Nigerian Student wins havard business School Award

Nneka Ezeigwe

According to a statement, published on the school’s official website, each year they ask students a simple question, taken from the lines of a poem by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Mary Oliver. The question read: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
The Guardian reports that Ezeigwe’s response was the best one and she won “The Portrait Project”.
She wrote: “‘Where are you from?’ is a question I struggle to answer. I pause when asked, and finally mumble a response that feels roughly accurate. Truth is: I’m part tourist, part native in many places. I’m frequently described as ‘lucky’ to have been exposed to many enviable experiences globally. I feel lucky, mostly, but a big part of me wishes I had the choice to grow up in the land of my birth (Nigeria), wishes I had the choice to attend high school and university with childhood friends, wishes I had the choice to start my career close to family.

“When you’re from the third world, if you’re lucky, staying home is rarely an option. You migrate to get a world-class education; you stay abroad to find the opportunities that set you up for the career success you desire. You leave loved ones behind, make new friends, lose touch with old ones and feel like a terrible daughter when you don’t make it home in time to call mum before she falls asleep, hours ahead and halfway across the world from you.
“This is why I want to spend my life contributing to the social and economic transformation of Africa. I want to grow companies and build institutions that give our children a true chance to let home be home. I want to see Africa become a destination that can nurture the ambition and success that I’ve travelled so far away to find. And so I am lucky to finally be going home”.
Earlier this year, we reported about a 17-year-old high school senior who also achieved unbelievable success, when he was accepted by eight of the most prestigious universities in the world.
Undoubtedly,bright future is waiting for these talented students.

VC urges SUG members to be servant leaders

The Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, Prof. Adebiyi Daramola, has advised student leaders to endeavour to be servant leaders.

He made the appeal while inaugurating the Students Union Executive of the university.

Daramola, represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Development, Prof. Tolulope Akinbogun, urged them to see leadership as a process to influence others to accomplish set out objectives.

“The underlying principles here are service, character and teamwork. Do not let your position get into your heads. You must be humble and approach every situation with maturity. The character you display during your tenure will show the kind of persons you are. Strive to serve others, even as you lead,” he said.

The VC also promised that the university would reward the student leaders with local and international trainings.

“We have consistently been sponsoring student leaders to attend leadership training programmes within and outside Nigeria for the past six years. I believe your administration will not be an exception. This is part of our resolve to take FUTA and its products to a higher level of internationalisation in scholarship and excellence,” he said.

The Dean, Students’ Affairs, Dr. Kayode Alese, also advised them to give priority to the needs of other students.

“You must represent them and put aside personal gains. As leaders you must be up and doing. You must be responsible and exhibit leadership qualities at all times. You must be able to take decisions in the overall interest of not only the students’ populace but also the entire university community, “he said.

Alese, who restated the open door policy of the Students Affairs Division, urged the student leaders to always intimate the university management with their observations and challenges through his office.

Promising prompt response to their problems, he warned them against demonstrations and actions that can disrupt academic activities and elongate their stay on campus.

The SUG President, Fowobaje Oluwaseun, promised that they would ensure a crisis free tenure.

“We shall stand to uphold and uplift the integrity of the union by rebranding FUTA and ensuring peace and progress in running the affairs of this great institution.

“Our mission is to build a better union and to bring back respect to the organisation, to change the perspective of students about student unionism,” he stated.

Stay away from Nigeria, NANS tells Jacob Zuma

The National Association of Nigerian Students has advised South African President, Jacob Zuma, to stay away from the inauguration of the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.

The organisation also threatened to storm the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, should Zuma step into the country’s airport.

According to the association, Zuma should keep off as his visit will be an insult to the sensibility of Nigerians over his alleged poor handling of the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other migrant foreigners in South Africa.

A statement by NANS President, Tijani Usman, noted that Zuma’s inability to “apologise to Nigerians like he did to Mozambique”, despite the sacrifices the country made for South Africa, was unfortunate.

He said, “We wish to advise the South African President (Jacob Zuma) to rather stay at home and address burning issues, rather than embarking on a visit that is the least desirable.

“The South African President’s failure to apologise to Nigeria for the losses the country and our citizens incurred during the xenophobic attacks on foreigners leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. There is therefore, no point felicitating with a people who clearly do not matter much to you. President Zuma’s visit will only amount to pretence.”

NANS further restated its earlier position that it will henceforth not hesitate to clamp down on South African investments in the country should any incident of xenophobic attacks recur.

Nigeria's Ancient Secondary Schools READ MORE: http://www.naij.com/444344-nigerias-ancient-secondary-schools.html

Nigeria has thousands of secondary schools scattered all over the nook and crannies of the country. But many Nigerians might not be aware that some of these schools have been in existence even before their parents were born.
A Nigerian on Nigeria’s biggest online forum, Nairaland, with the moniker, PrinceDebola201 has compiled a list comprising 10 secondary schools that are the oldest in the country.
See them below:

1. CMS Grammar School, Lagos (1859)
2. Methodist Boys High School, Lagos (1878)
3. Methodist Girls High School, Lagos (1879)
4. Baptist Academy, Lagos : 1885
5. Hope Waddell Training Institute, Calabar, is
established as Nigeria’s first east of the Niger
secondary school in 1895
6. The old Wesley college Elekuro now Wesley
college of science, Ibadan (1905), Methodist Boys’ High School, Oron (1905).
7. Abeokuta Grammar School, Ogun (1908)
8. Kings College , Lagos (1909)
9. Alhuda College, Zaria (1910)
10. Ijebu-Ode Grammar School, Ogun (1913), Eko Boys High School, Lagos (1913).
The schools listed above are very popular in the country as they are controlled by the federal government and have a large population of students and Alma-mater, with some of their associations becoming influential in the country because of the calibre of men and in some cases, women that graduate from the schools.
In those days, students who gain admission into these schools see it as a privilege because they were the best schools in town are were very strict in admitting students. But unfortunately, some of these schools, if not all of them, are living in past glories.
Many of them do not have the same kind of teachers and teaching facilities that made them to be the choice schools back then.
Instead what we have now are expensive, private and well-managed schools, dictating the pace in the Nigerian educational sector while their counterparts owned by and manged by the government are starved of funds.
It is important for the government to pump more funds into these schools to keep them running and enable them compete with the private-owned schools and ultimately bring back the glory days so that they can be the once attractive schools they were in the past.

