ASUU, UNILORIN Branch Commissions Hostel for Female Students

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ilorin branch, has completed the building of the first phase of its female hostel at the cost of N7.28million.

The project was commissioned by the Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Abdulganiyu Ambali.

Speaking at the commissioning, the outgoing ASUU Chairman, Professor Wahab Egbewole, said the project was executed by the university without any form of external assistance from any quarters.

Professor Egbewole said the project was aimed at cushioning the effect of inadequate hostel facilities in the institution.
He explained that the union targeted the female students because they were the most vulnerable segment of the community.

He said: “We have watched with consternation the plights of our children struggling and scrambling for the limited number of rooms in the campus.

“A number of them have fallen victims of shylock landlords and wicked neighbours while living outside the campus.

“We, therefore, resolved to contribute our quota in alleviating the sufferings and challenges faced by these young and vulnerable minds by building an 80-bed hostel for them.”

Egbewole also urged the university authorities to improve both electricity and water supply in the campus.

E-testing Will Stem Malpractice In Examination – JAMB

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Thursday said its adoption of Computer Based Test (CBT) was to stem the menace of examination malpractice.

The Kaduna State Coordinator of JAMB, Mr Matthew Audu said this in Kaduna at a one-day advocacy and sensitisation campaign on the the use of CBS during Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Audu said the e-testing method would also facilitate faster release of examination results thereby cutting down on the time “candidates wait anxiously for results”.

He said the computer testing would release a candidate’s score immediately after the completion and submission of answers.

According to him, the board would phase-out the traditional paper pencil method of examination in 2015.

“By 2015, no candidate will be allowed to write UTME through the traditional paper pencil method; it will strictly be computer based test.”

The Coordinator, therefore, advised schools to ensure that their students were properly trained on the use of computer, to be able to write the UTME without stress.

100 students from 10 schools wrote a mock UTME during the sensitisation campaign, to enable them become familiar with the new method of examination.

One of the students, Oluchi Okoli from FGC, Kaduna said the new system was more accurate and would eliminate cheating during examinations.

Also, Favour Jonathan from Dambo International School described the e-testing as “transparent”. (NAN)
