  • To praise or bury Obahiagbon

    Oratory is perhaps one of the oldest forms of art. Men who possessed this gift stoked civil actions. They made women fall in love. They made the hearts of kings merry and quaver. Some, in their creative guile, made truths out of lies; they made puritans out of the lascivious and conferred innocence on the guilty. Through their high-flown fireworks, they inspired reverence for what was considered lofty and revolt for whatever did not dignify humankind.

    From the dawn of the Grecian civilisation to the present day, man has employed the instrument of language, metaphors, allusions and captivating imageries to inspire patriotism or sway public opinion. History reminds us how oratory was highly regarded in ancient Rome. It was taught in schools and citizens were expected to show their public speaking skills during their comitias. Knowledge of history, vocabulary, philosophy, gods and religion, were vital weapons of these orators.

    The British House of Commons was equally notable for its influential array of orators. A four-time leader of the opposition, William Gladstone, popularly referred by Benjamin Disraeli as “God’s Only Mistake”, was renowned for his adroitness in the art of oratory. Even Winston Churchill once described Gladstone as “a sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity.” Till date, some scholars argue that his wordiness was one of the reasons he had poor rapport with Queen Victoria. There were the vestiges of Timothy Healy, Tony Benn, FE Smith, Lloyd George; all regarded as parliamentary orators of choice. Even though one may not agree with their positions on issues, they were like a thriller, arresting and caressing the soul to submission.

    Great writers are aware of this ageless secret. They are skilled in deploying a language laced with deeper literary properties to address the human condition and consequently demonstrate the straw of their artistry. Ask William Shakespeare. Ask Joseph Conrad. Ask Wole Soyinka. Ask Balzac. And of course, ask one Nigerian columnist that has influenced my writing, Sam Omatseye.

    But there is always a clear boundary between a rousing orator and a rabble-rouser. You see it from the pulse of their breath. You perceive it from the acuity of their gaze and the dilation of their eyeballs. You can smell it from the calmness that springs forth from their soul, stoking the humanity of their audience. You can feel it from the fluidity of their discourse and their creative capacity to be poetic, sensual and yet ideologically satisfying.

    Since his stint as a law-maker at the House of Representatives, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon never ceased to grab headlines. A lot of his colleagues at the hallowed chamber had great difficulty understanding the “krikum krakums” that riddled his commentaries. In my first year in the university, my phone was replete with various footages of his musings. Till date, some folks still label this writer as Obahiagbon.

    I was taught by Dr. A. S. Moye that communication is only effective when the message is comprehended by the receiver. Since many Nigerians find it pretty hard to understand his dialectics, should we conclude then that Obahiagbon is not communicating? Does that confine him to the class of rabble-rousers? Why the usual disconnect associated with his communication style?

    One, many of us have no appreciation for subtlety, style and depth. How often do we pour into books to learn new grammatical structures and words? We are not even meticulous enough to properly spell out our words. You see that hastiness in our text-messaging. You see it in our commentaries on the social media. Even lecturers have had to grapple with a generation that has no regard for proper articulation of thoughts and basic communication skills. Like Reuben Abati once noted, we seem like a generation in a hurry. We hurry to live, to love, to marry, to travel outside the shores of Nigeria. We hurry to die.

    In my opinion, Obahiagbon has all the trappings of a fine orator. He possesses the grit and grace to become the Cicero of our time, exuding what Churchill called the “inner-God”. But my concern is the recurring infusion of Latin and Greek terminologies in his discourse as well as his verbosity that sometimes turns a heated social issue to a comic spectacle. Though, some scholars crooned that every orator is likely to be verbose at some point. So, Obahiagbon may need to take a cue from Churchill, knowing “where every noun and adjective would go and how every piece of punctuation would bed into the speech”.

    But what we have failed to understand is that oratory seems to have been lost, especially in today’s Nigerian political circles. We have an army of persons who just vomit dim-witted remarks when they face pressmen. A lot of them lack the charm to draw us to the sublime, the lofty and the idyllic. It reflects the extinction of nobility, ideology and awe associated with political power. A renaissance in oratory could be all we need to redefine the business of legislation. That rebirth has to shine through on every page of our public life.

  • ‘Tim Tally Varsity will arrest brain drain’

    ‘Tim Tally Varsity will arrest brain drain’

    the Vice-Chancellor Tim Tally University in Langtang, Plateau State Prof Bernard Matur Malau, in this interview with ADEGUNLE OLUGBAMILA, says the two-year-old institution is set to repatriate some of the nation’s best brains back to the country.

