Gov. Ugwuanyi Inaugurates Multiple School Projects -
~2.0 mins read
inaugurated multiple development projects executed by his
administration in some schools in the state, amid
jubilation.
The projects inaugurated include solar powered water
boreholes newly constructed by his administration through
the Post Primary Schools Management Board (PPSMB) in
Model Secondary School and Urban Girls Secondary
School in the University town of Nsukka, as well as Girls
Secondary School Owerre-Ezeorba in Udenu LGA.
Also inaugurated at Girls Secondary School Owerre-
Ezeorba, were two ultra-modern hostel blocks comprising
8 halls, a dining hall with kitchen; 60KVA Soundproof
Electric Power Generator; renovated 28 classroom blocks
and 800 capacity school main hall.
Gov. Ugwuanyi while in Nsukka inspected numerous
ongoing construction projects in Command Secondary
School, Orba, Udenu LGA, preparatory to its official
commencement of academic activities, following its take-
over by the military.
Speaking, the governor expressed delight that the newly
constructed solar powered boreholes were executed by his
administration to address water supply challenges in the
schools, to advance the realization of the goals of the
Enugu State School Water, Sanitization and Hygiene
(WASH) programme.
Gov. Ugwuanyi added that the strategic aim of the water
projects in the schools was also to stem the tide of
hygiene-related infectiousness diseases, including
COVID-19 and to create a conducive environment for
teaching and learning.
The governor disclosed that his administration has
significantly improved on the infrastructure of the schools.
He stated that the administration had in the recent past,
renovated two hostel blocks, one dining hall and 9
buildings of four classroom blocks each, in Modern
Secondary School, Nsukka, which facilitated the
emergence of the school as the 5th best in the Public
School Category in Nigeria, in the 2019 edition of the
President’s Teachers and Schools Excellence Award.
This feat, according to the governor, was based on the
Federal Ministry of Education’s assessment of
infrastructure, teaching and learning, quality of teachers
and school administrator as well as school performances
in Senior and Junior WAEC examinations.
"In this benchmarking, Model Secondary School, Nsukka
brought pride to the state and the school Principal, Mr.
Obiora Ezugwuorie has long been appreciated through the
Enugu State Executive Council (EXCO) approved
promotion to Salary GL-17", he said.
While congratulating the Principal, staff and students of
the school for their diligence, Gov. Ugwuanyi, upon the
request of the students, approved the immediate
construction of a male hostel and an ultramodern hall for
the school.
At Urban Girls Secondary School, Nsukka, the Gov.
Ugwuanyi administration also carried out a turn-around
renovation of three-unit buildings of 8 classrooms which
were hitherto damaged by rainstorms in 2018. It equally
reconstructed a multi-purpose hall with seating capacity
of above 1000 students.
In their speeches, the State Commissioner for Education,
Prof. Uche Eze, the Chairman of PPSMB, Barr. Nestor
Ezeme and the Principals of the schools, expressed
gratitude to Gov. Ugwuanyi for his administration’s
support and special attention in education, assuring the
governor that history will forever remember his footprints
in the sector and beyond.
Enugu State is in the hands of God!

ASUU Strike, Students And Their Landlords
~1.1 mins read
Seven months have passed since ASUU embarked on strike.
These 7 months have gone on rather uneventfully with the
lockdown taking the better part of the seven months and the
recent #EndSars protests last month.
With the year coming to an end and the loss of job that
accompanied the lockdown, other sources of income now
seem to be the only income which brings me to the aim of
this post.
Students have been home for these past months with little
or nothing to do as most establishments are not hiring due
to the financial hit on their businesses. Ordinarily, a session
should be closing and rent for student lodges would most
likely be due for payment. I just wonder where this leaves
them and their landlords who would soon begin to ask for
rent payments.
Losing 7months+ of their rents and probably more (since
the ASUU strike is still on) is not wonderful thing. But rental
agreements stated anyways that their rent is due on a said
date signed prior to payment. It wouldn't be a subject to
debate if these students utilized this rooms paid for during
the past 7+ months plus. Paying for more time that mightn't
be used is another thing to worry about.
I'm just wondering if it is possible for them and their
landlords to find a middle ground. After all the landlords
built those hostels and lodges for financial gains.
NB: Please bear in mind that not all federal universities have
the capacity to provide accommodation for all her students.
Landlords of students' lodges, what are your thoughts?
Students patronizing alternative accomodations, what are
your thoughts?

Nigerian Who Sued University Of Oxford For Wrongful Definition Of Words Gets Favorable Court Ruling
~1.4 mins read
Things that laymen overlook the lawyers take seriously. A Nigerian lawyer, Ogedi Ogu has filed a N10 Million suit before Justice I .O . Harrison Lagos State High Court against the University of Oxford, England for alleged wrongful definitions of the words “mortgagee’’ and “mortgagor†in the Oxford Dictionary, published by Oxford University Press.
Ogu claimed that Oxford Dictionary wrongly defined the word “mortgagee’’ as the borrower in a mortgage transaction; and “mortgagor ’’ as the lender which according to him was contrary to the definition of “ mortgagee†as lender and “mortgagor †as borrower in many other dictionaries. He equally claimed in the suit that he had relied on the wrong definition to offer legal advice to his professional colleague. It should be noted that the claimant, Mr Ogedi Ogu had sued both the University of Oxford and Oxford University Press as 1st and 2nd defendants respectively.
When the matter was slated on 23 June 2020, for ruling on preliminary objection brought by the Oxford University, the counsel to the defendants, Mrs Funke Adekoya ( SAN ), who filed the preliminary objection on the ground that the claimant did not comply with Section 97 of the Sheriff and Civil Process Act in issuing and serving his writ of summons, also contended that Oxford University Press, being only a department under the University of Oxford was a non -juristic entity, and thus could not be sued. She thus urged the court to dismiss the suit for being incompetent.
The judge ruled in favor of the defendants only to the effect that Oxford University Press was not a juristic entity and thus struck out Oxford University Press from the suit but the court ruled that "the writ was validly issued and service was lawful and regular" and thus ordered that the matter should proceed to trial. Ogu is asking for N10 million damages .
So the English people make mistakes too in English language?
