Strike: Oritsejafor Urges ASUU, FG To Shift Ground

The President, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has urged the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, to shift ground to resolve the ongoing industrial action embarked upon by the union. This came as lecturers at Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, reaffirmed their support for the ongoing nationwide indefinite strike. Oritsejafor, who spoke yesterday in Abuja at the celebration to mark the country’s 53rd independence anniversary, said to resolve the strike that would be 90 days old today would not be a ‘win-win’ situation, adding that the two parties must give and take, in the interest of Nigerian students. “Government must shift ground and ASUU also must shift ground. If they will allow us, we can resolve it, we are prepared to provide solution, if they will allow us, it is possible,” he said. Also, the CAN boss in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Kenny Ashaka, yesterday, in Abuja stated that as leader of the continent, Nigeria deserved more than she had attained so far. Although the country is yet to achieve the desired standard of conduct and performance envisaged by its founding fathers, Oritsejafor expressed a strong hope that development would come as soon as all the challenges inhibiting its progress were surmounted. He said: “We must keep hope alive; we are still together and would be together. There has been modest improvement and development. It could be better. “But the atmosphere is not encouraging enough to hold those administering the country accountable, talking about the security challenges. We must all return to the path of sanity to be able to develop.” Meanwhile, lecturers at Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, have reaffirmed their support for the ongoing nationwide indefinite strike of Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

FG/ASUU confrontation

In any civilised and enlightened society, no government that bothers

itself about public opinion will allow the ongoing strike by the

Academic Staff Union of Universities to go on indefinitely. This is

more so when the next general election is coming up in less than two

years from now. Ordinarily, this strike is enough to bring down the

ruling government in civilised clime, but that is not to be in Nigeria

because the government, with all the instruments of office, is not

counting on people's vote, but on their own well designed, perfected

and tested scheme. Whether we like it or not, the scheme has worked

for them in Offa Local government election and heaven did not fall.

The grand design will follow in the 2015 presidential election. After

all, what can we the masses do? Nothing! It is sad.

AjiboyeFatunkasi,

25, Adeola Close, Gbagada Road,

Lagos State,

23480775485.

I'm sure if an opinion poll is sought from across the country on the

need to proscribe the Academic Staff Union of the Universities, the

body can't survive the next 48 hours. The inglorious strike embarked

upon is uncalled for now that the Federal Government is trying to

transform the entire country. If our graduates were being rated as

second class abroad, is it ASUU's obnoxious strikes that will help the

students or that the members double their teaching/research efforts?

ASUU's actions tantamount to insubordination, rascality and greed

against their employers. The Federal Government should proscribe ASUU

now and those who refuse to go back to classes should be dismissed.

There are thousands of other qualified people who could be engaged as

lecturers all over the country.

LECTURERS EXPOSED: LASU Students Beg Governor Fashola To Save Them From Sexual Harassment From Lecturers

Below is an open letter addressed to His Excellency, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, on the issue of sexual harassment and corruption by Lagos State University (LASU) lecturers.



Dear Sir,

The issue of intimate harassment and misconduct by lecturers in Nigerian universities has always been reoccurring in some of our universities and many lecturers have been found culpable in this ignoble act to the detriment of students. So many students have been victims of lecturers' escapades and we can no longer keep quiet over this issue that has ruined the lives of many students who have been our classmates or school mates as the case may be.

At the Lagos State University (LASU ), Ojo, we have so many dedicated lecturers who take their job seriously and discharge their duties accordingly. But there are those who capitalise in sexually harassing students they are meant to teach. At the Faculty of Law in LASU, the Sub-Dean of the faculty, Mr A. O. Ogunseye is one lecturer who has been known to be involved in the victimisation of students and intimate harassment of girls.

Your Excellency, I want to bring your attention to this issue and the attention of Nigerians to what we are passing through in the hands of Mr Ogunseye because we are tired of this extortion, victimisation and intimate harassment by him.

