Send all `authentic’ graduates to NYSC, VCs tell universities

The Committee of Vice-Chancellors (CVC)
has urged universities to upload the
names of all eligible graduates for the
2016 Batch `B’ of the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC).
A statement by CVC on Tuesday in Abuja
said that the committee’s stance was
sequel to its meeting with the Director-
General of NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Sule Kazaure.

The statement was co-signed by Prof.
Adebiyi Daramola, CVC’s President and
Prof. Michael Faborode, the committee’s
Secretary-General.
NYSC had in a memo to universities
recently, directed them to cut their
mobilisation for the scheme by 60 per cent
due to financial constraints.
The CVC said that the stakeholders agreed
with NYSC that paucity of funds was
responsible for the slash in the percentage
of mobilisation.
It said that its meeting resolved “that all
authentic graduates of universities be
uploaded by universities for NYSC to
mobilise as appropriate.
“All universities are expected to comply
immediately and ensure that graduates of
part-time programmes and over-aged
graduates are not included in their list.
“The CVC and the Association of Vice-
Chancellors of Nigerian Universities
(AVCNU) plead with the government and
the National Assembly to provide
resources needed for full mobilisation to
stave off impending problem of partial
mobilisation.
“We appeal to all graduates and
prospective corps members to show
understanding and exercise restraint while
awaiting further directives from NYSC.’’
The statement said that the CVC meeting
with NYSC authorities was preceded by
one with the Executive Secretary of the
National Universities Commission on the
issue.

AAUA ASUU M.O.U WITH THE MANAGEMENT 2016

The Congress of ASUU-AAUA met today, 11th October, 2016, to discuss the outcome of the signing of the MoU between the University Administration/Council of Adekunke Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Adekunke Ajasin University Chapter, in relation to the withdrawal of service action by the Union, aimed at pushing for the payment of outstanding salary and deductions.
The Chairperson informed members that the MoU, which was ratified at the Congress meeting of Wednesday 5th October, 2016, had been signed by the designated signatories appointed to represent the two parties. Arising from this, the Congress resolved to IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND the withdrawal of service action by ASUU-AAUA that was commenced on 4th July, 2016, with the strong belief that the University Administration/Council will religiously abide by the provisions of the MoU, to avoid a resumption of the suspended action.
The Congress further discussed very important ancillary matters that touch on the good health and wellbeing of the University, and thereafter resolved as follows:
1. That the earlier resolution on the appointment of Deans and HODs should be reaffirmed. To this end, Congress condemned the appointment of acting HODs and Deans during the last withdrawal of service action, and further resolved that the appointment of Deans and HODs should be democratized not later than 7 working days after the suspension of the withdrawal of service action.
2. That in conformity with the earlier resolution of Congress, the idea of appointing contract staff to academic and directorial offices should be discontinued IMMEDIATELY, to allow tenured academic staff grow on the job and impact positively on the University.
3. That in line with the earlier resolutions of the Congress, the University Administration should desist from appointing academic members above 70 years of age. Congress noted that the continuous appointment of academics above 70 years is in total disregard to the ASUU/FGN 2009 Agreement and the Ondo State Government existing White Paper and official Gazette. Congress was of the opinion that this disregard must end forthwith. 
4. That the University Administration should emplace the process for the 2015/2016 promotion exercise, with a view to giving members reasonable enough time to process their documents. Congress was also worried about the promotion criterion that requires academic staff to attend an international conference within a promotional year. This is in view of the financial difficulties being faced by members, and the inability of the University Administration to guarantee full sponsorship to members. Congress, therefore, resolved that the University Administration must continue to ensure full sponsorship of members to attend international conferences, and must be ready to drop this criterion if such sponsorship could no longer be guaranteed. Congress was of the opinion that disadvantaging members of the Union based on their inability to attend conferences due to lack of sponsorship must not be encouraged.     
The Congress meeting, therefore, called on the University Administration to abide by these long-standing resolutions in the interest of industrial peace and harmony in the University. The Congress similarly stressed that the Union will not hesitate to use every legal instrument available to it to push for a total compliance with these resolutions in order for the University to remain virile, healthy, focused and progressive.

Solidarity forever
Aluta continua!

Dr. Sola FAYOSE

Arms: How EFCC Traces N4.75bn to Obanikoro’s Sons

The Task Force investigating the alleged diversion of
$2.1bn meant for arms procurement under the immediate
past administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has
embarked on a discrete investigation into the former
Minister of State for Defence, Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro.
It was gathered that the team of EFCC investigators had
traced the sum of N4.75bn to the account of Silva
McNamara Limited with Diamond Bank with links to the
family of the former minister.
A top operative of the commission, who confided in our
correspondent, said that the company had two sons of the
former minister on its board.
The names of the relatives on the company’s board are
Gbolahan Obanikoro and Babajide Obanikoro.
It was stated that the duo were on the board of the company
till 2014 when one Olalekan Ogunseye became the sole
signatory to the company’s account.
Investigations revealed that the funds were paid into the
McNamara account from the Central Bank of Nigeria
Imprest Account of the National Security adviser between
June 6, 2014 and December, 12, 2015.
The breakdown of the lodgements of funds into the account
during the six months period revealed that N200m was paid
into the account on June 6, 2014; N2bn on June 16, 2014;
N60m on July 6, 2014 and N7, 000m on July 7, 2014.
Other lodgements into the account within the period include
the payment of N1bn on July 30, 2014; N160m on August 8,
2014; N225m on August 22, 2014; N200m on November,
14, 2014 and N200m on December, 5, 2014.
The source said that the commission was probing the
payment of N4.75bn to McNamara because the funds were
released without any contractual evidence.
It was however stated that Obanikoro’s name was not
found in the transactions as he was not on the board of the
company.
It was stated that efforts are being made to unravel the
mystery behind the payment of the large amount of money
to the company which has two of his sons as members of
the board of directors.
Our correspondent could not get the Head of Media and
Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, to comment on
the story as the calls to his mobile telephone line did not
connect.
In his response, however, a media aide to Obanikoro, Mr.
Jonathan Eze, denied allegations that the former minister
was involved in any fraud.
He said all the allegations were mere speculations and
urged members of the public to treat them as such.
He said, “As far as Senator Obanikoro is concerned, these
are mere allegations that have not been proven and can
never be proved. The former minister insists that his
children were never directors at the company and were
never signatories.
