The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has suspended its ongoing two-week warning strike, 10 days after it began.

ASUU President, Chris Piwuna, announced the decision on Wednesday at a press conference in Abuja, directing members to resume work starting Thursday.

According to Piwuna, the suspension followed “fruitful engagements” with government representatives during negotiations held last week. The decision was reached after an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union held in Abuja between October 21 and 22.

However, he warned that the union would resume the strike if the government failed to meet its commitments within a month.

“NEC resolved to grant the government a one-month window to conclude the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement and address all other outstanding issues,” Piwuna said.

He added that ASUU expects the government to use the opportunity to ensure lasting industrial harmony and stability in the university system.

Tinubu picks UK-based Doctor Bernard Doro as new Minister.

President Bola Tinubu has transmitted a letter to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Dr Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The nomination follows the elevation of Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, who previously served as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, to the position of National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July.

Dr Doro, born on January 23, 1969, in Kwall, Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State, brings more than two decades of diverse experience spanning clinical practice, pharmaceutical management, strategic leadership, and community engagement across the United Kingdom and Nigeria.

A highly qualified professional, he holds degrees in Pharmacy and Law, an MBA with a focus on IT-driven business strategy, and a Master’s in Advanced Clinical Practice.

He currently serves as an Independent Prescriber and Advanced Clinical Practitioner with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, with frontline experience in urgent care, walk-in centres, general practice, and hospital services.

Beyond his medical career, Dr Doro has championed youth mentorship and social impact initiatives both in the Nigerian diaspora and local communities.

Teenager Takes Over as ‘Vice President for a Day,’ Champions Girl-Child Education.

A Nigerian teenager, Joy Ogah, on Monday, symbolically took over the seat of Vice President Kashim Shettima, using the moment to advocate for girls’ education and empowerment across the country.

According to a statement from the Office of the Vice President, the handover occurred during a meeting with a delegation from PLAN International, led by Helen Mfonobong Idiong, the organisation’s Director of Programme, Quality and Innovation.

From the Vice President’s chair, Ogah highlighted the alarming number of out-of-school children in Nigeria — over 10.5 million, with girls accounting for more than 60 percent — urging government and stakeholders to invest in inclusive and safe learning environments.

“We must invest in education that is safe and inclusive for every child in Nigeria,” she said.
“Every girl deserves a classroom, a choice, dignity, and not silence. When girls are protected, peace becomes possible. I may be the Vice President for a day, but the struggles I represent cannot end in a day.”

Ogah further called on authorities to provide free sanitary products in schools, guarantee access to clean water, sanitation, and good nutrition, and implement policies that uphold the dignity of every girl.

Responding, Vice President Shettima reaffirmed the Tinubu administration’s commitment to advancing girl-child education nationwide, pledging continued collaboration with PLAN International.

“We will continue engagement with PLAN International and see where the force and strength of government can be brought to bear on your advice regarding girl-child education. In President Tinubu, you have an ally you can trust,” he stated.

Ogah’s “Vice President for a Day” experience, observers say, underscores the growing movement for inclusive education and equal opportunity, giving voice to the aspirations of millions of Nigerian girls still fighting for access to learning.

ASUU Meets Today to Review Ongoing University Strike.

The national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will convene today, Tuesday, to assess its stance on the ongoing strike by university lecturers across the country.

Sources within the union confirmed that the meeting, scheduled to hold in Abuja, will focus on reviewing developments from recent engagements with the Federal Government and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC). Discussions are expected to center on unresolved issues, including funding for public universities, lecturers’ welfare, and the implementation of past agreements.

The outcome of the meeting will determine whether the union extends or suspends the industrial action that has disrupted academic activities in federal and state universities nationwide.

ASUU had embarked on the strike several weeks ago over what it described as the government’s failure to honour previous commitments on university revitalisation, earned academic allowances, and the adoption of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) for salary payments.

Stakeholders have urged both parties to find a lasting resolution to prevent further damage to the already strained education sector. The union is expected to issue a formal statement after the meeting outlining its next steps.

Police, NBA to review Tinted permit policy.

The Nigerian Bar Association’s Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL) and the Nigeria Police Force have reached an agreement to review the policy on tinted permits.

Prof. Paul Ananaba, Chairman of the NBA-SPIDEL, made this known in Ikeja on Thursday during an interactive session organized as part of the build-up to the NBA-SPIDEL Annual Conference in Akwa Ibom.

Ananaba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, stated that the review aims to ensure the policy aligns with public interest and national security goals.

The senior lawyer explained that the decision came after several weeks of discussions between both parties, following public complaints about the harassment of motorists with partially tinted vehicle windows.

He noted that the association stepped in following numerous reports of arbitrary arrests and vehicle impoundments by police officers enforcing the tinted permit policy.

