EX-UI LECTURER RETURNS N.5M FOUND IN ACCOUNT - AS VC COMMENDS HER

A former lecturer of the University of Ibadan, Mrs Anuoluwa Iyanu, has indicated her willingness to return a sum of N487, 901. 91 mistakenly paid into her account after she had resigned her appointment with the university.
Mrs Iyanu, who was a lecturer in the departments of Computer and later Electrical Electronics between 1995 and 1999, said after she had resigned from the university, her salary was paid for sometime before it was finally stopped.
According to her, “I discovered a sum of N487, 901.91 in my account which I am planning to return to the university. I am now retired and away from the country, I will make necessary arrangements to return the money to the university,” she said in a letter addressed to the Deputy Bursar, Mr Michael Alatishe.

UNIBEN, UI TO BEGIN COURSES IN CORRUPTION STUDIES

University of Ibadan and the University of Benin have indicated interest in running modules and courses on Corruption Studies, according to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

The chairman of the commission, Mr. Ekpo Nta, who disclosed this in Calabar, said once the curriculum is developed and approved, resources and lecturers drawn from Nigeria and international organisations would be readily available to teach the course.

He noted that it had become necessary to introduce such courses on ethics and corruption because Nigerians have a poor knowledge of the consequence of corruption, hence the need to teach it in schools.
