JAMB Sets 2015 Date For General Computer-based Exam

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has given 2015 as the deadline for phasing out the paper and pencil method of examination in the country.

The Board advised prospective university candidates to make adequate use of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities that abound in the country ahead of the deadline.

JAMB registrar Prof Dibu Ojerinde made this disclosure in Akure, the Ondo State capital, yesterday at the computer-based testing programme organised by the examination body for secondary school students in the town.

Ojerinde, who led other JAMB officials on the trip, told newsmen that the purpose of the exercise was to make the students see that there was no big deal about computer-based examinations.

Disclosing that the paper and pencil tests are gradually being phased out, the JAMB registrar disclosed that all JAMB examinations will be computer-based from year 2015.

While thanking the management of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), for allowing the board to use its facilities for the advocacy test and the authorities of the secondary schools that participated for releasing their students for the exercise, he expressed happiness at the performance of the students.

“This shows to them that the computer-based test is easy as food they take; in fact, anybody who can use a handset should be able to do the test. As you can see this idea today, over 100 of them did it, even some of their teachers participated and there is no problem at all.

“What we are saying is that the computer-based test is the key and it is the way to go now. Things are changing, if you don’t change, you can be changed; that is how life is, but what we are saying is that technology has changed things and we are moving with the trend,” he said.

Ojerinde who was of the view that the exercise was worthwhile, said the 10 schools that participated have seen its importance, noting that the train of the board would move to Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo (ACE) from Tuesday (Today) “where we are going to do a little bit of advocacy test but mainly,we are going for admission of candidates into Polytechnics, Innovative Enterprises Institute (IEI) and we are expecting about 350 to 400 candidates to be tested there for their admission.

“We did that of UNIUYO about 4weeks ago, and the first set to do admission into polytechnics through this means will take place at Adeyemi, also that of the Colleges of Education will take place there.

While assuring that the security of the new electronic method of examination would not be compromised, Ojerinde said, “You can only hack what you know in technology and unfortunately many people don’t know what we are doing here even the college we are using don’t know what we are doing and we do not go through their server, therefore we transfer it to the terminal and after the whole thing we take it back from our terminal.

“The only way to hack this is if you have our server which is not possible, bacause we have a procedure to protect our server. Hacking is only possible through the internet okay,and this one is not going through the internet at all.

Emphasising on the readiness of the board for computer based examinations he stated that “2015 is the end of all paper test.

Everybody will have to do computer based test come 2015. Of cause anybody who want to do JAMB in Akure must do it with computer, if you don’t want computer based test you go else where, where there is no computer, but since we have facilities here and we have also at Adeyemi College, I don’t see any reason why we should have paper and pencil test in any town near this place during the next examination.

“Though not all state capitals are good enough for this exercise in terms of facilities, but wherever the facilities are, we will not hesitate to make good use of them.

“For instance, Ondo is not the state capital of Ondo state but we are lucky to Adeyemi College there, FUTA is in Akure, we also have Elizade University at Ilara Mokin and we have Rufus Giwa Polytechnic in Owo, so the facilities are there and we are going to encourage many candidates as possible to do computer based test, even if we have 3million candidates in 2015, we have enough facilities for them.

Computer Based Test will limit examination malpratice in JAMB - Ojerinde

Ondo – The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday said that the introduction of Computer-Based Test (CBT) in its examinations would curbexamination malpractice.
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, JAMB’s Registrar, said this in Ondo at the first technical meeting of the board on 2013/2014 admission to Nigeria National Diploma and National Innovative Diploma awarding institutions.
The meeting took place at Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.
Also JAMB has commenced the inspection of schools which would be used as CBT centres in the state.
Ojerinde said that CBT was also a way of making the candidates to be ICT-compliant.
He said that CBT would make the results of any examination conducted by JAMB to be ready within a week.
“We have gone digital in JAMB. What we are going to do now is to make use of computers and within a week, the results will be on the Internet.
“Unlike before when we were using the analogue style; the new scheme will stop malpractice,” he said.
Ojerinde, however, noted that everybody now wanted to go to the university to obtain degrees, adding: “Obtaining a degree is not the only way to make it to the top.
“We are encouraging as many people as possible to develop interest in technical education and entrepreneurial education,” he said.
Also speaking, Prof. Adeyemi Idowu, the Provost, Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, lauded JAMB for devising strategies to curb examination malpractice through the introduction of CBT.
“The recent introduction of computer-based examination is one giant stride which I believe, as time goes on, will drastically reduce the spate of examination malpractice,” he added.
In his remark, Prof. Femi Mimiko, the Vice-Chancellor, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, said that the introduction of CBT by JAMB would make Nigerians to be ICT-compliant.
“Ojerinde’s tenure has brought about an uncommon transformation in JAMB; it gives hope that Nigeria has ability to transform itself,’’ he said. (NAN)

