Nope.
Tertiary institutions in all States(state owned and FG) are controlled by FMoE.
State Government can only control primary and Secondary Schools.
In this Context of resumption.

Federal Government control only Federal. Education is under concurrent list.

Happy birthday Korede.

Babalakin and registrar played by more powerful block.

Learn to read before making comments. Her father is Professor Akin Mabogunje, the first Professor of geography in Nigeria. Her younger brother is a Professor at Stanford University, USA.

I am sorry.

Bimpe29:
She is an heroine.

From being a first child to the first Professor of Geography in Nigeria to being appointed as the first female Provost of Unilag College of Medicine to being elected as the first female Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos.

Congratulations to Professor Mrs Folasade Ogunshola!

It doesn't look doctored to me

This report is Wrong.
Teenagers from 18yrs and above are forcefully enlisted, not Children.

how possible is it?

ModestGal:
You blacks are fucking retarded pathetic racists, I can't believe you still racist against your fellow Igbo people, Hausa's are bad, Yoruba's are bad, now your fellow kinsmen, to what End? I'm sure you will still race against fellow state people so far they ain't family, you will still see how you can't roll with them. Freaking annoying

The person you quoted is not Igbo. She is just trolling.

yunglegend99:
i know they were different but i wasnt sure because the person had more experience than me, so i was starting to believe him but there was still doubt that is why i decided to ask to confirm

Ok.

yunglegend99:
Thanks i thought they were dsame

You said you had an argument.
You said the person said they are the same.
You said you thought they are the same.
So what made it an argument if both you and the person thought it is the same?

If you want to ask questions about what is confusing next time , be straight forward. Stop hiding in-between, using people.

Like you have been answered above.

University of Lagos (Unilag) is a federal school
Lagos State University (LASU) is a state school.

They are different.

REMOVAL OF PROF. OLUWATOYIN OGUNDIPE AS UNILAG VICE CHANCELLOR; MATTERS ARISING.

At the University of Lagos, this is quite an unusual times. The hen has finally come home to roost, Prof. Ogundipe has been requested by his employer, the Council, to step aside.
The contentious word, now trending over this development, is "REMOVAL".
Not many people were shocked when the matter took this ugly turn. The development was not an accident. Some build up of tension had preceded this stage. The media was awashed with contents indicating that all was not well with the leadership in Unilag. Allegations of financial impropriety against Unilag officers, including the Vice chancellor, rented the air. Queries were issued. All of these were based on the reports of some Council committees, which have been of public knowledge. Most of us saw this coming. Therefore, no keen observer would be surprised that the matter took this turn.
Back to the issue of removal, and the procedure adopted. The amended Universities miscellaneous Act of 2003 requires the Council to set uo a joint Committee of itself and the Senate before a recommendation to remove the VC can be forwarded to the President, who is the Visitor.
The provision of the Universities Act is clear and unambiguous. But as it were, the Vice chancellor is the chairman of the Senate. With all these catalogue of damning Council committees' reports, touching on the person of the sitting Vice chancellor, the propriety, and the possibility, of allowing the Vice chancellor, as chairman of Senate, to participate, fairly, in the election or the nomination of the senate members to the "joint committee" of Council is an illusion.
The Council raised a motion, in its wisdom, to ask the Vice chancellor to drop those privileges, such as Senate chairmanship, by asking him to step aside. This step, called removal or suspension is a necessary step that paves way for the provision of the University Act to be seamlessly observed. The implication is that Professor Ogundipe cannot be a judge in his own case. This decision of the Council is in order.
REPORT OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF SENATE ON THE COUNCIL DECISION
The Senate representatives, to Council, acted in bad faith with their publicized report which they made to their constiruency, and which informed the emergency senate meeting. Their condemnation of the procedure that led to the step aside,or suspension or removal resolution, was an error. As a matter of fact, that they participated in the voting exercise, and not showing any dissension by way of abstaining from voting, validated the exercise and made them part and parcel of that decision, now tagged removal. If the voting result had come out in their favour, would they have cried foul? The more honourable thing was to have abstained from voting and report back accordingly, giving their reasons. By voting, they were part of the scheme that removed the Vice chancellor, as the result of the voting was binding on all of the participating Council members.
THE UNAUTHORIZED REPRESENTATION OF SSANU BY FORMER CHAIRMAN AND THE CURRENT VICE CHAIRMAN
The unauthorized representation of the senior staff union by duo of Comrade Oriwaye Adefolalu, an erstwhile SSANU Unilag branch Chairman, and the current Vice Chairman, SSANU, Unilag branch, Comrade Sowunmi is, to say the least, disappointing. The two had camouflaged a non-aligned posturing, before SSANU members, until their surreptitious collaboration with the ASUU leadership, where and when they posed as speaking for the Senior Non Teaching staff. While they have the freedom to associate with anybody, supporting a cause, on which SSANU has for long resolved to remain neutral, and going to the extent of signing a communique on behalf of the union, without the members' consent, is not a responsible action.

