NAEHSON frowns at the University of Ibadan

-



NAEHSON frowns at the University of Ibadan over the illegal issuance of a degree certificate in environmental health science. ..urges the federal government to probe U.I. officials.




The National Association of Environmental Health Scientists of Nigeria (NAEHSON) condemns in the strongest terms the reported backdoor issuance of BSC in Environmental Health Science certificates through the University of Ibadan.


NAEHSON is a professional body dedicated to advancing the field of environmental health in Nigeria.


The Association, therefore, strongly condemns unethical and putrid practice that is capable of undermining the integrity of the environmental health profession.


It is imperative for the association to react, following the disclaimer published by the University of Ibadan on its official website. The University has distanced itself from affiliating with any consultancy program and issuing a certificate, warning the public to always visit the institution’s website for any academic information.


The Association wishes to set the record straight, stating that anyone that wishes to become an environmental health practitioner must pass through the rigorous stages. 


Given the re-emergence of factual presented statement of result by University of Ibadan Consultancy Service and the admission letter indicating that to earn a BSc degree of Environmental Health Science (correct title as indicated in NUC CCMAS is BEHS or BTech EHS) you can spend 2 years as against 4 years (200 level) or 5 years (100 level) as recommended by NUC is a gross misconduct.


Issuance of statement of result, is the legal right of the Registrar of the issuing institution. So, in this case University of Ibadan consultancy program, the signature of the Registrar is not on the statement of result. And that has made a statement of result issued by a purported consulting service through University of Ibadan fake and illegal.


Given this background, the NAEHSON position is responsible for protecting the scientist status of the profession.


Such obnoxious behavior will not only denigrate the efforts of genuine students, it will tarnish the reputation of the University of Ibadan.


However, NAEHSON calls on the relevant authorities, including the Federal government and the University of Ibadan, to thoroughly investigate this deplorable situation. 


We also encourage respected UI, as an educational institution, to take proactive steps to safeguard against endemic corruption and maintain the highest standards of  best academic integrity, merit based admissions, and rigorous assessment.


The Association urges the University management to identify the culprits involved in this scheme and hold them accountable for their actions. 


NAEHSON stands firm in its commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and integrity within environmental health. 


The Association refuses to tolerate any practices that compromise the quality and credibility of the profession.

AREWA YOUTH FOR LIBERTY (AYFL) Condemns DAPPMAN’s Actions, Declares Full Support for Dangote Refinery

The Arewa Youth for Liberty (AYFL) strongly condemns the recent actions of the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) against the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Company. We view this as an act of sabotage and outright hostility toward the Nigerian people, who stand to benefit greatly from the refinery’s efforts to reduce fuel prices and provide massive employment opportunities. Dangote Refinery has invested heavily in the growth and development of Nigeria’s oil sector, including spending over ₦3 trillion to acquire trucks that will ensure nationwide distribution of petroleum products at reduced costs. Rather than commend and collaborate with Dangote Refinery in its efforts to ease the hardship caused by rising fuel prices, DAPPMAN and its allies, including NUPENG, appear determined to frustrate these positive strides. If such hostile actions by DAPPMAN continue, AYFL will have no option but to resist and confront any individual, group, or...