Ten Graduate Engineering Careers

Ten Graduate Engineering Careers

Completing a degree in engineering is one of the best ways to begin a career almost anywhere in the world. Not only is an engineering graduate held in high regard by businesses and societies in every continent, they are almost always vital to the growth of a company.
The field of engineering is so large that almost every industry has a need for engineers, or at the very least the products and services that they create and supply. Here we take a look at the top ten careers available to you following and engineering degree.

1. Aerospace Engineer
This is perhaps one of the most glamorous forms of engineering because at the end of the day, it is actually rocket science. Aerospace Engineers are responsible for the research, design, development and testing of aircraft and spacecraft, the former known as aeronautics and the latter astronautics depending on whether the craft operate inside or outside Earth’s atmosphere.
Both require a detailed knowledge of aerodynamics, materials sciences and manufacturing as well as a real-world appreciation for the financial targets to be met in order to keep projects feasible. With some of the largest and wealthiest companies in the world employing aerospace engineers, the salaries can be extremely attractive.

2. Naval Architect
Responsible for some of the largest mobile objects in the world from oil tankers and cargo ships to offshore drilling platforms, naval architecture is a branch of engineering that involves the research, design, construction and use of marine structures and vessels.
As with aerospace engineering, the naval architect requires a comprehensive knowledge of the forces of nature that will act upon the craft and structures that they are creating, as well as the materials, construction process and layout needed to make it suitable for human use.
Traditionally naval architecture was more craft that science, however the sheer scale of todays cruise liners, aircraft carriers and oil rigs means that a thorough grounding in engineering is the only way to start a career as a naval architect.

3. Nanoengineer
At the other end of the scale from naval architecture is the field of nanoengineering, which is literally the practice of engineering on a nanoscale – a billionth of a metre.
Whilst invisible to the naked eye, nanoengineering and nanotechnology have emerged as one of the most important fields of engineering in the last decade, with huge implications for medicine and energy research – particularly sources of environmentally friendly fuels.
The University of Toronto in Canada was the location of one of the first courses in nanoengineering, with others emerging in Germany, Denmark and the US.

4. Nuclear Engineer
Although the first thought that come to mind when someone says ‘nuclear engineer’ is either power stations or military weapons, and increasing number of technologies have come to rely on the field of nuclear engineering as part of their day-to-day operations.
Hospital equipment such as x-rays, MRI machines and PET scanners were all developed by nuclear engineers, although the nuclear power and military industries continue to expand as fossil fuels make way for nuclear technology.

5. Computer Engineer
Working in computer engineering will often involve the combining of electronic engineering with software and computer science technology. Computer engineers are frequently involved in developing hardware components alongside the programs that will operate on them, as can be seen in household names such as Apple and Google.
It is also common to specialize as either a computer software engineer, responsible for designing and developing software, programs, applications as well as building intranets for companies, or a computer hardware engineer researching, constructing and testing circuit boards, microprocessors and routers.

6. Structural Engineer
Structural engineering is one of the oldest forms of engineering on the planet, dating back to the Ancient Egyptians and the construction of the pyramids, but it is equally in demand for the manufacture of high tech structures such as the International Space Station.
At its core, structural engineering deals with the load-bearing properties of structures and is one of the most universally applied forms of engineering required around the world for projects such as buildings and dams as well as roads, railways other mechanical structures.

7. Power Engineer
A sub-field of electrical engineering as well as being a part of energy engineering, power engineering concentrates on the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical power around the world.
Recently specialisations within the field have become more and more popular as climate change becomes an important factor in energy consumption, leading to increased research and funding for hybrid cars and clean energy sources. It is also increasingly being used in household applications such as inductive or wireless charging using electromagnetic fields.

