Legal Education Council declared University of Ilorin, UNILORIN law faculty the best in Nigeria. University of Lagos (2nd), the University of Ibadan (3rd), the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (4th) and the University of Uyo/Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (5th).

The Council of Legal Education has adjudged the Faculty of Law, University of Ilorin, the best in the country, based on the cumulative performance of its products in the 2014 Bar Final Examinations of the Nigerian Law School.

The Council’s verdict was contained in the Report of the Ad-Hoc Committee it set up to assess the performance of students at the August 2014 Bar Final Examinations.

The Ad-Hoc Committee was headed by the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye.

Other members were Prof. J. A. M. Audi, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. E. S. Olarinde, Provost, College of Law, Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti; Dr. Y. M. Yusuf, the Dean of Law, University of Maiduguri; Mr. Emeka Obegolu, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. M. O. U. Gasiokwu, the Dean of Law, Delta State University, Abraka; Mr. S. A. Osamolu, the Director/Head of Academic, Nigerian Law School; and Mrs. M. M. Stanley-Idum, the Deputy Director (Academic), Nigerian Law School.

According to the Committee’s Report, a copy of which was made available to Unilorin Bulletin, students from the University of Ilorin Law Faculty beat products of other universities’ Law Faculties in the Bar Examinations. Other universities in the top five category are the University of Lagos (2nd), the University of Ibadan (3rd), the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (4th) and the University of Uyo/Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (5th).

In the 2012 and 2013 Bar Final Examinations, the University of Ilorin consistently came second. And apart from the University of Lagos that has closely run neck-to-neck with Unilorin in the last three years, coming fifth in 2012, and third in 2013, no other University appeared consistently on the Top 5 Table in the three years under review.

For instance, Babcock University that led the pack in 2012 has not returned to the Top 5 Table since then.

Likewise, the University of Ado-Ekiti that came first in 2013 is not even listed among the top 5 in 2014.

The Report noted that while some universities have consistently been in the bottom 5, the University of Ilorin and the University of Lagos have consistently been in the top 5 in the last three years with Ilorin coming clearly ahead even in consistency rating.

This Ad-Hoc Committee was set up in response to growing worries over poor performance of Law students from various Faculties of Law from different Nigerian Universities. It was charged with the duty to review the result of the last Bar Final Examination vis-a-vis the performance of different Law Faculties; examine the teaching methods and facilities available for use at the Nigerian Law School and identify reasons why some campuses perform better than others; as well as examine the performance of students over the past five years so as to make comparative analyses, among others.

In its findings, the Committee noted that the “inability of various Faculties of Law to have uninterrupted academic activities in a Semester as prescribed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) for LL.B students contributed to declining standards”. It added that “in a bid to meet the Nigerian Law School calendar, some Faculties of Law abridged their programme to compensate for incessant strike actions and other disruptions”.

Meanwhile, the Ag. Dean, Faculty of Law, University of Ilorin, Dr. I. A. Yusuf, has described the achievement of his Faculty as a “collective sense of fulfillment”, adding that this achievement is a vindication of the dedication of the staff and students of the Faculty and their common and collective determination to uphold the vision of the University of Ilorin to become a Centre of Excellence.”

Dr. Yusuf said, “This success would not have been possible without the continuous support and attention our Faculty always receives from the University management”.

The latest protesters included the students of the University of Lagos and members of the Youth Action for Success.
[img]http://1.bp..com/-LTnlEj5h0qc/VTpy21ddikI/AAAAAAAAAdk/bHhguzZk66A/s1600/xenophobia.jpg[/img]
The UNILAG students on Monday staged a protest at the South Africa’s High Commission, Lagos, while the YAS members took to the streets of Enugu on Tuesday.
The UNILAG students delivered a protest letter to the South African High Commissioner, Amb. Lulu Mguni, giving the South African authorities a 24-hour ultimatum to either stop the attacks or face a boycott of businesses and products from the country.

