images (4)


STRUCTURE:

  • Programmes of courses are provided in each school leading to Bachelor Degree

  • Instruction shall be by courses evaluated in terms of course units. A course unit is defined as a series of about fifteen one-hours lecture or series of about forty-five hours of laboratory work, or any equivalent work load, offered over one semester of 15 weeks. The following terms shall apply in evaluation:



  1.  Grade Point (GP) – the Grade Point derives from the actual percentage, raw score for a given course; the raw score is converted into letter grade (A to F) and a grade point (5 to 0).

  2. Total Grade Point (TGP) - this derives from multiplying the grade point by the unit per course.

  3. Total Number of Unit (TNU)- this is obtained by adding up all the units taken by the student in the semester

  4. Grade-Point Average (GPA)- Performance in any semester is reported in Grade Point Average. The GPA is obtained by multiplying the GP attained in each courses by the number of Unit assigned to that course and then summing these up and dividing by the total number of units taken for the semester.

  5. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)-  this is the up-to-date mean of the Grade Point earned  by the student in a programme of study. It is an indication of the students overall performance at any point in training programme. To compute the CGPA, total GP  multiplied by the trespective Course Unit for all the semesters are added and then divided by the total number of unit  for all courses registered by the student.

How to Prevent Kidney Disease

Diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, has become so common that diabetic kidney disease (nephropathy) has leaped ahead of high blood pressure as the leading cause of kidney failure in much of the world.


Kidney failure is a serious matter: The kidneys’ job is to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood circulating through our bodies. If the kidneys fail, survival depends on either dialysis (being hooked up to a machine to do the kidneys’blood-filtering) or a kidney transplant.
High blood glucose levels can damage blood vessels all over the body, including the tiny blood vessels that do the kidneys’ filtering. When those tiny vessels are damaged, they can’t do the job correctly. High blood pressure can result and make the problem worse, damaging more blood vessels and speeding up the progression of kidney disease.
Both kidneys are affected.
Though 20-40 percent of those with diabetes develop kidney disease, it can be slowed significantly if diagnosed early and treated.
Prescription for Kidney Health
Five principles should be followed by everyone with diabetes to help prevent and treat kidney problems:
*.Tight control of blood glucose levels (A1C less than 7 percent)
*.Tight control of blood pressure: aim for lower than 130/80
*.Control of lipids: LDL (“bad”) cholesterol should be less than 100 mg/dl, HDL (“good”) cholesterol should be above 50 mg/dl and triglycerides should be less than 150 mg/dl
*.No cigarette smoking
*.Blood pressure-lowering drugs, such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), are effective in protecting the kidney from damage if you have signs of diabetic kidney disease.

The Earlier You Know, the Better
There are no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic kidney disease. Symptoms of kidney failure—fatigue, nausea and fluid retention—usually don’t occur until the late stages of kidney disease because the kidney can still adequately filter the blood even after extensive damage.
Usually the first sign that the kidneys’ filtration system is damaged is an excess amount of protein in the urine, known as micro albuminuria. This is not just an early sign of kidney disease, but a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack and stroke.
Two tests—one using urine and the other blood—must be performed annually for early detection. The urine sample is used to screen for microalbuminuria. The standard urine dipstick used in doctors’ offices does not measure this—a special machine is required instead.
The blood sample is used to measure the level of creatinine, a substance normally present in the blood, which increases if your kidneys are not functioning properly. The blood sample results are then plugged into a formula that estimates your kidneys’filtering capacity. The most commonly used formula is called the MDRD equation.
One cannot overemphasize how important it is to measure your blood creatinine and to use the MDRD equation to estimate total kidney filtering. The creatinine value alone can be misleading, as it must be interpreted within the context of age and gender. Patients often have more advanced kidney disease than their blood creatinine value alone suggests.
For this reason, the National Kidney Foundation strongly urges all physicians to use the MDRD equation; however,not all (besides kidney specialists) routinely use it. An accurate estimate of your kidney function is essential for your doctor to decide what, if anything, needs to be done.
With aggressive treatment and yearly testing, we can greatly slow the decline in kidney function and reduce the number of people developing kidney failure.

