FG Gives Update On The Reopening Of Schools Nationwide

The Federal Government has disclosed that there are plans to reopen schools nationwide soon, however, this will not be done in two weeks as being rumoured. This was made known by the minister of State for Education, ChukwuemekaNwajiuba, during the Presidential Task Force news conference in Abuja following rumours that the Federal Government would reopen schools in the next two weeks.

 The Federal Government had ordered the indefinite closure of educational institutions nationwide as part of measures to curtail the current health crisis.
The Minister said the schools would be reopened when the safety of the school children could be guaranteed. He said the government is being careful as not to endanger the lives of the school children
He added that his ministry is working with other relevant stakeholders and agencies of government to put necessary measures in place that would guarantee the safety of children before the schools are reopened.
He said: “We all are seriously interested in reopening and I believe we will reopen soon. But I can’t confirm what your children said that we will reopen in two weeks.
“The five countries of West African Examination Council (WAEC) are meeting and I just came out of a meeting with African Union (AU) Ministers of Education, everybody is concerned as you are. We hope to reopen very soon.
“This morning, I met with the Ministry of Science and Technology. We are looking at putting a system in place that can disinfect every child as he goes into a school and disinfect him as he goes out.
“If we resource our schools properly we can begin to reopen. But we must be able to ensure that the children go in safe and come out safe and not become a conduit for further infection in society.”

What JAMB Score Do I Need To Gain Admission?

With many candidates having seen their JAMB results, the question they are now asking is the possibility of gaining admission to their desired school and course of choice with their score; especially those that scored below 200. I have received many questions like, “My score is 150, 160, 170, 180, Can I get admission in so so school?” This post is to address your questions. I will make it easy and straight forward to understand. JAMB score alone does not really guarantee admission. Your admission will also depend on your school of choice and course as well as other admission factors. I have seen candidates that scored well above 200 but ended up not gaining admission and I have equally seen candidates that scored below 180 and yet secured admission. Assuming your JAMB score is 200 and you chose a school like UNILORIN, UNIBEN or UNILAG to study a competitive course (like engineering, medicine, computer science, Law etc) you should consider changing either the school or the course r...

Some things that may cause things not fall in place as planned might be disasters, unexpected events, forgetfulness and nature itself (rainfall or sunshine). Whenever something don't go as planned, we lost things, it might be time, money, property or even life.now what if your plan don't go well, how/what will you do to put it back in place.

Without backup plans we end up being frustrated, furious, angry, loss of concentration, mentally and physically depressed, anxious, etc. For this reason, we should always endeavour to have backup plans so as not to be drifted from the lane because of common failures. Backup plans are plans that endeavour to put us back in track and hence, reduce losses that are commonly caused by failures of the previous pl...

JAMB Announces How many Times Candidates Can Change Course/Institution

  For JAMB candidates asking, “How Many Times Can I Do Change of Course and Institution?”, “Can I change My course and institution again after changing it the first time?” JAMB has officially answered your question. Read details below; Before now candidates who wish to effect changes on either their course and institution could only do it twice (2 times). However, things have changed. Now, changing of course/institution can now be done as many times as possible provided you’re ready to pay for it, have the requirements to study the course and institution you are changing to and if the school you are changing to is still allowing candidates to change to it. So candidates are allowed to change as many times as they want, provided they meet the requirements and conditions as state above. However, candidates against going to unapproved CBT centres for their change of course/ Institution and data correction. This is to avoid mistakes during the process. JAMB or institutions will no...
