ASUU strike: FG pleads with lecturers, promises to pay new minimum wage

-
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige has pleaded with striking university teachers to show mercy on students by calling off their strike. The teachers, under the auspices of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), began a nationwide strike since November, last year, over some disagreement between the union and the Federal Government. Ngige, speaking with reporters in Awka, Anambra State on Sunday, also declared that Federal Government would pay a minimum wage, adding that things were being worked out by the Committee saddled with that responsibility. He said: “FG will comfortably pay minimum wage, we want to pay it, but there must be balancing because figures were bandied and we are asking Labour to exercise patience. “I appeal to ASUU and Labour to have mercy on students and be patient. As far as I’m concerned, we have treated Labour well. And they should also know I’m a comrade and that is why I always intervened on matters that concern them.” T...

Tinubu reacts to ill-health claim, APC govs’ absence at Buhari’s campaign council meeting

-

National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu on Friday reacted to a claim that he slumped and was rushed to the hospital.
Tinubu spoke in Abuja when he received the representatives of traditional rulers from South West States led by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
Fani-Kayode urged Nigerians, especially Yorubas to pray for the former Lagos governor.
He also noted that Tinubu always experiences terrible things each time he was given a major role in the APC government.
Reacting, Tinubu said the claim was “fake news”.
He added: “Whoever is manufacturing it, you better not believe them.”
On the absence of governors at the meeting of the presidential campaign council, Tinubu said: “That is negative and fake news too.”
“The point is, the governors had to stay back home because we all don’t have to converge in one place to decide certain modalities when we can easily go back to them on what was discussed and what we expect from your state.
“That is what we call structuring in an election. There are some jellyfish reporters around Nigeria these days,” he noted.

The Presidency has said there is no guarantee that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will eradicate Boko Haram insurgency. The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, explained that such promise can’t be made because Boko Haram has become a global challenge. He stated that the federal government was doing all it can to tackle banditry and kidnapping. According to Shehu who spoke on Channels TV Sunrise Daily: “I can’t promise you that Boko Haram will or will not be eradicated but it is an ongoing challenge globally even in the more advanced, more weaponised nations, it is still a challenge. “I am happy that there is a realisation that there is shifting ground. When the president came in in 2015, the big issue was Boko Haram. Boko Haram has faded away, it is on the way out but new challenges have arisen. You have mentioned banditry and kidnappings and these ones are being tackled. “Recent successes have been recorded, look at what fo...