He has been doing this for a long time and for over five years without any form of reprimand from the school management thereby causing many students grief, pain and delays in their academic pursuit. The Vice-Chancellor of LASU, Professor John Oladapo Obafunwa is a man of integrity and I believe that if he is aware of this act, he will not hesitate to deal with such lecturer accordingly. Mr Ogunseye has committed so many atrocities against we students in the Faculty of Law and I think it is time to let you and the whole world know that we have suffered enough in silence.

He gives many girls 5 points after taking them to bed and many other brilliant students who deserve to have 5 or 4 points he would deny them this and would give them 1 or 2 points at most, even when it is glaring that these academically sound students deserve more than what he gave them. He collects huge amount of money from students in order to falsify and upgrade their results for them. Recently, he told a girl doing her undergraduate programme in Law and who is supposed to graduate with a third class degree to pay him one hundred and fifty thousand naira in order for him to upgrade her grade to second class upper. But when the girl told him she didn't have the money, he advised her to sell her blackberry phone in order to bring the money to him. He is obsessed with money and sex and has slept with so many girls in the Faculty of Law in order to give them marks they don't merit and many of them have suffered too much in his hands.

He also collects two hundred and fifty thousand naira from some students doing their Masters in Law (LL.M) programmes in order to upgrade their score to a higher score or grade which they don't merit. Every year, Mr Ogunseye abandons his official duty and travels abroad and spends up to two months without leave or any approval from the faculty and he would assign his course to junior lecturers who are not competent to handle the course. His stock in trade is to continually extort money from students and he has agents who usually solicit on his behalf for other students to pay him money for marks. As a result of his dishonourable role in upgrading scores for students, the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Dr Olatokunbo Obadina had to change the password of the portal used by lecturers in the Faculty of Law for uploading students' results so that Mr Ogunseye will not have access to carry out his despicable acts.

Mr Ogunseye was my project supervisor and for over four months he kept tossing me up and down and refused to approve my project even after collecting over ten thousand naira from me despite all the efforts I put in researching, writing, re-writing and typing the project and all the money I spent in doing this. Later when I discovered he was not ready to approve my project and was only interested in continuing to extort money from me, I had to apply for another project supervisor, Barrister Gbenga Ojo, who supervised my project and approved it without delay and without collecting any money from me. But I had to write another project for Barrister Ojo since his own department is different from that of Mr Ogunseye.

It is so frustrating the type of pain, both emotional and psychological, which Mr Ogunseye has put many students through. By his conduct, he is a disgrace to the Faculty of Law and the Lagos State University as a whole. People like this should not be entrusted with positions of authority because they end up abusing their power and corrupting the minds of young and upcoming students and jeopardising the future of many of them.

I hereby call on you sir, as the Visitor to the Lagos State University, to institute a proper and thorough investigation into this issue of intimate harassment, intimidation, victimisation, dereliction of duty and extortion by Mr Ogunseye, the Sub-Dean of the faculty of Law and if found culpable, he should be dealt with accordingly.

We recall that some lecturers were sacked recently by the University of Benin for these same issues of intimate harassment and extortion of students. Any lecturer who engages in this dishonourable behaviour does not deserve to be a lecturer and should be shown the way out of the university system to avoid bringing down the image of the university.

I hereby call on the Nigerian media to also investigate this matter discreetly using their tool of investigative journalism and I want the media to come to LASU Faculty of Law and interview many students on this issue especially girls who have been sexually harassed and abused on several occasions by Mr Ogunseye. This matter must not be swept under the carpet by the Lagos State government, the media and all well meaning Nigerians because enough is enough. We have suffered enough and we can no longer keep quiet in the face of flagrant abuses and misconduct by our own lecturers who should be role models to the youths.

It is my hope that this letter will be given adequate publicity by the media to let Nigerians know what we are passing through in LASU in the hands of randy lecturers even after the school fees were increased to a whooping two hundred and fifty thousand naira per student.

ASUU Strike: NUT Threatens To Shut Down Schools

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) advised parents to keep their children at home, warning that members were ready to resist the management’s plans to recall students to campus despite the ongoing strike.
Vice Chancellor, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba, Prof. Femi Mimiko
Vice Chancellor, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba, Prof. Femi Mimiko
This advise followed a statement by the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Olufemi Mimiko, who said he would reopen the institution if ASUU failed to call off its strike.

