Fake NYSC corper to serve in Prison

A suspected fake National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member, Opeyemi Ajala, 34, has been remanded in prison custody after he was arrested by the police at Dolphin Division, Ikoyi, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, and charged to court.

He allegedly told the police that he was contracted by Olotu Osayowanon now at large to help him serve the one year compulsory scheme with an agreement that he would be paying him N19,000 monthly.

The lecturers are being unreasonable,says the Minister of Education

On Monday, July 1,  2013, the Academic Staff Union of Universities embarked on yet another “indefinite strike” for the umpteenth time. Incidentally, the blame being traded is the same. “The Federal Government has refused to implement some of the issues contained in a 2009 agreement it had with us,” or “The government has a penchant for reneging on promises.” The union is also claiming that the strike is aimed at checking the near lack of foreign scholars in our education system and the recurring brain-drain in the sector.
