Court orders ASUU to call off strike

 

The Academic Staff Union of Universities was told to end its ongoing strike by the Nigerian National Industrial Court on Wednesday.



According to The PUNCH, ASUU has been on strike since February 14 to emphasize its demands for increased financing for institutions and a review of professors' pay, among other things.


ASUU and the Federal Government had held a number of discussions that came to a stalemate.

As a result, the strike was contested in court by the Federal Government.

According to TheCable, the government requested an interlocutory injunction from the court to stop ASUU from continuing its strike while the court considered the substantive lawsuit. This request was made by the government through its attorney, James Igwe.

British High Commission speaks on Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest

Image
The arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has prompted a statement from the British High Commission (IPOB). While the British High Commission confirm Kanu's arrest, Dean Hurlock, a spokeswoman for the British High Commission, informed TheCable that he was not apprehended in the UK, where he is located.  The IPOB leader, who is also a British citizen, has lived in the UK since fleeing Nigeria in 2017. Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami informed journalists on Tuesday that he was apprehended on Sunday as a result of "collaborative efforts" by Nigerian intelligence and security services. The AGF did not specify where the separatist leader was apprehended, but Hurlock told TheCable that it was outside of the UK when contacted.  He claimed through text message, "We can certify that Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested in the UK for extradition grounds."  Kanu was detained for the first time on October ...

Nigeria vs. Mexico: The Super Eagles get thrashed by the Tricolor in the United States.

Image
 After a 4-0 loss to Mexico, the Super Eagles had a disappointing outing in the United States.  In the game, Hector Herrera scored two goals, while Jonathan dos Santos and Rogelio Fumes Mori each scored one. Anayo Iwuala made some spectacular runs down the flank, but the team was too disjointed for him to be understood. On Sunday, July 4, Mexico defeated Nigeria's Super Eagles 4-0 in an international friendly match at the Memorial Coliseum's United Airlines Field. The game got off to a bright start for the Tricolor, with Hector Herrera of Atletico Madrid opening the score for his South American side just two minutes into the contest. In the second minute, Hector made a move down the right side of the 18-yard box to jab the ball into the net, but while clearing the ball out, a Nigerian defender played it into his own net, giving their hosts the lead. Mexico's Hector Bellerin scored the game's first goal against Nigeria in a friendly match. AFP photo by Frederic J. BROWN ...
