A total of 257 fresh students of the Crescent University, Ogun State, have been advised to shun “inappropriate relationships” and the “use of intoxicants” during their stay in the institution. They were also enjoined to stay off cultism, immoral dressing, cheating, violence and other acts inconsistent with the standard regulation of the university. The Founder and Visitor to the University, Prince Bola Ajibola, who gave the advice as the fresh students took the Matriculation Oath last Thursday, urged them to face their studies with dedication while not forgetting to pay tuition fees promptly. Ajibola, a former Attoney -General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, said the institution is expanding its ICT capacity and reading space to enhance learning and teaching while expatriates are being recruited from India, Egypt and the United Kingdom to further strengthen the academic staff for success in future accreditation by the regulatory agency – National University Commission (NUC).

Two hundred and seventy- eight indigent students of higher learning have benefitted from the 2009/2010 Ikeoha Foundation Scholarship, a brain child of the Deputy Senate President, Prince Ike Ekweremadu. The scholarship scheme which is a yearly event started in 2004, and was restricted to indigent students from Enugu West senatorial zone comprising Aninri, Awgu, Oji-River, Ezeagu and Udi Local governments of Enugu State. But two local governments, Enugu North and Igbo Eze, were included this year because of sentimental attachment. Ekeremadu told beneficiaries that excellence in academics and character was expected from them, reminding them that “to whom much is given, much is expected”. The lawmaker,who chairs the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, said the body’s vision is hinged on the belief that “the social and economic well-being and advancement of the people, especially the more vulnerable groups such as women and youths, is a human right.” He also expressed joy that the foundation had made modest progress since it was founded five years ago. “Without being immodest, we are also celebrating our success story so far. It is, indeed, gratifying to note that the Ikeoha Scholarship Scheme has not only helped move the wheels of knowledge and education since its inception in 2004/2005 academic session but has helped in the realisation of dreams and in securing bright future,” he said. According to him, even though the primary catchment area of the foundation is Enugu West Senatorial District, the Ikeoha Foundation has as a matter of necessity extended her awards to other local governments of Enugu State. The Deputy Senate President disclosed further that so far, the foundation has awarded scholarships to 258 indigent, but brilliant students, adding that “it is our prayers that as our resources expands, other states and, indeed, the entire country will begin to benefit directly”. He said he was happy that the Ikeoha scholarship /bursary award for the 2009 /2010 witnessed an influx of applicants from across the five local government areas of Enugu West Senatorial District, “namely Animri, Awgu, Udi, Oji River, Ezeagu and two additional selected local governments ,namely Igbo Eze north and Enugu North” “We expect nothing less than excellence in academics and character from the beneficiaries of the 2009/2010 Ikeoha Scholarship Scheme.” At the event of cheques were presented to about 278 indigent students from various tertiary institutions, clothes were given to widows and about 96 motorcycles purchased by the Deputy Senate President for party officials in Enugu West District.

As four unit heads received keys to official vehicles at the newly established Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete last Friday, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Abdulrasheed Na’Allah, said the exercise was part of efforts to provide an enabling environment for optimal productivity. Na’Allah, who presented keys of one four-wheel drive and three cars to the Dean of Student Affairs, Head of Corporate Communications, Works department and the Head of Security Unit, said they should make judicious use of the vehicles in the performance of their duties. He explained that the exercise, which was the second in four days, was expedient to equip members of staff to fulfill the university’s mandate to produce 21st century graduates. “You will no doubt agree with me that for the mission of this university to be successfully actualised, all stakeholders must be collectively mobilised and given the enabling environment to perform their duties most diligently, efficiently and effectively. We are young and dynamic and no sacrifice can be too great to boost the morale of our staff towards moving this institution to greater heights sooner than later,” he said. In an interview with The Nation, Na’Allah said KWASU is poised to develop its pioneer 500 students and others into global citizens by exposing them to training, not just within the country but also abroad through linkages with foreign institutions. To this end, he said plans were in the offing to establish a Centre for International Studies which will liaise with institutions abroad to arrange linkage programmes such that students get an opportunity for international training. The Professor of Comparative Studies said development at the university established to fit into the Kwara State government’s education reforms would be continuous, assuring that in the nearest future, more physical structures would be added to the existing ones while new programmes offered by the university would be introduced and existing ones strengthened. Pioneer students have spent about two months in the newly established university and said is an interview that they love it. In addition to testify of enjoying the lectures, they love the fast developing environment they will learn in the next four or five years. With the level of ongoing construction work in different parts of the campus, in no time there would be dozens of red brick, brown and grey buildings serving different purposes. In the hostels, where students are accommodated in four-man rooms fitted with wardrobes and reading tables and chairs, students were seen relaxing, studying or moving to the kitchen to prepare their meals. They told The Nation that so far, they love the school and hope for the best during their stay. Joan Ejiwunmi Ajayi said she is having the time of her life studying Tourism and Hospitality Management at KWASU. “I love my course and I am enjoying the lectures. The structures on ground are okay. The school is okay,” she said. Another student, Adeyemo Adejare who is studying Computer Science said the hostel facilities are impressive. “It has been a wonderful experience. The lecturers are great. The facilities are all there. There is water and light. You can read 24 hours,” the 19-year old said.

