new study has shown that more students graduating from UK universities are leaving with the highest possible award

A new study has shown that more students graduating from UK universities are leaving with the highest possible award than ever before.

Figures supplied by the Higher Education Statistics Agency from 2015-16 have shown that it is now more common for students to be graduating with a first-class degree than a lower second (2:2). The upper second degree (2:1) remains the most widely awarded degree, awarded to just over 50% of students.

Senate set to shutdown Bet9ja

According to a report by Vanguard, the Nigerian Senate has threatened to shutdown popular online betting plaform, Bet9ja, if the company fails to honor its invitation for a second time. While speaking on Tuesday, in Abuja, during the verification of Lotto companies with license to operate in Nigeria, Chairman, Senate committee on youth and sport, Senator Obinna Ogba, PDP, Ebonyi, who noted that it was unfortunate that Bet9a refused to honour their invitation, said,

 “Clerk, write to Bet9ja again. If they did not honour our invitation again, we will ask the National Lottery Commission to seal their offices.” Senator Ogba who noted that the Senate was making efforts to assist the lottery commission to generate money for the federal government, said,” We wanted to see bet9ja. They can’t runaway,”

According to Senator Ogba, their verification followed series of complains against the betting companies, adding that some do not even have offices while others have not been making remittances to the government. He said that while verifying, about 20 betting companies that honoured Senate invitation, “some got the licenses but they are not operating.
