Following the unprecedented announcement on the University's eportal that the screening exercise of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife would close on Friday 9th September 2016, aspirants who were, as at then, yet to complete the process were thrown in a panicky state. An emotion further aggravated by the inaccessibility of the eportal since Friday, 8th September, a day to the said deadline. However, there might still be another chance just yet as the University has once again extended the closure date of the screening exercise till further notice.

As at the time of compiling this report, the screening application platform on the portal is accessible. It is however advisable that aspirants endeavour to complete their Screening process in due course as the process may be closed anytime from now.

Dr Ben Ugheoke, the Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) University of Abuja’s chapter, says the union has not issued strike notice to the Federal Government. In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, he said that he did not grant any interview or issue a statement on pending strike as it was reported.

“My attention has been drawn to a publication online and on social media captioned UniAbuja ASUU to begin strike on Oct. 2. The public and ASUU National Executive Council should know and note that no one came, either as journalist or any press team, to interview me."

“I hereby denounce such a publication as the work of mischief makers, targeted at misleading the unsuspecting public about the trajectory of the struggles of ASUU. “ASUU is committed to revitalising the University of Abuja and indeed, the education system of Nigeria,’’ he said in the statement.

He urged the public and stakeholders to disregard the report as it did not originate from him.

Read President Buhari's Eid-El-Kabir Message To Nigerians

Sallah Message to Nigerians by President Muhammadu Buhari
September 11, 2016

Fellow Compatriots, as you celebrate the Eid-El-Kabir, I salute your steadfastness in spite of the difficult economic times the country is going through.

The lessons of the Eid are piety and sacrifice and, my dear brothers and sisters, you have exhibited these in equal measure.

The present recession is as a result of cumulative effects of worldwide economic downturn and failure in the past to plan and save for difficult times. It is impossible to separate the present from the past to appreciate the extent to which mistakes of the past are affecting everyday life today.


I assure you that this administration is working round the clock to remove the hardships the country is going through. Rail and road constructions, projects in the housing sector, support for farmers and for small and medium scale industries, youth and women’s empowerment programmes, support for revival of industries are all designed to reinvigorate the economy and enhance living standards of ordinary people.

We are getting security right. We are stopping corruption in its tracks and we will get the economy right by the Grace of God.

I enjoin Muslims to live by the dictates of Islam, to keep good relationships with their Christian brothers and sisters and as patriots to maintain the spirit of the Nigerian nation.

I wish everyone happy holidays.

Muhammadu Buhari

Multiple Victims Injured In Ghastly Accident At Fajuyi Hall

'Jọba Ọ̀jẹ̀labí September 12, 2016 Leave a Reply








Just moments ago, ghastly accidents occurred in front of the Adekunle Fajuyi Hall of Residence at the Obafemi Awolowo University.

At exactly 9:30 pm, a car coming from the New Buka area of the University ran out of the main road into Fajuyi hall main entrance. Investigation showed that the driver of the car was under the influence of alcohol.

Just as students began to gather in twos and threes, another Honda car, also suspected to be coming from New Buka, was going above the speed limit. Upon getting to the Fajuyi Hall Bus Stop, the driver swerved into a motorcyclist and passenger moving in the opposite direction.

The motorcyclist and his passenger (a student) sustained different degree of injuries which was termed severe by eyewitnesses and have since been rushed to the hospital. While the driver of the vehicle and his supposed spouse are being held hostage in the Fajuyi hall secretariat till the victims recover fully.

Information reaching us has it that both victims have been admitted in the OAUTHC after being transferred from the school health centre.

Some angry mob of students gathered after the accident to moderate other moving cars, a course which almost led to an outburst when a passerby windscreen was broken. Some hours after the accident, the hall rep of the Hall of residence, Mr Sunnepa, showed up from the hospital to address the mob. He said; "...we are just coming from the hospital, the victims have started receiving treatment, and are currently in a stable condition. We have been promised their x-ray will be taken tomorrow and sent to us. The driver had also promised to foot the bill of all damages, until then they will remain in our custody..."
