Those who are in school are yet to come out and people are rushing to buy jamb form

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has registered over 300,000 candidates for its 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in one week.

The Board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.

Benjamin said that this was coming a week after the commencement of the registration exercise.

According to him, the registration so far has been seamless, and the board is happy with the development.

“We are happy with the way the process is going; we hope it will continue this way.

“So far, we have registered over 300,000 candidates as at Thursday...read more

One of the seven demoted professors has sued the vc of the university to court in Yenagoa.

Lecturer Sues FUOtuoke VC For Demoting Him

It's a 2 way thing indeed. It's either he wins in court or gets sacked

It is also sad that out of the 7 demoted staff of the university, only one person is talking and fighting for his right, the rest are just being silent over the whole issue.

I think this is a good move because the school management is feeling they are untouchable and so they can do anything they want.

The demoted lecturer is also seeking “an order of the honourable court setting aside the defendants’ letter of 5th of July, 2018, converting the claimant’s statutory appointment to a mere contract of employment”.

Stephen Nwabuzor, dean of Engineering faculty, who is among the professors demoted by the Federal University Otuoke in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, has dragged the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Professor Seth Accra Jaja, and the management of the institution to the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Yenagoa, over his demotion from rank of Professor to Lecturer 1.

On December 20, 2018, fuocampusgist had reported that the Governing Council of the institution made the decision to downgrade seven professors of the Federal University Otuoke at its 10th meeting.

However, in a suit filed before the National Industrial Court, marked NICN/YEN01/2019, the aggrieved Professor Nwabuzor sought the order of the court to make a declaration that the regulation of his appointment as Professor to a pensionable appointment by the institution’s letter of the appointment dated September 1, 2015 and the confirmation of his appointment vide the letter of February 21, 2017, has statutory flavour and could not be tampered with except in accordance with the Federal University, Otuoke (Establishment) Act 2015.

The deteriorating state of students welfare in Federal University Otuoke is too alarming for a Federal University that is still very much young. This post is aimed at highlighting some of the challenges students face not only in the school but also within the immediate school environment. Now we have to look into some internal issues within our school community, which has been a thing of concern to majority of students.

Let me start from the issue of the exorbitant house rent in otuoke community.
I’m very sure most of the students living off campus are aware of the unacceptable yet exorbitant house rents being paid by students. Now we can’t continue to live in that situation, it’s very important to address this issue with utmost attention because we the students will continue to bear the consequences.

Now in most federal universities, sufficient accommodation is provided for students till graduation but it’s a different case here in Otuoke. Here, the hostel built is meant for only 100level students who are forced to leave the hostels after the session. The hostels are not even enough to accommodate the 100level students and yet nothing is being done about the students welfare.

What is wrong with building more hostels to accommodate the ever increasing school population?
The landlords are busy building substandard houses for students and yet hike the rents. I appeal to school authority, for the sake of students welfare to please look into this issue because students are seemingly helpless and the landlords are capitalizing on the helplessness of students in this aspect.

Secondly I will also like to delve into the condition of our hostels and lecture rooms. The hostel environment in Federal University Otuoke is not a site to behold. For God’s sake FUOTUOKE is a federal university and not a mechanic work shop. The case of no proper school gate (gosh! so painful), construction materials littered all over the East Campus, inadequate buildings and facilities...Read on here https://www.fuocampusgist.com/blog/2019/01/students-welfare-in-federal-university-otuoke-deteriorating.html#.XDlOkFxKjIV

CORRUPTION IN FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OTUOKE

Firstly I want to start by thanking the guys behind this platform for their ingenuity and creativity, it is indeed a credit to FUOtuoke and all FUO students. At least we now have a platform where we can air our views and grievances through writing so that the outside world ca get to see more of what is happening.

I am writing this because the management of Federal University Otuoke has been playing smart on the intelligence of over seven thousand student and it is not a good omen.

THE SUG MONEY
When this school was established in 2011, the school management included the sum of 3000 as student union charges even when there was none existing by that time until 2015 when the student union executives led by Comr. Stephen Akariwa came into office. What did the management do with the money derived from the collection of #3,000 from 2011 – 2014? Till today, the school is yet to release the SUG dues to the union executives

THE SPORTS DUES
Secondly, the management of this school has been extorting the sum of two thousand Naira only (#,2000) from our students in form of sports levy yet, they do not, I repeat, they do not sponsor or encourage sporting activities on campus. Every student and executives that has held the position of director of sports will attest to the attitude of the school management.

The only sporting activity done on campus is the annual VC’s cup which over the years has been poorly funded and supported by the school management. The recent and most annoying case that prompted this write up is the case of the just concluded West African Universities Games (WAUG) which was held in University of Port Harcourt in October, 2018.

A memo was released for all sports loving students to register for their sports of interest with the sport department and the training commenced immediately. Most students skipped lectures just to train in preparation of the games (I’m still wondering why sports was removed from the lecture timetable and it’s very annoying that even while it was there, lecturers still held lectures into the sports time.) Oh! FUO

Reports have it that the sports department submitted a budget of two million naira (#2,000,000) to the school management for the camping and welfare of the sports team for the games but the school turned it down, with the excuse that the money was too much.

What the heck? 2,000 X 5,000=10,000,000 and we’ve paid for it so how come they say no money? Where did all the money go to because there are no infrastructural projects going on in the school, even the sports hall they gave us to be using for the main time is so small that it can only contain a handful of students at once plus the fact that it’s not proper equipped.

Having forced all students to pay up their school fees and expelled those that couldn’t meet up with the deadline, this same administration refused sponsoring the school’s sports team to the just concluded WAU Games this year. IT may interest you to know that this same scenario played out last year and for two consecutive times, we have missed out on the WAU Games after training and preparing for it. It’s very appalling.....click link to read the full article.
