The Federal Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for electrification of eight Federal Universities, one Teaching Hospital and the host communities.

The project, which targets over 300,000 students and others within their immediate environment, is the first phase of government’s plans to power 37 federal universities and seven teaching hospitals in the country.
​​
The Rural Electrification Agency (REA), which signed the MoU on behalf of the Federal Government with the universities, said the project aims to provide uninterrupted power supply through off-grid captive power plants in a bid to resolve power to the tertiary institutions.
Its Head of Special Projects, Mrs. Anita Otubu, said the first phase, which would be carried out in nine institutions would be completed in 2018 and would benefit over 300,000 students and staff.

The federal universities and teaching hospital that signed the MOU with the REA are the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi; Bayero University, Kano; Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto; Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi; Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka; University of Lagos, Akoka; Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun, Delta; Obafemi Awolowo University and Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Osun.

Meanwhile, former Executive Secretary of the NUC, Prof. Peter Okebukola yesterday tasked the Federal Government to increase funding for the nation’s universities.
He noted that in an interconnected world, solving Africa’s climate change, food, national, health and security challenges would amount to failure if not addressed within a global framework.

Okebukola spoke at Mountain Top University’s third lecture titled: “More Investment, More Harvest: Agenda for Enhancing Social Responsibility of Nigerian Universities,” held in Lagos.

“Proprietors and managers of Nigerian universities will need to at least quadruple the financial investment in the institutions to give hope that there will be a doubling of the scores on social relevance,” he said.

Play Politics with National Security
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo Wednesday cautioned the governors of the 36 states of the federation to resist the temptation of playing politics with matters of national security, saying doing so is unhealthy for the country’s unity.

#4. CBN Aligns with NCC, to Resist ‘Hostile’Takeover of Etisalat
Just like the Nigerian Communications
Commission
(NCC), the leadership of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has informed the 13 banks that extended a $1.2 billion facility to Etisalat Nigeria that it would resist the move by the lenders to take over the network operator without its express approval. This was the fallout of a meeting held between CBN officials and the CEOs of the 13 banks Wednesday in Abuja.

#5. Education Minister: CRK Now
Compulsory Subject in Schools
The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, wednesday denied the submission by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) last week that Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) had been removed from secondary school education curriculum, saying instead, CRK has been made compulsory for Christian pupils.

#6. Mourinho tells Manchester United he
prefers Neymar to Ronaldo
Jose Mourinho has told Manchester United to drop their pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo and aim to sign Neymar instead, according to Don Balon. Ronaldo has been linked with a return to Old Trafford, after reports emerged that he wants to quit Real Madrid this summer.

The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, wednesday denied the submission by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) last week that Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) had been removed from secondary school education curriculum, saying instead, CRK has been made compulsory for Christian pupils.
Adamu who made this clarification while briefing journalists at the end of yesterday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in the State House, said CRK had been made compulsory for Christian pupils the same way Islamic Religious Knowledge was made compulsory for Muslim pupils.
The President of CAN, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, had last week led a delegation to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, with an allegation that the Ministry of Education had replaced CRK with Islamic and Arabic Studies, acting on the recommendation of National Education, Research and Development Council. However, Adamu said the dummy was sold to CAN by the social media and probably by an individual who wanted to add to the growing tension.......... www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/06/22/education-minister-crk-now-compulsory-subject-in-schools/

Bic was cool.....
Eleganza had this inky smell,but all your handwriting will cone out with eleganza,

These days,nonsense polo,lucky,racer,Leo...some dont even have names.Some even have d names of dog breeds,even Schneider is becoming awful.
I have stopped buying pens,anywhere I go I borrow because I don tire.

Especially this new brand called Avanti. Their case is nicely crafted but the ink is nonsense.

I thought I was the only one affected not until I met a friend who brought out like ten new pens from his bag. I was like "O boy, you dey sell am ni?" He replied "No o, na so so fake fake biro. Biro wey I dey buy now no dey last me for one day."

The pen I buy these days always malfunctions hours after I bought them. I have tried buying from different places; tried different colours; tried different brands, but they are just the same - all FAKE. I missed the days of Eleganza and Bic. So many pen brands have flooded our market.

Do you experience this too?

Great one OP,

Here is another post on reasons why students fail you will find helpful.
Top 15 reason why students fail.
www.studentcosmos.com/reasons-why-students-fail-exam/

uzoclinton:
contact the guy and ask for a link back... that's the only thing you can do...

Okay. So once I get a link back it won't affect my google ranking?

eezeribe:
That's what you bloggers all do... Copy and paste

point of correction, not all. Coz I don't.

Hello co-bloggers,
I will need your sincere opinion on this. It's on plagiarism.
I found one of my articles on two different blogs. The first one copied the whole article, including the inbound links I placed inside the post (quite hilarious tho because so many text links still points to my blog). This doesn't bother me much as I have made my research on google and I know what to do.

However, what bothers me more is the second person who seems more clever. He also copied all the post (carefully unlinked all my internal links) and added it to his own post. Let me make it clearer, he took my "15 ways to ..........", added more points to it and published "25 ways to......." (This is just for illustration).
-
-Can it still be said that he stole my content since he already added to it?
-What can I do or what action can I take that won't make me shoot myself on the leg later?
I need you to throw more light to this.