“Following our discussions with senior police officers, we agreed that enforcement of the tinted permit should be suspended, while a joint review committee is constituted.

“SPIDEL’s engagement with the police is not confrontational but aimed at promoting accountability and justice in public administration.

“The committee, comprising representatives of NBA-SPIDEL and the Nigeria Police, will examine the legal and security implications of the policy and recommend new modalities for its regulation,” Ananaba said.

“Nigeria Has Better Family Support System for Raising Kids” — MI Abaga Explains Why He Prefers Nigeria to the U.S.

Nigerian rapper Jude ‘MI’ Abaga has revealed why he would rather raise his future children in Nigeria than in the United States.

Speaking on the Japa Diaries podcast, the ‘One Naira’ crooner said Nigeria offers a stronger family support system, which makes parenting easier compared to the often demanding lifestyle in the U.S.

“There are a lot of things appealing about home, especially because we’re already ingrained in that system and because there’s a lot of support as well. I feel it’s very difficult for parents here,” MI said.

He added that while he and his wife, Eniola Mafe, have settled comfortably in the U.S., they still value the sense of community and family connection in Nigeria.

“Our family over here are all professionals. Sometimes you just find your nook in Nigeria. I think we’ve sort of found a space in Nigeria, but definitely, you want your kids to have a mixture of both,” he noted.

MI also hinted that he would like his children to spend their early years in Nigeria before possibly moving abroad later in life.

The rapper married Eniola Mafe in September 2022, a few months after their engagement. The couple is yet to have children.

Peter Obi Backs Sowore’s Peaceful March, Calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s Release Through Dialogue and Justice


Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed his support for activist Omoyele Sowore’s peaceful march demanding the release of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Speaking during a recent media chat, Obi emphasized that dialogue, justice, and respect for human rights remain the best tools for resolving Nigeria’s internal conflicts.

According to Punch Newspaper, Obi clarified that while he does not endorse violence or separatism, he believes Kanu’s prolonged detention raises serious questions about due process and the rule of law. He commended Sowore’s nonviolent approach, urging the federal government to seek political and reconciliatory solutions to the grievances in the South East.

“Our unity as a nation must rest on fairness, equity, and inclusion,” Obi stated. “Peaceful engagement, not repression, is the true path to progress.”


Obi further called on Nigerians to remain calm, law-abiding, and committed to justice, even as they advocate for human rights and national stability.

Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021, following his controversial extradition from Kenya. His continued incarceration has triggered widespread protests and legal challenges, with his supporters insisting that his fundamental rights have been violated.

Sowore — publisher of Sahara Reporters and former presidential candidate — recently led a symbolic march in Abuja, drawing attention from civil society groups and human rights advocates calling for Kanu’s release.

With Obi’s endorsement, the call for a political and humane resolution to the IPOB leader’s case gains renewed momentum, as Nigerians continue to demand justice, peace, and inclusivity.

Delta Gov, Sheriff Oborevwori, Cautions Corps Members Against Unnecessary Travels.

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has warned National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members deployed to the state to avoid unnecessary travels that could lead to road acc+dents.

The governor gave the advice during the closing ceremony of the 2025 Batch B Stream II Orientation Course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Issele-Uku, Aniocha North Local Government Area.

Represented by the Commissioner for Youth Development, Trakiriowei Harry ThankGod, Oborevwori expressed concern over the growing number of corps members involved in fatal road accidents, describing such incidents as needless and preventable.

“I must sound a note of caution. Statistics show that road traffic accidents remain the leading cause of death among corps members, often due to needless travel. Please minimise your movements and only embark on journeys when necessary and properly approved.

Your families and the nation have high hopes for you ,we want you to complete your service safely,” the governor said.

He also called on employers of corps members across the state to support and integrate them fully into their workplaces and communities, stressing that their energy and creativity are crucial to the state’s development.

Earlier, the State Coordinator of NYSC, Mr. John Kwaghe, urged the corps members to view their service year as a unique opportunity to contribute to national development. He encouraged them to remain disciplined, innovative, and open-minded in their engagements with host communities, embodying the values of unity, peace, and progress.

Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has renewed his call for the Federal Government to initiate peace talks with bandits, insisting that dialogue remains the most effective route to achieving lasting security in Nigeria.

In a Facebook post on Monday, Gumi referenced the recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas as proof that even long-standing conflicts can be resolved through negotiation.

According to him, if the United States could broker peace between Israel and Hamas—two groups once at bitter odds, then Nigeria should also be able to engage its own armed groups in dialogue.

“Peace between Israel and Hamas, whom they call terrorists, was brokered by the USA. Who says peace can’t be made with terrorists? Make peace with bandits and let us have peace,” Gumi wrote.

The Kaduna-based cleric, who has long advocated for engagement with non-state armed groups, reiterated that meaningful dialogue is key to ending the violence that has plagued many parts of northern Nigeria.