He said, “We have unbroken four-year academic calendar before the strike started. The strike has affected our programmes. It is not in the interest of our students. We hope ASUU will call off the strike soon, if not, we are considering taking a measure to bring our students back to the campus," he said.

The Chairman of ASUU AAUA, Dr. Busayo Mekusi, however, called the VC’s plan “an attempt to plunge the institution into an unending crisis.”

Mekusi told journalists in Akure on Thursday that the strike would continue and AAUA branch was committed to what he called “the revamping of public universities in the country.”

“We advise parents to restrain their wards from heeding the call as ASUU AAUA is still on strike, anybody trying to break the ongoing strike meant to better the lots of our students of tomorrow is an enemy of our future. All the members of the union should disregard this,” he stated.

Mekusi debunked the claims that the university had no subsisting agreement with the FG, saying that the ongoing struggle had given AAUA access to N1.05bn from the FG allocation.

He recalled that the state universities were duly represented during the negotiation and signing of 2009 agreement with the FG, and this account for why AAUA has been benefitting from the proceeds of ASUU struggle.

Meanwhile, the Ibadan acting zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Dr. Karo Ogbinaka, in a statement on Thursday said,

"After the meeting of Tuesday, September 19 with the Vice-President Namadi Sambo, it is clear that the Federal Government is merely paying lip-service to education in Nigeria and deceiving the Nigerian public on their commitment to its transformation agenda."

He warned students and parents not to be deceived with the agenda of the government, saying the strike was in the interest of Nigeria’s educational system.

ASUU Strike: NUT Threatens To Shut Down Schools

The Nigeria Union of Teachers yesterday gave a two-week ultimatum to the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities to end the strike embarked upon by lecturers in the nation’s public universities.

The NUT President, Mr. Michael Olukoya, stated this in Abuja at the end of the union’s meeting, NAN reported.
ASUU, had since July 1, embarked on a strike it described as “comprehensive, total and indefinite.”
The lecturers are protesting against the non-implementation of an agreement they entered into with the Federal Government in 2009.
Olukoya said members of the union would not hesitate to close down the nation’s schools, if the two parties failed to reach agreement after two weeks.
He described the current ASUU strike as nationalistic, patriotic and self-sacrificing.
He said, “We will not hesitate to shut down the education system in the country, if the government fails to fulfil or honour the agreement with the lecturers.”
Olukoya also  described the call by the Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole for an overhaul of the qualifications of teachers in the state as unacceptable to the NUT.
He said, “NUT will always be proud of its teachers, believing that all employment agencies are corruption-free, disciplined and quality-conscious in their employment drives.”
Olukoya also urged the governors of Kogi, Benue and Cross River states to honour the agreement they made with their teachers on the payment of 27.5 per cent teachers salary structure.

ASUU Vs FG: Private University Vice Chancellors Call For Peace

 Worried by the protracted industrial action embarked upon by public university lecturers under the aegis of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Vice-Chancellors of private universities have expressed concern and sympathy for the affected students, noting that there was need to end the three-month-old impasse between the Federal Government and the striking lecturers.

The VCs of Bells University of Technology (BELLSTECH), Prof. Isaac Adeyemi; Redeemer’s University, Prof. Zachariah Adeyewa; Covenant University, Prof. Charles Ayo; and Caleb University, Professor Ayodeji Olukoju, while expressing their discomfort, noted that Nigeria’s educational system needs strategic planning and restructuring to regain its lost glory

The VC, Redeemer’s University, Prof. Adeyewa, said “some of my children are also affected by the strike and have been pleading with me to send them to private varsities because they are tired of staying at home. In fact, I want to appreciate parents who are sending their children to private varsities because they are making a lot of sacrifices. I would have loved all my children to attend private varsities but I can’t afford the tuition fees.

