applauded the Vice- chancellor of
ESUT and his team of management for
excellent display of maturity and in
handling the many academic and
management issues of the institution.
This was the commendation of the ten-
man strong Committee that was in full
force in its oversight function visit to
ESUT. The Committee led by its
Chairman Rt. Hon. Matthew Ugwueze
included Rt. Hon. Anthony Ogidi,
Hon. Barr. Obinna Ogbe, Hon.
Iloabuchi Aniagu, Hon. Nelson Uduji,
Hon. Barr. Philip Nnamani, Hon. Mrs.
Ethel Ugwuanyi, Hon. Arc. James
Akadu, Hon. Chinedu Nwamba and
Hon. Johnbull Nwagu.
The Chairman, Hon. Ugwueze gave a
run-down of a wide range of issues the
Committee was interested in knowing
about ESUT, ranging from the
university's budget, admissions, to the
encroachment of the host communities
on the land of ESUT.
Hon. Johnbull Nwagu spoke on the
issue of tackling various challenges
faced by the institution and suggested
that the Vice-Chancellor should create
a synergy between the staff union,
students and the Alumni Association.
He further suggested that ESUT could
link with other universities in terms of
revenue generation, advising the V-C
to be creative in finding ways to move
the university forward. He said, “You
are sitting on a gold mine that must
explore.”
Barr. Obinna Okenwa said there is
wonderful improvement on student
e x a m i n a t i o n
contrary to what
used to obtain when
he was a student
here. He remarked
tha t more than
seventy percent of
the members of the
committee were
products of ESUT.
He commended the
univers i ty wi th
regards to staff
welfare and praised
the Works Department of the University
for maintaining a neat environment. He
further requested for an improvement in
registration processes especially the
postgraduate students and pleaded for the
university to create a more conducive
means of students changing to their desire
coursed without unnecessary hitches.
The issue of the remaining two
Faculties still at MSP, Enugu was
raised including students “sorting”
lecturers for grades, adjunct lecturers,
admission and illegal demand for
money from students.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Luke
O . A n i k e i n a d d r e s s i n g t h e
uncertainties raised by the legislators
told the Committee in emphatic tone
that the university maintains a zero-
tolerance to sorting. He said that any
case of such criminality had always
been swiftly and decisively handled
without discrimination about who was
affected. He said the institution
encourages any students so affected to

be courageous and come forward to
report such cases even anonymously.
He cleared the erroneous impression
that the University does not admit
some people even when they had score
well beyond the requirements for
admission. The Vice-Chancellor
revealed that the constraint in
admitting many students rests on the
carrying capaci ty a l lowed the
institution by the National Universities
Commission (NUC). He said that an
example is Law where every university
is allocated a certain number to be
admitted and that any institution that
exceeds that figure risks having the
Programme closed. He confirmed the
efforts being made by the University to
see that the Postgraduate registration is
m a d e h i t c h - f r e e j u s t a s t h e
undergraduate has been achieved. The
V-C further explained that students are
readily allowed to change courses
provided that the carrying capacity for
that Programme is not exceeded.
On Adjunct lecturers, the Vice-
Chancellor, Professor Anike explained
to the visiting Committee that ESUT
has 265 of such lecturers because there
is a gap in academic staff capacity
building and assured that the university
is working hard to bridge that gap.
On internally generated revenue
(IGR), the V-C explained that a student
pays 125 thousand naira per session as
tuition and other fees. He revealed that
while the university spends 317
million naira per month on staff
salaries alone, the university receives a
total of 108.5 million naira per month
from government, out of which the
combined contributions of the Local
Governments to this amount totals
25.5 million per month, saying that
there is a huge gap between what the
university requires and what is
available to it.
As the House Committee rose with all
the top management personnel of the
university to inspect the many
TETFund projects going on in ESUT,
the Committee Chairman, Hon.
