The maritime academy of Nigeria oron is the only federal marine school is Nigeria.

The school which boasts of 4300+ trained Nigerian merchant Navy officers and over 65,000 other workers in the maritime industry since 1983 to 2015 and at this point is still below par in its academic excellence.

I enrolled for a short course which ran all through 2015, it was a 10months course of 2 semesters which I completed November last year.


Fast forward to may 2016, No result, No certificate to forge ahead in my career.

Like everyother professional career which requires both theoretical and practical experience to excel, the marine industry both deck and engine requires more practical experience.
But for my 2 semesters in the school, the lecturers could only teach u on the white marker board since the school lack basic equipments to take u practicals.
Well since I already work onboard ships, I have knowledge of the practicals so I wasn't really bothered but how about those who haven't?

Having completed the course, paid in full and having no issue whatsoever, not even the first semester result have been released, we where only 30 candidates for the session so I see no reason why they should withhold it.
We contacted the H. O. D who confirmed that the results are ready but the school have to setup a board meeting to deliberate on it before it could be released, (this was since mid February). Now the pain here is, the new session for 2016 will be starting first semester exams Monday may 23rd, without the results of the previous session released.
Having made the calculations, if they should go ahead to write the exams, and they eventually release the result, anyone having any issue like carry over will have to wait till 2017 to rewrite it and then wait again to same time 2018 to get your certificate. This is like running a programme of 1 year for 4 years due to negligence on the part of the scrappy institution.

A colleague who ran the same short course in a private institution same time last year and paid far less to what I paid to a federal institution as tuition already got his certificate and he will be rounding up his officers course by June this year while am still here with year half spent still waiting for a result which is probably sitting on the desk of someone covered in dust.

I don't know if to call this corruption or laziness. This is people's life they are playing with.

<b>All i wanna say is that they don't really care about us! </b>

Corrupt officials and politicians don't value youths as you can see during elections and failed promises. You know the black man mentality : me, my family and money. Always consuming but never building. I don't know what you can do now, but have legal actions been taken? , have protest been made? , are you sure they did not misplace your scripts? , I think they are waiting for you to give them money and that is shameful, I smell politics in the air.

Till Jesus comes ,tribalism will forever make Nigeria a developing country forever, let's just play our own part and leave for others to continue

Protest can't be made since the school is heavily guarded by the Navy, it will only cause us more trouble.
The scripts where not misplaced since this have been the norm even with the session before us but they where lucky to have it released 2 weeks before our exams. And I doubt if it'd money they want.
The course is expensive to run, it's 180k for d official fee outside the running cost..

It is well

ok

And to think of it my friend just enrolled there!

When we start to regret decisions made by us, especially those decisions wey suppose dey positive for our lives only for some wicked people to make am be like our own mistakes, we no go ever succeed.


So my brother, no regret going to sch, things go work for u with time

but Nimasa sending students abroad shows they dont rate oron in high regard.

just try and pressure the school authorities..its a millitary kind of setting so thread carefully. cheers!

I will advice you to wait and relax. Since they are fond of this chill. But is your session's result release take more time than usual? I wonder why it is taking them this long even if they marked it by hand instead of machines. Relax and don't over worry thyself

my broda,d sooner u undastnd dt some pipo n dez contri ix a joke d sooner ur result is releasd

meanwhile ur fate lies on una pressuring d HOD

Op may i ask what course u did?

Everything JagaJaga 4 9ja... Abeg Eedris u need to remix jagajaga track..

Nonsense school!
if i hadn't schooled in the school, i wouldn't have known how substandard the school is.
The Academy is just overrated.
lack of basic facilities and poor hostel conditions(jam packed cabins) coupled with substandard lecturers and lack of basic teaching aids and technology(no training vessel).
A maritime school where you are not even taught how to swim(except you register and pay for STCW courses).
You are subjected to harsh military training and left with little or no time for your books.
i wouldnt wish my enemy to study there. In conclusion, at OP, i don't think you made a mistake studying there, you were obviously just misinformed about the credibility of the institution

I just spoke with the VC of the school .. he said you should not worry.. the results will be released by June..

overhyped maritine Academy.... mtchewwww

groovie:

what has tribalism got to do with his result.
most institutions in Nigeria are facing this same challenge. don't worry my dear, the result will be released two days to the exam .

The academy is nothing but trash.

My friend was a student of the academy and he speak highly bad of the institution.

Ride up to the school aboard your ship and show them what you're made of..

Ok oP I think maybe you need to contact the bodies in charge of unis...NUC I think, I dunno but this is a very big issue
Going to nkwobi joint without being served with toothpick is an issue to me but your one, is something else.

I so loved that school then, but I jst graduated from Unijos

You need to be patient... I was once a student there, remember you cant protest, complain or bring in a third party to protest or complain on your behalf except the norms have changed... Be guided properly before you take any step.

OP you should write petitions to Fed Ministry of Education (cc the Hon Minister as well as NIMASA). Nothing makes incompetent civil servant wake up to their duties like taking an issue to their supervisors.

Look at these so called human beings. If you were the one who had a serious problem and was looking for advice, would you appreciate such comments? Why don't you just not comment at all rather than display your boundless stupidity?
