why students don’t read: We will show you reasons why Most Nigerian Students Don’t read. why students don't read Today we are going to discuss the reasons why most students don’t read despite knowing that reading is essential if they want to pass their exams. Below are some of the reasons why most students don’t read; 1. Their work schedule doesn’t allow extensive time for reading; Some students claim that their work schedule is keeping them busy to the extent that they don’t have time to read especially those that combine schooling with hustling. This is very wrong because, reading should be their priority as students. If you are one of those that believe they are too busy to read, change today. You can re schedule your activities to fit in reading. You can create a personal time table for yourself. And make sure you are strict to the time table. 2 Lack of interest; This is one of the common reasons why students don’t read. Lack of interest arouse when a student is no longer enthu...

Meet the Man who invented Exam and his Reason for the Invention

Image
Exams can be really annoying right? Have you been wondering who actually invented this examination? We present to you Henry Fischel, the Professor who Invented Exams. He invented examinations According to historical reports, he invented examinations to test his students academically during the 19th Century. When he was a professor at the University of Indiana, he always saw lenient students who believed that after the end of the year, they will pass to the next class without evaluation. He wanted to know whether what the students were taught was a mere waste of executive time. Also, he yearned to recognize whether the students are studying properly or not. These concerns were the justifications why he concluded to formulate an exam to review his students’ aptitude. Meanwhile, we can deduce that he did the best thing. Nowadays, students are wondering why they have to write exams, read, memorize, and in the same vein, rewrite what they have read in a book. Most students are tired of the ...

BUHARI DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT POOR RANKING OF NIGERIAM VARSITIES — TETFUND The Executive secretary, Tertiary Education Trust Fund(TETFund), Professor Suleiman Bogoro has said that the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, is deeply concerned about the poor ranking of Nigerian Universities. Webometrics latest global (July) ranking placed the best Nigerian University, the University of Ibadan as the 1196th best University in the world, followed by Covenant University Ota which came 1314th university in the world. However, Bogoro, while speaking at a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of TETFund in Abuja, reeled out some key areas of intervention funds allocated to the beneficiary institutions, which were aimed at upgrading them to world class institutions. Aside from the normal interventions, TETFund has, under the High Impact Projects, invested over N109 billion in public universities, polytechnics and Colleges of Education to support their emergence as centres of excellence. The Fund has also constructed multi-media teaching laboratories in 58 federal and state Colleges of Education with the rehabilitation and equipment of laboratories in 51 federal and state polytechnics as part of its commitment to making tertiary institutions in Nigeria become globally competitive in teaching, learning, research and innovation. The Executive Secretary noted that the funds allocated were aimed at enabling the tertiary institutions become world-class institutions, thereby improving on their global ranking, a situation he said was of deep concern to President Buhari who is determined to reverse the trend. Speaking on the efforts to make Nigerian tertiary institutions globally competitive, Bogoro said: “TETFund has also been providing support for teaching practice in federal and state colleges of education across the country. “So far, the Fund has supported over 71,263 lecturers under its Teachers’ Supervision Programme. “Considering the vital role that libraries play in educational institutions, TETFund has also allocated substantial funds to public federal and state tertiary institutions for the acquisition of library books, e-library resources and academic manuscript development to books in order to promote and support research, teaching and learning. “So far, the Fund has procured over 2,080,041 books for use in the libraries, 152,844 e-resources and 380,778 equipment as well as furniture were distributed across public tertiary institutions in Nigeria. “I am pleased to inform you that the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, and President Muhammadu Buhari have approved that TETFund should complete the National Library which symbolises institutional repository of knowledge and research globally.” “In 2011, the Fund launched the National Research Fund (NRF) with a seed fund of N3b as its take-off grant to support cutting edge research in areas of critical national need and development; and in 2015, N1b was added. Following the approval of TETFund Board of Trustees in 2019, the NRF allocation became annual and N5b was approved for that year. “In 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari approved additional 50 per cent increase in allocation to the NRF, being N7.5b for that year and N8.5b in 2021. “So far, a total sum of N9b has been accessed by lecturers to finance their research activities. A total of 457 research projects have been approved across the country, some have been completed while some are still ongoing. “Apart from the above intervention mentioned, the Fund also allocates funds on an annual basis to support Academic Research Journals and institution Based Research (IBR) for research projects that are not more than N2Million per project across public tertiary institutions. “So far, about 2,175 projects have been approved for Institution Based Research and 342 Academic Research Journal projects were undertaken between 2011 and 2021,” he stated.

