The union said that the way the FG was handling the development represented the mockery of global standards of university education . ASUU chairman at the University of Ibadan, Dr Deji Omole , who said this on a radio programme monitored in Ibadan, said the FG could end the strike by implementing the agreement it reached with the union .

He noted that the union would not shy away from embracing purposeful dialogue with the FG over the development. “ASUU has never run away from negotiations. The issue in connection with the strike is about implementation and not negotiation as being peddled by the Minister of Labour , Chris Ngige . It was sad that successive government , inclu

Victor Moses, Mikel, Ighalo Risk World Cup Ban In Yaounde Nigeria’s leading scorer in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers Victor Moses, skipper Mikel Obi and comebacking striker Odion Ighalo risk a second booking in Yaounde, which could cause them to be banned for next month’s qualifying game at home against Zambia. A second booking in the qualifiers will fetch a player a one-match suspension. Ighalo was the latest player to be booked in the qualifiers after he displayed a tribute to Jesus on his inside shirt after he scored the all-important opening goal against Cameroon yesterday. Victor Moses, who posted another Man-of-the-match performance against Cameroon and is the leading scorer for Nigeria in the qualifiers, as well as Mikel are also walking a tight rope after they were cautioned in previous qualifiers. Victor Moses was cautioned in the 3-1 win over Algeria in November, while Mikel’s name got into the referee’s bad books two minutes to the end of the 2-1 win against Zambia in Nd

Oshiomhole’s attack on agitators sparks anger Posted By: Our Reporter On: August 24, 2017 In: Featured, News, News Update WhatsApp For about five minutes, proceedings were held up and tempers flared yesterday at the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC)-organised colloquium on restructuring. Shocked dignitaries watched as former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole was heckled. The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, was among the eminent guests. Oshiomhole’s claim that those agitating for restructuring were those who lost out in the 2015 election sparked the outrage, which was eventually stopped by NLC President Ayuba Wabba. Some of those at the event were shouting “no, no!”, but Wabba intervened to calm frayed nerves. The one-day Colloquium had the theme: “The Labour movement and the future of united Nigeria: What role for restructuring.” Oshiomhole advocated the review of the revenue allocation formula in favour of states and local governments, saying the provision had not been

SEE 10 Main Reasons Why The Church Should Not Abandon Politics Recent events have raised the issue, Should the pulpit always avoid politics? It depends on what we mean by "politics;" it demeans the pulpit to use it for partisan politics. But here are ten reasons why I don't think politics and religion should (or even can) be completely separate: 1) The Word of God has something to say about all of life, beyond just the spiritual. My long-time pastor, Dr. D. James Kennedy, once noted that the Church of Jesus Christ has always been opposed to abortion---from the very beginning. It still is. In the last generation, abortion has become a "political" issue. Does that mean, asked Dr. Kennedy, we should now ignore it in the pulpit? No, because the Bible is pro-life. 2) The Bible itself addresses the issue of governing in different texts. There are biblical books dealing with political rulers---1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, Judges. In Genesis and in Daniel, we se

Leaders of the groups identified as General Iyoyo Playboy (NDPDF), General Ben (CML) and General Billy Anaeja, warned that re-arrest of Kanu would cause spontaneous attacks in major states in the country.

This is a high-tech security office: Bullet-proof, sound-proof and airtight. From the heavily coated ceiling, to the cast wall, the sealed windows, the concrete floor and the thick security door, even ant cannot enter this office. But the presidency, thinking of us all as brainwashed sycophants, is proud to say that rodents invaded an office that is more secure than bank vault. By Alfred Paul

I GUMALE CEMENT By Tion Paul Tyover, Following information by Tahav Agerzua to the effect that work is ongoing at Igumale Cement Factory by Chinese Company which according to him, does not need website to operate and any one in doubt should visit the company, I was in Igumale for the Burial of Chief David Attah and a team of journalist.