    The National Universities Commission (NUC) is granting more operating licences to private universities against the shortfall of manpower, especially at the tertiary level. Don’t you think this may lead to a drop in quality of teaching and graduates?

    First, the idea that we don’t have qualified personnel or that they are not enough to teach is not true. There is this aspect ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities) is seriously fighting and that is academic brain drain. We produce these lecturers here but because of lack of staff welfare, remuneration, research grants and other facilities, most of these people prefer to go abroad and teach. It is not like they don’t like their country but they also have passion for their profession and therefore cannot continue to practice in an atmosphere that is not conducive.

    With the kind of facilities Tim Tally is putting on ground, I can assure you lecturers overseas will return home. We are going to serve as a conduit pipe for siphoning lecturers back into the system. We want our university to be a model that others will copy from.

    What do you think are the problems of education in Nigeria and how are they affecting education at the tertiary level?

    If you say the education standard is falling, then you are correct. But if you say we don’t have brains, I will disagree. One often discovers that most graduates that are produced in this country do well when they study overseas. In fact some of them are the best in their field because they are exposed to the right facilities and environment.

    However, let me also commend President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. He has seen the need for quality education which brings about socio-economic development and empowerment. In the last ASUU-Federal Government agreement that was signed again in December, Dr Jonathan approved a whopping N200 billion for a start up towards holistic restructuring of our universities. On Friday (last week) the president released N100 billion of the money to the universities for infrastructural development only. Within the next few years of his administration, we will see standard, quality and respect will be restored in the Nigerian universities.

    Tell us briefly about Tim Tally University.

    Tim Tally University is two years old. We have been trying to see that the first batch of students secure admission this year. We have pursued vigorously with the all the processes as far as establishing universities in Nigeria are concerned. At present, we have just built some 14-classroom structures. The construction of the Administrative Block is on as well as hostels. It is going to be an institution that would accommodate all students on campus.

    We run a collegiate system. At present we have the College of Arts, College of Management, College of Social Science and College of Law, College of Science and Technology, the Institute of Education and the Entrepreneurial and Skill Acquisition centre. We are at present running administrative programmes, but the real academic programmes starts by September.

    Tim Tally University is dominated in a state that was once crisis-ridden. Won’t this create security concerns for students their parents and workers?

    The proprietor and chancellor of the university is Gen. Jeremiah Useni a southerner plateau. It is the only private university is plateau located in Langtang north, the proprietor’s hometown. Contrary to impression is certain quarters, it is the most peaceful environment in terms of cultural, social, economic and educational development. Even though the state in general has witnessed some crises during the last administration but for the past nine years now, absolute peace has returned to the entire state. Interestingly again, this particular area the university is situated has never witnessed such crisis. The environment is hospitable and the atmosphere conducive for academic learning. I am encouraging people to come and see things for themselves.

    What is your focus?

    Our focus is inter-disciplinary! All the aspects of science, education, arts and humanities will be taken into consideration. One particular area of interest neglected by many Nigerian universities is the entrepreneurial sector. We have Entrepreneurial and Skill Acquisition centre which will be one of our cardinal focus. One of the ways for bringing institutions together and sharing in the wealth of knowledge is collaboration; and we are going to be having series of it

    We now have about 100 private universities in Nigeria and more is still coming. Don’t you feel threatened? What is the new thing Tim Tally is bringing along?

    Today, we have close to 100 private universities in Nigeria including 36 federal universities. I was the immediate vice-chancellor of Catholic University. When we established the university, we thought it was going to be a challenge because it was then the 113th university in Nigeria. But we also discovered that so many universities were not even meeting up with admission. Many students would write the UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) yet many would be denied admission. One major challenge in the universities generally is drawing resource persons. As experienced people in the field, we know how to attract people, how to encourage them to go for further studies. Also staff welfare was another thing that made us attract the best brains. By God’s grace, Tim Tally is also coming to reduce the admission shortfall in Nigeria as well as create employment opportunities. Already we have seven professors on ground.

  • TEFFUND allocates N2.58b to entrepreneurship studies

    The Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) allocated N2.58 billion to entrepreneurial studies in universities in 2013, its official has said.

    There are 129 universities in the country and each received N20 million grant.

