ONLINE RESULT CHECKING

This is to inform the university community of the administration's readiness to effect the uploading of results online from the 2015/2016 academic session. You will recall that the university administration tried implementing this last academic session but due to some hitches, it was not completed. However, modalities have been put in place to ensure a greater success of the project from this semester. It is thus important that online registration of courses be taken serious by all students of the university as the lists generated from online course registration by lecturers will be used both for admittance into examination halls and for subsequent computing of results.

Also, it is most likely that from this semester, results will no longer be pasted on notice boards as has been the case till date.

Please ensure you register your courses online as well as manually before it's too late. I am not yet sure of a deadline for online registration of course but will let you know as soon as I get a hint on that. Meanwhile, it will not be wise to wait any longer as exams are fast approaching and all online registrations must be completed before then.

HAPPY MATRICULATION TO ALL NEW LIONS AND LIONESSES.

Re: REVISED TIMETABLE OF EVENTS FOR THE 2015/2016 ACADEMIC SESSION 11

Haven made a post on this topic before now (details of the previous
post here: http://www.unnmaxinfo.blogspot.co.ke/2015/12/re-revised-time-table-of-events-for.html?m=1),
I am sending this again to address a controversy that just arose from
the latest post on the university website as regards the topic above.
Please note that the revised timetable is still for post-graduate
students and not undergraduates. The only change in the revised
timetable is on the date for convocation. By the new timetable,
convocation will now hold between Monday, 15th and Sunday, 21st 2016.
While matriculation remains Saturday, February 6th, 2016. Also, there
will be a convocation debate in the course of the convocation week.
Details of the debate available here:
http://www.unnmaxinfo.blogspot.co.ke/2016/01/convocation-debate.html?m=1.
While I wish you Happy Matriculation or Happy Convocation, I hope you
will remember to invite me to celebrate with you.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE ONGOING NASU STRIKE

You may have observed that members of Non-Academic Staff Union have
been on strike and administrative offices in the university have been
under locks and keys since Monday, 18th January, 2016. However, you
may not know the following facts about the ongoing strike. Sit back,
relax and read carefully as I take you through the chilling facts.
1. The strike is embarked upon by the UNN Chapter of the Union. This
means that only UNN is affected by the ongoing strike. A non-academic
staff interviewed on the issue said it is due to issues its members
have tabled before the university administration for a very long time
without any favourable response. The members of the Union embarked on
the strike to press home their demands which is captioned in a
five-point heading which includes documentation, salary increase among
others.
2. Due to the strike, offices like the Student Affairs Department,
Departmental General Offices, etc. have not been open since the said
date.
3. This is just a warning strike. According to the staff, members of
the Union decided to embark on the warning strike to give room for
other bodies and associations who may want to come into the situation
in the interest of the students and the university community. He also
said that the strike is the cause of water scarcity which is gradually
spreading its effect on campus.
4. Things may get worse. If no good response is got from the
university authority, members of the Union plan to stop the
circulation of water and supply of power within the university
community. According to our source this will be the beginning of many
other steps which will be taken in their efforts to ground academic
and non-academic activities within the university community.
5. The warning strike will last for seven days after which, if nothing
is done about their demands by the university administration, they
will shut down the school completely.

THE NEED FOR ACTION
The Union, therefore calls on all unions and associations which have
the interest of the students at heart to wade into the matter as a
full-blown strike will definitely interrupt academic and non-academic
activities within the university community.

Re: SSANU PROPOSED STRIKE

I stayed away from the confusion on the above topic because until now,
I did not get a good-enough information to delve into it. However,
owing to the questions arising at the return of students from the
Christmas break, I made some calls and got some clarifications which I
will outline below:
1. It is true that the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian
Universities are embarking on a nationwide strike to protest the
proposed sack of about 2,000 of their colleagues by the federal
government.
2. However, for now the strike is only affecting non-academic staff of
the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Details of that I do not have but I
am sure it is true and trustworthy.
3. At such, lecturers and other academic staff of the university will
continue to report to classes and perform their academic duties until
further notices.
4. Though we do not pray for it, if the strike lingers, academic staff
may join in solidarity. But as at today, they are not yet involved.
Thus, I encourage all Lions and Lionesses who are yet to return to
campus to do so as academic activities are resuming with full force.
Also, you may need to be reminded that according to the timetable of
events for this academic session, first semester examination starts
next month.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL FORMER OCCUPANTS OF OKEKE HOSTEL

The SUG President, Comr. Oji, Peter, Ekene welcomes all Lions and
Lionesses back to the Den with high hope that you all enjoyed the
yuletide despite the odds and attendant challenges.
As regards our colleagues and friends who were affected by the Okeke
Hostel, arrangements have been made with the university authority to
relocate all former occupants of the affected hostel to Nkrumah Hostel
temporarily. At such, a memo (attached herein) has been passed to the
Post Graduate Students occupying Nkrumah to vacate so as to give room
for this. Also, all former occupants of Okeke Hostel are also by this
broadcast enjoined to report to Student Affairs Department with a
proof that they are legal occupants of the hostel so they may be given
manual allocation to the alternative hostel.
For those who have lost their hostel allocation slips, please visit
the porter to retrieve a copy, duplicate and return or alternatively,
you may reprint your hostel allocation slip from the university portal
and report at Student Affairs Department with it.
For those who have been given the said temporary accommodation but are
yet to move in due to the presence of PG Students, we plead with you
to be patient with them as they vacate. It is important to note that
the university administration, the SUG and all concerned are doing our
best to give you the succor we can afford at this time of great
challenge.
To all Lions and Lionesses, we welcome you to a new year of new hopes,
expectations and anticipation. May the good Lord grant our heart
desires this year and lead us closer to our dreams.

My New Year Message - Comr. Okeke Chibueze

GREAT LIONS AND LIONESSES!!!
It's the beginning of another journey of 366 days. Looking back we can
all recount so many things that happened in the past year.
The glories
The challenges
The ups and downs
The achievements and failures
The bitter and sweet experience
...and many more
One thing is sure in all these - GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL.

We have come a long way people, we shared in one another's joy and
sadness; we groaned and mourned together; we rejoiced and celebrated
together. One thing has kept us bound and that remains our common
ground.
Despite the odds, I wish to encourage us all to remain united in our
struggle for the welfare of one another. I wish to remind us about an
African philosophy (the UBUNTU) which has its translation in many of
our slogans, whether we are aware of it or not.
In ESGA, we have "Igwe bu ike"
In NAAS, we have "Igwe bu ike"
In NUASS, we have "Onye aghana nwanne ya"
In aluta and solidarity, we have "A pain to one is a pain to all"
... and many more.
In our words, we preach peace and oneness, and this is one thing that
will make us ever indomitable. I therefore enourage us to also do the
same through our actions.
As we journey into 2016, let us determine to bear one another's
burden, thereby fulfilling the law of righteousness.
Together we shall conquer!
Together we shall overcome!
Together we shall excel in all areas of our endeavour!
With God on our side, the sky shall be our starting point.
I wish you the best of the new year.