The team made the donation during a recent Head and Neck Dissection Course organised by the ENT Department of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital in conjunction with St. George’s Hospital and Erasmus Medical Centre. The equipment, estimated to be more than N5 million, include Zeiss Operating Microscope, Diagnostic Clinical Audiometer and two-point Electric Powered Heinz Otoscopes. After being received by the Provost, College of Health Sciences, Prof. B.J.

The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has made adequate preparations for the successful conduct of the Harmattan Semester examinations, which will begin on January 25. Professor Albert Olayemi, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Management Services) spoke in his office last Thursday while commenting on the university’s readiness for the exams and the expectations from students. Urging students to be studious as there is no short-cut to success, the DVC also remarked that all university rules governing the conduct of examinations still subsist, and no honest effort should be spared by students in working hard to ensure academic success.

Former students of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB), Ogun State, under their umbrella group, the UNAAB Alumni Association, have expressed satisfaction over the physical and academic development of the institution. Their National President, Mr Bayo Ayorinde disclosed this in Abeokuta, the state capital, at a press conference organised to flag off the 12th National Convention and 13th Annual Lecture Series of the association. Describing the level of development at the Alabata permanent campus of the university as “unprecedented”, Ayorinde attributed the positive development and growth of their alma mater to the managerial acumen and efficiency of the school authorities led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olaiya Balogun.  Ayorinde, who was flanked at the event by the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, Mr. Moruf Popoola and the National Secretary, Mr. Michael Ogunjobi, noted that the progress had manifested in the rising number and quality of first class graduates of the 22-year old institution. On the contributions of the association towards the development of the university, Ayorinde explained how the association boosted the academic excellence of the institution through seminars and workshops organised for undergraduates and donation of computers to the Examinations and Records Unit of the institution. Ayorinde, however, noted that with improved funding of tertiary education by the federal and state governments, the quality of graduates in the ivory towers would be enhanced.

Amid pomp and colour, the new Vice-Chancellor of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Professor Femi Mimiko, last week, assumed office. He was received by members of the university management led by the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oladele Awobuluyi, who was named the Vice-Chancellor of the nine-year old institution in acting capacity following the sack of the former Vice-Chancellor, Professor Philip Playele Abiodun by the government. Performing the formal handing over, Awobuluyi recalled that the university, named after the Second Republic Governor of the old Ondo State, the late Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin, was in a chaos when he was appointed on June 18, last year, with the mandate to sanitise and stabilise the institution. He thanked the Almighty for the relative peace achieved on campus during his brief stay as the university helmsman, Awobuluyi added that such achievements would not have been possible without the cooperation of members of the university community. Expressing gratitude to the management, the workers and students unions for their support, he solicited more cooperation for Mimiko’s administration. Members of the university community who were elated at the appointment of Mimiko, said he was familiar with the terrain of the university. The new Vice-Chancellor (Mimiko), according to them, has the leadership qualities, local and international connections to make the university a first-class institution in line with the aspirations and vision of the founding fathers. They admonished Mimiko, who was on a sabbatical leave at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) before his appointment, to abhor indiscipline and lateness to university functions, shun rumour mongering, undue political intervention as well as relate to every segment of the university as important in the system. Responding, Mimiko praised the Acting Vice-Chancellor (Awobuluyi) for discharging his responsibilities more creditably and the management for the warm reception accorded him. The new Vice-Chancellor, who pledged to run an open administration, said it was his ultimate goal to make the university, which was rated the eight best university few years ago, the best in the country. Mimiko insisted that the welfare of members of staff and students would be paramount to his administration, even as he  assured them of peaceful co-existence. Soliciting for the support of all stakeholders to build a university of the 21st Century, whose products would not be mere job-seekers, but job-creators who are equipped with innovative and creative skills.
Mimiko, who noted that his administration would embrace dialogue with all sections of the university community, especially the workers unions, said such move had become imperative to avert crises situations that could draw back the progress of the university.
The Vice-Chancellor, who was the former Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Acting Vice-Chancellor of the university, assured them that he would build on the success of his predecessors. On his vision for the ivory tower, Mimiko told members of the university community at the well-attended session of his administration’s commitment to fairness, use of committee system to achieve the best for the system and plans to embark on the development of staff quarters. The Vice-Chancellor also met with principal officers of the university, professors, workers and students unions, where he solicited for their support to move the university forward. In another development, it was praise galore for Awobuluyi, the Acting Vice-Chancellor at the handing over ceremony, held at the Council Chamber, where the management lauded him for his landmark achievements within the short period of his administration. They described him “as a stickler for time, a leader per excellence, a man of integrity and forthright administrator, a first class academic and a distinguished professor of indelible character.