    Mr Asimolowo Musibau made this known at a seminar on Entrepreneurship Studies in Nigerian Universities, at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST), Port Harcourt.

    Praising the entrepreneurial research team of RSUST, Musibau said TETFUND, which hosted the event, has also created a framework for the implementation of the entrepreneurship programme as well as its monitoring, hence the need for students to tap into it

    The Vice-Chancellor of RSUST, Prof Barineme Fakae said: “It is not a surprise that this seminar is being powered by researchers of the university because the new RSUST is asserting itself as the first in every good thing.”

    Fakae, who was represented by the Dean, Faculty of Engineering of the university, Prof Miebaka Ayotamuno, also noted that this was coming at a time RSUST is working hard to become one of the first three outstanding universities in the country.

    He observed that despite the amount it has made available to the universities for the implementation of the entrepreneurship studies, the programme lacks adequate funding going by the findings of a research team led by RSUST Director of Academic Planning Prof Maureen Koko that visited the various zones in the country, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

    He also said if fully implemented, especially at the tertiary level, the programme would reduce the rising graduate unemployment in the country.

    Most of the universities, he said, do not have centres for developing skills as required by the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC).

    Chairman of the occasion, Prof Markson Ahiakwo, said the programme is instituted by NUC to prepare undergraduates and equip them with skills other than their main course of studies, so they can become entrepreneurs after graduation.

    This, Ahiakwo said, is why the NUC has invested in the univarsities, pointing out the importance of informing “the public of what the universities have done with the funds TETFUND and NUC have allocated to them to implement entrepreneurship studies.”

    He also stated that it is important to know the reactions of students to this programme, stressing that students should be encouraged to participate in entrepreneurship programmes.

    Making her presentation, Prof Koko said the research was carried out in 124 universities.

    He said findings from her team showed that inadequate funding and infrastructure were posing serious challenges to development of entrepreneurship in the universities.

    The research, she stressed, further noted that students depend more on theories than practical leading to apathy for entrepreneurship studies.

    As a way forward, Koko recommended that more experts in the entrepreneurship field should be employed with more practical works taught the students.

     

  • NDDC hostel excites students

    NDDC hostel excites students

    The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has completed a 174-room Hall of Residence for students of the Federal University of Technology in Owerri (FUTO), Imo State. MOHAMMED SANI (400-Level Public Health) reports.

    It is bigger and imposing,” Jacinta Izuaka, a 300-Level student of Food Science Technology of the Federal University of Technology in Owerri (FUTO), Imo State, said after the commissioning of the ultra-modern hostel built by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for the institution. “It certainly has more spaces than the existing hostels on our campus,” she added.

    Jacinta was expressing the mind of students when the 174-room hostel was opened for use last week. For the NDDC, the occasion was a defining moment because it was delivering on its mandate.

    NDDC Chairman Senator Bassey Ewa-Henshaw led members of the commission to the university to open the building. Ewa-Henshaw said the commission would step up its partnership with higher institutions in the Niger Delta to promote quality education.

    He said the hostel would provide a conducive learning environment and help students in their studies.

    The NDDC Managing Director, Mr Bassey Dan-Abia, spoke about the agency’s contributions to educational development. He said since human capital development tops the Transformation Agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan, the commission would strive to provide infrastructure that would help achieve the goal.

    He said: “One of this administration’s policies for the development of education is the provision of infrastructure to stop over-crowding of students and increase access to decent accommodation, in line with the millennium development goals. We are working to achieve this aim.”

    On how it is assisting other agencies, Ewa- Henshaw said the commission provided science equipment to secondary schools, retrained 500 science teachers and 225 principals and vice principals for capacity enhancement in schools management and administration.

    He said: “We will, in line with President Jonathan’s directive, consistently complete and deliver many more projects for the benefit of the people of the Niger Delta in the coming months and years. Particularly, more hostel projects will be embarked on for the benefit of our students in universities across the region.”

    Ewa-Henshaw announced the approval of the university’s request for a 500KVA electric transformer and generator for the hostel.

    The Vice-Chancellor, Prof Chigozie Asiabaka, said NDDC had fulfilled its mandate of facilitating the rapid and sustainable development of the Niger Delta with the projects. He praised the commission for delivering the hostel, and requested for more facilities.

    President of the Students’ Union Government (SUG) Godson Okeke said the new hostel had given students a reason to believe in the government and the commission. “We have thoroughly inspected the project and we certify that it is worthy to be occupied by our students,” he said.

