Official: Nigeria Senate Votes Yes To Delete NYSC From Constitution – NO NYSC from 2018?


This is the question in the heart of Nigerian students and parents, as this event unfold in our eyes.  The Nigeria Senate has voted to remove the compulsory National Youth Service Scheme from the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This news has been trailed by Nigerians for been good and same time bad. In twitter platform, where Nigerians are allowed to express their thought in 150 words, some said that this is good news for many young Nigerians, while others claim it’s bad. However it doesn’t mean that NYSC is now not compulsory for university leavers.

This is a first step in allowing the Nigerian lawmakers to amend the NYSC decree. This development comes as many Nigerian youth claim that they are fed up with the non-productive nature of the scheme, and have long since been clamoring for its termination.


An overwhelming majority of eighty eight (88) Senators has already voted for the removal of the NYSC decree from the Constitution, whilst 3 Senators voted against the amendment vote. Making the notion grow stronger.
The Nigeria lawmakers were very busy during their session on the 26th of July, as they also voted on 32 other constitutional amendments, which also include voting for the reduction of the age at which a Nigerian can run for President, governor and local government. The Lawmakers also vote positive for the removal of the land use act from the constitution.
What do you think, Will NYSC officially be scrapped from Nigeria?

Businesses you can start in the university while studying Your career


What do Microsoft, Napster, Dell and Facebook have in common?
In addition to being part of the most famous companies of the last quarter of a century, they were all created by university students .
Did you know? Of course, not everyone can be the next Mark Zuckerberg, but starting a small business while studying is definitely possible.
There are many options that require little or no start up capital and can be done without having an office.
Studying at the University can help you form important contacts as well as help you pay for tuition, housing or expenses that arise.
In case you have been having in mind to start a business while studying in the university, but have no Idea of what type of business to start, campuspeep is here today to share with you some good ideas that can get that business started.

Here are ideas to start a business while you study the career:

1. Consultant in information technologies (IT)
IT is one of the few sectors where having too much experience can be counterproductive.
University students typically have fresher knowledge of new technologies.
If you do not feel confident promoting yourself as an IT consultant, inform your colleagues that you are open to helping them with their computer problems.
From there you can start generating a portfolio of clients.

2. Social media consultant
University students know exactly what the trends are in social networks, can you dispute that?
Of course NOT.
Use this knowledge and experience to advise small businesses on their digital strategy.
Take them beyond Facebook and LinkedIn by introducing other channels to make your messages known.

3. Graphic design
This business is based more on creativity and talent than on experience.
Students in this career should take their best schoolwork to build their portfolio, design their business cards well and build a website.
And from there, start calling customers.

4. Website design
Young people are more exposed to digital design tools.
Many have already done so for school projects or personal blogs.
These sites can be used as examples to show small clients who will give you extra money and experience.

5. Photography
Thanks to platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook, the world is getting used to using still images to communicate.
With the increasing need for visual content, the demand for amateur photographers has also increased.
Thanks to the technology, these works can have a lot of quality, something much wanted by small businesses.

6. Event Planning
College students attend more parties than any other public and even if you do not believe it, you can use this experience in a business.
Planning an event requires attention to detail, organization, the ability to do more than one thing at a time and creativity.
If you have these qualities, start a business at your school and become the person you have to turn to to plan important activities.
Remember that you can (and should) professionalize your work with each business.

7. Personal trainer
Personal trainers have flexible schedules and can work almost anywhere.
Investigate what type of certification is required in your locality to be able to exercise this alternate activity.

8. Makeup Artist
There are more and more women in universities, a challenge that exists in most Latin American countries. This offers the perfect opportunity to start a small business focused on the female audience.
Make-up artists can earn money by helping their mates get ready before big events.
They can even achieve fame through videotutorials of make-up in social networks (especially in YouTube).
Good content attracts followers to videos as well as juicy sponsorships.

9. Gardening
It is a good business that you can take during the holidays. Your peers’ parents, your parent’s friends or even your campus neighbors can be great customers.
Do not forget that even if it is a business that you start in college, it is still a real business (which carries with it real risks and benefits).
Regardless of what you do, you must exercise it with the maximum professionalism possible, have warranty policies and if possible, insurance.
The important thing is that these businesses will help you pay your debts and open the door for a stronger future venture.

ASUU Reveals Why It Suspended Strike, When It Will Resume Another Action


The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has explained why it called off its over one-month industrial action.

ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi, disclosed that the decision was reached after an extensive consultation process with relevant stakeholders.

In a statement he signed, Ogunyemi, said the body took into cognizance major proposals from government.

Ogunyemi, however, placed a deadline of October ending for government to meet up with its promises.

The statement reads in part: “After an elaborate and extensive consultation process, the National Executive Council (NEC) of ASUU has agreed to conditionally suspend the ongoing action, taking into cognizance that major proposals from government to address the contending issues in the strike action has a deadline of the end of October, 2017.

“All members of ASUU are to resume work after their branch congresses tomorrow, 19th September, 2017. However, ASUU will not hesitate to review its position should government reneges on the signed Memorandum of Action.

“As a Union of intellectuals, ASUU shall not relent in confronting all human and artificial barriers to a transformed university education for the betterment of Nigerians and our dear Nation. For us, this may be a life-time project. We owe it to prosperity, for the sake of our children and their children’s children.

“We thank all Nigerians for their understanding of the irrepressible concern and concerted efforts of ASUU for an educational system and Nigeria of our dream.

“In particular, our appreciation goes to members of the Press and our dear students who at various stages engaged ASUU leadership for clarifications on the basis of our struggle. Together we can make Nigerian universities enviable. Until and unless this happens, ASUU will not rest.”
