UNIJOS-ASUU Condemns Ongoing Post-UTME Test, Calls For Cancellation

FRIDAY, 20 JULY 2013 2:27AM FROM FUNMI OJUROYE
THE Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Jos Branch, rose from its meeting yesterday, dissociating itself from the ongoing Post University Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test being conducted by the non-academic staff of the institution. ASUU also passed a vote of no confidence in the exercise and its outcome just as it condemned the exercise and called for its outright cancellation. 
  Reading the text stating their position, which was signed by ASUU UNIJOS Chairman, Dr. David Nansoh Jangkam and Secretary, Dr. Noel Wannang at a press conference Friday, Jangkam said that it amounted to a breach of university rules on examinations which vest the preparation and conduct of examinations the sole and sacred responsibility of academic staff. 
  He called on the university council and senate to rise up to its task of defending and preserving the academic integrity of the university system. 
  Jangkam noted that the union has strived to carry every sector of the University of Jos on board, adding that it appears that the administration lacks the will power to tell their “master” the truth possibly out of fear.
  He lamented that the conduct of the Post-UTME test would undermine the strike by ASUU, which would subsequently water down academic excellence and integrity as the academic staff are not involved.

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election. A very reliable  PDP national officer  confided in  The PUNCH that  Obasanjo also  gave  other conditions that the new leadership of the party must meet before he would have a change of mind.  They include the restructuring of the party as well as   the correction of the  anomalies relating to the removal of Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the national secretary of the PDP  and Bode Mustapha  as  national auditor in early...

Many Nigerians have since reacted in different ways to the private session which they had in the Wii hours of the night in the Big Brother Double Wahala house. Famous music producer, Don Jazzy also joined the bandwagon as he recently mocked the lovers for their special moment in the house.
