BSU Students Beg Governor Ortom Over Prolonged Strike | Naijacontain



Students of the Benue State University, Makurdi on Wednesday begged Governor Samuel Ortom to resolve his dispute with their striking lecturers so that they would return to class.

Mr Tersoo Dooga, President of the varsity’s Students Union Government, who led members of the executive council on a visit to the governor, urged Ortom to negotiate with the lecturers “in the interest of the 
students”.

“The strike has a negative effect on the students, their parents, guardians and the institution.
“The strike will also affect the quality of education and frustrate the students as their graduation will be delayed,” he said.
In his response, Ortom said that government had taken steps to tackle the complaints of the lecturers, and assured the students that the strike would soon be called off.
He cautioned students against being used as thugs by desperate people, saying that his government had eliminated the vice from Benue.
Recall that the lecturers had been on strike for more than two months over  government’s reluctance to incorporate them into the National Health Insurance Scheme.
The lecturers also want government to incorporate them into the contributory pension scheme and pay the arrears of their earned allowance from 2009 to 2016.

In January, seven Niger soldiers were killed and 17 wounded in an attack in Toummour, which is located in the east of Diffa close to the Lake Chad basin, a st...

Best Laptops for proggramming 2020

Image
  Programming can be done on many different types of machines but many programmers want something more than just a basic laptop. Screen size is really important when selecting a laptop for programming. You'll get more on a 14-inch screen and higher than a smaller one (it's easier to read through code and make GUI adjustments. Of course, with a bigger display you sacrifice portability).   The best laptops for programming are much more than devices that can run code editors. While you don't necessarily need a powerful machine for programming on, spending a little more on a device with plenty of RAM and a modern multi-core processor can really pay off, as they are able to compile code much more quickly. And, the less time you have to spend waiting for your laptop to complete complex tasks, the more time you have to do other things – such as take on more projects. The best laptops for programming will help you test and run the apps, websites or games you've cr...
