I don’t know how long I will stay here and this environment is very strange; I don’t know anywhere here.” The Student Union Government (SUG) Director of Information confirmed this to Myschoolnews and stated that they are actively monitoring the situation to determine what exactly transpired. The university community is deeply concerned about Ekpereamaka's safety and is urging authorities to take swift action.

The University of Maiduguri recently administered an exam that included an unconventional question: “As a patriotic Nigerian, write the new national anthem in full.” The question, appearing as the second item on the exam sheet, has sparked discussions among students and social media users. The decision to ask students to compose a new national anthem has raised eyebrows. While some view it as an opportunity to foster patriotism and creativity, others question its practicality and relevance. The introduction of this exam question has sparked a broader debate. Critics argue that addressing urgent issues like inflation, insecurity, and economic challenges should take precedence over anthem changes. However, proponents emphasize the cultural significance of a new anthem in promoting patriotism and unity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ3mgNs0qEo Professor Ishaq Oloyede expressed his opinion on the long-standing debate regarding the first university to be established in Nigeria. During his speech at the Valedictory lecture of Professor Benjamin Ozumba, he brought up the issue and stated that there is no historical dispute that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) was the first university in Nigeria. Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, expressed his opinion on the long-standing debate regarding the first university to be established in Nigeria. During his speech at the Valedictory lecture of Professor Benjamin Ozumba, he brought up the issue and stated that there is no historical dispute that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) was the first university in Nigeria. The Registrar clarified that the University of Ibadan was not established before UNN, as it was only a University College at the time. "When someone say this is the first university in Nigeria, nobody in history can dispute it because it was the first university. University of Ibadan was not established before UNN, what we had was University college. You cannot write about the history of universities in West Africa without talking about UNN", he asserted. Expanding his discourse, Professor Oloyede extended scrutiny to the rivalry between the University of Ibadan and the University of Ghana, both vying for the title of West Africa's premier university. He debunked their assertions, labeling them as "mere colleges" upon establishment. Highlighting a pivotal distinction, he elucidated that graduates from these institutions were categorized as external candidates, signifying their affiliation with the University of London rather than with their purported alma maters. Further, Professor Oloyede's statement aimed to educate and provide clarity on the issue, rather than to patronize UNN. He emphasized that UNN was the first full-fledged university in Nigeria, and this fact cannot be disputed historically.

