Students in Kano protest mass UTME failure

Kano – Hundreds of students, who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on Monday in Kano staged a peaceful demonstration against  mass failure and withholding of their results.
The students stormed the premises of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria  in Kano on motorcycles around noon and carried placards and green leaves to show their anger.
Spokesman for the candidates, Haruna Maidabam, described the withholding of their results as a deliberate attempt to deny them the opportunity to further their studies.
According to him, more than 10, 000 students who sat for the examination in Kano metropolis have yet to access their results.
Maidabam said when the results were released last week, they went to the zonal office of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in Kano (JAMB) to complain  but were directed to go and repeat the thumb printing for verification.
‘’There is no reason for any verification of thumb- print,’’ he said.
He called on the authorities concerned to do something urgently to address their predicament.
When contacted, the JAMB Zonal Coordinator, Hajiya Karimatu Abubakar, described the incident as unfortunate and attributed it to “some technical hitches”.
Abubakar said as soon as the hitches were rectified, the issue would be resolved.

Polytechnic students threaten nationwide protests

Abuja-The National Association of Polytechnic Students, NAPS, has threatened to mobilise students for protests in campuses nationwide within the next two weeks if the Federal Government fail to resolve its differences with their striking lecturers.
Polytechnic lecturers, under the aegis of Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic, ASUP, are currently on strike to compel government to implement agreements it had with their union.
NAP National President, Fawale Oluwole Jacob, who issued the threat in a statement, also appealed to ASUP not to be too severe in its demands on government, even as he urged the Federal Government to address the lecturers’ demands.
According to him, “If the strike is not called off within two weeks, they will have to mobilise for peaceful mass rallies and campus protests to demand for urgent attention.
“We call on all Nigerian students to participate actively in this movement to rescue our future. The emphasis is on peaceful protests and rallies while refusing to be intimidated.
“While we are yet to understand why we suffer in the midst of plenty considering the fact that Nigeria is among the top ten producers of crude oil in the world, we cannot further accept the inability of our lazy leaders to think outside the box and realise that ‘’education is power.”

UNIZIK seeks NUC’s approval to admit more students.

July 19, 2012
By Chibson Chukwu-
Nnamdi Azikiwe University,
Awka has applied to the National
Universities Commission, NUC, for
approval to admit about 9,000 fresh
students in the next academic
session. Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof
Boniface Egboka, at a briefing
described as pitiable, a situation
where out of over 80,000 candidates
who participated in the post-UTME and
were qualified to gain admission, only about 3,700 would be admitted. According to him, the institution had
been following strictly the admission
guidelines of 60:40 for science and
arts courses as directed by the Federal
Government, as well as the stipulated
percentages for merit, catchment and disadvantaged areas, but insisted
that there was need to give the youths
who desire tertiary education more
opportunities. Using the faculties of medicine and
law as examples, Egboka said out of
the 2,000 candidates that scored up to
291 in the matriculation examination
and were qualified to study medicine
and surgery, only 100 would make it, while only 180 students would be
admitted for law out of 3000 that
scored above 280.