DELSU STUDENTS ACCUSE VC, BURSAR OF EXTORTION Delta University Students Accuse Vice-Chancellor, Bursar Of Extortion, Collecting N4,000 Each For Magazine they never received. The students of Delta State University Abraka, have accused their vice-chancellor, Andy Egwunyenga, and the bursar, Justice Egbare of extortion. According to the students, the alleged extortion has been going for almost 2 years. The students disclosed that every 100 level student or fresher is forced to pay N4,000 and the students do clearance after graduation for schools magazine- DELSU@25- which they never get. According to the students, the alleged extortion has been going on for almost two years. The students alleged that 100 level students or freshers are compelled and students doing clearance after graduation are compelled to pay N4,000 for the school’s magazine –DELSU @ 25– which they never get. Speaking to newsmen, a new student of the Delta State University, Oleh campus, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, disclosed that in March 2021, he and other new students were compulsorily made to pay N4,000 for the school’s magazine, known as ‘DELSU @ 25’ which was not given to them. The student said, “As we talk, the magazine is moribund but still the VC and the bursar forced new intakes to pay the N4,000 each for the same moribund magazine, ‘Delta @ 25’ that we don’t see till we graduate. Even those doing clearance after graduation are made to pay this N4,000. “That is, if you escaped it at your 100 level registration. Others and I paid the N4,000 in March this year during my 100 level registration and while others paid theirs in February this year into the school’s Unity Bank account after which you go and convert the payment into DELSU receipt which I just gave to you now.” Another student in 200 level, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the payment of the N4,000 for the school’s magazine. The student said the magazine had not been given to her till date, describing the act as “a serious fraud going on unnoticed in the institution, especially in the bursary department headed by Egbare”. “The school magazine, ‘Delta @ 25’ has been rested for some time now following some disagreements between the Vice-Chancellor and those in charge of the magazine publication because it was given out as a contract. But even as the magazine has been rested, the VC and the bursar still collect N4,000 each from new students who don’t get to sight a copy of the magazine which they have paid for. This is a serious fraud against the students. This fraud is committed yearly,” the student said. A graduate of the school who is currently doing his clearance at the institution in Abraka, displayed a document showing a payment of N4,000 made in favour of the institution. He said the sum of N4,000 was allegedly extorted from him by the school’s authority on Tuesday, December 2, 2021 when he went for his clearance in Abraka. “The magazine was not given to me,” he noted. “This is a draft showing payment I made in favour of the school at the bursary department. You can see in the draft, a total sum of N29,000 was paid, N4,000 was for the institution’s magazine called ‘DELSU @ 25’ that we don’t ever see, N15,000 was paid for a certificate while N10,000 was for the penalty for late clearance for collection of the certificate as shown in the draft. “Students are being made to pay this N4,000 every session for a magazine they don’t see till eternity. Graduates doing clearance are also forced to pay this N4,000 for the same magazine that is not in existence. Is that not fraud and a corrupt practice? This is how the VC and the bursar have continued to extort innocent students yearly,” the student said. New students and graduates of the institution have however cried out to the state governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the general public to prevail on the VC and the bursar to stop the alleged extortion and refund all the money so far allegedly extorted from them. Speaking with SaharaReporters on the issue, an official of TONDEK Agency, the firm publishing the institution’s magazine, ‘DELSU @ 25’, Anthony Arugba, described the N4,000 payment for the institution’s magazine by the students as a ‘monumental fraud’ going on in the school. Arugba said, “’DELSU @ 25’ publication is a contract from the institution but solely initiated and financed by TONDEK Agency with a life span of five years. However, shortly after the Vice-Chancellor, Andy Egwunyenga took over, he willfully breached the terms of the MoU, and when his opinion was sought on the issue, he boasted that he owed nobody an apology and that whatever agreement reached by his predecessor, died with the man that initiated the agreement, irrespective of the fact that the agreement was reached between the Agency and the University. “As of this day, Egwunyenga has blatantly refused to acknowledge every effort Tondek has made to reconcile the account with the university. “It is even strange that Egwunyenga who openly described the anniversary magazine as ‘useless and outdated’, has continued to connive with the school’s bursar, Justice Egbare, to extort the sum of N4,000 each for the magazine from new students, those doing clearance after graduation, as well as those applying for certificates. “What even makes the whole action somewhat fraudulent is that apart from his sheer refusal to remit Tondek’s share of the proceeds, a number of new students who paid for the magazine, particularly in Oleh campus of the university, were never issued the magazines till date. Therefore, what he has done could be likened to obtaining under false pretences. Does such action by Egwunyenga amount to honesty or fraud? Your guess is as good as mine!”