The students came in three buses, one of which had ‘Aluta missile’ on the number plate.
One of the students that participated in the protest told our correspondent that the demonstration had been planned to move on to major South African companies on the Lagos Island but that the police stopped the protesters.
He said, “We issued a 24-hour ultimatum for the appropriate authorities of South Africa to stop the attacks or they risk a boycott of their businesses and products in the country. We will be the ones to champion the boycott.

“We were to go to a major South African company on Tiamiyu Savage Street but armed policemen resisted us and we cancelled our trip.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the protest.
He said, “The students, under police protection, demonstrated at the South African High Commission. They made attempts to go to the DSTV and MTN offices but were appropriately advised in the interest of security.
“They peacefully departed after a hitch-free protest.”

In Enugu, the youths, who protested on the streets of the coal city, demanded an end to the attacks within 48 hours, failing which South African investments in Enugu State and other parts of Nigeria would be destroyed.
The youths, under the aegis of YAS, carried placards with various inscriptions. Some of the placards read, “No to mindless killing of Nigerians”, “Stop this xenophobia now” and “Don’t tempt our patience”, among others.
Speaking to journalists during the rally, the leader of the group, Jesechai Okezie, said the South Africans had not been grateful for the hospitality of other Africans.

He said, “We are not happy that Nigerians are being brutalised and killed in South Africa.
“We allowed South Africans to come here and operate; they have Shoprite, Multichoice, MTN and a host of other investments here.
“So why are they killing us? Why are they brutalising us? Why are they denying us of our economic rights?
“We love other nationals here in Nigeria, we treat them with the highest level of hospitality, but this is what we have got in return.”
Demanding an immediate end to the attacks, Okeke said, “These killings must stop forthwith.

“We are giving the South African government 48 hours to ensure that these killings and looting come to an end.
“The President of South Africa must assure the world that the lives and properties of Nigerians are safe; if they don’t do that, we are going to react and our reaction will be disastrous.

“We are asking Nigerian youths to remain calm.” (Punch Newspaper)

Failure is one thing nobody wants to associate with. The performance of students in public examinations has, over the years, been characterized by mass failure which many people have described as disgraceful. This is partly failure of the school system. Experts say the phenomenon contributes to the downward trend of the country’s development. In this piece, Kuni Tyessi takes a look at the reasons responsible for failure of students.

The poor performance of students in public examinations such as WAEC, NECO, JAMB, NABTEB and common entrances is becoming a recurring decima in the country. Over the years, the mass failure has become a matter of concern and worry to stakeholders in the education sector, including the candidates themselves.

The Federal Ministry of Education has had cause to summon heads of primary and secondary schools across the country to meetings to hear their explanations on the dismal performance of their students in public examinations. It is obvious that the situation has not changed despite a number of interventions. This embarrassment to the country has continued.

Often times, parents have taken the government and school authorities to task on the poor output of their children and wards. The frustration and pain are more when the enormous resources involved in the education of these young ones are taken into consideration. The decay in the country’s education and school system started several years ago and unfortunately this has been allowed to continue. This is unacceptable.

It is this singular factor that has led to the near collapse of the public school system and promoted the proliferation of private schools across the country. Many parents have opted for the private schools for their children in their determination to end the frustration and provide a better and more secure future for the children. But are the private schools themselves faring any better? It is debatable and an issue for another day.

It is often said that if a method of achieving a goal is unsuccessful, then another method should be pursued and adopted if proven. In the education system, this has been tried and it is not yet uhuru as mass failure has continued to characterize students’ performance in public examinations.

A physics teacher in a private school in Abuja, Mana Jakada attributes the mass failure to the poor reading culture among students and the emergence of the Internet, computer games and social media that lure the young minds away from their books.

“How can they pass when they hardly read books and all they do is to chat with their phones even in class? They are busy making friends all over the world and this can be very distracting. When you give assignments, many of them will copy from the net and can hardly explain what they have written. When exam comes, you can be sure they will not do well,” Jakada said.

This raises the question- is the emergence of the Internet and social media a blessing or a curse to the young ones? A primary school teacher in Abuja, Monica Istifanus said “every man-made thing has good and bad sides and today we are experiencing the bad side of modernization which in turn is affecting the lives of students.

