10.5m children out of school in Nigeria – UNICEF

Jean Gough, Country Director, United Nations
International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has
said that no fewer than 10.5 million Nigerian
children are out of school. Gough stated this
on Tuesday in Bauchi while exchanging views
with Gov. Mohammed Abubakar of Bauchi
State at the Government House.
She said that UNICEF was collaborating with
some stakeholders to strengthen the newly-
introduced Quranic School System to reduce
the number of out-of-school children. She
disclosed that the fund had concluded plan to
tackle the issue of child malnutrition in the
state as it had discovered that 90 per cent of
child diseases was as a result of malnutrition.
Gough also announced that UN body would
curb public defecation, especially with more
than 2,000 communities in the state
defecating in open places. “We intend to
ensure that before I leave the country, at least
one local government area in Bauchi state is
public-defecation free.
“We will also work in collaboration with the
state government to boost water and
sanitation towards the supply of adequate
and portable drinking water. “I will, therefore,
want to appeal to the state government to pay
its counterpart fund to enable us execute
some of the projects,” she said.
In his response, Gov. Abubakar promised that
the state government would renew all
counterpart funding arrangements it had with
donor agencies. Abubakar assured that he
would ensure that the funds were paid on
monthly basis to enable the state to benefit
from some of the projects.
He said that the government would
collaborate with UNICEF to ensure that one
local government area became public-
defecation free to improve the public health
status of the state.

Career counselling for Nigerian universities

By Dele Sobowale

THE average Nigerian child [or university
student] rarely comes across a book which
will educate him/her with regards to all
available professional courses..” Professor
Sotonade, Professor of Counseling
Psychology, in Foreword to 40

CAREERS: A
Career Guidance Book.

LAST week, I used my own history as a case
study in how Career Counseling can help
students to discover their true mission in life
– instead of the kalokalo approach we have
adopted in Nigeria; with disastrous results.
One of our classmates at Igbobi College,
Tunde Kuboye, JAZZ 38, was forced to go and
study Engineering in the UK.
He returned as one of the most famous Jazz
Musicians of our generation. So, before
anyone accuses me of “abuse of
forum” (apologies to Prince Tony Momoh),
here is another example – of career change
which had enabled some individuals to
achieve their destinies.
Let us now take a look at the “stars” of this
two-part article – the book itself and the
author, Mr Oluseyi Olusanya (Olu2). Instead
of bothering the readers with a lot of words, I
have adopted the Chinese proverb as guide.
“A picture is worth a thousand words.”  Below,
reproduced is the front cover of 40

CAREERS:
A Career Guidance Book.
Olu did an excellent job of listing careers, but
he probably did not reckon on having
fastidious people from the “Old School”
reading the book. I counted 41 careers instead
of 40. Not only that, he left out careers which,
perhaps, are just as important as those
included.
For a start journalists will never forgive him
for not specifically separating their profession
from Mass Communications, Astronomers,
Archeologists must wonder if theirs is no
longer a profession; so will the Clergy and
religious leaders of all faiths. Ask Professor
Wande and he will insist that Ifa is now a
branch of study in some universities.
However, despite all those minor criticisms of
the book, it is perhaps the most valuable
book for parents and kids in our universities
to acquire – after text books and a good
laptop.
Olu2 had one a good job of describing most
of the careers and what a student needs to do
to become an aspirant, first, and a
professional later. He has also included the
list of universities offering those courses. But,
here again a word of caution is required. The
inclusion of a university among those offering
a course does not mean endorsement of the
university. Aspiring students still need to find
out if the university has obtained Full
Accreditation for the course or Provisional
Accreditation.
Provisionalaccreditation
Undertaking a course of study in a university
without Full Accreditation for a course is risky
as the National University Commission, NUC,
might withdraw the provisional accreditation
at any time – leaving the students stranded.
This is particularly important for those
embarking on Professional courses like Law,
Medicine or Architecture.
The Council on Legal Education recently
refused admission to the Nigerian Law School
to those studying at the National Open
University of Nigeria, NOUN. Prior to that, the
NUC had closed some Law faculties of
universities to which Provisional Accreditation
was granted. So, when the issue is enrollment
at a university, the best advice to aspirants
remains  caveat emptor (buyer beware).
Will I recommend the book to people?
Certainly, I just gave my copy to my daughter.
That is the best recommendation one can give
to any book. But more importantly, I strongly
advocate that Nigerian universities should
employ career counselors. They in turn should
undertake continuous training to avail
themselves of information about new careers
being created. Bloggers!!! The did not exist
twenty years ago.