8. Vehicle Engineering
A vehicle engineer is responsible for combining mechanical, electrical, software and safety engineering to design and develop cars, motorbikes, buses and trucks as engineering products.
With over 84 million vehicles produced in 2012 alone, this is one of the largest engineering sectors in the world and offers a wide choice of disciplines and specialties ranging from safety testing to software development as well as economy, durability and emissions, as well as the cutting edge technology being developed by vehicle engineers in the formula one racing world.

9. Mechatronics
Originally created as a merging of the fields between mechanics and electronics, mechatronics has since evolved to include computer engineering and control engineering to create entire systems that improve overall functionality.
These automated systems include industrial robots and antilock braking systems as well as everyday items such as autofocus cameras and the more extraordinary such as planetary expedition rovers like NASA’s Mars rover, Curiosity.
Mechatronics also include bio mechatronics, incorporating mechanical parts with a human being, such as prosthetic limbs.

10. Biological Engineer
The field of biological engineering is closely allied to the sciences of biology and chemistry, and seeks to use molecular biology to advance the development of living organisms.
This has a wide range of applications in the medical industry, ranging from developing inoculations and pharmaceuticals through to the mapping of the human genome.
Biological engineers also work in areas such as food production where vital work is being done to create disease-resistant food sources for the expanding human population.

Why FG wants ASUU strike to continue - Theophilus Ilevbare

Nigerian universities have been buffeted with agonising months of strikes for over a decade and until now, the story is pretty much the same. Government is still unwilling to give the education sector a shot in the arm.

Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, have been on strike since June 30 and has dialogued with FG over 11 times, albeit, inconclusively. This underscores the lukewarm posture of government towards the striking lecturers and from ASUU’s body language and utterances, they have made it abundantly clear to anyone who cares to listen that they are ready to continue the strike even if it takes years, insisting that their decision was adequately taken in a bid to revitalise Nigerian universities.

The bone of contention is lucid in itself. An agreement was reached in 2009 that all federal universities would require a total sum of N1.5 trillion spread over three years (2009-2011) to address the rot and decay in the universities. But, in the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed between the union and the government in 2012, FG decided to extend the gesture to include both federal and state universities. After the 2012 review, it was agreed that instead of N1.5 trillion, FG would infuse a total of N1.3 trillion into the universities over four years. Almost four years down the line, FG has refused to fulfill its end of the bargain. Rather than respond to the issues raised by the union that would ensure quick resolution to the imbroglio, government boycotted ASUU to summon a meeting with Pro-Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors of universities, offering them N130billion with a matching order to lecturers to resume work immediately. But the union is insisting that by throwing money at universities in that manner, government has repudiated the 2009 agreement it entered freely with the union and the 2012 MoU. ASUU is not making any fresh demand but has maintained that the 2009 agreement must be honoured.

It is ridiculous that government officials were quoted as saying ASUU’s N1.3 trillion demand is capable of shutting down the country. No. Their insatiable and rapacious greed will. The private jets in the presidential fleet can fly, centenary celebrations is a priority to government, there’s enough money to pay humongous salaries and allowances to federal legislators and other political office holders, enough to forfeit to oil subsidy thieves, enough to pay militants bogus amnesty cheques and phantom contracts while they continue to bunker our crude oil like never before, there’s enough money to beg Boko Haram to accept amnesty but there is no money for law abiding Nigerian students who want to eke out a living using university education as a stepping stone. It is this kind of attitude from the government that provokes the use of brute force by some regional groups to attract government’s attention to their problems.

Government cannot claim it has no money to fulfill this agreement. A country with 109 senators earning about N19.6 billion a year, while N51.8 billion is spent on members of House of Representatives for the same period, totaling N71.4 billion. This sum, N71.4 billion, represents 17.8 per cent of the N400bn yearly intervention fund recommended by the Committee on Needs Assessment of Nigerian Universities. Surely, our lecturers and universities where they were trained deserve more.

When we talk of heath care, government official and the ruling elite go abroad for medical attention; we talk bad roads, they fly private jets; we talk power, they run their homes on 24-7 alternative electricity source; now we’re talking Education, their wards are in some of the best universities abroad. There is no way the myriad of problems bedeviling the country can be tackled if the political elite don’t feel the pangs.

