Police Arrest Students Over Violent Protest

Following Thursday's protest by the students of the Federal Polytechnic
Auchi (Auchi Poly), Edo State, against the "no fees, no exmas policy" by
the school management, about 105 students have been arrested by the
Edo State Police Command.


The suspects reported to have confessed that they were cultists recruited
from the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu, Delta
State University, Abraka and the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma.

According to Mr Mahmmud Garuba, Dean, School of Evening Studies,
he noted that the disturbances could not had been the result of the "no
school fees, no exam policy" as the management had announced the
decision long ago.

His words: "Those that were denied access into the examination hall
were not students; as they have not registered since they claimed to have
gained admission into the polytechnic.
"Enough sensitisation was done on the "no school fees, no examination"
policy by the management and for them to go on riot and destroy
properties of the institution, it is unacceptable," he said.

Mr Mustapha Oshiobugie, Public Relations Officer of the polytechnic,
also said that those prevented from writing the examination were not
registered students of the institution.
It will be recalled that trouble started on the campus of the polytechnic
when security operatives prevented some students who had yet to pay
their tuition fees from writing their examinations.

The security operatives who were allegedly acting on the directive of the
management of the institution, were said to have also torn the
examination sheets of some of the students who forced their way into the
examination hall.

The development angered the students and sparked a riot that also
disrupted the conduct of the examination. The authorities of the school
immediately announced the closure of the institution.

Lagos To Introduce Compulsory Subject For All Students

The Lagos State Government has concluded its plan to implement the
teaching of Yoruba language and making it compulsory in all public
schools in the state.


According to the Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Oluranti
Adebule, who rerepresented Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, at a
stakeholders forum on Thursday noted that henceforth the subject would
be taught in primary and junior secondary schools across the state.

She stated that the subject will make them learn about the culture and the
people's general way of life, adding that is it very important for every
Yoruba child to be able to speak the language fluently.

The deputy governor stressed that the house will aid in making
appropriate legislations that would back up government efforts at making
Yoruba language a compulsory subject in all schools in the state.

“We Reject Scrapping Of Post-JAMB Exams” – Muslim Rights Concern

The Federal Government yesterday scrapped the conduct of post
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations for candidates seeking
admission into tertiary institutions.
The Muslim Rights Concern rejects the abolition of post-JAMB. It is
reactionary, myopic and irritating. It is JAMB itself that should have
been abolished.


Our position is based on the bitter experiences of Nigerian youths and
their parents over the years. Post-JAMB examination was introduced
after the general public and tertiary institutions lost faith in the national
examination body.

There were allegations of bribery and corruption being rampant among
staffers of JAMB who swapped candidates' marks for the highest
bidders.

There were also alleged cases of impersonation whereby parents who
could afford it merely bought high scores for their children who never
wrote any examination. Many brilliant candidates allegedly got low
marks.

Excellence was compromised on the altar of mediocrity. JAMB was
ruining the future of Nigerian youths.
It was the poor performance of JAMB candidates who scored amazingly
high marks but who could not justify their high scores in tertiary
institutions that attracted hue and cry.
They performed woefully after gaining entry into institutions and it was
natural for the schools to do something about it since it was obvious that
JAMB was dumping dullards in the universities and polytechnics all over
the country.

It was an alarming situation. Many undergraduates could not write a
single correct sentence. The quality of education in Nigeria was
deteriorating.

University graduates were performing woefully in job interviews and
prospective employers had problems getting genuinely qualified
graduates. The lion share of the blame for the fall in the quality of
education in Nigeria today should go to JAMB.
Post-JAMB examinations emerged as a corollary of this ugly situation.
The universities and polytechnics needed to separate the wheat from the
chaff.

MURIC is not quite comfortable with government's explanation that all
tertiary institutions were at liberty to conduct screening for candidates
seeking admission into any school because ordinary screening without
written examinations cannot be effective enough. FG should also note
that any type of screening at all must cost the institutions some money.

We call on FG to grant tertiary institutions some level of autonomy
particularly in the area of admission requirements.

FG should also stop JAMB from exposing the lives of teenage Nigerians
to danger through its early morning examinations. It is most irrational
for JAMB to slate its papers for 6.30 am in a country where insecurity is
still a far cry.

Many JAMB candidates who went out to write the 6.30 am during the
last exercise had ugly experiences. Many were forced to travel far
distances and sleep overnight in strange and unsafe places.

Two allegedly lost their lives as they were attacked by ritualists and
armed robbers. One was allegedly raped by hoodlums.
Another was kidnapped and the parents were made to cough out a huge
amount of money. JAMB must put on a human face.

In conclusion, we submit that post-JAMB examination is part of the war
against corruption. It is part of the change mantra.

It has come to save Nigerian youths from the monster called JAMB. It is
therefore JAMB that should be scrapped, not post-JAMB.

Being a statement by Prof. Ishaq Akintola, the Director of Muslim Rights
Concern.
