Kaduna declares KASU-ASUU strike unlawful


Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State on Friday declared as unlawful the strike embarked on by the Kaduna State University (KASU) branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
According to a statement by the Governor’s Spokesman, Mr Samuel Aruwan, the KASU branch of ASUU confirmed that the branch had joined the nation-wide strike as full members of the national union.
He said that there was no trade dispute between the state government and ASUU.
“This is unacceptable to the state government. It is an anomaly that employees can be on strike without declaring a dispute with their employer.
“It bears restating that Nigeria is a federation of states and no trade union can alter this federal reality by imposing on an employer – a state government – the terms that federal employees have agreed with the Federal Government.
“The Kaduna State Government is neither affected nor bound by any dispute, disagreement or agreement ASUU may have with the Federal Government.
“As a sub-national entity, the Kaduna State Government is separate from the Federal Government of Nigeria. The Constitution of Nigeria clearly attests to this.
“It is the considered view of the Kaduna State Government that the KASU branch of ASUU has embarked on an unlawful strike,’’ Aruwan said.
According to him, the Kaduna State Government is not liable for salaries and allowances for the period of the unlawful strike.
“The government shall proceed to initiate the necessary disciplinary steps in accordance with the Kaduna State Public Service Rules.

CHINESE TOP ENVOY, WANG YI IN RUSSIA FOR SECURITY TALKS

  CHINESE TOP ENVOY, WANG YI IN RUSSIA FOR SECURITY TALKS, AS MOSCOW SEEKS CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR ITS WAR AGAINST UKRAINE. A close ally of Moscow, Beijing is accused of supporting Russia indirectly during the war, which it denies. His visit comes after Vladimir Putin met North Korea's Kim Jong Un amid US fears they could strike an arms deal. Russian media said Mr Wang's trip would also lay the ground for Mr Putin to make a landmark visit to Beijing soon. Earlier this month Mr Putin said he expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, but did not say when. Some observers believe he is likely to attend the Belt and Road Forum next month. He has not travelled abroad since the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him in March over war crimes in Ukraine. Mr Putin last ventured onto foreign soil in December 2022 when he visited Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. China's foreign ministry said Mr Wang is in Russia for four days for "strategic security consultations...

Alleged $1m fraud: Businessman petitions Buhari over police handling of case

• ‘Officer handling case transferred for rejecting bribe from suspects’ Businessman, Austin Ugochukwu Albert, has petitioned President Muhammadu Buhari over alleged poor handling of a $1million ( N360 million) fraud case he lodged with the Police. He said he paid N360 million in exchange for $1million, which he never got. He said he was suspecting compromise, abuse of office and corrupt activities by some officers assigned to investigate how he was swindled of the $1million. He blamed some officers in the Inspector-General of Police monitoring unit of compromise. He alleged that he suspected a corrupt deal of about $200,000 to frustrate his complaint to the police. He said the officer handling his case was transferred in a suspicious manner at the prompting of one of the influential suspects, who defrauded him. He said he could not understand why the officer was redeployed midway into a crucial investigation in which he had recovered $205,000. In a petition through h...

RICK ROSS BURNS LIL WAYNE’S CONTRACT IN “IDOLS BECOME RIVALS” VIDEO

Several weeks ago, Birdman and Sy Ari Da Kid released a music visual at the expense of Rick Ross’ likeness. After commanding attention with the audio for his anti-Cash Money record, “Idols Become Rivals,” Rozay has gone in for the kill with a visual of his own. “I used to see you niggas on my TV screen/And wondered what was life like, was it all a dream?/And then I met you out on LiveNation dates/Came to the realization that your watch was fake” The most surprising chapter of the “Idols Become Rivals” video comes not from the hostile gospel opener but courtesy of the cameo from former Cash Money hitmaker Shondrae “Bangladesh” Crawford (“A Milli,” “6 Foot, 7 Foot,” “Did It On’em”), who infamously sued the house Baby built, went on to sign a production deal — and still walked away unhappy. For his bridge-burning effort, Ross saw the accompanying album,  Rather You Than Me  debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with more than 105,000 units sold its first week out. Follow...
