GoPoeThick 2016: Students Defy School Closure

14 Year Old Oyinkansola Making A Painting



A Cross Section Of The Audience

On Friday, 15th July, 2016, Organisers of GoPoeThick, a program organised to promote poetry, music and arts, played host to a large turnout of students, poets, musicians and lovers of arts. It started with a poetry class around 11am facilitated by Mr Shittu Fowora. Later that evening, participants and lovers of arts were treated to inspiring poetry, mind-blowing music and impressive artworks.

The venue, OAU Cooperative Centre was filled to the brim and had audiences from within and outside Osun state. Despite the closure of the university, there was a massive turnout from students, many of which came from outside campus.

It highlighted Open Mic segments from members of the audience and performance from featured poets and musicians from and beyond Obafemi Awolowo University.

The program, organised by Victor Adewale, had notable appearances like Aj Dagga Tolar, Arch Angel, Agarau, Samurai amongst others. Emi, a violinist, mesmerised the audience with his heartrending performances. Banke was live to entertain the crowd to reggae sounds that had the audience on their feet.

A fourteen years old girl, Oyinkansola, thrilled the audience with live paintings. She also performed poetry.

The dominant themes were restoration to true poetry, love, hope and a stand for justice and freedom.

FG Clarifies Ban On Post-UTME, Admission Procedures

The Federal Government on Saturday clarified its ban on the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and the general admission procedures, saying it “does not in any way affect the statutory role of the Senate of any university or the academic boards of any tertiary institution conducting its admissions.”

The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, stated this in a statement by the Deputy Director (Press and Public Relations) in the Ministry of Education, Mr. Ben. Bem-Goong.

He said the clarification became necessary following conflicting reports in the media over the roles of universities and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in admission under the new dispensation.

According to him, the role of JAMB is to conduct the UTME, compile the list of candidates whose scores meet the cut-off marks (180 and above) and send same to the universities.

The universities, the minister emphasised, would shortlist the candidates using the agreed guidelines and thereafter return the shortlisted candidates to JAMB for verification of compliance to guidelines and subsequent issuance of JAMB admission letters.

“For the avoidance of doubt, any screening charges shall apply only to successful candidates who have been issued admission by the universities of their choice. All universities and JAMB should adhere to this directive,” Adamu stated.

Adamu explained that although he had made the position earlier, the emphasis became necessary in order to ensure that no stakeholder was left in doubt as to government’s position on the matter.

NASU OAU Members Batter Representatives From National Headquarters

Reports coming in indicate that members of the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), Obafemi Awolowo University chapter were involved in a physical scuffle with some representatives of the Union from its National Headquarters.

The representatives were alleged to have come to confiscate all the vehicles of the OAU branch of NASU. This might not be far from the alleged disagreement between the local body of the union and it's National Headquarters in recent times - over the appointment of the OAU Vice Chancellor.

July 15 Deadline For Screening May No Longer Hold

Trailing the scrapping of the Post-UTME exercise by the Federal Government and the following comments on the proposed screening procedure by the University Registrar a few days back, there are strong indications that the July 15th deadline which was previously advertised by the University for it's Admissions Screening may no longer hold.

After a visit by our correspondent to the University's ICT centre, we were able to gather that the Screening procedure which is yet to commence, as the application portal has been offline, can no longer close on the 15th of July.

Our source, who decided to remain anonymous, stated that the Screening exercise may not even occur anytime soon as an acting Vice-Chancellor was needed to  initiate the process. However, no official statements have been made in light of this and thus it may not be unwise to continue to check the University's Portal.

As always, we would continue to keep the Great Ife Community and society at large apprised of further developments as concerning this subject matter.