In a candid interview with MySchoolNews TV, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, delivered a powerful message to students: “JAMB must be your enemy.” His remarks came during the valedictory lecture of the 14th Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Professor Benjamin Ozumba. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsW7jXTyFjY?si=0uBAFeGBuWWlWoRM Professor Oloyede’s statement challenges conventional wisdom. Rather than viewing JAMB as an ally, he emphasized that considering it an adversary could lead to better outcomes. “If JAMB is your friend,” he asserted, “then you are not doing what you are supposed to do.” According to him, treating JAMB as an opponent fosters a sense of urgency and commitment, ultimately driving students to perform at their best. In a recent development, JAMB has demonstrated its commitment to maintaining rigorous standards. During the Direct Entry registration exercise, the board uncovered 1665 fake A-level results. This revelation underscores JAMB’s vigilance in ensuring the integrity of the examination process. As students gear up for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scheduled from April 19th to April 29th, the stakes are high, and all hands must be on deck. With the UTME just around the corner, students across the nation must intensify their preparations. JAMB’s insistence on being perceived as an adversary serves as a wake-up call. It encourages students to approach their studies with determination, discipline, and a healthy sense of competition. As the examination dates draw near, candidates should heed Professor Oloyede’s advice: make JAMB your enemy, and you’ll emerge stronger and better prepared. In the coming weeks, examination halls will witness the culmination of months of hard work and dedication. As students sharpen their pencils and review their notes, they carry with them the weight of their aspirations. JAMB, ever watchful, stands as both gatekeeper and guide—a challenge to overcome and a path to success. Let this be a reminder to all aspiring scholars: embrace the struggle, for it is through adversity that greatness is forged. As the clock ticks down to the UTME, may every student rise to the occasion, armed with knowledge, resilience, and the determination to conquer their academic Everest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmCBviBUM7U The Chairman, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU University of Nigeria, Nsukka Chapter, Dr Linus Moses Akata has asserted that SSANU is bracing itself for potential repercussions regarding its stance on the strike ultimatum. He made this known in an interview with MySchoolNews TV in the university environs. Akata disclosed that the strike came as a response to unmet agreements from 2022 by the government on the stoppage of the renegotiation of the 2019 agreement which was a Collective baining Agreement that took 8 years to reach, the release of end allowances they couldn't release as promised and the reconstitutioning of governing Council. However, one of the key concerns raised by the striking unions is the unequal treatment of non-teaching staff compared to academic staff. Despite assurances from the current administration, grievances regarding salary areas and essential services' payments remain unresolved as the federal government only paid 4 months areas to the academic staff. The strike, which commenced with a seven-day warning phase, has already disrupted essential services such as water supply, hostel maintenance, and academic activities. Gerardine, the Hall Governor of a hostel on campus, highlighted the challenges faced by students and staff since the strike began. "There is no water," she lamented, noting that even basic tasks like cleaning and hostel management have been affected. Furthermore, the strike has forced the postponement of Computer-Based Tests (CBT) exams, affecting students' academic schedules. Gerardine expressed concern over the lack of communication from the administration regarding measures to address the strike's effects on campus services. The strike's impact extends beyond water and hostel services, affecting electricity supply and security arrangements. While essential services like security have not joined the strike, concerns over fair compensation and working conditions persist among these personnel. In response to queries about the strike's duration and potential outcomes, the union representative emphasized their determination to press for their demands. They urged solidarity among NASU and SSANU members, emphasizing their resilience and readiness to endure further challenges if necessary. "He who is down fears no fall. We have being owed already so what is there? So it is just between the deep blue sea and the Devil Himself and the level of compliance will tell you that people are ready, even for the worst. You can cease as many salaries. If we could survive 8 months then they we can survive eternity", Akata affirmed.

In a recent turn of events, Dr. Blessing Chinweobo, a lecturer in the department of Mass Communication at the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), has threatened legal action against Myschoolnews, an online news platform. The dispute stems from a publication made by Myschoolnews based on a Facebook post by Dr. Chinweobo. https://myschoolnews.ng/omo-see-spacing-mass-communication-department-at-unn-promotes-academic-integrity-amidst-large-class-sizes Dr. Chinweobo’s original post on Facebook read as follows: “In Mass Comm UNN, most classes are almost 400 in number. Yes, the number is large, but we are very organized and have zero tolerance for all forms of academic malpractices. Today is Monday, and our Mondays are usually beautifully blue. Our students, nko? Be the judge.” A student, reacting to the lecturer’s post, highlighted students who appeared unprepared for an exam based on their expressions. The student’s comment read: “So I decided to zoom in. That girl’s face, though.” Dr. Chinweobo, in response to the student’s remark, asked: “Wetin do their faces? They are on hot seats, na.” The student replied: “It’s not just about the hot seats. I guess it’s about empty sheets.” On Thursday, 21 March 2024, Dr. Blessing Chinweobo, accompanied by armed security personnel, stormed the office of Myschoolnews UNN Branch. Subsequently, a staff member from Myschoolnews was taken into custody. However, the staff was later released on bail after a call from Prof. S.I. Ofoefule, Director, SERVICOM Unit. Remarkably, Myschoolnews subsidiary's company (Fondstack Service Limited) customer care phone remains illegally seized and in the possession of the UNN security department which has resulted into loss of business deals. Myschoolnews management also pleaded with the Security department at University of Nigeria Nuskka to release Fondstack.com Customer care mobile phone to enabe the company continue her services with Customers but the request was declined. Dr. Chinweobo had previously called Myschoolnews, threatening legal action if they did not take down the publication. She emphasized that she disliked the headline attached to the picture and hinted that Myschoolnews has no right to use the pictures of students taking examination which was sourced from her social media page. However, Dr. Chinweobo failed to acknowledge that taking pictures of students inside an examination hall is against UNN guidelines. Furthermore, she maintained that Myschoolnews is supposed to contact her before using the contents she shared on the public domain. Myschoolnews, in response, stands by its publications, asserting that the company has the right to use pictures from the lecturer’s public social media page. As of this publication, the dispute remains unresolved, and both parties continue to hold their ground. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as legal proceedings unfold.

