The Forum for Justice and Human Rights Defence, FJHD, has called on the Vice Chancellor of University of PortHarcourt to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the 2005/2006 as well as 2006/2007 sets of student of the institution’s sandwich programme running at the College of Education, Warri over alleged illegality.
In a press statement made available to Fresh Angle recently at the Justice House in Udu local government area, the National Co-ordinator of FJHD, Barr. Oghenejabor Ikimi alleged that the 2006/2007 sandwich students of the University of PortHarcourt, College of Education, Warri study centre graduated September, 2009 and September 2010 respectively for a supposed four year programme.
According to him, the 2005/2006 students have written their final examinations and have submitted their project work awaiting the release of their result, while the 2006/2007 set have written their final examinations and are presently putting finishing touches to their project works.
Barr. Ikimi further alleged that the school fees of the students were paid for the programme into an Oceanic bank current account number: 0391301005366 in the name of College of Education, Warri.
The FJHD Co-ordinator explained that after the 2005/2006 set of students completed the programme, the Co-ordinator of the programme, one Mr. Okurume and the Head of Psychology of Education Department, College of Education, Warri, Miss Ajuah recalled the students to attend weekend lectures on Fridays and Saturdays with effect from last week of September 2010 under the pretext that the said programme is now to run for five years.
Fresh Angle reliably gathered that the directive is with a caveat that a school fee of N52,000.00 be paid before they are allowed to write another final examination slated for November 8, 2010. A condition which he alleged is outside the students’ admission letters for either the 2005/2006 set or those of 2006/2007.
