By now you must have known that the 2020 JAMB policy meeting has been scheduled to hold on Tuesday, June 16th, 2020. Most candidates do not know the essence and the importance of the JAMB policy meeting each year. This post is to highlight the importance of the meeting and what candidates should expect after the meeting.

JAMB has already stated that the meeting will chart policy directions for the nation’s tertiary institutions, set admission guidelines, and make a holistic review of application statistics, performance, decide concessional and acceptable minimum admissions standards as well as evaluate the 2019 admissions exercise

However, many candidates do not know in simple terms what these means. So we have decided to break it down in simple terms so candidates will understand clearly and know what to expect after the meeting.

What Candidates Should Expect After 2020 JAMB Policy Meeting
So as we wait for the outcome of the JAMB Policy Meeting, below are the things you should expect during and after the meeting:

1.The 2020 official minimum Cut off marks for Universities, Polytechnics, and Colleges of Education will be decided and made know after the meeting.

2. The 2020 admission deadlines for all institutions will be made known after the meeting
JAMB may reveal application statistics and institutions with the highest number of applications during the meeting

3. How institutions performed during the 2019/2020 admission exercise will equally be addressed

4. The meeting will signal the commencement of the 2020 Admission exercise. This means schools will start announcing their Post-UTME screening and sales of form after the meeting. This means Post-UTME is around the corner. If you haven’t started preparing, you better do now.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) says death sentence and castration of rape offenders is not sufficient to end incessant rape cases in the country.
Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, the ASUU National President, in a statement today said imposing death sentence and castration on rapists, was just like going to an extreme without addressing root causes of the problem.
Ogunyemi advocated a life sentence for rape offenders rather than death sentence, saying the offender could end up becoming an advocate against rape after undergoing reforms in the prison.
He described rape as a form of pervasion and abnormal way of behaving caused by psychological dislocation or mental problem exhibited by the rapist.
According to him, the social environment the nation finds itself also creating avenues for such act to be perpetrated.
He urged the federal government to grant free education and health care services to Nigerians to enable them pay more attention in bringing up their children as well as reduce pressure on family units.

The National Association Of Nigeria Students, NANS, has said it is fully in support of the planned protest by concerned tertiary students to allow campuses resume with health protocols.
This is coming at a time where many Nigerian students are expressing their eagerness to resume lectures, considering a lot of factors which has continued to affect them morally, financially and academically.

The coordinator of NANS Zone A, Comrade Zakari Hashim CNS, in an exclusive interview with CAMPUSINFO today (Sunday), said agitating for schools to reopen is a welcome development and the arm will provide support.

“It is a welcome development. You have my support. The Federal Government should announce a date. They should also reach an agreement with ASUU before resumption”, he said.

Comrade Zakari also emphasized that isolation centers should be located at every federal Institution to monitor suspected cases.

Asked if he was aware of the recent demands by NANS which are declaration of free academic year to all Nigerian students, provision for food items, and payment of study allowances to students of tertiary institutions, he confirmed that truly, those are also pending demands for the government to grant upon resumption

A student of the Oke Ogun Polytechnic, Saki has been raped and murdered.

CAMPUSINFO gathered that the victim, Grace Oshiagwu was raped and murdered within a church mission building, located at Idi-Ori, Sasa-Ojoo, in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State on Saturday.

Our correspondent recalls that the incident is coming barely two weeks after the death of Barakat Bello who was recently raped and murdered in Ibadan.

Shomuyiwa Azeezat, another lady was also murdered by unknown assailants in the same local government area of the State.

Public Relations Officer of the Oyo State Police Command, Mr. Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the killing

ILAJE AND ESE-ODO STUDENTS PROTEST NON PAYMENT OF THEIR OSOPADEC BURSARY AND SCHOLARSHIP

The students of Ilaje and Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State under the affiliation of National Association of Ilaje Students (NAIS) and Federation of Ese Odo Local Government Student (FELGOS) respectively on Monday staged a peaceful protest over unpaid OSOPADEC bursary and Scholarship at the Accountant General’s office in Alagbaka Akure.

The OSOPADEC bursary and Scholarship scheme which was said to have been approved by The Governor in October 2019 and flagged off in December 2019 was said to be joining the lists of audio project of the government.

The understudies bunch who trooped out En masse insisted not returning to their different homes till they get paid, expressing that over 80% of the understudies haven’t been paid as the flag off was done in December was simply to calm and wheedle them.

The National President of NAIS , Comr Obebe Emmanuel in his address express his disappointment on the issue as they should be appling for another bursary and scholarship not upsetting for the later.

Comrade Ogunga mary (NAIS Vice President) said The 2017/18 OSOPADEC bursary and grant was affirmed by the Governor in October 2019 and was hailed off by the OSOPADEC commission December 2019, till date 80% of our understudies have not been paid, we’ve requested the commission through fundamental channels but to no avail and this prompted us taking over the street. If 40% out of the 13% oil deduction is meant for the mandate areas, for what reason is OSOPADEC not paying us.

The National President of FELGOS Comrade Olugbenga Samuel in his response expressed it’s uncalled for as the understudies are not having a lot of the alleged privilege from the commission without unsettling emphatically fighting for it.

The Students’ Leaders were called for discourse by the Senior Special Assistant to Ondo State Governor, Hon Muyiwa Ogunyemi alongside Attorney General of Ondo State, Accountant General, OSOPADEC Chairman in the midst of others. After quite a while deliberation of constructive contention from the two sides, it was concurred on that the understudies will be full paid the required funds at the latest 30th of June, 2020 and a composed report was duely impacted and signed by both parties.