```“FG is blackmailing Us,” says ASUU as they postpone the decision on strike``` The Academic Staff Union of Universities has postponed its decision on strike, saying that consultations are still ongoing. This was contained in a press statement issued by the union after its National Executive Council meeting. The meeting held at its Festus Iyayi National Secretariat, University of Abuja, on Saturday, December 18, 2021 to review the level of government’s implementation of the FGN-ASUU Memorandum of Action of December 23, 2020 and other related matters. In the press statement titled, ‘Enough of blackmail’, signed by ASUU president, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, the lecturers regretted that the Federal Government had turned its back on the plan to set up an inter-ministerial committee to review the draft Renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement. Part of the statement read, “NEC was worried by the spirited efforts of government agents to reduce the demands of ASUU to a regime of intermittent payment of watered-down revitalisation fund and release of distorted and grossly devalued Earned Academic Allowances. “ASUU shall not relent in demanding improvement in the welfare and conditions of service of our members. However, we shall resist any attempt to blackmail the union and derail our patriotic struggle for a productive university system by official propaganda founded on tokenism and crumb-sharing. “NEC concluded that government has failed to satisfactorily address all the issues raised in the 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement and subsequent MoUs and MoAs. “However, considering the ongoing intervention and consultation efforts, NEC resolved to review the situation at a later date with a view to deciding on the next line of action.”

JAMB URGE'S CANDIDATES TO GET NIN AHEAD OF 2022 UTME The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) through its weekly bulletin has urged all prospective candidates for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) to acquire their National Identification Numbers (NIN) ahead of the exercise. JAMB said that it would soon start the sale of application documents and registration for the 2022 UTME and Direct Entry(DE). “The board, is at the moment, engaging its core functionaries in a series of intensive training to ensure that once the date is announced, the stage would have been set for yet another hitch-free exercise. “The release of this information is in line with the board’s firm determination to ensure that candidates who are desirous of enrolling are ready and prepared. “Similarly, it is expected to serve as a wake-up call to all who may want to register, to first obtain their NIN, a major prerequisite for the UTME registration. “For those who may want to obtain any of the two application documents, they are advised to get their NIN and also familiarise themselves with the board’s Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS). “It will give them an idea of the course requirements and the syllabus they are expected to cover for the examination,” the board said. According to JAMB, IBASS is on the board’s website and can also be downloaded on Google Playstore and other similar platforms. The board said that the next step was for candidates to create their profiles by sending their NIN to 55019 to create a profile for registration. JAMB added that it had put adequate measures in place to checkmate those who might want to cheat. It said that it had also strengthened all administrative procedures for the smooth prosecution of any candidate, centre or staff of JAMB found to have been involved in an infraction. (NAN)

```~I was determined to set a new record in my department – Komolafe, AAUA best graduate~``` . In this interview with Punch reporter, Komolafe Olorunwa, Adekunle Ajasin University’s best graduate from the Department of Science Education with a 4.74 CGPA talks about his success. Graduating with a first-class degree is no mean feat; would you describe that as your happiest moment in school? Yes, (it was); that moment when I was announced as the overall best graduating student of my set and called to give the valedictory speech. That was a moment I won’t forget, especially remembering what I went through to make that dream a reality. After delivering the valedictory speech, my parents jumped up happily where they were and rushed forward to meet me. The extent of their joy was noticeable and it seemed like they were on top of the world because of me. They were evidently overjoyed. I guess it’s the dream of any child to make their parents happy, and I’m so happy I did that for mine. It was all a beautiful experience. Did it come to you as a surprise that you emerged as the overall best in your set or did you know that all along? Actually, I knew that I would graduate with a first-class degree, judging from my performance, but emerging as the overall best graduating student of my set came as a surprise to me, and I thank God for that. I aimed for it and God made it possible. It was not easy but at the same time it wasn’t too difficult, especially if you are focused and determined. When you are determined on getting something, nothing becomes too difficult in achieving your goals. You could say I worked hard and God crowned my effort. In fact, when I told my mum about it, she started singing praises to God. Did they know you were an exceptional student all along? They knew because I used to update them about my result and they always prayed for me. So, like myself, they knew graduating with a first-class was likely but they didn’t see it coming that I would be the best in my set. You mentioned that you had some challenges as an undergraduate. What were those challenges? I had serious financial challenges. I had to organise tutorials for some students and I used to go and teach them at home. I also took up a part-time work in a private school just to fend for myself. There were other challenges even in leading my class as the class representative, but thank God it wasn’t all a waste. I have something tangible to show for those efforts and the sacrifices I made. Does it mean you didn’t have much free time? I didn’t have much free time, but whenever