NLC had directed workers to embark on nationwide protests on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 26 and 27, 2022 respectively in solidarity with the ongoing strike by ASUU, which is in its fifth week. Electricity workers in Nigeria under the aegis of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) have announced that they will join the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in its solidarity protests over the lingering Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike this week. Banks and airports may also be shut down as aviation and financial institution workers have previously vowed to join the struggle. However, security agencies, especially the police have warned the NLC to obtain permission from state police commands before embarking on the protests. But lawyers and civil society organisations have accused the government of President Muhammadu Buhari of trying to intimidate protesters and demonstrators, saying Nigeria’s Constitution gives citizens the right to protest peacefully without hindrance. ASUU, the umbrella body of the Nigerian University lecturers embarked on a four-week warning strike on February 14 to demand the implementation of the 2009 FG/ASUU agreement, which stipulates funding arrangements for university education in the country. After the expiration of the warning strike, it was extended following the government’s failure to agree on the implementation plan. The government has since said it lacks the financial resources to implement the agreement and efforts to broker a new agreement have since ended in a deadlock. However, ahead of Tuesday’s protest, the General Secretary of NUEE, Comrade Joe Ajaero, has directed all its members to participate in the protest over the prolonged closure of tertiary institutions. Ajaero in a letter dated July 22, said “In line with the NLC’s directive and our position, which was made known at the Central Working Committee and National Executive Council meeting of Congress,” the letter reads. “All members of the union are enjoined to massively mobilise and actively participate in the NLC/ASUU solidarity protest against the continued closure of the nation’s tertiary institutions, scheduled for July 26/27, 2022. “You are encouraged to work with the leadership of State Executive Councils of the congress in your various states with a view of having a successful outing. Aluta Continua!” |

I think it's the culture of the northern people that we should all blame for this because the culture state that 'a female child should be given out in marriage to even start her first menstrual circle in her husband's house' Early marriage like this is a social vices that should be abolished but people aren't talking about the culture and traditions but those found doing it. |

On February 18 this year, an alarm was raised at a correctional centre in Adamawa State. A former Boko Haram fighter, Wilberforce Yohanna, had just been recruited as a staffer of the Yola New Custodial Centre in the state. Documents obtained by this newspaper on the security situation at the prison facility showed that Mr Yohanna’s Boko Haram background was detected following the dexterity he displayed with gun handling during training. “While on training, he was found to be more versatile in the use and operations of firearms,” the leaked files obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, revealed. “Upon further interrogation and collaborative findings, he confessed to having been abducted and held hostage by members of the Boko Haram for two (2) years.” The new prison official also confessed to having gotten training in heavy weapon handling from a Boko Haram base before he escaped their custody, according to the documents. It is unclear if Mr Yohanna’s claim that he fought for Boko Haram against his will is true or if he merely tried to downplay his past. Authorities have so far failed to launch the necessary inquiry needed to scrutinise the prison official’s claim and determine his real past. What is however clear is that Mr Yohanna was a deadly combatant for the terrorist Boko Haram group and the implications of recruiting him into any of the nation’s security services should have been extensively considered. Although the Correctional Service authorities are worried about the recruitment of an ex-terrorist, they are unwilling – or uncertain – about doing anything in Mr Yohanna’s case to avoid getting negative media attention, insiders familiar with the matter said. Asked if the ex-terrorist was profiled before he was recruited, our inside sources said bribery and corruption have compromised the standard of vetting in the correctional service. The insiders said a good number of applicants pay bribes to get placements at the correctional service without going through any rigorous vetting. “Usually vetting is to be done before recruitment but in the Correctional Service, little or no vetting is done,” a top prison official, who asked not to be named because he is not permitted to divulge such information, told PREMIUM TIMES. “People pay for jobs and receive their employment letters at home. Level 8 is sold for 800k, Level 4-7 for 400k.” The Boko Haram ex-combatant and the fear in the atmosphere When authorities found that Mr Yohanna was a former member of the violent Boko Haram group with rare expertise in gun handling, palpable fear and anxiety immediately enveloped the prison facility, insiders said. Officials, who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES but asked not to be identified by name, said poor recruitment exercises allowed Mr Yohanna to enter the workforce of the correctional service, make prison facilities vulnerable to attacks and jailbreaks. This, the officials said, is because “evil planners can easily find compromised, corrupt, or double-dealing correctional service workers to help “their mission from within.” |

