FG Is Responsible For Continuation Of Strike – ASUU

Image
The Academic Staff Union of Universities accused the Federal Government of being responsible for the continuation of its strike action This came from the ASUU Chairman, University of Ibadan, Dr. Deji Omole According to him, the union would not shy away from embracing purposeful dialogue with the authorities.. “ASUU has never run away from negotiation. The issue in contention is about implementation and not negotiation as being peddled by the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige. “It is sad that successive governments, including the incumbent, failed to realise that funding education is an investment which can bring about enduring positive change in the country,” said Omole. He added that the union would continue to fight to enable the Federal Government to wake up to its responsibilities. Omole stated, “When you reach an agreement, you must implement it. Why are we celebrating the Sallah festival? It is because someone promised to sacrifice his son to God and decided to fulfil ...

OAU Rejects 120 Cut-off Mark For University Admission

Image
Some Vice-Chancellors and the Academic Staff Union of Universities have rejected the decision of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to peg admission cut-off mark at 120 for universities and 100 for polytechnics, monotechnics and colleges of education. ASUU said the action, which it described as a “sad policy decision,” was in tandem “with the dream of the present government to destroy public universities in the country.” Most of the vice-chancellors interviewed on the issue maintained that they would not lower admission standards in their respective varsities. The vice-chancellors stated that the decision would add no value to the nation’s university system. For instance, the Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Tope Ogunmodede, said the institution would not admit any candidate with 120 UTME score. He said, “Traditionally, OAU has never admitted students who scored below 200 in the UTME. For us, we are sticking to 200. The minimum benchmark is 120 but you can g...

JAMB Replies Critics, Says Controversy Over Cut-Off Marks Unnecessary

Image
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has described as unnecessary the controversies over the reduction of cut-off marks for 2017 admission exercise into tertiary institutions by stakeholders at its policy meeting. Rather than criticisms, JAMB said Nigerians should be concerned about how to address the flight of citizens in glorified secondary schools called foreign Universities in places like country Ghana, Uganda, Gambia and others. “It is expedient to state here that the worst admitted cut-off mark in a Nigerian institution is far better than allowing them to fly out to some of the institution they are attending out there which we all know are nothing to be proud of”, JAMB said. The organisation had repeatedly emphasised that despite the reduction of cut-off points from 180 for Universities and 165 Polytechnics, to now 120 and 100 respectively for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME), institutions were not under compulsion to accept that as thei...