Ugwueze urged the Vice-Chancellor to
pressurize the contractors handling the
projects to quicken the work pace so
that ESUT would not lose the next
TETFund intervention fund which
may be around the corner. The
Committee expressed pleasure with
the job done on the Faculty of Natural
Science extension building which is at
the verge of completion. At the ESUT
practicing farm which consisted
fishery, piggery and poultry, the
Committee was taken round the
premises to see some of the machines
and equipment acquired to facilitate
work and learning there.
The Committee held a closed-door
meeting with the V-C to end the visit to
the institution.
In this issue, we see the Enugu House
of Assembly Education Committee
visiting ESUT a second time in a space
of one month, this time for inspection
of on-going projects and ascertaining
the progress and challenges in the
running of the institution. A heavy
media presence accompanied the visit.
Aberystwyth University of Wales in
the UK came ca l l ing seek ing
collaboration with ESUT like Dublin
university of Ireland.
Not insignificant are the simultaneous
visits of two accreditation teams, one
to the newly created Department of
Computer Science in the Faculty of
Applied Natural Sciences, and
Department of Anatomy in the Medical
Sciences of the College of Medicine.
We needed to flash back to a very
important conference held in June at
ESUT Business School, in the city of
Enugu and the outcome of the
discussions in that conference needed
to reach your attention.
Laurels were won for ESUT by the
Microbiology Department of the
Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences
proving once again the frontline
position of ESUT in the community of
universities in Nigeria.

FROM THE
Part of Faculty of Agric demonstration farm
Prominent scientists and academics from all parts of Nigeria came together for a 3-day 2016 international conference hosted for the second consecutive year by ESUT, in which more than 40 papers were delivered. These papers bordered on problems affecting Nigerians in different sectors. The MERC Data Consulting (MDC) conference was held in collaboration with ESUT at ESUT Business School, GRA, Enugu from June20-22, this year.
As a result of researches carried out suggestions were made for a way fo rward , wh i l e so lu t i ons and recommendations were also proffered.
There was a consensus of opinion by both presenters and participants that government attention is urgently needed in these areas for efficiency and effectiveness in government MDA's performance. It was also agreed that it is a fact that the modern world can never be free of challenges as new trends are evolving, acknowledging that these t rends are s igns of development for the modern world. It becomes necessary to develop s t r a t eg ie s to go wi th modern challenges associated with them. This can be better achieved by adopting the recommendations of this conference, the participants unanimously agreed.
The conference made the following twelve recommendations agreeing that government should encourage implementation of research findings in the field of renewable energy and create awareness to the public on its advantages:* Women should be empowered to help move the country forward in areas
of politics, employment, e n t r e p r e n e u r s h i p a n d healthcare.* ICT infrastructure should be established across the nation to improve access to Internet (ICT Compliance).* Political parties should stick to manifestos made during political campaigns. Moral instruction should be made compulsory in schools to expose children early in life to good morals.* Bodies involved in the training, supervision and sanctioning of teachers should carry out their duties without fear or favour. Quality
education should be made available to all.* Government should set u p v o c a t i o n a l s k i l l acquisition centres across the nation to de-emphasize the unnecessary leaning on academic certificates.* Government should emphasize the training of key MDA Staff on project management skills and the new pension scheme.* Environmental policies should be reviewed in line
with recent research findings and health hazards.Government should collaborate with willing foreign agencies for rural development projects. Town planners should be strict on the implementation of existing and new plans.* The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) should look into the activities of health centres across the nation for standard delivery. Research findings in the health sector should be developed. E.g cucumber fungicidal properties which could possibly in future be used in the treatment of skin infections.* Government should encourage recycling as obtained in other countries by recycling spent lubricating oil.* More credit facility should be made available for women and youth. Government should make available more funds for agricultural research.* Agencies involved in transport should tighten up.* Government should encourage establishment of skill acquisition
centres across the nation to encourage entrepreneurship. Also motivation is needed to encourage efficiency of workers.
