NANS threatens to call for JAMB scrapping over cut-off mark

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has threatened to call for the scrapping of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) if it fails to reverse the low cut off mark for admission into universities and polytechnics in the country.

NANS National Public Relations Officer, Bestman Okereafor, stated this in statement in Enugu on Saturday.

He said if the demand of the association, the most important stakeholder in the education sector was not met in reasonable time, it would call for the scrapping of JAMB.

He said: “Conclusively NANS will not hesitate to call for the scrapping of JAMB if the decision is not withdrawn without further delay.

“The national leadership of the apex students governing body, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), frowned at the drastic reduction of the JAMB unified cut off mark to 120, for admission into Nigeria universities.

“NANS sees this as a means of further degrading the level of the already falling and failing academic performance and excellence in Nigeria institutions.

“In lieu of this, NANS under the able leadership of the proactive NANS president, Comrade Aruna Kadiri, is calling on JAMB to reverse this inimical act without further delay or face the anger of Nigerian students.”

Because the aircraft was out of trim during this takeover, the aircraft abruptly pitched off with much pitch force. ” The captain counteracted it with a pitch down force. These counter forces caused turbulence and mo...

Coronavirus: It's Many Lies, Facts.

Image
According to Galileo Galilei, Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty. Coronavirus The advent of corona virus has brought about many myths, disinformation and fake news about what it is and it's mode of transmission. This challenge is more prominent in online spaces like blogs and the social media. This is not to deny the obvious that facts also get disseminated through those mediums by legitimate sources.  These anomalies are the reasons why I decided to make my own little contribution by separating the facts from the fakes after investigations on the claims and counter claims. Below are the falsehood and facts which I will differentiate with "LIES" and FACT." 1a. Lies: Corona virus kills anyone who gets infected. 1b. Fact: Most people who get infected develop mild illness and recover without needing professional assistance. To buttress this point...
