Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'Journal of Parasitology'. In their report on Parasitic Infections and Malnutrition in Children Aged 1-16 Years in Omu Community via Ijebu- Ode they mention that The prevalence of parasitic infections and malnutrition are still on a high side in Nigeria. A cross- sectional survey to obtain anthropometric, parasitological and socio- economic data of the children in Omu community of Ogun State, Nigeria was carried-out. Anthropometric data were expressed as weight for age (WAZ), height for age (HAZ), weight for height (WAH) using Z-scores and Gomez method. Parasitological examinations of stool and blood samples were done through wet preparation, formaldehyde-ether concentration and Giemsa staining method. Results of nutritional status and parasitosis of 284 children investigated revealed A. lumbricoides 17.9%, Hookworm 2.1%, Trichuris trichiura 0 .7%, mixed infection 1.1% and malaria parasite 50.7% while percentage underweight was 39.4%, stunting 25.5%, wasting 31.2% using Z- Scores and percentage underweight was 29.6% and stunting 23.2% using Gomez method. Only stunting was associated with gender (x2=7.1, p<0.05) but underweight and wasting were Not (x2=2.27; p>0.05 and x2=0.26; p>0.05). The present study was embarked upon to investigate prevalence of parasitic infections and malnutrition in Omu-ijebu, Nigeria. The study revealed high prevalence of both parasitic infections and malnutrition despite government efforts in combating the menaces. Government needs to do more in the area of provision of social amenities and other infrastructure. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Adebusuyi Sunday Adejola and Amoo Abimbola Oladipupo Joseph as valuable intellectuals for the Nigeria offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world.

The study confirmed that parasitosis and malnutrition still constitute major health problem in the study community. Many children in the study area are malnourished. Prevalence of Soil transmitted helminthes are on the high side. Local method of defecating is still being practiced.
In conclusion, this study shows high prevalence of parasitic infections (A. lumbricoides 17.9%, Hookworm 2.1% and Malaria 50.7%) and malnutrition exist synergistically among school children in Omu community to the level of public health significant and called for control measures.
It is therefore necessary for health planners to take adequate measures in combating these menaces, which should includes improving sanitary food and water storage, provision of first aid boxes and give necessary education to the children and their parents or guardians on basic personal hygiene. The common practice of defecating on the open ground and near drinking water sources should be discouraged out rightly. All schools should be provided with toilet facility, clean drinking water, well design kitchen and minimum health facilities. Government at all level should know that’ investment in education that is not accompanied by investment in the health and nutrition of school children is a net loss for a country.
Gaining the consent of parents / guardians of some of the children who participated in the study was difficult despite letter of authority from Local Government Education Authority.

ABC News Reports Crossbench still against higher education bills despite backdown
A Federal Government move to sideline a $1.9 billion budget cut to higher education courses and push ahead with fee deregulation has failed to sway the Senate crossbench. The measures — fee deregulation and the funding cut — were at the heart of the Coalition's university overhaul, which seemed doomed to fail for a second time in the Senate and have now been split into two separate pieces of legislation. The original bill faced heavy opposition, with only one crossbench senator out of eight publicly prepared to back it — far short of the six votes required. But hiving off the budget cut to a separate vote has not won over the vote — with at least five crossbench senators telling the ABC they will not vote for the core deregulation legislation.Shop Adidas Shopping accessories and 10 Moves to Tone Your Thighs, and Legs