there was an opportunity to have fun, I ensured that I made maximum use of such because it wasn’t something that came regularly. Those other things I did to raise money for my education took a large part of my free time but I still had some time to do other things. I was involved in some social and sporting activities. For example, I was a two-time honourable member of the Students’ Representative Council of the National Universities Education Students’ Association. At a time, I was the Caucus Leader for my department (Science Education) in the NUESA SRC House of Parliament. Given the many things you were doing at the same time; academic work, school politics, sports and of course being a private tutor and working in a private school, what was your typical day like as an undergraduate? Every morning, provided I didn’t have early morning lecture, I tried to eat before going to school, especially because I didn’t have free money to spend on buying junks. I would go to the classroom from home and attend to other necessary things in school, like meetings, if any. On my return home, I would go for evening tutorials and then return to my room to rest. I always believe in having enough sleep because by doing so, you would have enough time to rest your brain. I never went for night classes; I believed I could always read at home and rest when it was time for that. Also, I wasn’t the type to have a reading schedule; I read anytime it was convenient and necessary. I believe students should stick to what works for them and not try to copy others. Some students prefer to use the library and it helps them but I hardly went there. Rather, I took advantage of the volume of materials online. I would say I’m more disposed to electronic resources than printed materials. And I surmise that if students could explore the materials online, it would be better for them. It’s common now for some employers to say some graduates are not employable due to the absence of some skills and things as basic as communicating fluently in English. As someone who studied education, should we blame the teachers or the students? I believe that elementary education has a lot to do with fluency when it comes to good communication skills. However, even when the foundation is not so strong, the students can always do their best by learning more and developing themselves. As a graduate of science education, why do you think students fail? I believe students fail because of lack of right attitude, especially towards their education. If students should cultivate the right attitude towards their education, they would surely excel. I believe that the choices we make as individuals shape the outcomes of our endeavours, so if we know what we want, we are a step closer to achieving it. But, if there is no clear destination or expectation, anything that comes would be good enough, and that may not end well. Have you always wanted to study science education or you simply embraced what you were offered? As a child, I wanted to become a medical doctor. That was central to the aspirations of many of us as children. But, over time, things changed. It was never my intention to study any educational course but I had to settle for what the school offered me, and I did that in good faith. I didn’t want to stay at home any longer then, so I felt I should accept the course I was given and maybe change the course along the line. But, over time, I fell in love with the course and didn’t even want to change it again. The course has a lot to do with adding value to people’s lives. We all passed through classrooms and I felt I could be a part of the process that educate future leaders, because the course is meant to prepare teachers that will handle science-related subjects at the upper basic school (Basic 7 to 9). To an extent, people look down on education courses and so some people may view your course as a second grade course. Were there times people almost made you feel inferior? It never happened. My belief is that we are all in different fields of study and what will make someone feel inferior is if they cannot defend their field while others are talking. Besides, I don’t think we should derive our conviction or courage from what people say. It should come from within; else, we would be easily manipulated. I love the course and I’m proud of my choices. Despite the fact that I didn’t choose the course myself, I developed interest in it, deliberately so, and it was from my first year that I started getting exceptional results. In my first year, I had A’s in almost all my courses. I had one or two B’s and C’s. What role did the schools you previously attended play in your performance in university? I always performed well in those schools and I was always among the best, both in my elementary and secondary schools. I sat the West African Senior School Certificate Examination three times and I took the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination twice. Although, I passed the UTME the two times I took the exam, it wasn’t easy having my complete O level result. However, I knew that I had to put in more efforts in the university and I’m glad it paid off. Were you told stories by anyone about how difficult it could be to graduate with a first-class degree? Yes, and it was in my first year. I was told that there had never been a first-class graduate from my unit. That served as a challenge to me and I was determined to break the record and set a new one. By the grace of God, I was able to do so. Would you say you did anything differently from others to graduate with a first-class degree? Yes, a lot of things. But the main thing was that my commitment to my education always came first, and that was helpful. And despite that, I played when there was time for it and when it was time to study, I did it with all my might. In fact, to some people, I never appeared like a very serious-minded person. Where would you like to work? I would definitely love to teach because that is what I have been trained to do and I’m proud of teaching. But then, I would not rule out the possibilities of working elsewhere. What are your aspirations? My aspiration is to be successful in life and I believe that my future is very bright by God’s grace.

