NECO DIRECTOR CAUGHT IN 5 BILLION NAIRA SCANDAL

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched a fresh probe into the alleged N5 billion scam rocking the National Examinations Council (NECO), while its Director of Finance, Mr. Ishola Isaac, has been arrested.

Registrar, NECO, Professor Promise Okpala, is also said to be on the radar of the anti-corruption agency. A source informed that the chairman of the anti-graft commission, Mrs. Farida Waziri, had instructed operatives handling the case to speed-up their investigation.
The operatives were said to have swooped on the Minna headquarters of the examinations body on Tuesday and arrested Isaac, who had been accused of colluding with Okpala to allegedly loot the examinations body.
After he was arrested, the operatives reportedly took him to Tundun Wada Police Station in Minna, before he was later driven to Alovera Hotel, also in the city.
The investigators were said to have conducted a search on the hotel, which is allegedly owned by Ishola. The EFCC operatives reportedly arrested Ishola, after they could not locate Professor Okpala, who was said to have been playing hide and seek with the commission's operatives.

The investigators, it was further learnt, also arrested and quizzed for several hours, one Mr. Sina Adetona, who is an assistant director in the registrar's office. The EFCC had, in June, quizzed five top officials of the examinations body over the scam.
They were Mr. Phillip Duru (Director of Exams Administration); Dr. Nasir Dantiye (Director of Corporate Support Services); Mr. Ishola Isaac (Director, Accounts/Finance); Gladys Iyabo Akinkuole (Director, Exams Development) and Adolph Nweke (Director, Quality Assurance).

JOB VACANCIES AT STANDARD ORGANISATION OF NIGERIA (SON)

The Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) is the sole statutory body that is vested with the responsibility of standardising and regulating the quality of all products in Nigeria.

When it was established by the General Yakubu Gowon military regime through Act 56 in 1971, it was called the Nigerian Standards Organisation (NSO).
The Act establishing the body was amended in 1976by the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo, in 1984 by the short-lived regime of Major General Muhammadu Buhari and in 1990 by the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida.
The original Act provided the body with the authority to specify and elaborate standards, as well as provide a quality assurance system for commodities, including manufactured, industrial and imported products and services. But the 1976 amendment to the Act conferred on the Minister of Industry the power to declare Mandatory Industrial Standards in respect of products or processes recommended by the Nigerian Standards Council.

The 1984 amendment to the original Act changed the name of the body from the Nigerian Standards Organisation (NSO) to the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) because the acronym, NSO, created confusion with a newly established security body known as the Nigerian Security Organisation. In 1990, the amendment of the Act conferred partial autonomy on the SON from the Ministry of Industry.

Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) is recruiting Graduates, Corpers, Interships

SWINE FLU VIRUS DETECTED IN NIGERIA

A medical laboratory in Lagos State has reported that the swine flu virus was detected in a Nigerian patient in July this year.

Pamela Ajayi, the managing director of Pathcare Laboratory, reported that the girl, whose name she withheld for ethical reasons, resides in America but came to spend her holidays in Nigeria. It was when she arrived in the country that she became critically ill with severe flu.
Dr. Ajayi said that was the only case that tested positive out of the 30 suspected cases sent to her laboratory since the pandemic but noted that there could have been a risk of infection to other people.
"There is Swine Flu in Nigeria. The reason the Federal Government is still saying there is none in Nigeria is because people are not testing." "If you do not test for it you wouldn't know whether there are or not," she said.
She reasoned that Nigerians are regular travellers and that it was likely that many had been in contact with the virus.
"With Lagos and Abuja being such international hubs, people travelling everywhere, it is not possible for us not to have Swine flu in Nigeria, because this disease can be easily imported."
Swine flu, also known as 2009 H1N1 influenza, is a human disease. People get the disease from other people, not from pigs. It was first reported in Mexico on April 16 2009 and has been confirmed to have claimed over hundreds lives, already.
Dr. Ajayi said when the incident happened in July, they had informed the World Health Organization and the Lagos State Ministry of Health.
"We informed them. But that is all we can do. The point we are trying to make is that in a country of 150 million people, we should not relax and say that there is no swine flu. People should test and test at a lab that can identify it," she added.
Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of Health has repeatedly assured Nigerians that there is no Swine Flu reported in the country.
Symptoms
Symptoms of H1N1 swine flu are like regular flu symptoms and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Many people with swine flu have had diarrhoea and vomiting. Nearly everyone with flu has at least two of these symptoms. But these symptoms can also be caused by many other conditions.
The Federal Government of Nigeria had made protective bags available at various hospitals and ports should the need arise for people to wear protective masks.

CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE:KANO PILLARS VS EL - MERREIKH

Kano Pillars vs El -Merreikh:
One of Nigeria's representatives in the group phase of the CAF Champions League, Kano Pillars Football Club, would play host to Sudan's El-Merreikh today at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.
The 2007/2008 Nigeria Premier League (NPL) champions started its first ever appearance in the group stage of Africa's elite club competition on a good note with a 1-1 draw away to Zesco United of Zambia about a fortnight ago.

In spite of a visa problem that threatened to end its working relationship with Slovenian coach, Ivan Sajh, during the week, the continental committee chairman of the club, Ibrahim Galadima, assured that the side would pick its first win of this year's championship.

However, players of Kano Pillars would be playing at their home ground for the first time after almost a year of relocating to Kaduna for Premier League matches due to renovation at the Sani Abacha Stadium for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup scheduled to hold between October and November this year in Nigeria.
Ghanaian coach of the club, Malik Jabir, said the long absence of the players from home would have no effect on their performance when they face their counterparts from Sudan today.
"It has been long since we left Kano to play our matches in Kaduna but that would not affect us at all. Instead, it will be to our advantage," said the former Ashante Kotoko head coach.

NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS THREATEN TO DISRUPT U-17 WORLD CUP

University students in Nigeria have threatened to disrupt the FIFA Under-17 World Cup competition that will hold in Nigeria in October and November if the government would by then still remain adamant to resolve the strike embarked upon by University teachers.

The West African Students Association (WASA) and the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) saidall students at home and abroad support the lecturers because they are demanding a total restructuring of the education sector and not only their improved welfare.

In the meantime, the two unions have suspended their proposed strike planned for next week after they met the National Association of Parent Teachers' Association of Nigeria (NAPTAN) in Kaduna on Thursday.

Both WASA National President, Daniel Onjeh, and NANS President, Bashir Babanlle, said: "The government's unwillingness to honour the agreements reached with ASUU since 2001 shows how (it) is treating the challenge of educational development with levity and without recourse to the fact that education is the bedrock of national development," they said.

The unions gave the government an ultimatum of one week to resolve the dispute and restore normal academic activities in the universities, failing which they would mobilise their members for a world record protest in Nigeria.

In line with the strike, the University of Benin chapter of the ASUU on Thursday backed out of the post-UME test of prospective students scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

The boycott was contained in a statement issued by the chapter Chairman, Kashetu Ilevbarhe, who described as appalling the decision of the UNIBEN administration to conduct the test in defiance of the industrial action.

ASUU President, Ukachukwu Awuzie, stressed at the University of Ibadan (UI) that the government is not helping the situation.

His words: "This struggle is not for us. It is for posterity. So, we should not fail in this struggle. What is the essence of having a university system when the academics cannot conduct good research, when the companies can no longer come to the universities for innovations because they have more equipment than the universities?"

Awuzie said a situation where no Nigerian university is rated among the best 5,000 in the world is not good for the country.

The National Association of Nigerian Female Students (NANFS) has appealed to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government of Nigeria to resolve their differences to enable them return to class, lamenting the stalemate is already turning some female students into prostitution.
President of NANFS, Miss Ifeoma Ofo who made the appeal in Abuja, said the protracted FG/ASUU face off has created many social vices amongst the university undergraduates in the country.

She said the almost three months industrial action embarked upon by ASUU has affected students serious and that both parties should see reasons to sheath their sword and resume talks with a view to reopening the schools.

“We appeal to ASUU and FG to reach agreement so that we can return to class and continue with our normal academic activities because further delay could be dangerous”, she said.

Blaming the Federal Government position on the current disruption of academic activities in the nation’s universities, the President, said the country is blessed with abundant resources to meet the demands of the striking ASUU.

According to her, “the association has observed with alarm the non-challant posture put up by the Federal Government over this strike”, wondering why the government should at this point in time refused to sign the agreement reached with ASUU in 2007.
