He stated that the purpose of the meeting was to consider the

first semester results of 2016/2017 Academic Session to be

presented by Deans of Schools.

The timely presentation of the results to the Academic

Board would go a long way in solving a lot of problems

amongst students, parents, teachers and other

stakeholders. He cited an example of medical doctors that

whenever they conducted a successful surgical operation

to a patient they celebrated that mission had been

accomplished, while the teachers were not celebrating on

the approved results of the successful students. He advised

members of the Board to imbibe the culture of celebrating

on each results that were successfully presented and

approved by the Board as passed list.

He informed members that a National Workshop organized

by the School of Arts and Secondary Education held at Mal.

Nasir El-Rufa’I Hall few months back where he represented

the Provost at the Workshop. One of the presenters stated

that it was easier to study in F.C.E, Zaria than to collect

result. This was associated with the laxity of some lecturers

who were not marking the results in good time. Some

HODs were not properly supervising the lecturers to

Computer Science Department which would coordinate all

departments, schools, students and outside with a view to

downloading specific Student’s result electronically from the

achieving excellence.

Heads of Departments/Units were to invite external

persons that were chief lecturers from other schools to

i. It was observed that there was mass failure of the

exams conducted in the School. This was attributed to

the issue of late admission and the students were

registered and allowed to sit for the exams without

meeting the minimum of 75% attendance. The Board

blamed the Deans and Heads of Departments for

allowing students that came late to sat for the

examination.

ii. The number of students were reducing especially

Department of Home Economics and Applied Arts. It

shows a dangerous sign to the to the system which if

care were not taken it would led to staff downsizing

as it was not commensurate with the required NCCE

Minimum Standard of 1:30 teacher and students ratio.

The Board advised the affected departments to do

some exhibition, career guidance to students in the

secondary schools with a view to bringing in new

students that would raise the number of enrolment.

iii. It was observed that the report on the results

consideration at the School level was not sent to the

Provost. Henceforth, all results considered at the

School level should be forwarded to the Provost.

151.8.2.3 Resolution:

The Board considered and approved the results as

presented.

151.8.7.2 Observationsi. It was observed that some departments (Cultural and

Creative Arts, Theatre Arts and CRS) were having small number of students and that portrait a bad signal as already highlighted to the similar departments at various schools.The Protem Chairman responded that lack of adequate students in some departments showed that there was a poor coordination between the affected departments and other stakeholders. These stakeholders included, the immediate community, immediate secondary schools, States Ministry of Education, Film industries etc.He further advised heads of the affected departments to liaise with the appropriate stakeholders by organizing sensitization lectures at secondary schools and film industries. He cited an example with Hausa department when he was a Dean, School of Languages, where they liaised with Karrywood film industry and invited two famous actors in persons of Ali Nuhu and Sani Danja for an event in Hausa Department in the College.

151.8.7.3 Resolution:The Board considered and approved results as corrected.

151.9.2 A member (Pastor John Apeabu) informed members of the

Board that he was not happy on the process of the last

election conducted for the selection of two members that

would represent the Board in the Governing Council, where he

contested, but deliberately deprived his chance of becoming

one of the two members that would represent the Board in the

Council.

He levelled the allegation against the Registrar who

manipulated the process under the pretense that some

members cast their votes by writing his name with a title of

Doctor.

He further stated that he kept mute on the wrong process

adopted by the Registrar during the election, because it

affected his personality and he did not want members to think

he was desperate to become a Council Member, representing

the Board. However now he deemed it necessary to draw the

attention of the Board being the highest body of the College

on academic matters and other related matters to be just and

fair in all its dealings in order to protect its image.

151.9.3 The Registrar responded to the above allegation levelled

against him by Mr. John Apeabu that he deliberately deprived

his chance of becoming one of the two members that would

represent the Academic Board in the Governing Council by

rigging the election process that was conducted during a

nominations of Dr. Yusuf Sule Dantani and Mrs. Halima

Sidi Bamalli to represent the Board in the Governing

Council after scoring the highest votes of forty-nine (49)

respectively.

In view of the foregoing, the Registrar informed

cast and declaring the winners.

The Protem Chairman of the Board appealed to the

aggrieved parties to be courteous and put the matter

to rest or to present it before the Provost when he

returned from the lesser haji.

of power point presentation of the first semester NCE

(regular) results by the Board. He requested that copies of

the moderated results should be provided and signatures in

the soft copies should be appended in the subsequent

results. Also a need to have a bigger hall that would

consideration of results at the school level.ii) Lecturers should mark exams scripts in good time,

submit the result and the departmental exams officers compute the results in good time.