ASUU strike: Suswam chairs Needs Committee

Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam
Pulpit rock



The Federal Government on Friday inaugurated the University Needs Implementation Committee headed by Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State.
The committee is to put inplace appropriate requirements for learning in all tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, said during the inauguration of the committee in Abuja that the major needs of all federal universities were identified by an assessment committee earlier set up to "assess and prioritise the needs of universities."
According to him, the report submitted by the Needs Assessment Committee mandates the inaugurated committee "to interface with all agencies providing funding support to the universities with the aim of appropriately channelling support to identified priorities,"
The Federal Government had set up the NAC to revitalise the physical infrastructure in the universities, with the aim of enhancing the Internally Generated Revenue base of the universities.
But the non-implementation of the report has pitted the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Non-Academic Staff Union and other trade unions in the nation's universities against the government.
Anyim said the committee's terms of reference included,"Simulating private sector investment into the public auniversities, monitoring progress of the projects implementation and produce quarterly reports for submission to the Federal Government and, intervention in any other matter that may be necessary to achieve the purpose of the Needs assessment."

FG, ASUU Meet, May Call Off Strike Next Week


IT seems an end to the prolonged strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) may be called off as the body and the Federal Government have come to a reasonable agreement.




Rising from a three-hour closed-door meeting held at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Friday, both parties achieved reasonable success in the negotiation as all issues except two were agreed on.
The Secretary to the Federal Government (SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim was at the head of the FG team along with the Education and Labour Ministers while ASUU’s team was led by its President, Dr Nasir Isa Fagge.
Briefing journalists afterwards, the Chairman, University Needs Implementation Committee, Gabriel Suswam said, “we agreed on all major issues except the issues of funding of the Universities or rather intervention and then the allowance of the University Lecturers. We believe that by next week the other issues would be resolved. Then, ASUU would probably call off the strike.”
The Benue State Governor added that the SGF is meeting on the issue of earn allowance on Monday while his committee, which is dealing with the Needs assessment implementation, would be meeting on Thursday to assess all the infrastructural deficits in the Universities.
“We are involving all the agencies that fund the universities - the CBN and all others. As soon as the two issues are resolved, we believe that the strike would be called off.
“The issues of retirement age, setting up a pension administrator, setting up of budget monitoring unit, persuading companies to setup research centres, among others, have being agreed on,” Suswam said.
“We agreed that all the funding agencies would meet on Thursday and we chart a way forward,” he noted.
Although the Chairman of ASUU refused to speak to the press in an obvious show of dissatisfaction, a source within ASUU said they did not expect the Federal Government to bring all the cards on the table at once so they are still keeping their fingers crossed for next week when their demands would be exhaustively tackled. “For now, the strike continues indefinitely,” the source said.
Earlier, in a bid to put up appropriate conditions necessary for academics in all tertiary institutions in Nigeria, the Federal Government has inaugurated the Universities Needs Implementation Committee, with a mandate to prioritise requisite exigencies.
At the inauguration yesterday in Abuja, the SGF,Anyim Pius Anyim said the major needs of all Federal Universities where identified by an assessment committee earlier set up to assess and prioritise the needs of universities.”
He said the report submitted by the Needs assessment Committee mandates the inaugurated Committee to “interface with all agencies providing funding support to the universities with the aim of appropriately channeling support to identified priorities.”
“Simulate private sector investment into the public universities, monitor progress of the projects implementation and produce quarterly report for submission to the federal government and, intervention in any other matter that may be necessary to achieve the purpose of the Needs Assessment,” he added.
This mandate stemmed from the observations earlier carried out, which noted that various countries fund tertiary institutions through varying approaches, some through budgetary allocations, non-budgetary interventions or private sector donations.
It would be recalled that the Federal Government set up the Need Assessment Committee to revitalise the physical infrastructure in the universities, with the aim of enhancing the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) base of the universities.

Since its establishment 22 years ago, the Imo State University (IMSU) has been operating without a students’ hostel.