Government should enforce the implementation of the Child Right Act across the nation. Government budget s h o u l d r e fl e c t i n t e r n a t i o n a l recommendation for the child. G o v e r n m e n t s h o u l d e s t a b l i s h crèches/day care around offices to encourage effectiveness and better productivity of nursing mothers.
The conference ended on the note that general overview of research findings shows that research is imperative in the growth of every nation. When Research is well funded and supported, it reflects on the economy of the country and its citizens. Therefore, a plea was made for a serious approach to the above recommendations with a view to boosting the economy.

Hot on the heels of the visit in June of two officials from the University of Dublin in Ireland, a forward official from Aberystwyth University in Wales, United Kingdom came to ESUT for discussions on potential a r e a s f o r c o l l a b o r a t i o n a n d partnership. Dr. Aloysius Igboekwu who i s the l ink man be tween Aberystwyth University and ESUT held a serious session with the Vice-Chancellor and some other necessary officials of ESUT to brainstorm on the issue.
The areas of discussion centred on five key points. The first is the Split-site PhD Programme which offers a collaborative research opportunity between two the two institutions. It also provides a platform for other activities such as co-organisation of conferences, seminars, and workshops or the co-application of national and international research grants. This programme has an eight-point agenda which will benefit both institutions if a n a g r e e m e n t i s r e a c h e d f o r collaboration.
A second issue is the Progression Agreements by which Aberystwyth is proposing progression understanding with ESUT in which interested Bachelor's degree graduates can progress onto Aberystwyth University programmes for Master's degree and PhDs for graduates with Second Class Upper Division results. Undergraduate students of ESUT may also “be eligible to transfer their studies to Aberystwyth University after they have successfully completed their second year. They will do another two years to be eligible for the award of Aberystwyth University Bachelor degree.” Also on this progression programme is subsidized f e e s f o r E S U T g r a d u a t e s f o r
postgraduate studies at Aberystwyth University, and developing and managing special career/internship programmes for ESUT graduates.
Aberystwyth University wish to partner with ESUT to launch a series of international standard distance learning and online programmes across a wide range of disciplines especially in Information Science, Law and Criminology, Business, Tourism Management, Management, Organisational Studies, Accounting and Finance, Banking, and other areas.
A n o t h e r i s t h e D u a l Programmes under which students of ESUT will do t h e i r t h i r d y e a r a t Aberystwyth University and return to ESUT to do their fina l year. In order to p r o c e e d , A b e r y s t w y t h University will map the current programmes of study and subsequently propose an award of Aberystwyth University Certificate of Study in addition to ESUT degree to the students.
The fifth is the Capacity Building under which there will be cooperation and collaboration in Curriculum Development, Staff Training and Development and Staff Exchanges between the two universities.
E s t a b l i s h e d i n 1 8 7 2 ,
Aberystwyth University is the oldest University in Wales and also home to the first department of International Politics in the world. The University was voted as having the best student experience in the UK in a 2010 poll as well as the safest University in the UK for several years running. The U n i v e r s i t y g r a n t s g e n e r o u s scholarships to international students.. It ranks number two in UK for English language support and home to the largest award winning Arts Centre in Wales.
ESUT management is still studying the proposals with a view to finding the best possible and most beneficial areas to agree with Aberystwyth University. The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Luke O. Anike who headed the discussions expressed ESUT's gratitude and willingness to work with Aberystwyth University in areas of mutual cooperation. In the ESUT team were Professors Martin Anikwe, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, and Titus Enudu, Director of ESUT Business School. Dr. Uzochukwu Amakom came from the Institute of Developing Studies, UNEC, Enugu.

Between 21 and 25 of June st th
2016, students of the South-East Zone of the National
A s s o c i a t i o n o f M i c r o b i o l o g y (NAMS), convened at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka for their annual get-together during which among other activities debates, presentations, quiz and spelling competitions were h e l d . T h e E S U T t e a m t o t h e convention stole the show in the competitions, beating most of the other universities in what looked like a monopoly of performance.
