FG Warns ASUU Against Strike, Vows To Enforce No Work No Pay Policy

ASUU Threatens Nationwide Strike If Federal Government Fails To Meet Demands

Wale busari04 mins

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has threatened to resume its nationwide strike if the Federal Government fails to meet its demands by the end of a one-month ultimatum. ASUU Kano Zonal Coordinator, Abdulkadir Muhammad, issued the warning on Monday during a press conference in Kano following a zonal meeting. The lecturers had suspended their warning strike in October, giving the government a month to address issues relating to staff welfare and the provision of a conducive teaching and learning environment. Muhammad expressed frustration over what he described as the government’s slow approach to renegotiating key agreements aimed at revitalising Nigeria’s public university system. The meeting included representatives from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria; Bayero University Kano (BUK); Kaduna State University (KASU); Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology (ADUSTECH), Wudil; Federal University Dutse (FUD); Northwest University (NWU), Kano; and Sule Lamido University (SLUK), Kafin Hausa. He said the warning follows the report presented at ASUU’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on November 8 and 9 at Taraba State University. NEC expressed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of ongoing negotiations, describing it as a major obstacle to reaching a meaningful resolution. “The suspension of the strike in October was meant to create an enabling environment and a gesture of goodwill toward Nigerians. However, our hope for a holistic and timely resolution of the issues is increasingly being dashed,” Muhammad said. He also criticised certain government officials for allegedly undermining the negotiation process and misleading the public about the state of talks. According to him, the government has yet to show genuine commitment to improving lecturers’ welfare or addressing conditions that drive brain drain in the university system. “What the government has offered will neither improve the working conditions of academics nor attract scholars from other countries to our universities,” he added, noting that some officials have falsely claimed that ASUU’s demands have been met. Muhammad further urged the Federal Government to place a moratorium on the establishment of new state universities, similar to the policy for federal institutions, saying, “Governors have cultivated the habit of establishing universities in their states without commitment to funding them.”

Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno Dismisses Two Aides Amid Restructuring

Wale busari02 mins

Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has relieved two of his aides from their positions, the Secretary to the State Government, Enobong Uwah, announced on Monday. According to Uwah, the move is part of the administration’s “ongoing restructuring exercise to align the machinery of government with the objectives of the Renewed Hope and Arise Agenda,” and Governor Eno has approved their immediate disengagement. The aides affected are Joseph Jacob Ikpak, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, and Felix Ekuri, Senior Special Assistant on Neighbourhood Watch. While the official explanation points to administrative restructuring, sources indicate that the decision may be linked to their attendance at the recent national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ibadan, Oyo State, over the weekend. Both officials were originally appointed by former Governor Udom Emmanuel and were reportedly close to him. Attempts to obtain comments from Ikpak and Ekuri were unsuccessful, as their phones were reportedly switched off.

President Tinubu Orders Immediate Rescue Of 25 Abducted Kebbi Schoolgirls After Vice Principal Killed

Wale busari03 mins

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered security and intelligence agencies to immediately rescue 25 female students abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSSS) in Maga, Kebbi State. The attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday when gunmen stormed the school in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, killing Vice Principal Malam Hassan Makuku, who was reportedly shot while trying to protect the students. The assailants then abducted the schoolgirls, plunging the community into deep mourning. Kebbi Police spokesman, CSP Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed that security operatives have launched a manhunt for the attackers. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said President Tinubu has directed a high-level rescue operation. “President Tinubu has reiterated that protecting every Nigerian, especially schoolchildren, remains a solemn responsibility of the State,” he said. “Security and intelligence agencies have been issued clear directives to locate, rescue, and safely return the pupils, and to ensure that the perpetrators face justice.” The minister assured that the Federal Government would not relent until the girls are safely reunited with their families. He also stated that Nigeria is strengthening cooperation with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union (AU), and the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to secure its borders and dismantle terrorist networks. Furthermore, he revealed that the government is recalibrating the nation’s military, policing, and intelligence capabilities to prevent attacks and respond more rapidly to threats. Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, condemned the attack as unacceptable and called on all security agencies to act urgently and in coordination to secure the safe release of the abducted students. “President Tinubu has directed that the state’s security apparatus swing into immediate action to ensure the abducted students are released unharmed,” he said, urging residents to remain calm as authorities handle the situation. Matawalle also condoled with the family of the late vice principal and with all families affected by the attack.

