its a well-known military fact that the element of surprise is crucial and central to warfare and tactics (Ivan Clauswitz); even in modern warfare, where technology reigns supreme, the element of surprise is still fundamental. So, how do we describe the media burhahah and jingoism that trail the announcements that the junior minister of defense and the security chiefs are relocating to Sokoto to fight terror to finish??? Would the terrorist go on a nap upon seeing this media jingoism and brigandage??? The terrorists have also long taken to social media and live chats to advance their ideologies and do advocacy and social marketing. impunity of the highest order with blatant and arrogant display of ransom wealth to enable them to recruit would-be members to their folds as well. Just Musing and walking by

This is a Special announcement to all Students. The Department And indeed the entire Faculty of Administration degree programmes shall be subjected to the accreditation process of NUC, Abuja, starting 2nd November to 12th November, 2014. I expect all students to behave in the best of manners expected before our August visitors. I would not tolerate or condone rowdy behaviour that characterised the last PG accreditation by undergraduate students of the department. It was intolerable for a picture taking session in front of the Department to become a rowdy market of sort.

URGENT EXAMS NOTICE: As Usual, all complaints about the just released results today shall be entertained within three weeks of the release starting from 9th September, 2014. However, given past experiences, we have properly defined what the complaint are in the result. Please note that a student can only complain if there is "Missing Score" to the results or that it reflects absent or no scores to a course that is duly registered for in the portal. Anything short of this is not a complaint. As such verification of results is defined by these parameters.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT to all existing student of the Department. This is to inform you that we have been overwhelmed by complaints arising from the recent results released Online. The Portal and ExamsLogic are distorting the real results and it is also not capturing carry overs. We have also observed significant variance between what we have in the Department and what is online. We have gotten in touch with the engineers on this problem and are trying to resolve the conflicts therein. To that effect, we have decided in the interim to release hard copies of the results for First semester 2013/2014 on Notice Board of the Department. Please Circulate till it gets to all.