In the competitions, the ESUT team took the first position in debate and
s t u d e n t p r e s e n t a t i o n respectively, and second in quiz and spelling competitions respectively. The president of E S U T c h a p t e r o f t h e A s s o c i a t i o n o f A p p l i e d Microbiology and Brewing Students, Mr. Jeffrey Imoisili who led the ESUT contingent to the UNN convention said he was proud to have been made in ESUT.

O g u expressed happiness that the ESUT team rather than let the university down flew the university's flag above all else.
The Vice-Chancellor assured the team that the university is proud of its performance and encouraged them to strive to do more in future. He assured them that the university will continue to support and encourage high performance in all ways possible and promised that if they would apply early for logistics, he would not relent in providing such for their future outings.
The Head of the Department of Microbiology ESUT, Professor (Mrs.) Floreta Tasie thanked the VC for his unflinching support and promised that the Department will continue to build the students for higher performance.
ard-fighting Department of HBuilding Technology football team came tops with 3-1
against the Department of Quantity Surveying in the annual football compet i t ion of the Facul ty of Environmental Sciences to bag the coveted cup which has become the pride of the Faculty. The star-studded team parades the ace goalkeeper of the university, Mr. Onyeka Chidi Anyaji who is also the captain of the team as well as some of the university's top team members.
To the benefit of the team is the fact that this same goalkeeper was the keeper of ESUT golden football team at the last West African University Games.
T h e D e a n o f t h e F a c u l t y o f Environmental Sciences said that the Faculty is proud that her efforts in keeping the competition alive has
produced some of the best footballers the institution has and believes that a brighter future stil l awaits the competition. He was full of praise for the Departmental teams that competed for the cup and lauded the team spirit and discipline exhibited by the
Departments. The Head of the Department of Building Technology said he believes that his team will retain the cup come next year and that this will fire up the spirit of competition in the other Departments.

NUC rates Nigerian varsities poor in researchThe executive Secretary of the Nigerian Universities Commission, Professor Julius Okogie has frowned at the poor research work in universities in the country. He observed that out of the triple mandate of universities, research has suffered a setback as more time was allotted to teaching and assessment of students.Okogie made the observation during a public lecture at the University of Benin (UNIBEN) recently, where he discussed the topic, “Embracing Nigeria Universities Reforms to Enhance Innovation, Research and Entrepreneurship.”
FG cancels second NECO test for Unity SchoolsThe federal government has again announced the cancellation of the second test conducted by the National Examination Council (NECO) for admission into federal government colleges.The cancellation is said to be with effect from the 2017/2018 year. No reason has been given for this cancellation.
FG to extend maternity leave to 18 weeksThe Federal Government has set in motion the process to extend the maternity leave period of nursing mothers from 16-18 weeks (four and one half months). The decision was part of the government's efforts towards promoting exclusive breastfeeding for nursing mothers.
In recent years it had become a vogue for governments around the world to encourage exclusive breastfeeding, “baby-friendly,” by nursing mothers since the belief has become popular that breastfeeding of babies for upwards of four months makes such children grow up strong and healthy. Championed by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and supportive leading governments of the West as well as the East, it only became imperative that the Nigerian government has to adopt this now popular system of caring for new born babies.
The government official who spoke on this health issue said that Nigeria could not afford to have her children fall behind the rest of the world in enjoying good care and health through the teeming mothers of the nation. He said the nation would do all in her power to maintain the policy as long as it takes to grow healthy babies.
CBT retreats, post-UTME bounces backLike a rubber worm that would not die, the postUTME has found its way back to the universities in Nigeria to continue the screening of candidates seeking admission into different degree programmes in the country. The Federal Ministry of Education and other stakeholders in the tertiary education sub-sector have agreed on N2,500 as the fee for post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) screening.