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has critised a popular prophet in the state, Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, otherwise known as Odumeje, saying he attempted to stop the demolition of his church building. Mr Soludo stated this on Friday at the governor’s lodge, Awka, while briefing journalists on the ongoing demolition of illegal structures in the state. The cleric’s church building which was partially pulled down on Thursday was among the illegal structures marked for demolition by the state government in Onitsha North council area of the state. During the exercise, some task force members, supervising the demolition were captured in a video clip manhandling the cleric. But during the Friday briefing, which was broadcast live on Facebook, the governor said the cleric’s attempt to stop the demolition prompted the security agencies to intervene “to maintain law and order.” The governor’s statement came hours after he condemned the manhandling of the cleric by members of the task force. “I received an account that he (Odumeje) drove into the place in a very menacing manner, almost rammed into the security officers and he came out and went to accost the guy who was driving the machine (excavator) with intent to stop him from going on (with the demolition),” Mr Soludo said. He said although the cleric was entitled to be treated with “fairness and in humane manner” like every other resident, his administration would resist attempts by anybody to “challenge the state government’s authority and resolve” to maintain law and order in the state. Mr Soludo said he phoned the cleric as soon as he got the details of what transpired during the demolition exercise to hear his side of the story in order “to make a balanced and fair judgment” about the incident. He said the owners of the affected buildings and structures were “sufficiently notified” of the demolition about two months ago, but failed to remove the marked structures, believing that the state government would condone impunity. “I am sure God in his infinite wisdom will be very offended by anybody claiming that he built a church to worship God whereas you use that church to create a circumstance that is killing people and destroying the properties of others,” he stated. No compensation The governor also said the state government would not compensate owners of the demolished illegal structures. He said they would instead be asked to pay the government for the cost of demolition since they failed to remove their illegal structures themselves as earlier instructed. “We had asked the people who built on these (drainage) channels to remove them by themselves. Now, they have failed,” he said. “This demolition is costing us money. It will cost money to take away the debris. By the time we finish, we will put down the cost and send them the bill. They really have to pay for the cost of the demolition,” Mr Soludo added. The governor noted that rather than seek compensation, the owners of the illegal structures should be concerned with how to compensate families of people who lost their lives during a flood caused by these structures last year. “They should be apologising to Ndi Anambra and then pay compensation for the people that their actions have led to their deaths,” the governor said.

