FUTO Academic Calendar for 2016/17 Session

Federal University of Technology, Owerri, FUTO academic calendar for the 2016/2017 academic session has been released.

 
The University Senate at its meeting approved the academic calendar for the 2016/2017 academic year as follows:

Senate cancels post UTME, extends JAMB’s validity period

THE Senate Thursday passed into law that which would guarantee the validity of any admission offered by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB to any candidate for a period of three academic years from the date of the conduct of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Also, the Senate finally put to rest the controversy trailing the conduct of the Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) by the Universities, thereby declaring it illegal and unconstitutional, just as the upper chambers said that with the decision, the question of who was in charge of admission has been answered.
Deliberating on the report by the Senator Barau Jibrin led Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND, of a Bill for an Act to amend the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Act and other matters connected thereof, 2016( SB.245), the senators amended subsection (a) of section 5 to read as follows: ” 5(b) the Matriculations Examinations conducted by the Board shall be the sole examinations required for admission and entry into all Universities, ‘ Polytechnics (by whatever name called) and Colleges of Education (by whateVer name called), to the exclusion of any other institution or body.”
With the passage of the bill, it would now require the president to assent to the bill where it would then become a law and with the bill coming from the Executive, President Muhammadu Buhari may not delay in the signing of the bill into law.
It would be recalled that on Wednesday 1st June 2016, the Senate of Federal Republic at its sitting read JAMB Amendment bill 2016 (SB.245) the second time and referred same to the Committee on Tertiary Institutions and Tetfund. The purpose of the bill was to amend the JAMB Act to increase validity period of JAMB examination from one academic year to three academic years.
The Committee in considering the Bill, made reference to Votes and Proceedings and Verbatim reports of Wednesday 2nd March 2016, particularly to the contributions of Members regarding the financial hardship experienced yearly by parents/guardians in Sponsoring the candidates for JAMB examination.
On the three year validity of the result, the report said, ” Validity of Section 6: ‘ “6. (i)any examination conducted by the Board pursuant to the powers conferred by this Act shall be valid for a period of three academic years from the date of the examination.

REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER STAY OFF CAMPUS

There is the feel to teach students and aspirants on the needs to stay ON campus, which brought about the topic : As A Student – 5

Reasons Why You Should NEVER Stay Off Campus. See reasons below :

1) CONCENTRATION:
Why were you admitted, to concentrate right?? Staying on campus gives you loads of opportunities to
focus on your studies. There are heaps of dialog gatherings to join, bear in mind the instructional exercises as well. Companions
would call you to come and read during the evening in one of the lecture rooms. Staying off campus will deprive you of these opportunities.

2) EASE OF TRANSPORT:
Staying on campus would without a doubt spare you heaps of cash when boarding transports or taxicabs.
Also, on the off chance that you think you got the quid to spill, then you could get found amid RUSH HOUR, where enormous overwhelming folks would tear you into pieces when scrambling for transports. Staying on campus makes you simply have a walk and appreciate the view!

3) SECURITY:
This is essential!!! We generally hear instances of assault, theft, ambush and so forth outside the school premises, yet on campus, there are bunches of security watchmen on watch.
Indeed, even the man-o-war troops, cadets, and so forth would loan a hand.

4) PUNCTUALITY:
when you stay on campus, you have the
tendency to be more serious, so you wake up, have a shower, spruce up and stroll down to the lecture theatre , you may get a
space in front. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you stay off campus, you wake up, have a bath, dress up, sit tight for the
transport for 30mins, the bus may break down, may even tear your new Thomas pink shirt
5) COMPANIONSHIP:
Its dependably fun staying with your
associates, campus hostels can never be a dull spot, its like a scaled down town!!! There are comics, touts, comedians, actually no
dull minutes!!! There is dependably a hall rep, who is a programmed individual from the student union agent committee, who may even organise shows, end of session dinners, and so on and it has a tendency to be free.

6) TO MAKE MORE FRIENDS :
Staying on campus will inevitably get you more exposure to other students, which invariably gives you the opportunity to make more friends on campus. If you are the type that is aiming a political post on campus, you can’t but just stay on campus.

7} TO GET INFORMATION FASTER: Information is known to spread like wind in school hostels. You might not get that opportunity off campus, especially if you are not the ‘Always Online’ or ‘Friendly’ type.