That Mr President has taken out time from his ‘busy’ schedule to constantly parley with the warring factions of his party, PDP, but has never sat down with ASUU members to chart a course for Nigeria’s leaders of tomorrow clearly shows his priorities. Party affairs and chasing perceived enemies of his 2015 ambition around with apparatus of state are far more important things than bending over backwards to pander to the demands of the striking lecturers.

But then, government must take into cognisance the fact that, the longer the students remain at home, chances are that they will be lured into social vices. The aftermath can be disastrous for the state.

There are misplaced calls in the some quarters for ASUU to be ‘reasonable’, accept FG’s offer and return to classrooms. Others lambast them for being self-centered and unpatriotic. It is unfortunate that Nigerians are always looking for quick fix solutions to monumental problems. Less endowed countries like Ghana, Botswana and Angola are making giant strides on all fronts because the citizenry have at one point or the other insisted that the needful be done. Here, anything thrown at us is accepted with glee.

We must get our priorities right as a country. Government must curb its own excesses. Education must be given the attention it deserves. Education of the citizenry should not be subjected to any form of Negotiation. Negotiating the education of our leaders of tomorrow is more or less negotiating the future of the country.

Government deliberately wants the strike to linger, first, to blackmail the opposition. There have been several unsavoury comments from the government’s divide of the negotiation table that ASUU has been infiltrated by moles from the opposition, alleging that the strike has lingered to gain political capital. That is how low this government can stoop. We have seen it before. It is an irresponsible and shameless government, one that lacks integrity and honesty that will blame the opposition for all its woes. It is unbecoming for the government of the day to continue to heap its failure on the doorstep of the opposition and ASUU strike is just another avenue to paint the opposition black before the public.

Second, is to send a strong signal to other unions who might be contemplating similar action to have a rethink. Perhaps, government thinks by acceding to ASUU’s demands, other Labour unions might toe the same path at the slightest excuse.

Third, the ultimate aim of government is to paint a bad image of the association to Nigerians, at least, for as long as the strike persists. The Governor Suswan-led NEEDS Report Implementation Committee mediating on behalf of the government has unfortunately taken a position that is false, dishonest, and calculated to misinform the public and cause disaffection towards the union. Rather than seek cheap popularity, Governor Suswan and the rest of the FG team should tow the part of honour by asking President Goodluck Jonathan to honour the 2009 agreement. There’s no basis for turning the heat on ASUU and the campaign of calumny.

It calls for worry, that same government that has always maintained that ‘our graduates are unemployable’ and our universities churn out ‘half-baked graduates’ find it difficult to commit the much needed funds to revamp the universities.

ASUU Strike Latest: We are tired – NANS

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on well meaning Nigerians to prevail on members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities to call off their three months old strike in the interest of Nigerian students who are currently idling away.

The Union noted that it could no longer continue to tolerate the protracted strike which has perpetually made Students irrelevant and idle.

Addressing a news conference in Akure, the Ondo State capital, NANS National President, Comrade Yinka Gbadebo urged the striking lecturers to call off the strike in the interest of building intellectual capacity for National development which is sacrosanct to the future of the country.

Gbadebo who was flanked by the union’s National Financial Secretary, Comrade Timileyin Ayenuro, an indigene of Ondo State, said it has become imperative for the students to call on ASUU to reconsider its present adamant stand on the continued closure of the Universities.

He said,”We must as Nigerians accept that the problem with our Universities have developed over decades and would therefore be unimaginable that ASUU with its present stand want it totally resolved within a spate of four years that this agreement was signed.

“Objectively, ASUU is expected to expect that the demand for an unproved standard of education in Nigeria shall continue as long as our quest for development as a Nation remains on our investment in the Education sector.

“We hereby disagree with ASUU on the notion that a release of N400 billion per annum as been demanded will face out the mirage of problems confronting the education sector in Nigeria today.

‘While the Government in an unprecedented manner had shown responsibility and concern by releasing N100 billion for infrastructural development in our Universities including State owned, ASUU should reconsider their position”.

Gbadebo said the agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU is frivolous and self-serving to the interest of the striking lecturers alone.

