It’s time to rebuild UniJos —VC


The Vice- Chancellor of the University of Jos, Professor Sabastine Maimako has called on all its former students who bear the certificate of the institution to look back at their former school with a view of helping their alma mata.

Dr. Otsemobor who is currently undergoing a doctorate degree programme at the Faculty of Natural Science has all alone undertaken the renovation of the faculty building at the main campus, Bauchi Road Jos.

The VC made the call in a remark during the inauguration of the renovated building. Represented by Professor Lami Lumbin, the VC said, “UniJos can boast of its former students that are doing well in their various fields of endeavour across the world.

“While the former graduands are making personal progress using the knowledge acquired from the school, the school itself is lacking in several infrastructural facilities.”

He further stressed “So I will used this opportunity to inaugurate a project carried out by an alumni to call on others that graduated from this institution to try and come back to their former school and see the condition of the school they graduated years ago.

“The school is so appreciative of the gesture by this particular former student to embark on this project, the faculty is now wearing a new look.

“In the same spirit, if other could come and do one or two project, the school will get developed, because the university need to maintain its academic quality standard that it is known for.”

The VC commended Dr. Otsemobor for the gesture and said the school would ever live to remember her contribution.

Earlier in a remarks, “Dr. Otsemobor, who sponsored the project said, “I was trained by this school for my Masters Degree and I’m here on my doctorate degree programme. On resuming here, I did not like the look of the floor of this faculty, but instead of comparing, I decided to use my NGO to do it. I am somebody who don’t like to see thing going wrong and look the other way. I’m always passionate about my environment.

University of Jos Alumni, director who was represented by Mr. Adoration Dashit expressed gratitude with the alumni member who decided to embark on the renovation.

Supreme Court doesn’t need 21 justices – CJN

The acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, has said appointing more judges or increasing the number of courtrooms are not the solutions to the problem of delayed justice dispensation in the country. The acting CJN said the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court would  remain congested so long as the number of appeals proceeding there from the high courts was not regulated. Justice Onnoghen also argued that it was erroneous to believe that delay at the Supreme Court was as a result of not having up to 21 Justices prescribed by the constitution. He noted hat even the United States of America, with a higher population, had only nine Supreme Court Justices. He argued that the current 17 Justices on the Supreme Court bench were just enough for the country, if the number of appeals proceeding to the appellate and apex courts was regulated. Justice Onnoghen made this argument on Monday in Lagos while inaugurating the newly refurbished building of the Lagos Division o...

US President Donald Trump's one-time campaign chairman secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to assist President Vladimir Putin, the Associated Press (AP) news agency reports. Paul Manafort is said to have proposed a strategy to nullify anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics a decade ago. AP says documents and interviews support its claims about Mr Manafort. Mr Manafort has insisted that he never worked for Russian interests. He worked as Mr Trump's unpaid campaign chairman from March until August last year, including the period during which the flamboyant New York billionaire clinched the Republican nomination. He resigned after AP revealed that he had co-ordinated a secret Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's ruling pro-Russian political party until 2014. Newly obtained business records link Mr Manafort more directly to Mr Putin's interests in the region, AP says. Donald Trump unpaid Campaign Chairman It ...