“We are not happy that some of our children are becoming grand-parents at home because of the ongoing imbroglio between government and ASUU. The truth is that government and the citizens are not totally committed as the average parent will want to send his wards to smaller African countries to acquire education, where they may be lost to foreign cultures.”

Lamenting the unending industrial action by unions in the country’s public tertiary institutions, BELLSTECH VC, Adeyemi, said parties going into an agreement, especially between government and staff unions, should put up an implementation strategy that must be acknowledged by the parties.

“This way, if there are changes in the agreement due to the evolving realities of life, both parties must be carried along and be willing to re-negotiate. We need to have a holistic view of the project called Nigeria and agreement should be based on current realities of life because no situation is static. But I insist that there must be constant interaction and mutual agreement between both parties.

“If government says this is what she can afford now, the next thing is to agree on an implementation strategy for the balance. However, we shouldn’t wish away the fact that those in government are also Nigerians and the good of our education system is their concern. It takes a lot to fund education and these funds can’t be reared overnight, making strategic planning necessary to restructure our education system.

Strike: ASUU Is Lying, Says FG

The Federal Government has accused the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) of being economical with the truth on lecturers prolonged industrial action in the universities.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Youth and Students Matters, Com. Jude Imagwe, stated that the claim by the union that its action was to restore infrastructural decay in universities was nothing but a lie, noting that ASUU was fighting for allowances.
Imagwe was speaking in Abuja when he received some youth groups, who were on a visit to his office. His words: “They initially told us that it was about infrastructure, but it is about allowances.
N30b has been released for the payment of their accumulated allowances, and N100b earmarked for infrastructural development. It is important for the public to know that government did not say this is all that it will give, but government says go and start the payment with this amount and let us know the amount it will add”.

Meanwhile, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, will tomorrow join ASUU on strike as the union said it has mobilized its members across the country to embark on industrial action over alleged stoppage of their salaries for two months. SSANU, in a letter, dated 27 September, 2013, and addressed to its branch chairmen in all the universities in the country, directed its members to stay away from work from tomorrow until the salaries are fully paid.
The President of SSANU, Comrade Samson Ugwoke, said the strike will be total, while the General Secretary, who signed the letter directing members to stay at home from tomorrow, Comrade Promise Adewusi, said no member should go back to work until a counter directive was given.
Adewusi stated that the union took the decision following its letters to the vice-chancellors in universities, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Ministers of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu and Education, Nyesom Wike, as well as the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie. In the meantime, the suspended strike by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) is to resume on Friday.
The union alleged insincerity and failure of the Federal Government to honour agreement entered with the union.
The union also passed a vote of no confidence on the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), alleging that the board has failed to meet the needs and demands of polytechnic education in the country.

ASUU STRIKE: Jonathan Blames Labour Laws

Vacant Law lecture theater, University of Ibadan

Had the labour laws been better, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) would not have gone on strike. This opinion was expressed by President Goodluck Jonathan said on Sunday during a presidential media chat in Abuja.
Jonathan said it was unthinkable that lecturers in state-owned universities would go on strike over issues concerning their allowances in federal universities. He advocated a review of labour laws to curtail the excesses of ASUU and other labour unions.
President stated that such a situation would not emerge, if well-guided and well-thought out laws were in place regulating labour union activities.

He kept on saying that the N79 billion Earned Allowance arrears, which was the major reason for the ASUU strike, was not supposed to be paid from the federation account but from the Internally Generated Revenue of the universities, if a good labour law is in place.
Jonathan urged ASUU to reconsider its position, accept government offer, and call its members back to the classrooms.
It will be recalled that ASUU has been on an indefinite strike since June 30. The lecturers protest against the FG’s failure to honour a 2009 agreement signed between it and ASUU in 2009 pertaining to issues of university funding and improvement of infrastructure in the sector.

Confidence ‘boosts pupils’ academic success

A pupil at the top of the class is likely to be more confident, the study found

Children who are top of the class in primary school are likely to do better in exams later on because they are more confident, research suggests.

The Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics analysed test data of more than two million pupils in England for the research.

They also conducted a survey on confidence among 15,000 young people.

The survey asked pupils to rate how good they thought they were in English, maths and science.

