Students Of Osun State Secondary School Protest Against Tax Imposition On Their Parents (Photos)

The students of Osun State secondary school this morning took to the streets to protest alleged imposition of tax on their parents. 


The students are already marching towards Abere, Governors office from Osogbo High School, opposite the Government House.

What I don’t understand is whether it is the civil servants in the states or it includes the non working parents.

He stated that he had already joined the Black Axe fraternity in Lagos before gaining admission into UNIPORT to study marketing in 2011.
“I was caught with this axe while traveling from UNIPORT to Umuahia. The axe is a battle axe for cultists. I won’t deny it, I’m a cultist but I was taking this axe home to bury it because I had graduated.
“I have not killed anybody before. The reason I joined them was was not to kill anybody. I joined cultism just for the prestige and fear. I belong to Black Axe. It was way back in Lagos that I joined before I gained admission into UNIPORT in 2011,” he said.

Lecturer Caught Pants Down With Married Woman In Asaba

A randy senior lecturer at the Federal College of Education, Asaba, Delta State, one Mr Simeon (surname withheld) was at the weekend allegedly caught pants down with a married woman in one of the hotels along Abraka road, Asaba.

It was gathered that the lecturer escaped amidst a crowd of people who thronged into the hotel to catch a glimpse of the unfolding drama when relations of the woman’s husband allegedly caught her dressing up outside the hotel room and called the husband who immediately mobilised persons to the hotel.

It was further learnt that the bubble burst when the lecturer, who taught the woman while she was a student in the school, sent a love text message to her GSM phone, and was read by the husband who mobilised secretly to monitor her activities.

The woman, identified as Winifred, (surname withheld) while she was being beaten, confessed to the act but was rescued by the policemen at the ‘B’ Division Asaba who were called to the scene of the crime.

Police officers, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said the woman’s clothes were already torn before their arrival, adding that upon interrogation, she said it was the devil’s work.

Meanwhile, the husband, Mr Moses (surname withheld) a senior staff of the state-owned newspaper company said he would send her packing.“It is over for my wife. The only saving grace is that the lecturer escaped,” he said.

Nothing Like #1.8million Phone calls - OAU student Leader

GREAT IFE STUDENT UNION LEADERS IS YET TO SUBMIT ANY BUDGET.

THE 1.8MILLION FROM SPACE

RE: STUDENTS UNION LEADERS BUDGET N 1.8m FOR PHONE CALLS
The attention of the Great Ife Students’ Union has been drawn to the malicious propaganda that has circulated the media as regards the 1.8 Million naira budgeted for phone calls for Students’ Union Officers in Obafemi Awolowo University.
The Great Ife Students’ Union which serves as a model to other students’ union will not watch and look as this incorrect information continues to perverse the mind of the Nigeria populace. It is extremely important to say that we are not new to this malicious and mud-slinging act and out rightly condemns the post on punch.
It is very laughable that propaganda came out at a time when the budget is yet to be presented, deliberated upon and debated at the level of the parliament. The parliament has fixed October 12, 2015 for the budget sitting. The clerk of the House, Hon Ogunkanmi Omotayo in his statement “I was utterly shocked to read the news, and sees it as a campaign of misrepresentation and calumny against the students’ union leaders. The parliament is yet to receive, let alone deliberated upon any budget whatsoever. Then where comes the 1.8 million news?”. The authentic report of the parliament can only be issued by the clerk and he is yet to be contacted.
We sincerely consider this falsehood as a reprisal attack from the authorities that felt affected by the rally, as the Students Union joined in the Anti-Corruption Campaign yesterday in Oshogbo by staging “An Aregbesola Must Pay Rally” where we demanded the unconditional payment of all Workers in Oshogbo and further issued a 14-days Ultimatum to the President of the Federation to appoint a minister of Education and further demanded the implementation of the 26% budgetary allocation as recommended by UNESCO. Prior to the mass rally, the Students’ Union already paid the sum of 1.6 million to bail out 85 indigent students who could not afford the fee and risk the losing the session.


