Benefits of technology include increased productivity in many work-related and personal tasks.

Information technology jobs fall within the full spectrum of computer technology and business.

This is a career that benefits any business by allowing companies to work more efficiently and to maximize productivity. And with that comes faster communication, electronic storage and the protection of important documentation.

Five reasons why you should do an information technology course

1.Variety of career choices

Information technology is incredibly diverse and it’s not just about fixing computers or laptops. This course will allow you to take your career in a number of different directions. Careers vary from a technical writer, web developer, information technology director, chief technology officer and so much more. IT graduates will also be prepared to specialize in far wider areas of interest. The job market in computing and information technology is growing. These jobs require skill, training and a logical thinking process. Many of these careers are demanding and stressful but most offer a hefty financial reward.

2.You can see what you’re studying

The biggest part of studying information technology is practical. Doing an information technology course, you won’t just learn the theoretical part but also get the opportunity to make things. With that, you can change or adjust things and implement what you’ve learned. Knowledge is important to any career field. It’s sometimes better to see what you’re learning by actually doing it. That way you’ll remember things quicker and longer and become successful in your field.

3.Flexible work style

When you’re looking for a job, your personal preferences count. If you prefer working on your own, there are jobs out there in information technology allowing you to do so. You’ll be able to work according to your own schedules. Being flexible will also lead to better teamwork. For instance, when you have a doctor’s appointment you’ll have enough time to attend it.

Working yourself up the ladder can enable you to earn great money. Bear in mind, as a recent graduate only setting your foot in the door now, you won’t earn as much as someone with years in the industry. However, you can expect some pretty high salaries in your future, especially if you’re specializing in a research area or programming language.

5.Always in demand

As mentioned earlier, there are many careers to follow when specializing in information technology. As technology progresses the need for information technology professionals will only increase.

Federal Government Approves N25bn Earned Allowances For ASUU

The government said the cash was aside the N20 billion that was released in 2018 to public universities.

Adamu Adamu, the minister of education said this at his valedictory press conference in Abuja, on Tuesday.

Adamu said: “Let me inform you that the federal government has just approved an additional N25 billion to be shared to beneficiary institutions directly. Last year, the federal government released N20 billion directly to universities. As I speak, all universities have got their share of the N20 billion.

“The sad news is that the N200 billion that was released to the Central Bank of Nigeria since 2013 for the universities has not been fully accessed. In specific terms, all the 73 public varsities have accessed the 1st tranche of 50 percent of the N200 billion.

“For the second tranche of 40 percent, only 56 institutions have been able to access their funds. The last 10 percent representing the third tranche of the N200 billion has not been accessed at all.”

Oh No! Not Again. ASUU threatens strike over implementation of 2019 agreement

The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Wednesday said that its members should not be held responsible if there is any disruption in the university system, as the Federal Government had not shown commitment to carrying out the 2019 Memorandum of Action.

The ASUU National President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, stated this at a briefing in Abuja, to give an update on the ongoing renegotiation with the government and to clear the air over the N25billion confirmed by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, to have been approved for universities.

Ogunyemi said the N25 billion was meant to be a part-payment of the Earned Academic Allowances and should have been released between February 15 and 28, 2019, as agreed. But this was not done.

He said, “Since information on the amounts mentioned in the media went round, the ASUU has been inundated with enquiries on the union’s perspective to the story.

“Funding for the revitalisation of public universities has for years been of very high priority to ASUU.

“Reaching an agreement with the Federal Government has often been a frustrating journey for our union. It is often marked with protests, strikes and requires a conscious and focused engagement. The 2001 agreement, which gave birth to the 2009 agreement, was not an exemption. The exception here is the personality leading the government negotiation team.

“The current leadership of the government team clearly lacks the academic disposition and humility needed to undertake such task.

“Our members enjoy their work and hate to see any disruption in the smooth running of our universities. However, the level of frustration occasioned by the lackadaisical attitude of the government towards meeting the terms of the 2019 Memorandum of Action that was freely signed with our union is increasingly becoming unbearable.

“We, therefore, call on all Nigerian patriots, parents and students including the Nigeria Labour Congress to prevail on the government to keep to the terms of our agreement. Otherwise, our union should not be held responsible for any disruption in the system.”
