Federal Polytechnic Nekede Deploys Turnitin Software To Check Plagiarism,Emerges First Polytechnic In Eastern Nigeria To Do So
Federal Polytechnic Nekede has acquired a special software called Turnitin to check incidences of plagiarism bedeviling the academia. This development, according to officials of the software company, has effectively made the institution the first Polytechnic East of the Niger that has so deployed the technology which can detect academic fraud within five minutes.

Meanwhile, the digital Rector of Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Engr. Dr. Michael Arimanwa FNSE, JP, has expressed the commitment of his institution to bequeath a culture of excellence and integrity through the deployment of the anti-plagiarism software, Turnitin.
The Rector made this remark Wednesday at a seminar organized for members of the Anti-Plagiarism Committee of the polytechnic held at the council chambers. The successful deployment of the software, according to the poly chief, is in consonance with the culture of excellence which his administration has enthroned in the running of the polytechnic.

According to the award-winning Rector, “The idea of the software is to check all forms of dishonesty in publications and intellectual enterprise. It will contain the recurrence of intellectual theft amongst academics. The software is also programmed to identify the source of any copied work with the aim of exposing the people involved.”
To this end, the polytechnic chief executive has advocated the setting up of an institutional repository to contain the published works of lecturers in the institution. This, according to the Rector, will make it easy for scholars to put their works online to test or protect their integrity.

The Rector used the occasion to condemn the menace of plagiarism which he identified as a factor undermining hard work amongst scholars. He cited the case of a certain Reader in a university whose papers failed the anti-plagiarism test, prompting the university to demote him to the rank of lecturer I, in addition to his forfeiting promotion for five years after the said event. He therefore warned that lecturers must imbibe the culture of hardwork so as not to be caught in the web of plagiarism.
Moving forward, the Rector hinted that all lecturers would soon be required to send digital copies of their works so that they could be published online.
He also promised to deploy the Turnitin software in the areas of continuing education and distance learning. “This will enable people who cannot leave their locations at any material time to receive lectures while some distance away,” the Rector concluded.

Rector Arimanwa also enjoined members of the committee to work hard so that they would in turn train others in the community. He thanked them for their commitment over the years to the anti-plagiarism fight, promising henceforth to deploy the technology on any work that would be sent for external assessment.
The climax of the ceremony was the formal presentation of the evidence of the anti-plagiarism software registration to the Rector by the Polytechnic Librarian, Dr. Chris Enyia, who also expressed joy that the institution had successfully subscribed to the latest version of the software, thanking the Rector for his noble vision in repositioning the polytechnic for excellent strides.

It is noteworthy that the Turnitin software aims at ensuring integrity in global education in order to improve learning outcomes. Records show that over 90% of performing universities globally have deployed the software.
Remarkably, Federal Polytechnic Nekede is the first polytechnic in Eastern Nigeria (southsouth and southeast) to deploy the technology and the third in Nigeria after Yaba College of Technology and Federal Polytechnic Ede.

Hon. Amadichi stressed this recently in an exclusive interview with the New Telegraph Newspaper in his Abuja Office on Monday.In swift response to questions bordering on issues surrounding the Diaspora campaign finding of Mr Peter Obi to ascertain its legality or breach of law, Hon. Amadichi said there is no breach of law whatsoever rather the opposition are only jittery of the havoc Mr Obi and the Labour Party will cause them in the elections next year having been accepted both home and abroad despite statements that Mr. Obi and the party has no structure.Hon. Amadichi noted that if there’s any breach of law, the candidate would not have involved himself knowing fully what is legal and illegal to do and would have been advised rightly, while recalling that President Buhari enjoyed same Diaspora funding in 2015 when Nigerians abroad believed in him and the so-called Change Mantra and till date no one called for his head on that matter.The Diaspora Committee Chairman said the electoral law is very clear on the funding which only exempted the parties being funded abroad and not the candidates and as such, Peter Obi is free from the accusations especially where he never asked for the funding but getting it as support from Nigerians who believe in him for a New Nigeria.He said, “It’s all about the noise on Diaspora Fund raising for Peter Obi and Labour Party””Since the inauguration of my Committee to handle the Diaspora Affairs of Labour Party, the opposition parties in Nigeria are restless and so afraid as Peter Obi/Labour Party is not only accepted in Nigeria but hugely accepted by Nigerians in Diaspora”Amadichi added that a new Nigeria is coming and will only be birth at this point in time by Mr Obi, Sen. Datti and the Labour party because of the well articulated proposals and engagements as well as wide acceptance of the candidates.”Take it from me, a New Nigeria is possible come 2023″I am Obidient and I am the Structure”, Hon. Amadichi concluded.ThankGod Emeh…
