For a better use of pagination create a function in your helper. That will very useful for you for future use. you don't ever need to load library and other values. fix this function in your helper.

if( ! function_exists('createPaginationForm')) {
    function createPaginationForm($url, $totalRows, $perPage, $segment, $queryString = '', $config = array()) {
        $CI =& get_instance();
        $CI->load->library('pagination');
        $config['base_url'] = base_url().$url;
        $config['total_rows'] = $totalRows;
        $config['per_page'] = $perPage;
        $config['uri_segment'] = $segment;
        $CI->pagination->initialize($config);
        return $CI->pagination->create_links($queryString);
    }
}

and use in your controller .

var $perPage = '10';
var $segment = '4';
$total_result = "50";
$pagination = createPaginationForm('admin/news/index/',$total_result ,$this->perPage, $this->segment);
$this->data['pagination'] = $pagination;

and print this in your view.

echo $pagination
