The ceremony, which was held at the Senate Chamber of the University, commenced with an inspiring opening address by the Vice-Chancellor of Chrisland University, Professor Chinedum Peace Babalola, who emphasized the importance of strengthening ties between academia and professional bodies to equip students with essential leadership and administrative skills.

 

 

 

While speaking on the opportunities that will accrue through the programs, the Chairman of the Governing Council of the institute, Mrs. Funmi Ekundayo, assured the University that the students and staff would benefit through the practical insights that will be brought to bear by the Governance experts. The President of ICSAN further highlighted the shared vision and commitment towards advancing governance and professional ethics in Nigeria.

Ajadi Commends Reversal Of Age Limit For WASCE, NECO

 

 

 

 

Sahara Weekly Reports That A leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Olufemi Ajadi has commended the Federal Government for reversing itself on the 18 years minimum age to sit West Africa School Certificate Examinations, (WASCE) and the National Examinations Council (NECO).

 

 

 

 

 

He said: “This decision has portrayed President Bola Tinubu’s administration as a listening one.” However, Ajadi told the Federal Government to reverse the fuel pump hike which has piled more pressure on the suffering masses.

 

The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, had announced that beginning from the next academic session, students below 18 years will not be allowed to sit for WAEC and NECO, a decision that was greeted with condemnation by many Nigerians, including Ajadi.

 

He had urged the government not to implement such a policy in the interest of many youths who are already in Senior Secondary Schools and may have to sit at home for many years to reach the age of 18.

 

On Friday, the Minister of State for Education Tanko Sununu said the government never restricted the age for students to sit for WAEC and NECO to 18 years.
