The students of the Faculty of Education, FUOYE, have protested the payment of N5000 as Teaching Practice (sometimes shortened as T.P) fee. The Teaching Practice levy was announced in a lecture at Phase II on the 27th March, 2019 by the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Prof. K. O. Ojokheta and the Teaching Practice coordinator, Dr. Phillip I. Ajewole. The Dean said the payment is necessary because the faculty does not currently have enough teachers who will serve as supervisors during the Teaching Practice programme. According to him, the shortage of staff will enable the faculty to employ hands from outside. Addressing the third year students who will be observing the Teaching Practice, he said “I have personally come to pass this information to you because it is a serious issue. You are all going to pay the sum of N5000 to participate in the Teaching Practice. The 200 level students will pay N3000 too.” “The reason for this is that Education does not have enough lecturers and we hav...

The Vice-Chancellor of Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Prof. Kayode Soremekun, said on Sunday that only 2,000 out of a population of 17,000 students had paid their school fees for the 2018/2019 session. Soremekun lamented that the students’ failure to pay their school fees had negatively impacted on the university’s desire to meet many of the needs and demands of the school for more effective and enhanced academic and administrative activities.The vice-chancellor said at Oye Ekiti in a chat with journalists that the fact that many of the students had diverted such fees had compelled the school management to devise a means by which parents could pay the fees directly instead of asking their children to pay. He said, “It is very appalling that students these days have been failing to pay school fees for reasons we cannot fathom. By the last check, about 15,000 of our students have not paid. This is over 90 per cent of the student population because we have over 17,000 students in the ...

The number of infected Electrum bitcoin (BTC) wallets has reached 152,000 following an ongoing Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack on its servers. The development was reported by anti-malware software firm Malwarebytes in a blog post on April 29.