33 obtain first class degrees from LAUTECH

LAUTECH Vice-Chancellor
Prof. Adeniyi Gbadegesin

No fewer than 33 students obtained first class degrees in the 2013/2014 academic session from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, the authorities announced on Monday.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Adeniyi Gbadegesin, stated this in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, at a briefing to herald the institution’s 12th convocation.

According to Gbadegesin, the 33 candidates are part of the 4,697 candidates who will graduate from the university this week.

He added, “A total of 4,697 first degrees and over 9,000 higher degrees would be awarded during this convocation. The breakdown is: 33 first class; 1,144 second class upper; 2,575 second class lower; 692 third class; 140 nursing students.”

The VC explained that the convocation ceremonies starting on April 23 would coincide with the 25th Founder’s Day ceremony of the university.

He, however, said the ceremonies would not be elaborate because the university needed money to execute some other necessary projects.

Gbadegesin, who said graduates of the school were doing well, pointed to a Computer Science and Engineering graduate, Mr. Olaolu Ayoola, who recently produced a surveillance drone he designed during his National Youth Service Corps programme in Osun State.

The VC, who hailed the support of the governments of Oyo and Osun states, noted that the university was on the verge of a major expansion.

He said, “As I speak to you, work is at an advanced stage at the university’s proposed Institute of Software Engineering. A Memorandum of Understanding between a leading mechanical engineering/automobile company, RT Briscoe, and LAUTECH has been signed to provide hands-on training ground for our students.”

Traders’ daughter emerges Spelling Bee winner

A pupil of Araromi Primary School, Orile-Agege, Lagos State, Miss Boluwatife Tijani, has emerged winner of the primary school category of the annual Spelling Bee competition.

Boluwatife, 12, was named the overall best pupil at the end of a keenly contested competition at the Adeyemi Bero Auditorium, Alausa, Lagos, on Wednesday. She was rewarded with a cash prize of N150,000 and a plaque for her efforts.

The contestants, who were drawn from public primary schools in the six education districts in the state, had an intriguing time spelling tricky words such as barracuda, casserole, quarantine, igloo, acapella and others.

At one point, a contestant spelt the world ‘aisle’ as ‘high.’

Boluwatife Tijani

Before finally bursting into tears, Boluwatife, whose parents are traders, said, “I feel so happy and excited. I prepared by reading the dictionary and my teachers also helped me. I would like to be a medical doctor in the future, but I don’t know how the money will be spent.”

In her address, Director-General, Office of Education Assurance, Mrs. Ronke Soyombo, said the Spelling Bee Competition was “conceived to encourage academic excellence.”

She added that the annual programme, which was initiated in 2001 by a former first lady of the state, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, through her New Era Foundation, has since been adopted by the Lagos State Ministry of Education.

“The competition helps pupils to improve their spelling skills, increase their vocabulary and develop correct English usage. It also creates good reading habits that will lead to better academic performance and boost the confidence of the participants, with a view to preparing them for future endeavours,” Soyombo said.

According to the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, the secondary schools’ category of the competition, which has produced 14 One-Day Governors, will soon hold.

She said winners at both primary and secondary school categories would benefit from government education scholarship.

“The success of the winners at the competition, over the years, has continued to motivate our pupils to greater heights, as manifested in their achievements in their chosen careers.

“This is buttressed by the achievements of past winners who had graduated with distinctions and are now in enviable professions nationwide,” she said.

Ifaniyi Iretiola, a pupil of the Methodist Primary School, Ibeshe; and Jonathan Awobodu, a pupil of Abesan Primary School, Ipaja, emerged second and third position winners respectively.

They were also rewarded with plaques and cash prizes of N100,000 and N75,000 respectively.

NUT writes Buhari, says education sector needs turn-around

The Nigeria Union of Teachers has congratulated the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, on his victory at the recent presidential elections.

Describing him as the last hope of the teachers, the union challenged him to use his mantra of change to “turn-around the education sector.”

The President of NUT, Mr. Michael Alogba; and Secretary-General, Mr. Ikpe Obong, said this in a letter to Buhari and obtained by The PUNCH and ROTHMYTEMMYPress TV on Thursday in Abuja.

The NUT said it was particularly happy that Buhari would be “coming on board to make a difference in the governance of our country.

“The fact that you continually profess to change the circumstances of Nigeria if given the opportunity, gives us hope that Nigeria is on the verge of rapid development and signals the beginning of the journey towards an enviable future.

General Muhammadu Buhari President-Elect Federal Republic of Nigeria

“Our dear President-elect, if there is any sector in Nigeria that needs a drastic change and turn-around, the education sector is the one, particularly the remuneration, welfare and status of Nigerian teachers.

“You remain the last hope of the teachers; for, if you, as a person known for action coupled with your avowed resolve to ensure equity, justice and fairness to all Nigerians would fail to raise the status of teachers of Nigeria and that of the education industry of our country, then no one else will do it.

“In that case, Nigeria would continue to lag behind and wallow in abject poverty, following the weak foundation bestowed on it consequent upon the neglect of our education industry. Herein lies the great challenge of your Presidency and you must not fail.”