This is contained in a statement issued by Professor Michael Faborode, Secretary-General of Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU) on Wednesday April 6, 2016 in Abuja. Faborode said the agreement was reached after a deliberation of officials of the ministry, federal universities, polytechnics and colleges of education. The secretary-general said it was agreed that the post-UTME screening should be sustained following the scrapping of the Computer Based Test (CBT).
It will be recalled that the Computer-based test (CBT) system introduced recently to try re-directing Nigerians to the mastery and use of the computer in studies and examinations has been widely blamed by many JAMB candidates for the poor performance recorded in the 2016 examination. Many of such candidates interviewed by ESUT Bulletin complained that many of the computers used in the examination were either obsolete or seriously faulty or could not be operated by them.
It remains to be seen what other methods the universities would resort to or otherwise continue to use their old systems in screening their prospective undergraduates.

In a period of particularly heavy fighting, our sergeant tried to restore our sagging morale by telling us that every bullet has the name of the person it is going to hit written on it. “I'm not scared of those bullets,” one soldier sighed. “What I'm worried about are the kinds which have 'For whom it may concern' written on them.”

We begin a three weeks series of this important article culled from The article is written by Amy Readers Digest of April 1986.Bjork Harris and Thomas Harris. Ask yourself this question: The article is titled, Another day flown away with little to show?TEN TIPS FOR SAVING TIME. Now read the first of the three-part series. Far too many of us pass through the years without recognizing that time is our most valuable gift. We have only so much of it and can't increase it substantially. But we reduce the demands on the time we have and use our free time in more rewarding can ways.Who is in charge of your free time? Often it isn't “free” at all because you have left yourself vulnerable to someone else's agenda, or you blindly follow what is expected of you, whether it is rewarding or not.To avoid this, you must take charge of your life – which means taking charge of your time. You'll have to challenge old habits that waste that time. Here are ten of these time waters to cut down on:
Things. Many of us are compulsive buyers. Even as we trip over our latest acquisition, we head for the shops to add to the collection. It's worth asking ourselves: how much is enough? Things demand attention: they must be dusted, stored, protected and insured. We pay for them with time as well as money. There's a place for acquisition, certainly, for paintings on the wall and primroses along the path. But is the enjoyment you feel in acquiring worth the long-term price you pay? It isn't what we have that makes us happy, but what we enjoy.
Not saying no. Days can be wasted getting out of tasks we shouldn't have taken on in the first place. We know we don't have the time and that other commitments are hanging fire, but when asked still say yes. A helpful way to break the pattern is to decide never to make a decision on the spur of the moment. It takes a little time to say, “I'll have to think about it and call you back,: but not nearly as much as muddling through a job we don't have the time to handle.
Unmade decisions. Unsolved problems can rob you of commitment to your work and reduce you to apathy during your precious free time. The question is not you have problems, but if they are the same ones you had a month or a year ago. whetherIf so, how many energy-sapping hours have gone into worrying about them? Can't you resolve at least some of your quandaries and get on with your life? It is almost always possible to narrow your choices. For instance, how many clothes do you keep that you haven't worn for years? One of the great things about travelling is looking in the hotel wardrobe and seeing just three outfits to choose from. Simplicity has been achieved in at least one area of your life.
Two brand new mini buses recently added strength to ESUT's logistics capabi l i ty as the renowned phi lanthropis t and business magnate, Prince Arthur Eze donated the vehicles in line with his avowed desire to add his weight to the furtherance of education in this part of the country.
Receiving the buses on behalf of the university, the Vice-Chancellor Professor Luke Okechukwu Anike thanked the philanthropist for his magnanimity and promised to commit the vehicles to the best and most appropriate use for the benefit of the university.
The two buses fully marked with ESUT logo and inscribed in honour
of the donor has already been deployed in the services of the university.
