EducationNothing Stops Lecturers From Resuming Tomorrow —Minister by Rhectz(op): 8:30am On Nov 04, 2020
The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, says there is ‘absolutely nothing’ stopping lecturers from returning to the classrooms ‘tomorrow’.

According to him, the Federal Government has done all that it ought to do for the striking lecturers to return to the classrooms.

The minister, who spoke on Tuesday evening while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, said there was no truth that the government has not paid members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in eight months.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that on March 23,2020, ASUU declared a “total and indefinite strike” over the failure of the Federal Government to keep to the 2019 Memorandum of Action and over the lingering crisis on the controversial Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System.

The union had brought forward five contentious issues in the 2019 MoA which are; revitalisation fund for universities, outstanding earned academic allowances, renegotiation of the 2009 agreement, proliferation of universities, particularly by state governments and establishment of visitation panels to universities.

The IPPIS crisis had joined in around October 2019, after the union accused some vice-chancellors of forcing its members to enrol on the IPPIS platform.

ASUU has also insisted on having an alternative model to IPPIS, called the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, which it urged the Federal Government to adopt for the universities.

But speaking on Tuesday night, Nwajiuba, “I have not said there is no way the government will not ever have a different application. But I am saying this is what we have now. The government will continually improve its service. If UTAS, as we go ahead, becomes even a better platform for everybody and they offer it free to government, of course, we are a responsive government, we will simply migrate to it.”

PoliticsBREAKING: Investigative Panel Declares Adesina Innocent Of All Charges by Rhectz(op): 9:50am On Jul 28, 2020
An independent panel of experts, headed by former Irish president Mary Robinson, has cleared the beleaguered leader of the African Bank of Development (AfDB) of corruption, according to a report obtained by AFP.

Akinwumi Adesina, 60, a charismatic speaker known for his elegant suits and bow ties, became the first Nigerian to helm the AfDB in 2015 — but a 15-page report earlier this year claimed that under his watch the bank had been tarred by poor governance, impunity, personal enrichment and favouritism.

The panel of three experts, led by Robinson alongside Gambia’s Chief Justice Hassan Jallow and the World Bank’s integrity vice president Leonard McCarthy, cleared Adesina of all charges alleged by whistleblowers.

“The Panel concurs with the Committee in its findings in respect of all the allegations against the President and finds that they were properly considered and dismissed by the Committee,” Monday’s report concluded.

The African banking institution and Adesina — who is the sole candidate for the bank’s August’s presidential elections — has been battered by the rollercoaster of allegations after the whistleblowers’ complaints were leaked to the media in April.

The former Nigerian finance minister had always stated he was “innocent” of the charges.

60-Year-Old UTME Candidate Who Wants To Study Pharmacy Raises Concern Over Score

ABUJA — A 60-year-old man who wrote the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME to read Pharmacy, has raised concern over his inability to achieve his dream due to low score.

The man, Mr Gabriel Olarenwaju Akinyemi, who wrote the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB’s UTME, scored an aggregate of 161.

The Indigene of Ekiti, who sat for the examination at Mater Christi centre in Igede-Ekiti, Ekiti State, had chosen the University of Lagos to pursue his preferred course of study.

He reportedly resigned his appointment as Court Registrar at the Ekiti State Judiciary in 2017 to pursue his educational goals after taking the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination at the Christ Boys’ Secondary School, Ado-Ekiti

JAMB, which revealed this in its weekly news bulletin it released Sunday night, said Akinyemi was not happy with what he scored.

He was said to have first aroused public interest when he presented himself for registration at the UTME/DE 2020 Registration exercise in January at the Ekiti State Office, Ado-Ekiti.

According to the board, the sexagenarian had at the venue of the registration told the bewildered staff of the board and co-UTME candidates, his dreams of obtaining a first-degree certificate in spite of his age.

Akinyemi who lived at Obafemi Awolowo Academy, Fajuyi, Ado-Ekiti, was said to have made another historic appearance shortly after at the State Office to make enquiries in furtherance of his ambition.

While speaking with the Ekiti State Coordinator, Mr Abdulhakeem Abdulhameed, Akinyemi said his lifelong ambition had been to obtain a degree certificate hence his determination to the UTME this time around,” the bulletin read.

He said: “In my youthful days, I had a passion to study but my parents were very poor and they could not sponsor my education. So, I stopped after primary school education.

“However, as a result of my determination to acquire knowledge, I decided to further my education first by obtaining my ‘O’ level result, which I passed with flying colours and now my next objective the first degree without which my hunger would not be satiated.”

EducationRe: Categories Of Students Who Miss School by Rhectz(op): 5:00pm On Jun 30, 2020
So you think angry cheesy
EducationCategories Of Students Who Miss School by Rhectz(op):
With the recent lifting of inter state ban by the Federal government, many students are nursing high hope that in no distant time, academic activities which was halted in all tertiary institution in the country will resume.

Below are categories of students who missed school.

The Scholars:
This category of students just want school to resume because they want to get involved in academic activities. They are the serious ones. They love books.

The Final Year students:
Students in this category are on the verge of graduating. Their hope of graduating this year has been dashed. Some of them are only waiting to graduate so they can get married on time and start their life. Oh,they didn't see this coming at all. Class of 2020 has become Class of Further Notice.

The Lovebirds:
This category are the students that want school to resume just because they have missed their boyfriends and girlfriends. Imagine not seeing the love of your life for more than 4 months.�

The errand boys/girls:
This particular ones don't miss school for any tangible reasons, they just want to leave their homes because of the burden of chores they face everyday. The holiday has turned them to house maids, plate washers, etc. They just want to break free from being a servant at home. It is not easy.