Tinubu Government Orders Physical Headcount Of Lecturers In Striking Nigerian Universities.

In a circular dated October 13, 2025, signed by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, and addressed to vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors, and other key education stakeholders, the government reaffirmed its position on the “no work, no pay” policy.

As the nationwide strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) commenced yesterday, the President Bola Tinubu-led government has moved to enforce compliance with its directive by mandating an immediate roll call and physical headcount of all academic staff across federal universities.

In a circular dated October 13, 2025, signed by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, and addressed to vice-chancellors, pro-chancellors, and other key education stakeholders, the government reaffirmed its position on the “no work, no pay” policy.

The circular was also distributed to the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, the Accountant-General of the Federation, and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC).

According to the circular, vice-chancellors have been directed to conduct physical verification by taking roll call and head count of lecturers on campus to determine who is actively performing their duties and who is absent due to the industrial action.

“In line with existing labour regulations, any employee who fails to discharge official duties during a strike period will not be entitled to remuneration for that period,” the circular stated.

Dr. Alausa expressed the government’s disappointment over ASUU’s decision to proceed with the strike “despite ongoing engagement efforts,” adding that the administration “would no longer condone disruptions to the academic calendar.”

University administrators are now expected to compile detailed reports distinguishing between staff who are present and working, and those who have joined the strike. These records will be used to determine salary entitlements in line with the “no work, no pay” enforcement.

FG Warns ASUU Over Planned Strike, Threatens to Enforce ‘No Work, No Pay’ Policy.

The Federal Government has cautioned the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) that it will enforce the “no work, no pay” policy if the union proceeds with its planned nationwide strike.

ASUU had earlier announced a two-week warning strike beginning October 13, citing the government’s failure to address long-standing demands, including the renegotiation of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement, release of withheld salaries, and improved funding for public universities.

In a statement on Sunday, the Ministry of Education expressed disappointment over ASUU’s decision, describing it as uncooperative despite ongoing efforts to avert industrial action. The ministry emphasized that the “no work, no pay” rule is a valid labour law and would be applied if academic activities are disrupted.

“While the government continues to demonstrate goodwill and flexibility, it will not neglect its duty to ensure fairness and accountability in the use of public resources,” the statement read.

The ministry reaffirmed its readiness for dialogue, stressing that engagement not confrontation remains the best approach to resolving disputes. It also assured students, parents, and the public of its commitment to maintaining peace and stability within the tertiary education system.

ASUU President, Chris Piwuna, however, maintained that only concrete government action not promises would prevent the strike, despite previous appeals from the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, for the union to reconsider its stance.

FG Threatens ASUU With ‘No Work, No Pay’ Rule

The Federal Government of Nigeria has called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to reconsider its decision to embark on an industrial strike, emphasising that constructive dialogue remains the most effective and sustainable path toward resolving all outstanding issues in the tertiary education sector.

In a joint statement, the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, and the Honourable Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Sai’d Ahmad, disclosed that the Federal Government has made a comprehensive offer to the union and is still awaiting ASUU’s official response.

They emphasised that the offer addresses the union’s primary concerns, including working conditions, institutional governance, and staff welfare.

The Ministers noted that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has approved a robust Teaching Allowance designed to reflect the value of academic work and motivate lecturers across public universities.

They emphasised that the federal government has approached the matter with demonstrable commitment and sincerity, evident in its prompt policy responses and financial interventions in the education sector. However, ASUU has not reciprocated this gesture and appears determined to proceed with the planned strike despite the pending offer and ongoing engagement.

The Ministers reaffirmed that the administration of President Tinubu remains unwavering in its commitment to the welfare of Nigerian lecturers and the stability of the university system.

They noted that the ongoing reforms in the education sector are anchored on fairness, accountability, and institutional strengthening to ensure sustainable academic excellence.

While reaffirming the administration’s respect for university autonomy, the Ministers clarified that certain aspects of ASUU’s demands—particularly those relating to internal governance, appointments, and promotions—are statutory responsibilities of university governing councils.

Reps Reject U.S. Senate’s Genocide Claim Against Christians in Nigeria.

The House of Representatives has dismissed the U.S. Senate’s claim describing Nigeria’s insecurity as genocide against Christians or state-sponsored persecutiom, saying it misrepresents the country’s true situation.

The decision followed a motion by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, titled “Urgent Need for a Coordinated Diplomatic and Domestic Response to the Proposed Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025 (U.S. Senate Bill S.2747)”.

Kalu said the U.S. bill, introduced on September 9, 2025, which seeks to label Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act, is based on incomplete assessments. 

He stressed that Nigeria’s Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and that insecurity is multi-causal, driven by insurgency, banditry, separatism, and communal clashes—not religion.