11 varsities make N1.7bn from post- UTME screenings

FOLLOWING the submission of Joint
Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) to
the will of parents and students who kicked
against JAMB’s posting of students to
institutions they didn’t pick, eleven federal
universities are to share the sum of
N1,577,414,000 or 1.5billion Naira in the on
going post UTME exercise across tertiary
institutions nationwide.
Year in year out as students in Nigeria
conclude their secondary school education,
they aspire to further their studies in tertiary
institutions. The first step in the series of
stepping stones is WAEC, GCE or NECO, then
comes JAMB. The last is post UTME which
some quarters say is irrelevant since JAMB
exists and others say is important as tertiary
institutions use it to further “sift the dirt from
the shaft.”
Upon the purchase of University of Benin post-
UTME forms, 60, 020 applicants, at 3,550
Naira each, would add 213,071,000/213million
to the school’s coffers. Being renowned for
having the highest number of applicants,
University of Ilorin has 85, 945 applicants
who picked up the forms at 4000naira each
and provided the school with 343,780,000/
343million. The Lion’s Den was not left out as
the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, with 57,
539 prospective students, at N2,000 trapped
115,078,000/ N115million.
Birthed by Delta State Government, Delta State
University would bracket 236,562,000 / 236
million, from 78,854 applicants at N3,000
each, whether they are admitted or not,
whether they succeed in writing the exam or
not. In the heart of the nation’s economic
capital, University of Lagos, with 49,059
applicants would bag 96,236,000/ 196 million
at N4,000 per form.
The first capital of the nation, Calabar in
Cross River State which hosts University of
Calabar has generated N116,837,500/
116million from 17,975 applicants at 6,500
per form.
Thirty eight thousand five hundred and twenty
(38,520) applicants purchased UTME form at
N4,500 from University of Ibadan, that would
accrue N173,340,000 to the institution.
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, which
exists for learning and culture charged each of
the 34,409 applicants N3,500 and bagged
N120,431,500/ 120million.
Voice of submission
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and University
of Port-Harcourt both charged 52, 785 and 28,
254 applicants respectively N2,000 for UTME
and bagged N105,570,000 and N56,508,000
respectively. Despite the large number of
applicants, the highest number that can be
admitted in varsities is five to six thousand.
The question then is; what happens to the
rest?
Does it get turned over to the government as
income? Does it count as internally generated
revenue? Why not just produce the cards
according to the spaces available? Why not
have these exams conducted at minimal cost
then charge students school fees upon
admission? These are the questions some
stakeholders ask. While others do not mind,
“provided they get admission.” Theirs is a
voice of submission.
Mr Effiom Ekpeyong, whose son picked up
University of Uyo’s post-UTME form for
N3,500 said; “I do not have a choice, before
you finish clamouring here and there time has
gone, the university will do what they want
and the child will spend one year at home. Let
him do it and go.”
At N3,300 Mr Chijindu Chinazor bought post-
UTME form for his child to test and hopefully
get admitted into Federal University of
Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State. His
reaction goes thus; “Am not bothered,
provided they get admission. If people think
education is expensive they should try
ignorance. That is however not to say that we
should be extorted from.
“My first daughter went in 2008, she bought
her’s 1,000 from University of Benin, that it is
now 3,550 is a simple factor of inflation
which is in every sector of the economy, why
should the education sector be
different?” Pastor Chuks Obi who has three
wards that are sitting for post utme, lamented
that UNIBEN has taken close to N20,000 from
his coffers for his wards post UTME form.
Post UTME form
Analysing the amount he spent, Obi said,
‘’Before this post utme form came out, one of
my daughters who is a student of Uniben
asked me to send N1,500 each to her siblings
for pre- post UTME test which I sent. When the
actual form came out, she demanded I send
N2,500 for the forms, Which I gladly did. I
became worried when my daughter from
UNIBEN called and said the form was no
longer N2,500 but N3,550.
“I became alarmed over what I call
unnecessary expense by some universities.
What if I can’t afford such amount, what of
other parents who are unable to afford such
amount for a candidate talk more of two
candidates?’’
An applicant of Uniben, Joy Obi said ‘’I thank
my parents for paying my post utme form,
however, the form is too expensive. I am not
happy that some candidates will forfeit higher
institutions due to high cost of form. I want
the federal government to come to the rescue
of students because education ought to be the
right of every Nigerian child.’’