He pointed out that it has become imperative for the Government and ASUU to understand the significant position of Nigerian Students before entering into any agreement.

He added, “While we may not want to go deep into other details of the Federal Government and ASUU agreement which are hitherto considered by us as frivolous and self-serving to the interest of ASUU alone, it is expected that ASUU must at this point bring to the fore the interest of Nigerian Students whom they have been claiming to be fighting for by engaging the Federal Government in further dialogue, while returning to class without hesitation.

” NANS is no longer comfortable with the attendant consequence of the incessant strike on the lives of Nigerian Students and social implication on the society at large.

“If cumulatively in the last 10 years we have lost 30months to strikes by ASUU which is enough to produce a graduate in our Universities, then the question is what have been the gains and the potency of strikes as a weapon when Students are always at the receiving end.

“We are now calling on every well meaning Nigerians to prevail on ASUU to resume negotiations with the Federal Government and reopen the Universities without any further delays. We can no longer continue to tolerate this situation which has perpetually made us irrelevant at the point of arriving at these conclusions by ASUU and the Federal Government”. 

Message from ASUU President

Dear Comrades, As the struggle to save Nigerian University system is being pursued, I'll like to salute all our members for their resoluteness in ensuring that the 2009 ASUU/Government Agreement is implemented in accordance with the Roadmap defined by the 2012 MoU. We believe very strongly that the rot and decay in the University System is not only arrestable but also reversible. We believe even more strongly that, the key to turning round the University System lies in the sincere implementation of the Agreement.

What government has so far been doing is no more than a repeat performance of a one-act-play: all the deceptions, propaganda, lies, mischiefs and such other Shenanigans were tried by previous Governments, including Military Juntas, but our resolve to save the University System and our Country remained unwaivered. We will continue to carry the banner of this struggle to its logical conclusion. I urge all our members to maintain the spirit of camaraderie and remain firmly resolute in ensuring that our patriotic struggle succeeds. United we Bargain, Divided we Beg!

Youngest college student ever?Meet the 11-year-old child studying quantum physics

An 11-year-old child prodigy has started his first semester in college.
Accepted when he was only 10, Carson Huey-You is attending Texas Christian University majoring in quantum physics. The youngster was co-valedictorian of his senior class and scored a
1770 on his SAT, speaks Mandarin Chinese and played the piano in the Admissions Center, according to the campus newspaper. Though impressive, Huey-You is not the youngest-ever college student.
Huey-You is so young that he could not apply online, the software would not accept an applicant born in 2002, TCU360 reported.

Genius: Carson Huey-You, 11, who is studying quantum physics at TCU
Enrolled in four classes, the whiz kid commutes to campus with his mother carrying his books as he shuttles from class to class, according to WFAA.
‘It’s not like I’m leaving him here to stay in dorms and join a fraternity,’ mother Claretta Huey-You told WFAA.
Huey-You is expected to graduate when he’s 16, a full year younger than the previous youngest-ever student at TCU, according to TCU 360. He enrolled in four classes during his first semester at TCU.
‘‘I’m taking calculus, physics, history and religion. Those are my four classes,’ Huey-You told CBS DFW.
The young genius could read by age 1, and was doing pre-algebra by age 5 – he relaxes by doing algebra, according to CBS DFW.
Professors are already singing his praises.

‘He’s definitely very talented and also he’s very serious about his work and he really enjoys it.  And that’s the best that a professor can hope for his students, right?’ Associate math professor Qao Zhang said to CBS DFW.
Still adjusting to college, Carson Huey-You told TCU 360 that his first week ‘was overwhelming but exciting and fun.’
Perhaps motivated by her son taking on college, Claretta Huey-You plans to return to school to study nursing, she told TCU 360. The 11-year-old’s brother is also gifted and expected to graduate high school when he is 13.
If all goes as planned, Carson Huey-You will have his college degree before he has his driver’s license. Though impressive, he isn’t the youngest-ever college student.
That distinction belongs to Michael Kearney. Kearny graduated San Mateo High School in 1990 when only six-years-old. At age 10 he had earned his bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of South Alabama. His master’s degree in biochemistry was awarded when he was 14-years-old. Kearney was teaching college at only 17.
