LAUTECH Medical, Dental Lecturers Suspend Four-Month Strike After Partial CONMESS Response The Nigerian Association of Medical and Dental Academics (NAMDA) at LAUTECH has suspended its four-month strike following an emergency congress held on Monday. The industrial action, which began on July 31, was triggered by the university’s delayed implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS). Although only the basic salary component has been paid, allowances and arrears dating back to January 2025 remain outstanding. NAMDA said the suspension was reached unanimously to allow further “good-faith engagement” with the university management. The lecturers rejected earlier proposals shifting full CONMESS implementation to July 2026 and warned that future actions hinge on the university’s commitment to fulfilling outstanding obligations. The association acknowledged interventions from the Governing Council and the Oyo State Commissioner for Education and urged swift action to prevent setbacks to medical training and accreditation. #LAUTECH #NAMDA #CONMESS #StrikeUpdate #MedicalLecturers #OyoState #EducationNews #IndustrialAction #NigeriaNews #UniversityUpdates

BREAKING: Edo State Bans Nursery & Primary School Graduation Parties The Edo State Government has officially banned graduation parties in nursery and primary schools across the state. The decision, according to the government, is aimed at curbing unnecessary spending, reducing the financial burden on parents, and redirecting focus towards academic excellence rather than social celebrations. Authorities emphasized that such events often place undue pressure on families, while children at that stage should be encouraged to concentrate on learning instead of extravagant ceremonies. The government further advised school administrators to comply strictly with the directive, stressing that monitoring teams would ensure enforcement. #EducationNews #GraduationBan #NigeriaEducation #Parents #Students