Lawmakers warned that the U.S. claim could undermine Nigeria’s sovereignty and strain diplomatic ties. Julius Ihonvbere called for swift diplomatic engagement, while Oluwole Oke described the claim as a “deliberate attempt to damage Nigeria’s image.”

The House reaffirmed constitutional religious freedom, condemned all forms of violence, and rejected the U.S. Senate’s portrayal of Nigeria’s crisis. 

It also directed the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Nigerian Embassy in Washington to lodge a diplomatic protest and present factual data to U.S. and international bodies.

Echoing this sentiment, Adamawa APC Chairman Idris Shuaibu praised Tinubu’s leadership, emphasizing the president’s pragmatic approach to rebuilding the economy and strengthening governance structures.

Stakeholders further pledged to intensify grassroots mobilization in support of the president, urging Nigerians to remain patient and hopeful as the reforms continue to yield tangible benefits across sectors.

“Our focus remains steadfast — delivering impactful representation for my constituents, advancing the interests of the South-East, and contributing meaningfully to the progress of our great nation, Nigeria,” Kalu stated.

President Tinubu Returns to Abuja After 10-Day Strategic Working Visit to Lagos

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Abuja after a productive 10-day working visit to Lagos, filled with high-level meetings, project inaugurations, and national engagements aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s economy and infrastructure.


A Packed Schedule in Lagos and Beyond

According to a statement by Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the President’s trip began on September 26, shortly after attending the coronation ceremony of the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, in Ibadan.

While in Lagos, Tinubu met with leading investors, including Global Infrastructure Partners CEO Bayo Ogunlesi and Metis Capital Partners Chairman HaKeem Belo-Osagie, discussing major investment opportunities in Nigeria.

He also hosted International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, reaffirming his administration’s determination to transform Nigeria’s maritime sector into a key economic driver beyond oil.


Commissioning and Celebration Across States

Ahead of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, Tinubu visited Imo State, where he commissioned major infrastructure projects executed by Governor Hope Uzodimma and unveiled a book documenting a decade of APC-led governance.

On Independence Day, the President delivered his national broadcast from the historic Dodan Barracks in Lagos before inaugurating the newly renovated National Theatre, now officially named the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts — a tribute to Nigeria’s creative excellence.

Before his return to Abuja, Tinubu made a stop in Jos, Plateau State, to attend the funeral of Mama Lydia Yilwatda, mother of APC chieftain Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, where he emphasized his administration’s dedication to religious harmony and national unity.

ADC’s Deputy Publicity Secretary, Ugochimereze Asuzu, Passes on After Slumping.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been thrown into mourning following the sudden death of its Deputy Publicity Secretary in Imo State, Hon. Ugochimereze Chinedu Asuzu.

Asuzu, who also convened Ikoro Ndigbo and was regarded as a strong voice in Igbo sociocultural discourse, reportedly slumped and died in the early hours of Wednesday.

In a statement signed by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Chief MacDonald Amadi, the ADC described his passing as a devastating loss, extolling him as a “man of uncommon intellect, conviction, and service.”

A native of Umuma Isiaku in Ideato South Local Government Area, Asuzu combined academic brilliance with grassroots activism. He earned degrees in Theology and Political Science and was pursuing a doctorate at the time of his death.

Beyond partisan politics, he was a theologian, entrepreneur, cultural advocate, and founder of the Igbo Intelligentsia Renaissance, a platform dedicated to cultural renewal and intellectual engagement. 

He also established and led I Stand With ADC, a coalition support group that mobilised citizens for democratic participation.

Before joining the ADC, Asuzu was a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He was widely respected as a prolific writer, public affairs analyst, and visiting lecturer.

The party’s statement further described him as a loving husband, devoted father, and mentor who inspired many in both religious and secular spheres.

“The passing of Chief Asuzu is an irreplaceable loss to his family, the ADC family, and the larger Nigerian society,” the statement read.

Details of his burial arrangements will be announced later.

Nigerian Govt, PENGASSAN, Dangote Refinery reach truce.

The Federal Government, on Tuesday, brokered a truce between the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, and the management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Muhammad Maigari-Dingyadi, made this known in a statement on Wednesday at the end of a two-day conciliation meeting in Abuja.

The meeting, which held on Monday and Tuesday, brought together the National Security Adviser, Ministers of Finance, Budget and Economic Planning, and State for Petroleum (Gas), alongside the DSS, NIA, NNPCL, NMDPRA, NUPRC and labour leaders.

Recall that the conciliation was convened after PENGASSAN directed its members to stop gas supply and withdraw services from the refinery.

PENGASSAN had alleged that the company terminated the employment of more than 800 of its members, which triggered the industrial action.

Meanwhile, Dangote Refinery explained that the disengagement of workers was due to an ongoing restructuring exercise in the company.

According to the communiqué, the meeting resolved that unionisation is a fundamental right of workers under Nigerian law and must be respected by the company.