It is instructive to know that the recent propaganda which is maliciously aimed at bringing the sacred image of the Students’ Union and University in the mud may not be disconnected from the yesterday’s Anti- Corruption Crusade and the incessant clamour of a better living condition of the Nigeria people.


The Students’ Union, Obafemi Awolowo University will not at any point in time derail from the basic principles of Independent Unionism which is based on transparency, accountability which are standing legacies left by the likes of Lanre Adeleke (Lanre Legacy), Adeola Soetan, Segun Okeowo, George Iwilade Afrika who laid his life for the Union.
We hereby re-affirm our commitment towards intellectual and radical campaign against corrupt and irresponsible leaders at the helm of affairs and will consistently push for a Nigeria where Education is considered as a Right and not a privilege
AMANDLA AWETU……… NOTHING SHALL DISCOURAGE US

Lecturers in Osu Protest Unpaid Salaries

Lecturers under the aegis of Council of Academic Staff Unions of Osun State Owned Tertiary Institutions stormed the Osun State House of Assembly to protest nonpayment of their salaries for the past eight months.

The lecturers, who had been on strike for the past three months were led by leaders of the body including Chairman, Lasisi Jimoh; Secretary Olusegun Lana and Public Relations Officer, Dotun Omisore.

The lecturers, who were armed with placards with various inscriptions, were chanting, ‘Save our Souls’, ‘Enough is Enough’, ‘Pay our Salaries’ and ‘We Reject Half Salaries’, sang anti-government songs.

They also rejected the plan of the state government to pay half salaries while saying they would not submit themselves to fresh screening directed by the government.

The irate lecturers said the plan of the state government to pay workers half salaries was shocking because the state had received its share of the bailout fund from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The letter was signed by the CASUOSTI Chairman, Lasisi Jimoh; secerayry, Olusegun Lana; Chairman Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic, Iree, Dotun Omisore; ASUP chairman, Esa Oke, Adesola Akande; COEASU Ila-Orangun Chairman, Segun Onifade and COEASU Ilesa Chairman, Oladele Ojo.

The Chief Whip of the House of Assembly, Mr. Folorunsho Bamisayemi, while addressing the protesters appealed to them to exercise patience, saying efforts were underway to ensure their demands were met.

However, the Speaker, Mr. Najeem Salam, after after spending some minutes with the protesters walked out on them.
The Secretary of the council, who spoke with our correspondent, said lecturers had been on strike for the past months without government seeking to negotiate with them.

Lana said, “We came to the House of Assembly to submit Save Our Souls letter. The protest went well until the Speaker walked out on us.
” The state government has not been remitting pension deductions from our salaries to our Pension Fund Administrators, this is against the law. The deductions are supposed to be remitted seven days after salaries are paid but this is not happening.”

Lana also stated that the institutions were understaffed and the few lecturers were overburdened despite not being paid for many months.

Emmanuel Akala Awarded $1.1Million To Study Novel Breast Cancer

Emmanuel O. Akala, Ph.D., director of the Center for Drug Research and Development, has been awarded a prestigious NIH/National Cancer Institute grant of $1,132,500 for three years to support innovative breast cancer research.

Dr. Akala also is professor of pharmaceutics in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the College of Pharmacy. The project title is “Novel Nanotechnology Platform for Breast Cancer Treatment.”

The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) over expression has been reported in 20%–25% of all breast cancers and is associated with a poor prognosis. The grant will assist Dr. Akala to develop multifunctional polymeric nanoparticles to test the hypothesis that tri-modal combination nanoparticles will prove more effective with less toxicity than current standard of care therapies for HER2-positive breast cancers. This nanotechnology platform for breast cancer treatment will, when completed, bring to bear the combined power of a chemotherapeutic agent, molecular targeted therapy and HSP90 inhibitor, to overcome HER2 breast cancer resistance with minimal toxicity.