The Freedom lovers:
About 95% of students belong to this category. Being under the watch of their parents has turned many to gentle child at home. This category of students just miss the freedom that comes with campus life,the fun, the partying, social lifestyle, etc.
I am also under this category.


The Off-campus occupants:
As time runs, so does money run down on rented apartments. This category are the students that have just paid their rent, only for school to vacate after spending a little time in it.
They do not want their rent to waste without really enjoying it. After all, the landlords will ask for another rent if the current one expires.


The Business men/women:
Money is sweet. This category are the students that engage in business activities on campus that fetches them money. These are the students that make money on campus, either by selling things, or engaging in services that they get paid for. Barbers, computer operators, handout sellers,photographers, class reps, etc are all under this category.


The Political Aspirants:
These are students that are aspiring for one position or the other in the Students' Union (SUG). Most of them have spent fortune on resources, airtime,data to post BCs that will aid their political campaign. They want school to resume as soon as possible so the whole process will not be postponed till next year again. If you know any of them, send them money.


The "Good" Boys/Girls:
These are the students that have gone broke since they no longer receive pocket-money from parents. The students who also inflate prices of things are also under this category, they make money from their parents by inflating the prices of things on campus. Don't act innocent, almost everyone is under this category.

Which Category are you inhuh

EducationJAMB Set Bench Mark For 2020 Admissions by Rhectz(op): 8:56am On Jun 17, 2020
THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has set the benchmark for admission into tertiary institutions for the 2020/21 school session.

The cut off points ranged from 100 and above for Colleges of Education, 120 and above for Polytechnics and 160 and above for universities.

The Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this during JAMB’s policy virtual meeting in Abuja, yesterday.

This came as the Federal Government also, yesterday, listed conditions for schools to reopen in the country.

Oloyede also disclosed that a total of 612,557 candidates were offered admission in the 2019/20 session, with about 510,957 not able to secure admission during the same period.

“Of the 1,157,977 candidates who sat for the UTME in 2019, about 612,557 were admitted,” he said in his opening address on the occasion.

Oloyede noted that candidates waiting for their results would only be considered when they upload their results on the Board’s website.

In his remarks, Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, directed JAMB and tertiary institutions to proceed with the conduct of 2020/2021 admissions.

Adamu was represented by the Minister of State for Education, Mr Emeka Nwajiuba.

Admission processes are expected to commence in August based on the guidelines released by JAMB.

The minister urged JAMB and tertiary institutions to consider candidates with previous years’ Senior School Certificate Examination and other qualifying results while screening candidates for admission.

He said government would make arrangement to accommodate applicants who would be taking the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations to be conducted by the West African Examinations Council, WAEC; National Examinations Council, NECO, among others, when the opportunity to do so was worked out.

EducationHelp! I Have Been Admitted But Cannot Proceed With My Clearance by Rhectz(op): 9:17am On Jan 20, 2020
Please help me move this to FP. I sincerely need all the advice I can get right now.

I used same profile to register my 2019 UTME and Direct Entry but was fortunate to be admitted via DE, though with a different course other than the course I initially applied for.

The problem now is that I am unable to print my JAMB admission letter for the DE because I was made to understand that I need to effect a change of course first but it turns out that whenever I attempt to change course ,it keeps reflecting my UTME details, thus making it impossible.

I thereafter created a ticket at JAMB support site and was adviced to convert my UTME to DE as JAMB do not allow registration of both UTME and DE.

I yielded to the advice and went to JAMB zonal office in Benin but was told the platform is no longer available because of the 2020 UTME/DE Registration. I gave a feedback on the ticket I created and I got a reply that I should go back, that the platform is still working.

I did as I was told but the staff in the Benin zonal office insisted that it wasn't available. I am so confused and frustrated. I left secondary school in 2015 and ever since I have been struggling to get admission. Now that I am fortunate in securing one, I am met with this huddle that seems impossible to cross.

Please house, kindly help a friend cause I am desperate at this time.

PoliticsRevoke Operational Licence Of BEDC: Obaseki Tells Buhari by Rhectz(op): 9:02pm On Dec 24, 2018
Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has again decried the gross inefficiency of Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) in providing stable electricity for residents of the state, who will celebrate Christmas and the New Year festivities in darkness.
Obaseki said Edo people deserve a better service provider than BEDC, more so, considering the fact that Edo State is host to Azura Power plant which generates over 700MW of electricity to the national grid.

“At a time families should be enjoying uninterrupted electricity supply as they celebrate Christmas and New Year in the state, BEDC is again unable to live up to the minimum expectation of providing electricity.

“No excuse is good enough for the abysmal failure of BEDC and we appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to without delay, revoke the operational licence of BEDC and rescue Edo people and residents from the crappy service being delivered to our people who are harassed weekly by BEDC to pay for electricity that it did not supply,” Obaseki said.

He lamented that “Forcing electricity consumers to pay for services they did not enjoy with estimated bills is tantamount to corruption, which the Buhari-led government is committed to nipping in the bud.”
Obaseki wondered why Nigerians in Borno and Kaduna states are celebrating uninterrupted power supply yet, Edo people are in unending darkness.
The governor, further said that much as he is not a believer in conspiracy theories, he is however constrained to believe that BEDC is on a mission to sabotage the developmental efforts of his administration.

“There can be no better time to enjoy electricity than during the Christmas holiday and only an enemy of progress will make Edo people spend the holidays in darkness,” the governor emphasised.
He expressed his regrets over the unnecessary sufferings associated with celebrating the holiday period in BEDC-induced darkness and assured that his administration will continue to work for better deals across all sectors of the state.