    Uchenna Ohalete, national secretary of Igbo Youths Ambassadors, described the edifice as a well-thought out initiative. He said: “This is one of the biggest projects in FUTO. It will enhance the welfare of the students and go a long way in alleviating the problems they encounter in securing hostel accommodation.”

    The traditional ruler of Dindi-Ihiagwa in Owerri West Local Government Area of the state, Eze Kinsley Eze-Odu, described the hostel as a “jumbo edifice” that would elevate the status of the university. “As the Eze of the institution’s host community, I am not Oliver Twist but I must ask for more facilities to help the university authorities to properly manage the increasing students’ population,” he said.

    The state-of-the-art hostel has a 696 bed space and amenities for occupants’ convenience. The building has a big water tank linked to a solar-water treatment plant.

    Other facilities include super markets, cybercafé, games rooms and rooms for physically-challenged students.

  • Union parliament sworn in

    Union parliament sworn in

    MEMBERS of parliament of the Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH) have been sworn in in a ceremony held in school Auditorium 1 on Isolo campus.

    Before the commencement of the programme, a minute silence was observed in honour of late Oladimeji Olu, a Computer Engineering student, who until his death was a member of the outgoing lawmakers.

    In his address titled: Students’ Representative Council towards positive change, Uthman Olasunkami, a former Minority Leader in the house, said students’ unionism had lost its value, noting that in the past, students’ leaders stood their ground and fought for the benefits of students. He said unionism had become a political tool for selfish individuals, urging members to work in unity to achieve the primary objective of the union.

    Mr Aderemi Badmus, who administered the oath of office on the parliamentarians, advised them to carry out their responsibilities with diligence.

    The Assistant Dean of Students’ Affairs, Mr Daisi Olusegun, said the platform was the beginning of a political career for some of them, urging them to be responsible and work in harmony.

    Mr Olajuwon Aiyeokutan, also advised them not to lord it over other students on campus, adding that they should not forget their primary objective as students.

    The new officers included Aminu Lukmon, Speaker; Okpara Williams, Deputy Speaker; Akintola Sheriff, Clerk; Fagbemi Emmanuel, Majority Leader; Batife Daisi Minority Leader; Olubode Olumide, Chief Whip, Adedeji Ibrahim, Mace Bearer; Adetola Adeniyi, Special Service; Oluwole Sarah, Publication Chairman and Babatunde Patrick, Protocol.

    In his vote of thanks, Lukmon thanked everyone for the success of the event and promised to make his tenure the best in the history of the institution.

     

  • Littoral Varsity first convocation underway

    Littoral Varsity first convocation underway

    The next matriculation of the Littoral University (Institut Littoral Des Etudes Proffesionnelles Superieures ILEPS ), Porto Novo in Republic of Benin, will come up in the last quarter of this year..

    Three presidents, two governors over 30 vice-chancellors and 60 professors across universities in Nigeria and beyond, are being expected to grace the event billed to hold at the university’s permanent site in Porto Novo, ILEP’sVice-Chancellor and founder Prof Ayeni Reuben Oyebode, has announced.

    At the university’s 2013/2014 matriculation at its temporary site in D’Agboku Porto Novo on Saturday, Ayeni said plans have reached advanced stage between ILEPS, the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Universities Commission (NUC) to enlist the university’s graduates for the one year mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

    “I am glad to announce to you that in no distant time, the next matriculation will go with our convocation/award ceremony and an official launch of the N5.5 billion endowment fund of the university’s project at the permanent site. We are commencing construction of new infrastructure to meet the need of staff and students.

    “During the convocation, I will be highlighting some of our achievements, but now we are concentrating on building quality education for quality students that will qualify them for quality jobs in the labour market for life sustenance,”

    “Our university is an independent co-educational non-sectarian institution in the tradition of liberal arts and sciences, seeking to be fruitful to ideals of its heritage, committed in all of its policies and practices to the unrestricted and vigorous pursuit of truth to the certainty of values in human life and to a respect for differing point of view,” Ayeni added.

    He recounted the first matriculation in November 2011, which had a combination of two sets of matriculating students, as well as the third which took place at the Benin National Stadium in Porto Novo.

    Acknowledging the university’s trying times in the past, Ayeni assuredthat ILEPS has and is making amends in the overall students’ interest.