Pulpit rock



It has now got one, courtesy of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), reports SamPson Unamka.
At last, we are on the road to freedom. I feel like a bird freed from the cage of shylock landlords and estate managers. It’s a great feeling seeing this magnificent structure built by the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, to free our students from the strangle-hold of private hostel developers.” That was how Ekene Ahaneku, the Students Union Director of Information, reacted in the building of an ultra-modern hostel for Imo State University (IMSU) by NDDC.
Ahaneku was celebrating with other students at the inauguration of the 174-room NDDC proto-type hostel at the university on July 18.
For the university, it was a dream come true considering its history of moving from one place to the other since inception in 1981. Its acting Vice Chancellor, Prof Ukachukwu Awuzie, who is a former president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), said the university was blessed to have its first students’ hostel from NDDC.
The university and the people of the state, he said, would remain grateful to NDDC for building the hostel, thanking the commission’s board, especially its Chairman, Dr. Tarilah Tebepah, who he described as a fellow comrade, for the gesture.
The hostel, he said, could not have come at a better time than now that the Imo government had approved the university’s permanent site. He said the hostel would help IMSU to upgrade to a residential university. “The non-residency status of the university has created untold hardships for our students who must pay very unrealistic and exorbitant rents for accommodation often far from the university, with the attendant transportation difficulties,” he said.
The jubilation that day was infectious. President of the Students’ Union Government (SUG) Comrade Chigozie Ogbu thanked NDDC for the hostel, which he said would provide convenience for the students and also boost their self-esteem.
After consulting with other board members, Tebepah approved the construction of a link road between the hostel and the campus and the building of a cafeteria in the hostel.
He said the commissioning of the hostel would pave the way for the handover of other completed projects in the Niger Delta region. The NDDC Managing Director, Dr. Christian Oboh, noted that the contractor delivered on time because there was peace in the university. He said President Goodluck Jonathan should be praised for empowering the commission to serve the people of the Niger Delta. He said: “The hostel project is NDDC’s contribution to the transformation agenda of Mr. President.”
The traditional ruler of Owerri, Eze Emmanuel Njemanze, said the wind of transformation blowing across the country had also reached his domain through the hostel.The hostel, he said, would provide the much-needed environment for the grooming of students in character and learning before they graduate.
He said: “I have no doubt that a suitable environment plays a key role in the character formation of people. In my view, the anti-social behaviour often exhibited by students of higher institutionsmay not be totally unrelated to the environment which theyfind themselves. Clearly, a good hostel accommodation will contribute to the sound intellectual and character formation of our children. The regulating body for university education in the country recognised this fact and initiated some studies to enable it get a full grasp of the situation. One of such inquiries by the National Universities Commission (NUC) sought to find out why Nigerian students fail to perform well when they leave the universities with supposedly good degrees.
“The studies brought out some interesting findings. The main reason for poor quality graduates was blamed on poor facilities and their conditions prevalent in the universities. In the main, lack of hostels in university campuses took a greater share of the blame. The “Preliminary Survey of Students’ Accommodation” by the NUC showed that the provision of hostel accommodation in Nigerian universities is below 30 percent average of the student population.”
Comrade Rafael Okwara, the President of the National Association of Imo State Students, said NDDC’s intervention in the IMSU accommodation crisis was timely. He said a situation where students were forced to live off-campus, made them susceptible to extraneous influences such as cultism andother vices

FG Opens Fresh Negotiations With ASUU

The Federal Government said on Tuesday that it was renegotiating the 2009 agreements it signed with the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, who are currently on strike.

Pulpit rock



The Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, stated this while answering questions from journalists after briefing members of the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party onthe activities of his ministry in Abuja.
The reason for the renegotiation, according to him, was to clear some grey areas in the agreements, which he said were put in place before the coming into office of the present government.
The nine-point agreements ASUU signed with the Federal government 2009 included funding requirements for revitalization of the Nigerian universities; Federal government assistance to state universities; establishment of NUPEMCO and progressive increase inannual budgetary allocation to education to 26 per cent between 2009 and 2020; and earned allowances.
The minister, who refused to say whether there was a particular area of the agreements that was not acceptable to the government, however pleaded with the university lecturers to return to the classroom.
Wogu said, “We are renegotiating the 2009 agreement which predate this administration. It therefore has to be renegotiated.
“However, while we are still talking, we are pleading with ASUU to go back to their work.”
Meanwhile, Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, has said lecturers of states and private universities should not join federal universities staff to embark on strike.
Aliyu said this in Minna on Tuesday when he received in audience members of the Governing board of the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, in Government House.
The governor argued that in a federation, what obtainsat the Federal level should not necessarily affect states, especially if the demands of the aggrieved lecturers were not the same.
He said, “The union at the centre cannot ask people at the state to go on strike. State universities are like private universities; they cannot go on strike just because their colleagues at the federal universities are on strike.”
Aliyu said he discussed the first convocation of the university with the visitors and the ongoing strike by members of ASUU.
Also, ASUU has called on Executive Secretary of the National Universities commission, Prof. Julius Okojie, to publicly declare his assets.
In a joint statement by the chairmen of the University of Calabar branch of the union, Dr. James Okpiliya and his Cross River State University of Technology counterpart, Dr. Nsing Ogar,the ASUU officials accused the NUC boss of fueling the crisis in the university system.
They noted that instead of addressing the issues in dispute, Okojie rather resorted to campaign of calumny against the union