TOP 10 COURSES TO STUDY IN NIGERIA

If you wanted to be really honest with
yourself, you’ll accept that a particular set of
courses in Nigeria are actually regarded at
the best of all courses. You can’t really
blame them though, with the rate of
unemployment in Nigeria these courses are
the only professions that can lead to a
student having a really good Job. Having
this in mind you can see the Top 10 Courses
To Study In Nigeria and give your comments
below if you feel otherwise.
#1
Medicine
You’re in the science stream and you reveal
your choice of institution to your parents, we
both know the course they’l advice you to go
for MEDICINE. Advice of course for parents
that listen and are understanding for other
parents, they’ll most likely force you till
JAMB shows them you don’t really like the
profession. This reminds me of my
highschool days , 70% of the class filled
Medicine as their course of study. Chose!!!!
Now most of them if not all are studying
biochemistry or something related.
#2
Pharmacy
The next on the Top 10 Courses To Study In
Nigeria is pharmacy . You couldn’t make
medicine right, go for the next thing to it
“Pharmacy”. The prestigious faculty of
pharmacy, even more prestigious if you’re a
pharmacy student in OAU. In case you didn’t
know, OAU is actually the first university in
Nigeria to have pharmacy as a faculty of it’s
own. So Pharmacy!! as NO 2
#3
Law
Yes! The prestigious and proud law students
of Nigeria. This doesn’t even require your
parents, Once you’re in the art class the first
thing you fill in as your desired course of
study is Law!!!.. I don’t really blame they
have the most beautiful girls. I don’t know
about your school but in OAU here? believe
me i once went for a class very early so i
could see Law chicks troop out in their black
and white and their short skirts.. (Hope my
mum isn’t reading this lol.. mum am facing
my Education ooh !!) So Law as NO 3.
#4
Electrical Electronics
Meet the king of the technology faculty, Elect
Elect is actually a very cool course to study
and they have the most intellectual students.
I respect the students of the department but
hey don’t get me wrong, I’m a computer with
Economics Student. Yeah that’s right, I’m a
double honour student, i have every reason to
be proud lol . I just like elect cause you can
really diversify. In elect i’ve met bad ass
programmers, even more bad ass than
programmers in my department. No 4 goes
to Elect then
#5
Architecture
I for one am a great fan of this course. For
now lets pretend the course isn’t one of the
most stressful courses you can ever choose
to study, department is DOPE. Once you’re
good you’re GOOD! and they’re probably the
students with one of the highest chances of
getting a job in this country with an
outrageous number of unemployed. They are
still the fewest, that’s why i don’t still
understand how they throw the best parties
in OAU. NO 5 goes to archi.
#6
Computer Science & Engineering
Ok so you might feel i’m biased about
putting computer here just because am a
student of the AMAZING department but NO.
Computer Science & Engineering is actually
one of the best courses a tech student could
choose to study. Let’s face it, the world
becoming more and more digital everyday.
Gone are the days i have to use cash to buy
food. Now with just a Sanwo card in ife here
i can buy a lovely meal, now who do you
think controls the future. so number 6 goes
to the Computer students
#7
Nursing
Nursing definitely has to be on the list,
without the help of the nurses where would
the doctors before. If you argue otherwise,
you definitely haven’t experienced what
happens to patients when the nurses in a
hospital embark on a strike. Well i know what
happens and the doctors would tell you they
can’t do it alone. So Nursing NO 7
#8
Mechanical Engineering
Some people would disagree on the ranking
of Mech Engin on this list because
Mechanical Engineering isn’t just hard to get
when trying to get into an institution but it is
also very hard to study but the reason i kept
it on NO 10 is because it isn’t an
independent course. How many Mechanical
Engineering students have you met that
finished school and they decide to Work on
their own? Most if not all of them begin
searching for Jobs and lets be sincere it’s
not easy to come across job opportunities
these days. So Mechanical Engineering Wins
slot NO 8
#9
Accounting
So this is like the first commercial course to
make the list and No am not being Biased, in
fact i felt very reluctant to add it to the list.
The reason i added it is because that’s the
first course that comes to commercial
students minds when it’s time to pack their
things to the Higher Institution. Before
accounting students stone me to death, ask
yourselves this question how many of you
can be self established successfully without a
great amount Capital.
#10
Agriculture
The last on the list is the whole faculty of
agric. The reason agric is on No 10 is
because of the ease with which students can
get into the faculty. Soil Science, Animal
Science, Agric Econs but when you look at it
from the productive aspect of it and the self
Establishment capabilities, agric is really an
amazing course to study. There you have it,
Nigeria’s top 10 courses. If you feel
otherwise about the other of the ranking ,
You can drop your thought in the comment
section.