    Aside outsourcing credible and qualified teaching staff, Ayeni also spoke on progress ILEPS is making with respect to exchange programmes with universities within and outside the Republic of Benin.

    “We had challenges within and without, but with diligence and focus had ratified all of them. I will implore all students to go about their academic activities as all the necessary plans to give satisfaction to all areas that needed attention had already been taken care of and I can see that students had begun to see dynamic changes in both the curriculum and lecturing aspects.”

    He said the university is still opened to individuals and corporate bodies for partnership.

    Similarly, President-General, African Peace Foundation, Abuja, Prof Ola Makinwa, told the 156 new students importance of the matriculation oath.

    He urged them to be committed to their studies, stay away from vices and be good ambassadors of Nigeria in the French-speaking country.

     

  • Be serious with your studies, freshers advised

    The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), Prof Abdulganiyu Ambali has advised new students to be serious with their academics, saying those who fail to meet the minimum required Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) would be asked to withdraw.

    He gave the advice during the orientation programme organised by the Students’ Union Government (SUG) of the university.

    Ambali urged them to maintain close relationship with their course advisers and staff, adding: “These are the people that will help you whenever you encounter challenges in your academic pursuit.”

    In his address entitled: Remember the son of whom you are, the Registrar, Mr Emmanuel Obafemi, enjoined the students to be good ambassadors of their families and the school.He warned them to be careful of the kind of company they keep.

  • Journalists and the law

    Freedom of the press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticise and oppose”—George Orwell.

    Society and reporting are like a man and his shadow. The society needs a reporter, not for what he is, but for what he does. What he does is providing information, thereby creating knowledge. Knowledge is power, and journalism, through its activities, provides it.

    Every democratic society creates a conducive atmosphere for the practice of journalism through enactment of relevant laws. These laws are known as “press laws”. Section 39, sub-section 1 and 2, of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, states that “…every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression including to hold opinion and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference” and that “…every person shall be entitled to own, establish and operate a medium for information dissemination of information, ideas and opinion”. It is no doubt that these laws only exist on paper. The execution of these laws is a mirage. Over the years, a lot of journalists have suffered countless persecutions from both the government and individuals.

    These persecutions could take the form of kidnapping of journalists or outright killing. What is disturbing is that the perpetrators do not seem to recognise the distinction between an “aspiring reporter” and a “professional reporter. Once you publish a report considered pejorative, you might just be up for possible persecution.

    This reminds me of the plight of Emeka Onwudinjo, a second-year student of Mass Communication, Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra State, who was recently expelled from school as a result of practising his desired profession—journalism.

    As I stumbled on the story in Daily Sun newspaper tagged: “Okopoly expels student for reporting news”, I couldn’t help but ask: what future does journalism hold for us in our country? How free are we in expressing our opinions?

    Is it a failed career for some endangered species? If all pleas by Emeka for the Rector, Prof Godwin Onu, to rescind his stance concerning the situation fail, it could mark the end of his dreams as a journalist. Even if he surmounts the courage to continue, the flame of journalism in him may have been reduced to a flicker. He will be daunted, and the tendency to approach journalism with fear would creep in. This gruesome decision can hinder the desire of other ardent young reporters in our country. Why should a student report factual stories and end up being battered or assaulted?

    Emeka’s case is one of many in the trajectory of reporters, who have borne the cross of reporting since the history of journalism in Nigeria. A part from Dele Giwa and others of his time, some pen pushers have lost their lives practicing the profession, including Sunday Gyang Bwede and Nathan S. Dabak both of The Light Bearer; Bayo Ohu, Chinedu Offaro and Tunde Oladepo of The Guardian; Samson Boyi, The Scope; Sam Nimfa Jan, Details; Okezie Amaruben, News Service; Emenche Akogwu, Channels TV; Zakariya Isa, NTA; Ikechukwu Udendu, Anambra News; Nasok Sallah, Highland FM; Edo Sule Ugbadgwu, The Nation; Ephraim Audu, Nasarawa State Broadcasting Service; Baguda Kaltho, The News; Bolade Fasasi, National Association of Women Journalists; Godwin Agbroko and Paul Abayomi Ogundeji both of ThisDay.

    To prevent more deaths, arrests, assaults, battery, and unjustified accusation of journalists, enforcement of press laws should be treated with a sense of duty. The complete execution of the stipulated laws protecting the press should be effected.
