ASUU at long last suspends strike after long distance race NEC meeting

The Scholastic Staff Association of College (ASUU) has suspended its 8-month-old modern activity restrictively.

The choice to cancel the strike has all the earmarks of being an aftermath of the long-distance race Public Leader Council (NEC) meeting of ASUU which was held at the association’s secretariat in Abuja from Thursday, October 13, to the early long periods of Friday, October 14.

As indicated by a checked Stations TV report, this was affirmed by an individual from ASUU’s NEC, albeit an authority declaration with the impact is as yet being anticipated.

The gathering was called by the administration of the association to decide its following line of activity after its different branches met and pondered on the Court of Allure management a week ago.

The Court of Allure had requested the striking speakers to suspend the strike before its allure of the decision ordering instructors to continue work could be heard.

Individuals from the association’s Public Chief Board of trustees, which contains the administrators of the state sections and individuals from the public leader, went to the gathering at the ASUU Public Secretariat in Abuja.

There had been before reports that the different parts of ASUU had been isolated on the association’s next line of activity with some of them casting a ballot to suspend the strike, while some likewise were supportive of expanding the 8-month-old modern activity.

ASUU had been protesting since February 14, 2022, to squeeze home their unsettled requests on the national government.

    1. The National Emergency Management Agency on Thursday in
      Lagos received 126 Nigerians who had been stranded in Libya
      as they returned home.
      The agency’s acting Coordinator of the Lagos Territorial
      Office, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed the development to
      the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.
      Farinloye, who represented the Director General, Alhaji
      Mustapha Ahmed, said the Nigerians were received at the
      Cargo Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at
      about 4.22pm.
      He said the returnees, who arrived aboard a Boeing 700-787
      Al Buraq Air with registration number 5A-DMG, were brought
      back to the country by the International Organisation for
      Migration through a voluntary repatriation programme.
      Farinloye said the programme was meant for the distressed
      Nigerians who had left the country to seek greener pastures in
      various European countries but could not afford to return when
      their journey became frustrating.
      He said the returnees brought back comprise 46 male adults,
      62 female adults, two male and six female children, as well as
      four female and six male infants.
      The acting coordinator urged Nigerians to be wary of close
      associates, family friends or neighbourhood elders who
      deceive with sweet talks of a better life in foreign countries.

    1. • Court says IPOB leader’s abduction unlawful, slams executive
      for recklessness
      There was wild jubilation in the South-East on Thursday
      following the Court of Appeal judgment which quashed the
      terrorism charges preferred against the leader of the outlawed
      Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
      Across parts of the South-East states, people celebrated
      openly on hearing the reports that the court had discharged
      Kanu who has been in custody since June 2021 when he was
      arrested in Kenya and brought to Nigeria to face prosecution
      for leading an outlawed organisation and clamouring for the
      Republic of Biafra.
      However, there are strong indications that the Federal
      Government may appeal the judgment of the Court of Appeal.
      A senior official in the Ministry of Justice confided in our
      correspondent that the government would study the ruling and
      take a decision on it.
      “All options are on the table; we will study the order but we
      will likely appeal it. The court only discharged him, it did not
      acquit him,’’ the director stated.
      Reacting, the Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations,
      Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister
      of Justice, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, in a statement said, “The
      Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister
      of Justice has received the news of the decision of the Court
      of Appeal concerning the trial of Nnamdi Kanu. For the
      avoidance of doubt and by the verdict of the Court, Kanu was
      only discharged and not acquitted.

    1. A total of 2,187 confirmed cases of cholera, including 233
      deaths have been recorded in 31 states from January to
      September 25, 2022, in the country.
      This is according to the public health advisory published by the
      Nigeria Centre for Disease Control on its website on Thursday.
      The advisory titled, ‘Stop Cholera: Strengthening Water,
      Sanitation and Hygiene in Nigeria,’ noted that the outbreak of
      cholera had been exacerbated by limited access to clean
      water and sanitation facilities, open defecation, and poor
      hygiene practices.
      Cholera is a water-borne disease characterised by the sudden
      onset of profuse watery diarrhoea, which can lead to sudden
      death because of the rapid rate of dehydration if not managed
      on time.
      The advisory read in part, “The Nigeria Centre for Disease
      Control is leading the national response to an ongoing
      outbreak of cholera in affected states in Nigeria. A total of
      2,187 confirmed cases of cholera have been reported from 31
      states and 233 deaths were recorded from January 1 to
      September 25, 2022.
      “Following a recent increase in the number of cholera cases,
      the multi-sectoral National Cholera Technical Working Group
      in collaboration with partners has been supporting affected
      states in risk communication, active case search, case
      management, water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions. The
      NCDC-led multi-sectoral TWG includes representation from the
      Federal Ministries of Environment and Water Resources, the
      National Primary Health Care Development Agency, the World
      Health Organisation, the United Nations Children’s Fund and
      other partners.
