The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said he is on a rescue mission to save the nation from further sinking under the watch of President Buhari and the APC. Speaking in Damaturu, Yobe State, on Wednesday during the PDP presidential campaign, the former vice president berated the ruling party for dragging the nation backward since it was voted in 2015.

WHY ASUU CALL OFF THE STRIKE?

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has, Thursday, suspended the over three months-old strike it embarked upon since Sunday, 4th November, 2018. ASUU Strike: INEC alleges 2019 Elections under threat The union suspended the strike after a memorandum of Action, MoA, it reached with the Federal government towards the revitalisation of public universities. The ASUU National President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi who announced the suspension, however, said that the union had embarked on the strike to “stem the continued slide into rot and decay in public universities since the 1980s.” He however decried the unpatriotic attitudes of some university chancellors whom he said tried to undermine the union’s struggle towards ensuring that universities in the country are revitalised. The statement reads thus: “ACADEMIC STAFF UNION OF UNIVERSITIES (ASUU), NATIONAL SECRETARIAT. TEXT OF A PRESS CONFERENCE BY THE ACADEMIC STAFF UNION OF UNIVERSITIES (ASUU), THURSDAY, 7TH FEBRUARY, 2019, AT N...

65 New students admitted into the University

The Presidential Amnesty Programme has released it’s annual list of students to be posted to Ritman University. The students started resuming yesterday 7th of February 2019. The increase in the population of the school would have seemingly positive impact on the social, economic, political life of the institution. My main concern is the accommodation of the students as the hostels are already well populated, I employ the administration act on this as a case of congestion is likely to occur. To all new intake, I wish you an enjoyable stay at Ritman University!!

Kendrick Lamar's 'DAMN.' Begins At No. 1 With The Largest Opening Week Of 2017

Image
Rapper Kendrick Lamar performs at the [+] As was expected, Kendrick Lamar’s new album DAMN. has started at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with a large opening frame, easily beating out the competition. The record kicked off with an impressive 603,000 copies, of which 353,000 were sales. That gives Lamar the largest opening frame of 2017 thus far, ahead of even Drake’s More Life, which managed just over half a million units in its first seven days. DAMN. is Lamar’s third consecutive No. 1 album in as many years on the all-encompassing tally. He first made it to the top of the ranking in 2015 with his record To Pimp A Butterfly , which was immediately heralded as a triumph in the rap world. Just one year later, Lamar gifted his fans with the compilation untitled unmastered., which wasn’t so much a proper album as a collection of songs that he had never released that were all, as the title suggests, untitled and unmastered, but that didn't stop his massive fan base from buying the e...

Babachir Lawal: What Nigerians say

— 23rd April 2017 By Onyedika Agbedo As far as people like us are concerned, we don’t think this government has done anything much in this corruption war. That they suspended the SGF, who has been accused of corruption for so many months, is not something that the government should be praised for. Besides, who are members of the committee to investigate the allegations against the SGF? These are the same set of people in the government who cleared the man before. It’s like being a judge in your own case. So, it is still the same style of governance that we were running away from that we are still practicing in the APC government. There are so many things one can talk about. Look at the kind of money they discovered in an apartment in Osborne Towers, about N13 billion. They are now telling us it’s NIA that owns it. How can a government parastatal like the NIA, which is domiciled in the Presidency, keep that amount of money in a residential house? Nigerians are now moving about as if ...

UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov disclosed this in a report to the UN Security Council meeting.