A second grant is a collaboration between Dr. Akala and Dr. Oleg Bol'shakov of South Ural State University in Russia. The one-year, $110,000 grant will be funded by CRDF Global, an independent nonprofit organization that promotes international scientific and technical collaboration between international researchers. Dr. Bol’shakov is a former post-doctoral fellow who trained under Dr. Akala’s supervision.

Dr. Akala received his Bachelor of Pharmacy degree in 1980 from the University of Ife in Ile-Ife, Nigeria and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Manchester, England. He also served as a DAAD Research Fellow with the German Academic Exchange Program in1993, which gave him the opportunity to conduct research in Germany.He is a registered pharmacist in Nigeria, Utah, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Dr. Akala has made significant contributions to the College of Pharmacy and was honored as the 2013 Distinguished Faculty Member of the Year” by the Howard University School of Pharmacy Alumni Association.

FUNAAB To Admit 3500 Out Of 12,500 Candidates That Sat For 2015 Post-UTME

The management of the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has disclosed that the University will only admit 3,500 out of the 12,500 candidates that participated in the 2015 post-UTME screening exercise.
This was made known by the Director of Academic Planning, Professor Olukayode Akinyemi while commenting on the just concluded screening exercise.

He commended the efforts of the Federal Government in bench-marking the admission process, because it would allow many prospective students to have access to other levels of higher education such as the Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.

He stated that it was imperative for Universities to have their own bench-marks, to maintain high standards. He noted that there were still other ways of screening-out candidates with bad characters even though they might have met the basic academic requirements in the interest of the system.

Professor Akinyemi, however, advised candidates who could not be admitted into FUNAAB not to be discouraged as there were other institutions that could still admit them, because for now, FUNAAB could only admit about 3,500 applicants.

Uniport Students on Rampage Over Death of Student;Barricade UPTH (Photos)

Aggrieved University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT, students have chased away all the doctors and nurses at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital and locked up the hospital gate, barring movement in and out of the health facility.
The protesting students who came out in their numbers first barricaded the East-West road before moving straight to the University Hospital where they chased all the medical officials on call as a show of annoyance over the death of a Theatre Art student.
The students said the level of neglect of the students of the hospital was much as over 20 of its students have died in UPTH as a result of negligence.
The most recent of the death is that of a female final year student of Theater Art who died, Sunday night, in UPTH after doctors and nurses in the hospital allegedly refused to attended to her.


The aggrieved students complained that their students die on daily bases due to carelessness on the side of the doctors and nurses serving in the school owned hospital, UPTH.
The students regretted that even after the School Management collect medical fees from students that the school and the hospital still do not care about the health of the students of the institution.
The students said they want the management of the university to review the relationship between UPTH and the school which would enable students to know their stand when critical health issues occur.
One of the leaders of the protest, Miss Judith Oyila who is a final year student of Theatre Art said, “We are angry because we have lost another of our student again in UPTH, a 200 level student of Theatre Art.”
 
“She died because of neglect by the doctors and nurses in that hospital. How could it be that a student slumped and students rushed her to UPTH but the doctors left her for over six hours without treatment and the poor girl died.”
“We want the world to hear the injustice that we are facing here even in the hand of the doctors in our institution’s hospital. The doctors abandoned her without treatment.”
“They gave excuses that do not worth it: saying no bed to keep her, no fuel, no ambulance until she died. The Doctors forgot that we pay for health.”
“We want the government to sanction the school and UPTH for this, as well compel them to do a review of their policies as it concerns students health.”
Meanwhile, the development has stocked activities in the hospital, resulting to relocation of some of the patients at the emergency ward to outside hospitals.
Some of the patients in the wards have expressed fear that the development may result to strike by the doctors in UPTH.
They call on the government and the security agencies to wade into the situation to bring the issue under control.
When reached at press time, the Public Relations Officer of the University of Port Harcourt, Mr. Obinna Wodi said he was not disposed to make any comments until the school authority meets with the Students’ Union Government.
