Nigerian education due for reform, says OAU VC

August 5, 2021 No Comments

The Vice Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Prof Eyitope Ogunbodede, has said Nigerian educational institutions at all levels, have to undergo fundamental and critical reforms.

This, he said, would make it have meaningful contributions to national and global development in the post COVID-19 era.

Ogunbodede, who was the guest lecturer at the Prof Adetokunbo Babatunde Sofoluwe 9th Memorial lecture held at the J.F. Ade Ajayi Auditorium, Akoka, said the country’s educational system must be redesigned to support the developmental needs of the society to meet global standards.

The event, organised by the UNILAG Alumni Association, was chaired by former Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof Rahman Bello.

High-point of the event include unveiling and launching of the alumni’s magazine, coordinated by the association’s President World-Wide, and Chairman of Channels TV, Dr. John Momoh.

Ogunbodede said: “One major obstacle is that people often hold on tenaciously to what they are familiar with and act only on things they know. They are understandably wary of breaking new grounds and venturing into the ‘unknown’. Unfortunately, what we know doesn’t seem to work anymore and the educational system before us requires that we take a different approach.

UNILAG Vice Chancellor Prof Oluwatoyin Ogundipe said the school’s structure remains intact in spite of several attempts to alter it.

According to him, “The VC of UNILAG can manage any university in the world but a Vice Chancellor from Harvard or Oxford University may not successfully manage any university in Nigeria.”

Breaking: ASUU Threatens Fresh Strike Over IPPIS, Others

July 25, 2021 No Comments

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has threatened to resume the industrial action it suspended since December 2020 over the Federal Government’s alleged failure to honour many of the agreements it signed with the Union.

The Chairperson, ASUU, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Dr. Ibrahim Inuwa, stated this while speaking with select journalists at the Union’s Secretariat.

He said the protracted strike, which was to press home their demands for the continuous survival of public university system in Nigeria, was suspended in December after the two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the various issues providing timelines for the implementation of each of the eight items.

Inuwa, who said that over seven months after the MoU was signed, only two out of the eight issues have been addressed, listed some of the issues to include Earned Academic Allowance, Funding for revitalisation of public universities, Salary shortfall, Proliferation of state universities and Visitation Panel.

Others, he added, are Renegotiation, Replacement of the Integrated payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) with the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) and withheld salaries and non-remittance of Check-off Dues but “only salary shortfall and visitation panels to federal universities have been addressed.”

He said, “Renegotiation of the 2009 agreement which would have been completed within eight weeks from the date of inauguration of the committee has up till now not been concluded, even though the Committee was inaugurated since December 2020.

Check this out: Top 10 Countries to Study Computer Science

“The Federal Government of Nigeria willingly agreed that the UTAS will replace the IPPIS as a payment platform in Federal Universities after it passed an integrity test. However, soon after the agreement, agents of the FGN are doing everything possible to frustrate the coming of UTAS onboard.

“Meanwhile the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation through the IPPIS office have continued to omit our members from payment of salaries while others experience serious salary amputation. We are convinced this is done in connivance with the University Administration through the distortion of our members’ personal details.

You may want to see: Cost of living in Germany for Students

“In the meantime, IPPIS appears to be the corruption headquarters of the Federal Civil service, as exemplified by double payment of salaries to employees, payment of salaries to non-employees, over taxation, dubious amputation of salaries, etc.”

Inuwa stated that the body language of the federal government on the proliferation of State Universities shows that they are not willing to put a stop to it stressing that instead, the federal government itself has joined in the Proliferation of Universities ignoring the obvious challenges of funding.

He further stated that it is obvious to the Union that the OAGF is deliberately omitting its members from payment of Salaries and withholding check off dues as a ploy for victimization and coercion to enroll ASUU members into IPPIs.

“This plague,” he said, “has been evident across all Federal Universities in Nigeria since February, 2020. This to us is an outright act of ingratitude on the part of the Government for the sacrifices members of ASUU are making in order to establish a progressive nation. A clear case of punishing citizens for being patriotic.”

Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that Again, ASUU threatens to embark on fresh indefinite strike

Inuwa declared that “Enough is enough. ASUU is fed up with deceptive antics of the federal government of Nigeria.

“The University Campuses are becoming restive across the length and breadth as Academics are threatening to shut down activities once again. This is coming as a result of the failure of the FGN to implement many aspects of the memorandum of Action it willingly signed with ASUU that ended the last strike in December, 2020.

“Given the glaring and deliberate failure of Government to honour the agreement it willingly signed with the Union, it is becoming obvious that industrial harmony is gradually being destroyed in the University Campuses.

“We, therefore, call on well-meaning Nigerians to wake up the FGN from its slumber to avoid another disruption of academic activities on Universities Campuses across the nation” adding that “the atmosphere is tensed and charged.”

Cost of living in Germany for Students

July 14, 2021 No Comments

While many students can study in Germany for free, living expenses are unavoidable. The cost of living in Germany is more expensive in certain areas – Munich, for example, is considered the most expensive German city to live in. The average monthly living cost in Germany for a student is around €850 (~US$962).

Living in Germany, rent will be your largest monthly expenses, though it is cheaper if you live in a shared flat (average rent of €280/~US$340 per month) or a student hall of residence (€234/~US$290 per month).

€168 (~US$205) for food
€42 (~US$52) for clothes
€94 (~US$115) for transport
€31 (~US$38) for telephone, internet and TV license
€20 (~US$25) for work/study materials
€61 (~US$75) for leisure activities.

You won’t need a visa to study in Germany if you’re an EU national or a citizen of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. Otherwise, expect to pay €75 (~US$85) for your student visa, but there are also fee reductions or waivers for Schengen visas. In order to fulfill the visa requirements, you will need to show proof you have, or have access to, around € 10,236 (~US$11,582) per year.

You will also need health insurance as a pre-condition of registering at a German university. If you’re a resident of a country within the EU or EEA, there should be a social security agreement between your country and Germany. This means that if you have public health insurance, you should be covered in Germany as well. If your health insurance isn’t valid in Germany, expect to pay around €80 (~US$97) per month to cover this.
