Anambra Emerges Overall Best In NECO One Week After Emerging Best In WAEC
Anambra State has again recorded first position among all the states in
the country whose candidates took the 2013 National Examination Council
(NECO). This disclosure was coming barely a week after the West African
Examinations Council (WAEC) statistics showed that Anambra State came
first among all the states in Nigeria whose students took the 2013 West
African Senior School Certificate Examination ( WASSCE).
It was gathered that besides being the overall best in the country, an indigene of the State, Agbasi Praise Chinemelum, with the Registration number of 424953GE emerged the best candidate in the NECO. Speaking on the development, the immediate past Commissioner for Education in the state, Dr. Uju Okeke, said it was another demonstration of the fruits from the huge investment of the former Governor of the State in education. The commissioner expressed confidence that the performance of the state would be better in the coming years, when the effects to return schools to their owners as well as other programmes put in place by the Peter Obi government began to manifest. Anambra State officer of NECO, Mr. John Tumba, has already congratulated the state government on the feat.

NUC To Integrate Autism Studies In University Curriculum
The National Universities Commission (NUC) on Thursday said it would include the study of Autism in its university curriculum.
Its Executive Secretary, Prof. Julius Okojie, said this at a one-day seminar organised by the commission in collaboration with Autism Care and Support Initiative (ACSI), an NGO in Abuja.
The theme of the seminar is ”The need for professional awareness and capacity building in the field of special education in Nigerian universities - a focus on autism.”
Okojie said autism should be viewed from a new perspective and beyond family because it was a national issue.
He said it was the responsibility of all to ensure care and management of the young and elderly in the society, especially those with special needs.
Okojie called on educators to devise means of making special education affordable and qualitative.
He explained further that the commission would convene a stakeholders meeting to chart a course for the effective management of autism.
Also, former Minister of Aviation, Dr Kema Chikwe, described NUC’s move as a “progressive idea to institutionalize the care of autism”.
Chikwe, said it was fundamental to train and have educated and experienced people to handle autism.
“If there is success in bringing autism issue into the curriculum, then the management of the disorder will be professional,” she noted. She also advised parents with autistic children to seek professional help in their upbringing and management.
Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer of the Initiative, Dr Julia Ejiogu, said there was a need for professional awareness and capacity building in the field of special education with a focus on autism.
Ejiogu said children with autism often faced many challenges and stigma because of lack of awareness on the brain disorder.
She said the collaboration with NUC to integrate the studies into universities curriculum would help graduates understand the needs of the children for effective learning.
In his address, the Director of Academic Standards in the NUC, Prof. Alhassan Bichi, said that awareness on autism and care was not fully absorbed.
Bichi said the NUC planned to develop a curriculum that would dwell on the clinical and social aspects of autism. (NAN)

“If there is success in bringing autism issue into the curriculum, then the management of the disorder will be professional,” she noted. She also advised parents with autistic children to seek professional help in their upbringing and management.
Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer of the Initiative, Dr Julia Ejiogu, said there was a need for professional awareness and capacity building in the field of special education with a focus on autism.
Ejiogu said children with autism often faced many challenges and stigma because of lack of awareness on the brain disorder.
She said the collaboration with NUC to integrate the studies into universities curriculum would help graduates understand the needs of the children for effective learning.
In his address, the Director of Academic Standards in the NUC, Prof. Alhassan Bichi, said that awareness on autism and care was not fully absorbed.
Bichi said the NUC planned to develop a curriculum that would dwell on the clinical and social aspects of autism. (NAN)

Don’t accredit varsities without counselling centres, Adeyemi tells NUC
Professor of Guidance and Counselling at the University of Ilorin
(UNILORIN), Adeyemi Idowu has recommended that the establishment of
Counseling and Human Development Centres (CHDC) should be a prerequisite
for institutional accreditation of universities by the National
Universities Commission (NUC).
Idowu, who is the Provost, Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo State, said this while delivering the 145th inaugural lecture of UNILORIN, entitled: “Raising the bar: The Counselor’s Mandate”.
He lamented that contrary to a government directive on the establishment of CHDC, several universities, both public and private, have not yielded to the order.
He warned that unless the issue of counselling is adequately addressed, there is the danger that Nigeria will, for a long time, continue to be a nation of unrealised hopes and unfulfilled promises.
Idowu said the refusal of full accreditation should equally be extended to Colleges of Education and Polytechnics that fail to establish the centres, which are meant to assist students in dealing with possible challenges that can affect their behaviour and psychological make-up while in school.

LASU: VC Embarrasses Shabbily Dressed Matriculants
Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University separated and embarrassed the
shabbily dressed freshers as the school matriculated matriculates 1,119
new students.
The students numbering over 70, were initially barred from entering the university’s new auditorium, venue of the matriculation which saw 1, 119 candidates matriculating of the 1,582 candidates offered provisional admission. After the procession of principal officers of the university into the auditorium, they were allowed in, but were asked to sit upstairs to separate them from students who were properly dressed.
In his opening remarks, Obafunwa, who asked the shabbily dressed freshers to stand for recognition said: “Before I begin with my address, if you all look up there, you will see some matriculants who didn’t dress well to today’s matriculation. Some are not on their matriculation gown, some put on slippers, others put on chains, necklaces, which does not speak well of a university student.
You can imagine you going for a job interview and you dress shabbily, you would already know the results. You would actually have disqualified yourself from the beginning. Separating them from their colleagues who dressed well to this occasion sends a lot of messages. Most importantly, it shows that the university never tolerates any form of indecent dressing and behaviour among students.”
The students who showed remorse, were however, pardoned and asked to take their seats, after pleas from the Chairman of LASU Parents Forum, and principal officers of the university.
According to breakdown of matriculants, Faculty of Arts, matriculated 126 students; Faculty of Management Sciences, 193; Faculty of Social Sciences, 194; Faculty of Science, 196; Faculty of Education, 89; Faculty of Law, 120; School of Communication, 27; College of Medicine (Physiology inclusive), 104; Faculty of Engineering, 63 and School of Transport matriculated 7 students.

ASUU Criticize Killing Of Lecturer
The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) Kaduna State chapter has
expressed concern over the killing of its colleague Malam Abubakar
Shehu.
Late Shehu who was a lecturer in the Physiology Department at the Kaduna state university was shot by armed men last month along Kaduna – Brinin Gwari Road according to a statement signed by the union chairman Dr. Sadiq Abubakar Abdu.
“It is very disheartening to note that even after the killing of Malam Abubakar and two other passengers on that fateful day, there is no single Police or Military checkpoint along the road apart from the one in Birnin Gwari town,’’ it said.
It stated that the killings in the state and country at large have become a source of worry and called on the Kaduna State government to synergize with federal authorities to establish a permanent Military and police presence on the said road.
The union also noted “the frightening and dangerous rates of unemployment especially among graduate in the country which led to the loss of about 19 lives at various recruitment centers organized by the Immigration service.”

UNIABUJA: All Aspirants and Students - Put your school in the spotlight
It's quite unfortunate the University of Abuja, the university that's
supposed to be the flagship university of the country is among the most
INACTIVE communities on the internet.
Information from the school is rarely posted on their official website and everything seems to be quite backward in the school.
Week in, week out, no single information is published to enlighten students or aspirants of the institution. This should change!
We have therefore created this thread to bring together all students and aspirants in the school so we can discuss what is currently happening in the school and how to bring the institution into the spotlight.