The researchers concluded that those children who were ranked highly academically at primary school did better in secondary school, partly because their academic success early on had made them more confident in their abilities.

Our research highlights the importance of confidence in order to succeed”

They conclude that “rank position within primary school has significant effects on later achievement, conditional on end-of-primary national test scores”.

The study also finds pupils’ ranking in primary school has more of an impact on boys than on girls.

“Male confidence in a subject is five times more affected by their local rank compared to females.

“Accordingly, we find that male students gains four times more in later test scores from being top of class compared to a comparable female students.”

How To Add Adsense To Blogger Posts Using New HTML Template Editor

Adding Google ads inside Blogger posts is highly recommended if you really want to get the maximum clicks on your ads. There is no way someone will read your blog post without seeing the ads, be it under the post title or immediately after the blog post.
The Adsense ad at the top of my blog posts is the best so far; even earns me more money than the 728x90 leatherboard ad unit. So, if you are yet to insert Adsense ads inside your Blogger post, try to do so and see if your Adsense revenue will increase or not.

Placing the Google ads inside your blog post is not possible without having to edit your blog's HTML template. You cannot insert the ads with Blogger widgets just as you do on the sidebar, header or footer sections of your blog. Even if you place the ad codes in the wrong location in your HTML, the ad will not display when you view your blog. 

Today, I am sharing with you, the correct way of adding Adsense ad codes inside your blog posts using the new Blogger HTML template.

How To Get Started

==> Log in to www.google.com/adsense
==> Click on "My ads" tab
==> Click the "New ad unit" button
==> Select the 300x250 Medium rectangle ad size
==> Fill other options, save and get your ad code.

Now, we need to parse the ad code.

==> Go to http://www.freehtmlparser.blogspot.com/
==> Copy and paste your ad code inside the box and click the "Encode" button
==> Copy and paste the code somewhere eg in a notepad

Now you will add your parsed code in the codes below before using it in your blog's template.

==> If you want your ad to display at the left side inside your post

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> 
    <div style="float:left;">
    Paste your parsed adsense code here </div>
    </b:if> 

==> If you want your ad to display at the right side inside your post

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> 
    <div style="float:right;">
    Paste your parsed adsense code here  </div>
    </b:if> 

The codes above are conditional tags that restrict the Ads to post pages ONLY.

==> After adding your parsed codes inside the conditional tags above, copy and paste it somewhere. The customized code is what you will paste in the template.

Now, we need to add it to the new blogger HTML template

==> Log in to www.blogger.com
==> Go to "Template" > "Edit HTML"
==> Once the HTML loads successfully, click inside it
==> Press CTRL F on your keyboard to bring up the "find" box as seen below

==> Copy and Paste <data:post.body/> in it and hit the ENTER key on your keyboard. This will help you locate the code in the HTML.

The code might appear more than once in your HTML. So, click inside the find box and hit the ENTER key again. You will know if it appears more than once if you look closely at the corresponding "line number" on the left side of the new Blogger HTML editor as illustrated below.

Now place your Adsense customized code in this way:

If you find <data:post.body/> more than once in your template, paste your Adsense code above the SECOND and THIRD <data:post.body/> if you want your ad to be displayed below the post title/at the top of the post.

If you want it to display after the post, paste the code below the second and third <data:post.body/>. Alternatively, you can find the second <div class='post-footer'> and place the ad code directly under it.

Save your template and view your blog. The ads should appear in your post.

NOTE: Only three ad units can be displayed per page. So, if you already have three ads units on your page, the ad in your post might not display.

I hope this helps.

ASUU Strike: Bishops Offer to Mediate between FG, Lecturers

ASUU

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has offered to mediate in the protracted rift between the federal government and the Academic Staff of Union Universities (ASUU) over the implementation of the 2009 ASUU/FG agreement between the two parties.

Rising from its 2013 second plenary meeting in Otukpo, Benue State, yesterday, the bishops observed that the ongoing rift had crippled the education system in the country, and urged the federal government and the leadership of ASUU to come down from their stern positions and resolve their differences in the interest of the students.