```This is dream killer: Reactions as 28 Students Fail all 3 Medical Courses Seen in UNN Main Exam Result Sheet.``` The University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) medical students have seen their main results and the outcome isn’t funny as a total of 28 students failed all three professional courses. The result sheet shared on Facebook originates from the Department of Medical Rehabilitation. In what appears to be a longer list, the 40 students recorded significant failures in 3 courses which are Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, and Physiology. An analysis of the result shows that at least 28 students all failed in the courses. In Physiology, only 5 students managed to scale the pass mark while 5 were absent on the examination date and 2 others had their results withheld. Efforts to get the reactions from the Dean of the faculty proved abortive as he directed our reporter to the school PRO. Nigerians on social media are reacting to the document in shock and disbelieve. Amaechi Ipeh: “They used to pride themselves in that school on having a high failure rate. The sadomasochistic logic is a rationalization of failure as proof of tough academic standards. I saw it firsthand in undergraduate days in the institution. A lot of lives were blighted and practically destroyed.” Abdul-Lateef Biola Abdul-Ganiyy wrote: “For Nigeria schools, the only way to make up for their lack of advanced pragmatic knowledge is to embellish the archaic outdated curriculum with resounding failure rate. It’s the oxygen that keeps their ego alive.” Abdul Oroh wrote: “Students are expected by teachers and parents to earn their grades. I think it goes both ways. I don’t think teachers who are perpetually on strike while the students while away time on yahoo business should be blamed. Parents and of course the government should also be blamed.”

```“I struggled with Finishing School” — Fireboy DM``` Fireboy DML, the Nigerian singer, and songwriter has disclosed that he struggled with finishing school. Fireboy stated that when he was studying at Obafemi Awolowo University, he was a great student divided between his academics and music so it caused a sharp decline in his studies. He said this in an interview with Media Personality, Chude Jideonwo. According to Fireboy, he had an extra year due to a lack of adequate planning and time management, which caused him to fall behind in his academics. In his words: “Finishing school was a struggle. It was a tough time for me. I had an extra year but I finished. To be honest I just couldn’t wait to finish school because I knew that after school like this I wasn’t going back home. I was going straight to Lagos. “There was a time my dad came to my school. Oh God! Final year and your dad came to school. It was as if I was in secondary school and he was holding my hand like let’s go to your lecturer’s office. It was really embarrassing and those were really tough times for me.”

```21-year-old Diploma Holder Jumps Into Lagos Lagoon, Leaves Message For His 1-year Old Baby``` A 21-year-old man by the name of Odunare Olalekan in Lagos state jumped into the lagoon in the Epe axis of Lagos in an attempt to commit suicide. This ugly incident took place on Tuesday morning, December 14, 2021, after family members tried to stop Olalekan from leaving the house. The diploma holder who until the incident worked in an estate in the area, told his girlfriend to take good care of their 1-year-old baby before heading to the lagoon. The young man was seen in a viral video sitting on the railings of the bridge, and later jumped in the water around Berger Bridge, Epe. It was gathered that he left home, his family members tried to stop him after he strangely told them that he was going without explaining what he actually meant. As disclosed by a family source who disclosed that, Olalekan, being physically powerful, overpowered all who tried to stop him from leaving home as they feared he was headed for doom. The source said, “For some time now, Olalekan has been acting strangely. For more than a week, he could not sleep. He just woke up yesterday to say he was going. They asked him, ‘going where?’. “They tried to hold him but he overpowered the people around because he was very powerful, maybe it was a spiritual attack. We could not ascertain that. He just woke up and said he was going and that they should pray for him. “They held him but he overpowered them and went straight to his girlfriend’s house to tell her to take care of his child because they might not see each other again.” Upon seeing the said video of how Olalekan took his own life, the elder brother alerted his father. The source added, “He told their father that they should not bother looking for Lekan because he saw him on Berger bridge as he jumped into the lagoon and he must have died.” When asked as to why the man who recorded the viral video did not make an attempt to save Olalekan, the source said, ” The guy was far away from him. He was about to hold him when he jumped inside the river. Nobody could hold him there except somebody who can swim.”