Ned Nwoko Says He Doesn’t Want Regina Back, Urges Her to Seek Rehabilitation

Wale busari03 mins

Senator Ned Nwoko has addressed the ongoing marital crisis with actress Regina Daniels, stressing that he does not want her back in their home but is focused on her undergoing professional therapy. In a statement shared on Instagram by his media team, Nwoko claimed Regina is “completely under the influence of hard drugs,” dismissing her recent allegations about drugs and sex as “lies from the pit of hell.” A key incident he highlighted involves a bathroom video. Nwoko alleged that Regina had entered his bathroom uninvited, filmed him, and later posted the clip online — an act he described as a clear sign of her erratic and irrational behavior. He also referenced a WhatsApp message sent to her on October 17, which he said was his last documented attempt at reasonable communication. In it, he urged her to return to rehabilitation, warning that he would no longer fund her lifestyle if she refused. He claims her violent outbursts and destruction of property escalated after this message. Nwoko detailed how Regina’s behavior had changed over the past eight months, saying she became neglectful of basic self-care and increasingly influenced by friends who contributed to her chaotic lifestyle. He said he tried to manage the situation patiently, even tolerating her friends’ presence, in the hope of helping her. He called on those close to her to ensure she seeks professional rehabilitation, emphasizing, “If anyone around her claims to love her and care for the kids, they should take her to a respected rehab center. At least let her stay alive for the sake of our two lovely boys.” Senator Nwoko’s position is clear: he does not want reconciliation in the household at this time. His priority is Regina’s recovery, the safety of their children, and preventing further public disturbances, with the bathroom video serving as a striking example of the challenges he has faced in recent months.

President Tinubu Receives Duke Of Edinburgh At State House To Promote International Award

Wale busari01 mins

President Bola Tinubu on Monday hosted Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The Duke is in Nigeria to lead a series of events in Lagos from November 17 to 23, aimed at expanding the reach of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award worldwide. The programme is a non-formal educational framework that helps young people explore their purpose, passion, and potential. The week-long event is set to bring together nearly 200 youths from over 50 countries, along with hundreds of award leaders, policymakers, and representatives of global youth movements. Participants will first undergo a three-day intensive youth leadership programme before taking part in the award’s triennial forum, which focuses on increasing access to the programme globally. Prince Edward was accompanied by Richard Montgomery, British High Commissioner to Nigeria, and other officials, while Nigerian attendees included Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy.

General Uba Confirmed Dead After ISWAP Re-Captures Missing Brigade Commander

Wale busari02 mins

The Brigade Commander of Damboa, General Uba, has now been confirmed dead at the hands of ISWAP fighters, only hours after he was first declared missing during an operation inside the forest. Military insiders revealed that the officer had earlier shared a short video assuring colleagues that he was safe. The footage, where he appeared composed and without injuries, was reportedly captured before his condition took a drastic turn. DailyPost reports that General Uba later became confused while trying to make his way through the forest, triggering an urgent search involving troops on the ground and supporting air units. At a point during the rescue effort, he contacted fellow officers, saying he was already making his way back to base — a message that briefly raised hopes he would be found alive. But after news of his disappearance spread widely, ISWAP was said to have tracked and seized him again. His death was confirmed not long after. The Army had earlier announced that he had successfully returned to base, a statement now contradicted by the unfolding details surrounding his final moments.

Fayose Reignites Feud With Obasanjo, Saying “As Old As You, Yet So Irresponsible”

Wale busari02 mins

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has reignited his long-standing feud with former President Olusegun Obasanjo following his 65th birthday celebration in Lagos. Obasanjo had attended the event and reportedly criticized Fayose for previous personal attacks, stating that he had forgiven him. The gesture was initially seen as a possible reconciliation between the two political figures. However, Fayose responded sharply in a message shared through Obasanjo’s Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Monday. Expressing outrage over the former president’s remarks, Fayose described them as “irresponsible” and attacked Obasanjo’s character. He wrote: “Dear Baba Obasanjo, I appreciate your presence at my birthday party, except for your very irresponsible comments at your age. You went so low, but I am not surprised, because someone once said you are supposed to be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely, that’s where you belong. I remained silent at the function so the world could see the difference between a sane and a mad man. It is also clear that you have lost your sanity—or should I say it is the heightened stage of dementia. Not to worry, Baba. I shall set the records straight in due course.” The message signals that the supposed reconciliation may have collapsed, with tensions between the former governor and ex-president once again coming to the forefront.

UNICAL Suspended Law Dean Prof. Cyril Ndifon Jailed Five Years for Sexual Harassment

Wale busari03 mins

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday sentenced Prof. Cyril Ndifon, the suspended Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Calabar (UNICAL), to five years in prison without an option of fine. Justice James Omotosho ruled that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) had proven counts one and two against Ndifon beyond reasonable doubt. He sentenced the professor to two years for count one and five years for count two, to run concurrently. Sunny Anyanwu, Ndifon’s former lawyer, was acquitted of all charges. The court found that the ICPC failed to establish his involvement in counts three and four, which related to alleged attempts to obstruct justice. Anyanwu had been accused of calling a key witness, TKJ, to discourage her from cooperating with the ICPC. The case stemmed from allegations that Ndifon sexually harassed female students while serving as Dean. In the amended charges, the ICPC said Ndifon pressured TKJ to send indecent images via WhatsApp and demanded sexual favours in exchange for admission into the law programme. He was also accused of exploiting his position to harass multiple female students. During proceedings, the court dismissed the defendants’ no-case submission. Ndifon testified in his own defence, accompanied by a forensic analyst from the Office of the National Security Adviser. In delivering judgment, Justice Omotosho noted that Ndifon abused his office and exerted undue pressure on the student. He described Ndifon as “not a witness of truth” and called his conduct as a Dean “disgraceful” and “predatory.” While Anyanwu was cleared of criminal liability, the judge criticized his conduct as unprofessional, emphasizing that the call to the witness occurred before the formal investigation. The court said the ruling should serve as a warning to public officers who exploit their positions to take advantage of women.