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) will be churning out 75 First Class graduates at its 27th convocation coming up next Wednesday and Thursday, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Tolu Odugbemi, has said. Addressing journalists during a press briefing held at the university Senate building on Tuesday, Odugbemi said a total of 4, 776 graduating students who have successfully completed their courses during their 2008/2009 academic session, will receive their degrees, diplomas and certificates this year. Leading the pack of departments with First Class holders is the Faculty of Engineering which recorded 35. Odugbemi lauded the faculty which also topped the list last year with 32 First Class graduates. The numbers of graduates per faculty are as follows: Arts, 181; Business Administration, 414; Education, Engineering 543; Environmental Sciences 226; Law, 204; Pharmacy 88; Science 330; College of Medicine 209; and the Distance Learning Institute (DLI) 1,740.

Odugbemi thanked members of staff for the modest achievements recorded under his administration attributing the feat to teamwork. Among the achievements, he said, is the expansion of the former Office of Alumni and Endowment which was renamed the Office of Advancement to encourage greater performance of alumni activities and endowment, and the establishment of a platform to manage foreign linkages. He said: “This administration has also established an office known as Office of International Relations, Partnership and Prospects to open up more international windows. The establishment of this office has yielded greater results in terms of international linkages, partnership as well as providing greater international visibility for the university. We have signed staff and students exchange agreements with Central Michigan University (USA) Hogskolan Dalarma University (Sweden), DUN Group De Recherche International (France), The University Charles-Louise De Montesquieu D’Abidjan (Cote D’ivoire) and Confucius Institute (China)” Responding to questions on why the ban on Student Union activism has not yet been lifted, Odugbemi said efforts are ongoing to resuscitate the SUG. He nonetheless added that the university is leaving no stone unturned in grooming its students via series of orientation programmes both within and outside the country in a bid to make them ready materials for the nation. “We are making efforts. We’ve already embarked on it (student unionism). But we do not want to rush things without giving proper orientation to our students. We are at present giving them reorientation from their faculty up to departmental level to make sure our students are the very future that will make Nigeria proud. We are now in a global village. We want to send delegates to other countries to learn what they are doing there while bringing in students down here and teach them what we have,” he said. Earlier, journalists were taken on a tour of some completed and ongoing projects initiated by Odugbemi including the UBA recreation park, refurbished education auditorium and the ETS Building at the Faculty of Social Sciences. Other projects include LG Laboratory Building at the Faculty of Business Administration, Control Research laboratory courtesy the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministry as well as three car parks. The occasion also climaxed with the official launch of the Wireless metropolitan Area Network which links the university three campuses at Akoka, Idi-Araba and Yaba.

Determined to set the pace in quality university education delivery, owners of the Salem University, a private institution located in Lokoja, Kogi State, have unfolded academic plans that will accelerate the growth of the university and position it for the challenges of the 21st Century. Tagged: “The Transformational Academics Revolution Mandate,” the academic plan is aimed at producing skilled personnels for the industrial sector development. Its Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Omojo Omaji, disclosed this during the orientation programme organised for the second batch of fresh students admitted into the university for the 2009/2010 academic session. According to him, the mission of the founding fathers of the university was to challenge the academic frontiers of its students by taking them away from mere cramming to pass examinations to the level of imparting knowledge and practical skills that will equip them as nation builders. Omaji stressed that the university would produce graduates who will combine intelligence with integrity; saying any graduates from the institution will be sound in spirit, mind and body, to create wealth and making outstanding impact globally. His words: “The mandate of the university is to focus on empowering students to be global leaders through promoting their individual inherent abilities and enhance their practical skills as well as creating room for creative learning and cutting-edge research that are targeted at proffering solutions to specific human needs.” The Vice-Chancellor said it is part of the university’s mandate and policy not only to teach students what to do, but how to create wealth for the nation by practically doing those things to solve human problems. Omaji said: “The primary focus of university curriculum is about raising global leaders who are simply agents of change. Such leaders will not merely settle for the average, but strive for distinctive achievements in the area of their callings. They will not be saturated with complacency, but shall stir up compassion for change and results.” On the quality of its graduates, the Vice-Chancellor noted that the university has cultivated a niche for itself on the culture of job and wealth creation through entrepreneurship and private enterprise aimed at producing a new generation of global leaders, who are schooled in the art and science of conflict prevention and management. He said the university products will seek to facilitate the emergence of a generation of leaders, who combined Christian family values and excellent work ethics with a generation of innovators and leaders in the on-going scientific revolution. The Vice-Chancellor expalined: “To achieve these laudable goals, we incorporated the Total Leadership Training Concept (TLTC), under the Chaplaincy- which articulates and coordinates seminars, workshops, motivational messages and spiritual guidance and counseling to nurture the character of our global leaders, as the students are called.” Since its take off  in January, last year, for the 2008/2009 session, the university, according to him, has hosted many national and international leadership lectures on the Entrepreneurship Development. The talk-shops, which had guest speakers from the United States, Australia and Nigeria, is to expose our students to international standards.