```JSS1 Student Sues Teachers & Ekiti Govt, Court dismisses case.``` The case of a JSS1 student who was scolded for indecent dressing has been dismissed. The student had sued the principal and ekiti government for alleged violation of her fundamental rights. The Ado Ekiti Division of the State High Court on Wednesday dismissed a suit instituted by a nine-year-old Junior Secondary School 1 student of Mary Immaculate Girls Grammar School, Ado Ekiti, filed by her mother. Respondents in the suit are the School Principal, Oluwasanmi Funmilayo, Ekiti Commissioner of Education, Ekiti Teaching Service Commission, and the Government. Delivering judgement, Justice Lekan Ogunmoye, held that the applicant did not place before the court credible and sufficient evidence to convince it to grant her prayers. “It is also trite, that applications for the enforcement of fundamental rights are granted once the rights of the applicants are shown to have been breached or threatened. “This was not done in the instant case. “The sole issue for determination is hereby resolved against the claimants, the reliefs sought are hereby dismissed,’’ he said. Counsel to the applicant, Timileyin Omotoso among other reliefs sought a declaration that the physical, mental, violence, abuse, negligent treatment of the nine-year-old JSS 1 student was illegal and unconstitutional. He said it was a violation of his client’s fundamental right to the dignity of her person as guaranteed under section 34(1)(a) of the Constitution of Nigeria as amended and Article 5, of the African Charter accordingly. He also sought for an order directing the respondents to immediately lift the suspension placed on the applicant on May 19 in the school and reabsorb her to continue her education and learning forthwith”. Furthermore, he sought for an order directing the respondents to pay N15 million as general damages for the violation of her fundamental rights to education, dignity, fair hearing and the protection of the Child Right. Counsel for the respondents, S.B.J. Bamise, in his counter affidavit, described all averments in the Originating Summons, as not only untrue but total falsehood. According to one of the respondents, Funmilayo Oluwasanmi, the girl on May 19, went to the school with a weird, indecent and unapproved hairdo, in an attempt to correct and scold her, she shouted at her teacher, that it was her mother who made the hair for her birthday. Mrs Oluwasanmi said following her unruly behaviour, she was punished and given two strokes of cane and warned not to come to school with such hairdo again. He said during a meeting with the girl and her mother, she called her husband, Moses Igenoisa, a Police Officer, who stormed the school with five fully armed Policemen. “On their arrival, they beat up and harassed some school teachers. “They forced open the school gate and in the process, wounded the gateman,” he said.

```Looming strike: We’ll no longer rely on FG’s lies, says ASUU.``` Sokoto Zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has disclosed that they will be meeting on Saturday to, among other things, take a final decision on its proposed nationwide strike. asuu logo Jamilu Shehu, the ASUU-Sokoto zonal coordinator said this in Katsina on Wednesday at a press conference. ASUU Sokoto zone comprises five institutions, including the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua University, Katsina, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, Sokoto State University, Sokoto, and Federal University Dutsinma. The ASUU scribe warned the Federal Government not to drag the nation’s educational sector to dark days of strike actions, by urgently implementing the December 23, 2020, Memorandum of Action reached with the union. He declared, “We are, hence, calling for all the concerned parties to urgently address these issues in line with the spirit and letters of the December 2020 MoA and the intervention of the Speaker, House of Representatives, and others, or risk industrial action. “Also the union hereby calls on all patriotic Nigerians to prevail on the government to return to the path of honour by concluding the MoA it agreed to implement. “Both the federal and state governments should be impressed upon to accord the educational sector the attention it deserves because that is the only, and of course surest way, that we can truly develop as a nation.” Shehu identified outstanding issues to be resolved to also include, lack of full implementation of funding for the revitalization of public universities, and payment and mainstreaming of Earned Academic Allowances. Others, according to him, are the implementation of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution, and inconsistencies in Salary Payment with the Integrated Personnel Payroll System. He added that ASUU and the Federal Government had concluded the renegotiation exercise, and had come up with a draft document, alleging that the government team was delaying making further recommendations on the draft. “In view of the foregoing, therefore, ASUU would no longer rely on lies and pledges of the implementation of the 23rd December 2020 MoA by the government,” Shehu maintained.