Besides, asking the representative of Congregation in Council to brief his constituency on the happenings in Council, as to how the step aside motion went, was unnecessary. It was rather hypocritical since the meeting was still on going

Going by the available accusations from the Council, certainly, the former Vice chancellor has a lot of explanations to make. Now free from official encumbrances, of the office of Vice chancellor, he can prepare his defence, and will not be interferring with the channels of investigation. The Acting vice chancellor will summon the Senate meeting to appoint/elect a senate member to join the Joint committee of the Council, as prescribed by the Universities Miscellaneous act, 2003. Only this arrangement can facilitate fairness and error free procedure.
It is the lot of all interested parties to sue for calm and allow justice, fairness and equity to play out in a matter like this.
Long live Unilag!

So biased.

debola33:
The purported letter signed by the Registrar shows the VC is a gooner

The registrar doubles as the Secretary of the Council.

He is part of the team fighting The VC.
They did not follow due process.
The VC is going nowhere.

Really frustrated, Cos I resigned from my job to take up this course.

I hope we resume next month and get done with this already.

dantewest:
Vaccines are usually very cheap and sometimes free. $10 is too much

free because someone paid for it.

Ovie56:
I have my certificate, my school is notorious in delaying stuff likes this and they're not even open, also I was told that I need to have it submitted before writing the exam, that is what I'm trying to confirm.

If you have your certificate, Unilag would not be needing ur transcript.

The requirement is certificate, it is in d absence of certificate that u will provide a transcript.

Even at that, they would not ask for transcript before Exam, it is during screening later in d year when you must have been admitted.

I made a mistake of sending transcript when I had my certificate, and it was wasted.

With your Original Certificate, not Statement of Result, You are good to Go.

Ovie56:
Hello guys, I'm planning to take Unilag M.sc form but I don't have my transcript ready and I won't have it ready before the entrance exam. should i still go ahead and take the form?

Why won't it be ready?

Do you have your certificate?

It should be ready before screening, not Exam.
So, Write your Exam.

Screening might be coming by the end of the year or even next year.

GboyegaD:
Pele. Hardwork pays no doubt however, you need first check whether na wetin you get power for. God go bless your hustle.

Good Afternoon Sir
Please I sent you a mail boss.

Lipscomb:
What funny now? Stop laughing in the public with that of your dirty teeth. Very shameful human being. God will punish you as you continue supporting that bastard in the Aso rock.

When did this one deny Buhari?

Hope Uzodidimgba , where are thou?

GboyegaD:
Realized you are into Sports Medicine. There's this Nigerian who used to be a Faculty member at University of Calgary who also is into Sports Medicine. He's left now but he could link you with the right professors if you plan on applying to PhD at University of Calgary. Unfortunately, we are not friends else, i would have introduced you to him to make it easier.

You could drop your phone number or email and i will forward his name to you. In case you reach out to him, I know there is a Nigerian lady as well however, I can't remember her name at this time.

Start building up your network.

Wow!

Thank you so much sir.
I have sent u a mail right away!

GboyegaD:
Oga, please leave the Dr. for formal things. Here na informal things.

No problem boss.

GboyegaD:
Usually, they say it isn't mandatory but if you have it, present it with your application.

Thank you so much Dr. Gboyega Sir..
I hope to ask more questions as I start my own journey sir

GboyegaD:
First, you need establish if your department requires a potential supervisor who had indicated interest before you apply or you can apply without a supervisor. After that, check the requirement to ensure you meet it. You can also write the graduate director to seek opinion on what they look out for if the program does not require a supervisor.

Thank you so much sir for your Answer.....

So, is there any test score requirement?

GboyegaD:
Funding requires you work 12hours a week in return for the money you get from the department. Some semesters, you might be lucky to be assigned to a course that on average you work less than 3 hours a week and some you work the entire 12 hours or more. Junior year classes requires more tutorials so such ckasses, you work more hours compared to senior/graduate classes. It could be in either TA or RA positions. Scholarship is free money you don't work for.

Wow
This is really informative!
So how can I start going about it?

GboyegaD:
The good thing is that most (if not all) PhD programs in Canada comes with 4years guaranteed funding subject to certain conditions however, the funding amount varies from year to year even within a department and institution. As for province, most provinces are generally cold there are apparels for each season. As for recognition of degrees from Nigeria, from my observation, the science oriented ones with a Nigerian Masters degree are most times accepted directly into PhD while the non sciences in most cases are not. The reason for this is because the science oriented courses are practical based thus, the research are same everywhere in the world and for non science, we have a very different curriculum from theirs.

What is the difference between Funding and scholarships, and how i go about it?
Please sir,

GboyegaD:
No, I got funding. The fundamental difference is that for scholarship, you are not expected to work for it however, funding requires some commitment in Teaching/Research Assistant for some hours weekly. It sometimes has some elements of scholarship in it however, this varies from university to university.

If you have other questions let us discuss on the PhD thread so that we do not detail this thread.

Okay boss.

GboyegaD:
Then I just started my 2nd year of PhD. I'm done with it now however, I am not in the academic space because, research isn't much fun for me.

Oh... Ok.
You were on scholarship?
