felt they're on top of the world because they were studying law are either doing charge n bail,roaming about aimlessly around CAC offices,working in these firms for little or no pay or seeking affidavits here and there.It's actually a nice course,but without connection,you're as good as useless regardless of how excellent your grades are.

(2)Medicine:-Yh,Yh grin most people will be stunned seeing this "Ethically noble* course on the list.But the fact stands,it's overhyped.Why do you think most docs are doing USLME exams just to leave this countryhuh
More reason NMA is always going on strike every now and then, fighting for allowances and taking to the street with placards after all the 9+years rigor.Even the residency primaries exams are conducted just to fail 'em.That's why we hardly have consultants nowadays,that which is the acme of d career,even a junior executive trainee in KPMG earns well above a consultant.More than 80% of docs aren't specialist,a lot are just trivial medical officers who earn just like any other civil servant with little or insignificant difference.Only national,neuropsychiatric and FMCs pay quite well for docs,same can't be said for the ones in maternity centres, private hospitals and state hospitals(who are even affected by d inability of d state to pay their workers).It's a course where you stress more than you deserve.To d jambites out there,think twice before going for it,even as a consultant,which has a very slim chance of becoming, all these small boys and girls who are marketers,ET or EA in reputable private firms will earn well above you as an entry level graduate.Except for the prestige, it's not much of a big deal at all.I have a couple of them as friends who have abandoned the medical profession to do MBA hoping to switch to the finance sector.

(3)Engineering :- I've collectively consolidated all the engineering courses under this canopy.Most of 'em only wish to work in oil companies and nowhere more,but the question is,How many of these companies recruit?Even the multinational ones like haliburton and Schlumberger with syndicates here in Nigeria hardly put out any vacancies,they may not denounce any vacancy in a couple of years.Is it computer science which you don't even need to study to know more about it than the graduates themselves?Or mech engineer where our automobile industry is as good as useless?Or chemical engineer where how manufacturing industry would rather sought the services of foreign technicians to these LA cram LA pour stereotyped minds?And many more?Engineering and geology graduates constitute d greatest percentage of the graduates faced with unemployment

(4)Accounting:-Mtcheew,you don't even need to study this course to work as an accountant in any reputable firm.in this present age where a fine art undergraduate can apply for professional exams like:CPA,ICAN or ACCA.Even all these private firms would prefer someone with a MBA cert to a person with first degree IN accounting to his CV.Even with your first degree In accounting,You stand no chance of landing Nice jobs without having any professional cert,so what's the big deal?

(5)Banking and finance:-You don't need to study this course to work in a bank,even as a full staff. Anyone can work in a bank. Anybody with a professional cert stands a better chance of getting recruited as a full staff than someone with a banking and finance degree who might better still get a contract job or worst,no Job at all.

I was a lil' bit hasty typing this.Forgive any grammatical blunder or contextual error.