In a communiqué, signed by the President of CBCN, Most Reverend Ignatius Kaigama, who doubles as the bishop of the Archdiocese of Jos, and the Secretary, Most Reverend Williams Avenga, who is also the bishop of Gboko, and made available to journalists in Jos, Plateau State, the bishops expressed regret that university students have been made to roam about the streets, following the indefinite strike.

The clerics stated that they could no longer afford to remain indifferent, while the future of the youths was being mortgaged.

The communiqué said: “We are disturbed by the crippling effect of the strike. As stakeholders in the education of our youths, we cannot stay aloof. We appeal to the federal government and ASUU to take the higher ground of mutual exchange and shifting of grounds for the collective responsibility of saving our university education and getting our youths back to the classrooms.

“We, the Catholic Bishops willingly offer ourselves as a conference to mediate in order to bring this deadlock to an end and usher in a harmonious, viable and sustainable environment for university learning.”

The bishops also lamented the denial of Catholics to acquire land to establish chaplaincy by some university authorities, adding that the action had contributed to the weakening of sound moral in the lives of the youths, who are the future leaders.

The clerics called on the federal government to foster religious freedom by allocating lands and removing all barriers to acquiring lands for religious worships.

On security, the CBCN congratulated the federal government on the bold measures adopted in combating the menace of the Boko Haram sect, which had reduced the acts of terrorism in the country, especially in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe States.
While reiterating the need for good governance, the conference noted that the quality of life in Nigeria does not reflect the level of the country’s immense human and natural resources.

The clerics also called for higher observance in the right and respect to lives and condemned attempts to introduce unwholesome values to the society by foreign agencies in their campaign for abortion. Supply of condoms and promotion of same-sex union and commended the Senate for its firm stand and outright rejection of the bill on same-sex marriage.

process, add your full name, date of birth, address and phone number.
This will be the address they will mail you the mastercard. If you
want to supply a different shipping address, then click to select a
different address.
In step 2 of the order process you have to specify a password and a
security question and answer. Please write down the information you
have submitted.
In step number 3 you will be asked to submit verification documents.
You have the choice to use national ID, passport or driving license.
You can use the Govt Voter ID of Nigeria or your national ID card to
sign up. If you have a passport you can use that too.

mastercard. Someone living abroad who has a mastercard or visa card,
can also load to your card.
I have seen an issue recently that when you get your card first you
cannot load money using another card. They require that you load your
card from sites like infolinks / odesk first. I don’t know why they
did this thing so before ordering this card make sure you are working
on any of these marketplaces and have at least $100 to load.
You can sign up for odesk (a freelance marketplace) and use this as a
payment method. From odesk just go to the payment methods and activate
the payoneer option. When they ask to sign up for a card, just click
that you already have a card and link it.
This card also has the US payment option available.
Basically US payment service is a virtual US bank account. You can use
this with Commission Junction to accept ACH/Wire transfers and you can
also use it on paypal. You can find about more online  earning  sites

UBE customized books are produced by the Federal Government and ought to be distributed free to pupils.
Though it is boldly marked “not for sale”, Vanguard learnt that teachers have been asking parents to go and buy the books in the open market, an action that smacks of connivance.
“Governor Orji must be mad with those involved in this illegal act,” an aggrieved father said in an interview.
A mother, who simply identified herself as Maureen, disclosed that she was given a list of books to buy for her children and paid N1,100 to acquire “Pupil Book 1 UBE Edition Learn Mathematics for Primary Schools.”
When confronted, Chief Micah Onyebuchi, ASUBEB chairman in the state, said the books which were being sold in the open market, were not meant for Abia State schools.
Onyebuchi said that all the books from UBE for the state were sent to his office directly, adding that they had been distributed to the schools in the state.
He stressed that the books were customized and not meant to be sold.
He said: “When the books are sent down to us, we stamp them with ASUBEB stamp beside the UBE/FGN not for sale and are given out to the pupils and I am sure that nobody in this office is playing pranks with the books meant to be given to pupils for free.