Nigerian OSCAR Awards 2015...The National Student Awards for Nigeria Universities and UNIOSUN students inclusive

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL UNIOSUN STUDENTS.
OSCAR UNIVERSITY AWARD IS HERE AGAIN,HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REPRESENT YOUR UNIVERSITY

ABOUT 50 students and and 20 other
outstanding achievers in the country will be
honoured at the Nigerian OSCAR award to be
hosted in Lagos this year.
OSCAR stands for the Nigerian Outstanding
Students’ Choice Awards of Recognition.
Attendees will be thrilled as organisers are set
to host the most acceptable, credible, and
world-standard award ceremony.
The event encompasses the National Student
Awards, the Multicultural Food Feast, and a
grand reception for 20 Most Exceptional
Nigerians (MEN) of 2015.
In 2014, OSCAR Nigeria organised two local
editions of the awards at the Obafemi
Awolowo University (OAU) and Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH),
receiving accolades from state governments,
public agencies, non-governmental
organisations (NGOs), and powerful
individuals.
During the Obafemi Awolowo University
OSCAR, prominent figures and brands like
Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State;
vice-chancellor of the institution, Professor
Bamitale Omole; Diamond Bank; Airtel
Nigeria; Nestle Nigeria, and 40 students of the
Obafemi Awolowo University were awarded
and honoured at the highly prestigious
Oduduwa Hall of the university.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Ondo State
governor on Students’ Affairs, Mr Muyiwa
Asagunla, once said: “OSCAR Nigeria is
particularly a Nigerian initiative that will
easily get global publicity and attention.

<a href=" http://bit.ly/1MLflhK "><img src=" http://s17.postimg.org/aw6ccxghn/1658970_2.jpg . png"></a>

The

brand has, perhaps, set integrity as its
hallmark.”
Meanwhile, the Senior Communication Officer
of the team, Ojekunle Alex Oderemi, dropped
the hint as to what to expect during the 20
MEN Grand Reception.
He said: “The event will showcase and honour
20 exceptional Nigerians who have done
something unique in 2015.”
