Governor Mohammed has set an 8-week deadline to resolve the crisis at Bauchi University.

In a decisive move aimed at resolving ongoing disruptions at Sa’adu Zungur University (SAZU), Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has directed the recently inaugurated Visitation Panel to propose solutions within an eight-week timeframe. This action comes in response to the enduring unrest involving the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), triggered by several unresolved issues.
The panel is tasked with a comprehensive mandate: addressing the root causes of the ongoing strike, conducting a review of the university’s financial operations, and formulating strategies for effective management that promotes harmony within the institution. During the inauguration, Governor Mohammed emphasized the pivotal role of education in fostering meaningful development and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to enhancing the educational sector.
Despite previous interventions, the governor urged the committee to devise lasting solutions to the disputes between ASUU, the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), and university management. The chairperson of the panel, Prof. Gambo Laraba, expressed gratitude to the governor for the opportunity and pledged to deliver a thorough report that would guide necessary reforms.
It is noteworthy that ASUU at SAZU had suspended an indefinite strike, which primarily stemmed from grievances over the non-implementation of pension schemes, unpaid allowances, and concerns regarding the appointment of a polytechnic graduate as bursar, contrary to the university’s founding statutes. This suspension followed the governor’s personal engagement with the union in December 2024, underscoring his active role in mediating the ongoing crisis.
As the panel embarks on its important work, the hope is that its findings will pave the way for a more stable and productive academic environment at Sa’adu Zungur University.

Recent Allegations Surface Regarding Actress Angela Okorie’s Relationship.

Recent social media posts originating from Nollywood actress Angela Okorie have brought to light allegations of infidelity and exploitation within her now-terminated relationship with her partner, known as “Oil Money.”
Ms. Okorie has publicly accused Oil Money of engaging in affairs with fellow actresses within the industry. In a series of posts on her Instagram story, she characterized him as “efulefu,” implying a lack of substance and susceptibility to manipulation. She further alleges that he leveraged their relationship for personal gain, specifically to gain access to other prominent women in both Lagos and Nollywood.
These accusations, posted alongside an announcement of their separation, mark a stark turn in the actress’s public persona. Ms. Okorie has vowed to refrain from future public displays of affection, indicating a desire to protect herself from similar situations moving forward. The claims remain unverified and have not yet been addressed by Oil Money directly. The situation is developing and further details may emerge.

Russia Responds to Potential Western Troop Deployment in Ukraine.

Moscow has reacted strongly to reports of potential troop deployments by France and the United Kingdom aimed at bolstering security in Ukraine. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in a briefing on Thursday, labeled the proposition of a multinational peacekeeping contingent as “insane.”
Ms. Zakharova further highlighted the apparent lack of widespread support within the European Union for the proposed intervention, suggesting the initiative lacks the necessary consensus for successful implementation. She also alluded to the necessity of U.S. involvement, stating that the coalition is unlikely to achieve its objectives without Washington’s backing. “Judging by the current discussions, Washington still has no intention of becoming involved in such an adventure,” she remarked, implying a pragmatic assessment of the potential ramifications by the United States.
Turning to the recent missile strike on Palm Sunday, Ms. Zakharova asserted President Zelenskyy’s “certain” responsibility for the ensuing consequences. She explained that the Russian Armed Forces had targeted a location in Sumy identified as hosting a Ukrainian command staff meeting. Ms. Zakharova further noted that President Zelenskyy subsequently dismissed the head of the Sumy military administration, Volodymyr Artyukh, seemingly “confirming the charges against him” in the aftermath of the incident.

US Accuses Chinese Firm of Aiding Houthi Attacks.

The United States State Department has leveled serious accusations against Chang Guang Satellite Technology, a Chinese firm, alleging its direct support for Houthi rebel attacks targeting US interests. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce confirmed reports that the company is providing critical support to the Iran-backed group.
According to US officials cited by the Financial Times, Chang Guang Satellite Technology, which has ties to the Chinese military, is supplying the Houthis with satellite imagery used to target US warships and international vessels operating in the Red Sea.
The State Department condemned this action as “unacceptable,” further stating that it contradicts China’s self-proclaimed role as a global peacemaker. The department argues that Beijing, through companies like Chang Guang Satellite Technology, provides vital economic and technical assistance to regimes such as Russia, North Korea, and Iran, including its proxy groups. This accusation marks a significant escalation in tensions between the US and China, highlighting concerns over China’s role in destabilizing international security.
