ASUU strike


The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Taraba State University chapter, on Wednesday

 resumed indefinite strike to press home its demands. ASUU strike The union had embarked on a

strike in 2018 but suspended it when the Taraba government promised to meet its demands which

included the payment of earned academic allowances from 2014 till date, and the provision of

required infrastructure to enhance teaching and learning. Dr Samuel Shikaa, the branch Chairman,

and Dr Atando Agbu, the Secretary, in a statement shortly after the Executive Council Meeting with

national officials in Jalingo, said that the teachers would remain at home until the demands were met.

The union said that the law establishing the university, which specified adequate funding for the

institution, had been abandoned by the state government. “Law no 4 of 2008 specified that five per

 cent of the state allocation, five per cent of the Local Government allocation and two per cent of all

contracts will be used in funding the university, but all of these have been neglected. “If you go round

the university, you will discover that a part from the library and senate building which are still under

construction, every other buildings you will see are constructed and furnished by the Tertiary

Education Trust Fund. “If you refer to this university as TET Fund University, you will not be wrong

because the few infrastructures here are provided by the fund,” he said. In a reaction, Mr Ande Boyi,

President, National Association of Nigerian Students (NASS), Taraba State University chapter, 

appealed to Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba to  meet the union’s  demands to enable students continue

 with their studies. Breaking :“Now that the strike has been declared, the student body is appealing to 

Ishaku to immediately meet the demands of ASUU to ensure that students don’t stay at home for

long,” he said. He lamented that students had just resumed from the nationwide strike only to be

 confronted by another round of strike. ASUU restates commitment to 2019 Memorandum of Action with FG

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