“Internet is here to stay and nothing can be done about it as it is the desire of people to have everything simplified. The parents have a lot to do in this area as they are usually the ones that purchase high powered gadgets for their children. If they can make the children understand that life is in stages and they do not need those gadgets, but face their studies which is primarily the first they should think of, and they stick to the terms, so much improvement will be noticed.

“Besides, the inability of parents to know the capacity of their children when it comes to strength in various subjects is also responsible. Many of them want their children to read professional courses especially under the science category without considering the ability and past results of the children which suggest their inability to cope in those classes. You cannot insist that your child must be a medical doctor when he performs poorly or averagely in science core subjects or when his interest lies more in creativity or in commerce or art-related subjects. There’s no need toying with the destinies of children simply because parents are selfish and want to prove a point at the expense of the child,” she pointed out.

A concerned parent, Beatrice Offor insists that the bulk of the blame must go to schools. Besides not sticking to given curricula, she alleged that change of teachers had become so rampant in many schools that children were left confused as to what to believe because many of these teachers would come with different teaching methods.

“Operating a school has become more of a business and imparting knowledge is now a second fiddle. Teachers will always look for greener pastures at the detriment of the students. You don’t expect students to perform well when teachers of a particular subject are changed three or four times before the end of a session. Besides, how many schools complete their syllabus? Students cannot write correctly what they have not been taught.

“Besides, the sale and acquisition of certificates does not take place only in tertiary institutions. The scourge can be identified even in primary and secondary schools as having a pass mark or good grades has become a do or die affair. There are cases of parents who buy certificates for their children which is doctored by a school. If children know that they have parents that can practice such, why should they bother to pass exam?” she contended.

LEADERSHIP sought the views of a psychologist and staff of Neuro-psychiatric Hospital, Kaduna and the man who craved anonymity said emotional, psychological, and to some extent spiritual reasons could be responsible for failure.

“Students who are not psychologically and emotionally fit cannot do well in exams and expecting the contrary will be unfair to them. So many factors can be responsible for this imbalance and some of them include being victims of broken homes, constant change of schools, hormonal change in their bodies, misplacement of priorities as many of them go into relationships without considering the impact on their studies, and the list is inexhaustible. If the problems are not discovered and dealt with, ‘A’ students can be reduced to average students and average students can be reduced to poor students.

“Sometimes, even the economy can take a toll on a student and destabilize his/her performance.‎ You can imagine a situation whereby a child has to walk for several kilometres before getting to school and will have to do so after school. He/she might not even be exposed to the right kinds of food which will boost brain power and help in academic output. So, even the economy and unpopular government policies can be responsible,” he stated.

‎So many reasons have been adduced for mass failure of students in public examinations. They range from poor quality of teachers, inefficient school management, inability of parents to be alive to their responsibilities towards their children and wards to unseriousness on the part of students, among other. Whatever are the real reasons, the point remains that it is as disgraceful and embarrassing to the country as it is frustrating and economically wasteful to parents and highly unsettling to the students. It is a trend that must be halted and every hand needs be on deck to realize this. Now is the time. (Leadership)

Federal Government would soon deploy teachers to teach Yoruba Language in Brazil.

Aminu Nabegu, Director monitoring evaluation and research in the Directorate of Technical Aid Corps, on Friday said that Federal Government would soon deploy teachers to teach Yoruba Language in Brazil.

Aminu said that the countries were already discussing the modalities for the implementation of the programme.

He said once the agreement was reached the government would deploy the teachers and some cultural experts to Brazil.

“The Yoruba-speaking communities, which reside in the Bahie region of Brazil, are the major target for this programme.

“That is where we have large numbers of people believed to be the descendant of the Oduduwa,” he said.

Aminu said a centre for the study of Yoruba culture and language had been opened in Brazil.

The Director also said a similar programme had been extended to Yoruba-speaking communities in Benin Republic. http://www.ngschoolportal.com/2015/03/fg-plan-to-deploy-yoruba-teachers-to.html