This entails incorporating project-based assignments, case studies, and real-world problem solving activities to stimulate critical thinking. Simultaneously, fostering a risk-tolerate mindest is imperative", Okorie stated.

https://myschoolnews.ng/UNILAG%20student%20spotted%20begging%20alms%20for%20N225,000%20fees%20in%20Gbagada Before Myschoolnews published about Oluwakemi, a final year part-time student at UNILAG, had been struggling to raise the required N225,000 in school fees since the announcement of the fee increment. In a heartwarming turn of events, a good Samaritan has come forward to help Oluwakemi, a student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), who was recently spotted begging for alms to pay her school fees. The generous individual not only paid Oluwakemi’s tuition fees but also promised to support her education through the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and master’s level Oluwakemi, a final year part-time student at UNILAG, had been struggling to raise the required N225,000 in school fees since the announcement of the fee increment. She resorted to begging for alms in the Ifako-Gbagada area of Lagos state, holding a placard that read, “Please help a final year student with her school fees. God bless you”. Oluwakemi’s story gained attention and touched the hearts of many. The good Samaritan, who wishes to remain anonymous, not only paid off Oluwakemi’s outstanding fees but also expressed their commitment to supporting her education beyond undergraduate studies. This act of kindness has brought hope and relief to Oluwakemi, who had been facing immense financial pressure. The University of Lagos recently announced an increase in tuition fees, which sparked protests from students. However, following the outcry, the university authorities decided to reduce some of the fees charged to students. Despite this adjustment, many students like Oluwakemi continue to face financial challenges. Acts of kindness like this remind us of the power of compassion and generosity. By investing in Oluwakemi’s education, the good Samaritan has not only changed her life but also contributed to building a brighter future for our society. Education is a fundamental right that should be accessible to all, regardless of their financial circumstances. Oluwakemi’s story serves as an inspiration and a call to action. It highlights the importance of supporting students who face financial difficulties in pursuing their education. Scholarships, grants, and bursaries are some avenues through which individuals and organizations can make a difference in the lives of students like Oluwakemi. As we celebrate this act of kindness, let us remember that each one of us has the power to make a positive impact on someone’s life. Together, we can create a society where no student is left behind due to financial constraints. MySchoolNews Wishes to Thank All Those Who Cared and Attempted to Reach Out to This Lady. God Bless You All. SOURCE: https://myschoolnews.ng/good-samaritan-pays-unilag-students-tuition-fees-and-promises-scholarship-through-nysc-and-postgraduate-studies 1 Like 2 Shares

According to report made available to MySchoolNews , The Security Department of the University have observed that some of the students, especially the females dress indecently call these Okada men on phone for the purpose of ferrying them to some unwholesome places in town for indecent nocturnal life in what is termed in contemporary modernism as, "campus runs" among female students. The statement reads; TOTAL BAN ON STUDENTS' PATRONAGE OF OKADA SERVICES INSIDE CAMPUS In recent times, operations of Okada men have been on the increase within the campus environment especially at night. This unfortunate development has become too rampant requiring immediate stringent actions. While the Security Department has been doing her best to tame this raging tide and security challenge, I have observed that some of our students, especially the females, are complicit in this ugly act. It has been established that these females, who also dress indecently call these Okada men on phone for the purpose of ferrying them to some unwholesome places in town for indecent nocturnal life in what is termed in contemporary modernism as, "campus runs" Consequently, I am constrained to place a total ban on Okada operation in our campuses and more importantly on the attitude of students calling Okada men for services within campus. While I encourage the Security Department to adopt improved strategies against this menace, I am compelled to send a strong warning to all students involved in promoting Okada operations in our campuses. Henceforth, any student caught in this ugly act will be sent to the Disciplinary Board and sanctioned appropriately in line with the laws and regulations of the University of Nigeria. Please, be advised.