The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Ahmed Datti, has said he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because of his stance on not paying delegates during primaries. Mr Datti, who is the running mate to Peter Obi, said he withdrew from the governorship race In Kaduna State because he refused to pay delegates to vote for him. He said the leader of the PDP in Kaduna became ‘afraid of him’. He made these disclosures while appearing on Politics Today, a political Programme on Channels TV on Friday. Many have labelled the Labour Party as an extension of the PDP because both Messrs Obi and Baba-Ahmed left the PDP recently. The former was a presidential aspirant in the party but left days before the National Convention. Speaking on the PDP, Mr Baba-Ahmed said his former party is in stagnation and he had no future in it. “I withdrew from the governorship race because God has not made me to be one that will buy delegates’ votes,” he said “It became clear that they are afraid of me and jittery that I had no future in that party. I had to leave.” Mr Baba-Ahmed said he did not join the presidential race because he believes it is the turn of the south. “In 2018, most of the serious politicians from the south considered it the turn of the north, the Muslim north—stayed back and did not contest. It was a gesture of friendliness and brotherhood. “With due respect to my brothers from the north and Muslims who feel they should contest now, I was of the view that we should reciprocate and nothing more than that,” he said. He also dismissed the claim that Labour Party is only on social media, noting that the party is a moving train that cannot “be bombed”. He said anyone who earns legitimate income as a worker is a member of the party. “Any body who earns legitimate income in Nigeria is by default a member of LP. If you go to work 9am to 5pm, If you engage in any form of legitimate business, by default you are a member of LP. We belong to Nigeria and Nigeria belongs to us. “What is going to hit the ruling party is going to be worse than what happened in 2015. LP is a train, not like the Abuja/Kaduna train. It is hard to blow up this train. The whole of Nigeria is in it. We are blurring all demarcations,” he said. Mr Baba-Ahmed said a Peter Obi government will eliminate fraud in government procurement process and use the ‘pyramid approach’ to address education. He stated that the Labour government will ensure that workers ensure sufficient wages that will last for the entire month.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed that it supervised the primary election that produced Mohammad Abacha as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Kano State. Before the clarification, there had been controversy over who the commission recognised as the gubernatorial candidate between Abacha and Sadiq Wali. “As at the time the PDP primary was conducted in Kano, Shehu Sagagi was the one recognised by the law as the state chairman of the party, who conducted the primary that produced Abacha,” the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. Riskuwa Shehu, told newsmen in Kano, yesterday. However, Abacha and Wali emerged winners of two parallel PDP primaries in Kano, with each of them claiming to be the authentic candidate. On the ongoing voter registration in Kano, the REC said there were 369,651 online applicants, while 380,582 have completed their registration. IN Borno State, the party has passed a vote of no confidence in its Chairman, Zannah Gadama, who was suspended for a month by the seven-member State Working Committee (SWC). Passing the no confidence vote in a communiqué, yesterday, in Maiduguri, the party’s legal adviser, Abdu Jidda, disclosed that Gadama’s deputy, Bunu Satomi, takes over the affairs of PDP in the state. “The leadership of Gadama in the state has been compromised,” he said, describing the suspended chairman as a sell-out to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). According to him, the no confidence vote and suspension were based on the breach of the party’s 2017 constitution by not calling for meetings of the executives and stakeholders. He added that there were allegations of misappropriation of party funds and anti-party activities under Gadama. MEANWHILE, hearing on a suit seeking the disqualification of PDP governorship candidate in Taraba State, Kefas Agbu, has commenced at the Federal High Court, Jalingo. The plaintiff, Prof. Jerome Nyameh, who contested the PDP governorship ticket, is seeking the disqualification of Agbu on the ground that the latter did not purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms. The don wants the court, among other prayers, to restrain Agbu from contesting the governorship seat on the PDP platform in the 2023 polls. Though the suit was adjourned till July 14, the presiding judge, Simone Amobeda, said processes in the matter had been filed. Describing pre-election suits as special matters, he said his court would accelerate hearings on the suit.

Am i the only one seeing the present gas price in this country as a threat to life? Now more than 70% of lagoscians can hardly fill 2kg. Once the price of this gas gets to #1500, they should just close this country and the last person leaving this country should off the light. Now parents are avoiding asking their kids what their best food is because once your child just tell you that it's YAM AND EGG, just faint. What can be done now?? 128 Likes 10 Shares

There is palpable tension in Ogulagha community in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, following the alleged killing of a 27-year-old man, Endurance Oweiye Kalaepele, by military men. It was gathered that the young man was allegedly shot twice by the military men attached to the Forcados Terminal in the area. The community youth president, ThankGod Iyaragba, who spoke to Gbaramatu Voice, said the incident happened on Monday night, June 27. "Around 10 pm yesterday, Monday, June 27, six of the community boys went to the bush behind Forcadoes Terminal, the Pipeline bush, for snail picking, but were intercepted on their way back by military men. One of the boys, Endurance, tried to run out of fear but was shot twice at close range," Iyaragba said. "This prompted the infuriated youths of the community to go on a rampage, destroying company vehicles and property. They have also taken over major roads in the community to express their anger." he added. |
