  The Federal Government has instructed university vice chancellors to reopen their institutions and permit students to resume their classes. Since nearly seven months ago, the Academic Staff Union of Universities has been on strike. The association is requesting money from the FG for the University Transparency Accountability Solution (UTAS), Earned Academic Allowances, and Promotion Arrears. Others include the 2009 ASUU-FG Agreement's renegotiation and the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System's discrepancy. Remember how the federal government challenged the association's action in court?

Femi Falana, a human rights attorney and senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), questioned the decision, claiming that the national industrial court lacked jurisdiction to decide the dispute b...

The Osun state chapter of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) raised concern over the recent wave of pharmacists leaving the nation as they celebrated World Pharmacists Day with their counterparts around the world. Responding to inquiries from journalists in Osogbo, the capital of Osun state, on Sunday, Professor Moses Akanmu, the state's PSN chairman, said that pharmacists from various professions today prefer to look for greener pastures abroad rather than practice in Nigeria. While bemoaning the recent surge in the production of phony pharmaceuticals, he revealed that the association would deworm 2,000 youngsters throughout the state's municipalities in honor of its 30th anniversary, which coincidentally happened to fall on the same day as Pharmacist Day internationally.

As negotiations between the two competing promoters continue, a contract has supposedly been given to Joshua's team. Fury, though, believes that it is taking longer than anticipated to negotiate a deal and that everything should be resolved by Monday.

Justice Jauro ruled that the lawsuit was not justiciab...

  In several of the producing states, the rain-fed rice harvest often starts in September. The flooding that is presently causing havoc on rice farms in producing areas has raised concerns among stakeholders in the rice value chain that it will have an impact on this year's rain-fed harvest. Thousands of hectares of rice plantations in Taraba, Jigawa, Kano, Benue, Niger, Kogi, and other producing states up North, among others, are said to have been swept away, according to Daily Trust. Some of the farms in the afflicted states were either at or almost at the point of maturation when the waves carried them away. In several of the producing states, the rain-fed rice harvest often starts in September. The most widely consumed stable grain in the nation is rice, and since 2016, the current administration has paid close attention to its development.

When the gauge read 12 meters in 2012, the river overflew its banks, killing numerous locals. Due in part to the rising River Benue, residents in flooded districts in Benue State have evacuated their homes. Dr. Godwin Oyiwona, Commissioner of Water Resources and Environment, informed Daily Trust on Friday that the water has reached to a height of 11.1m on the River Benue's seasonal flood gauge. Oyiwona described how the river overflew its banks in 2012 when the gauge read 12 meters, displacing many people. However, the commissioner expressed concern that some locals were reluctant to leave their houses since they were fisherman and the flood gave them a greater opportunity to go fishing. "Water level is rising as a result of the dam in Cameroon raising water levels. People are being urged to relocate to safer regions away from the shore. "We are managing the region of rising water levels, which as of Thursday evening were 11.1 meters, and more water is on the way. It reac...

"For this reason, we opposed the privatization of the distribution sector since the investors lacked the capacity and knowledge to do so. We warned the administration against it as ardent Nigerians.

In order to have a chance of determining their fate in Group A3's decider against Germany on Monday, the Three Lions needed to at least win in Milan. Gianluca Scamacca headed Federico Dimarco's cross onto the bar in the eighth minute, and Nick Pope barely touched the ball to aid it hit the crossbar. The Italians nearly took the lead right away. Despite the stakes, the game lacked a spark after the early Italy chance as neither team was able to generate many more clear opportunities in the opening period.

With six minutes left, Italy nearly increased their advantage, but Dimarco's attempt at the far post deflected off the post. The team led by Roberto Mancini hung on to hand England ...

  According to the Kano State Government, the state will receive infrastructure projects and water. This information was provided in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday in Kano by Malam Garba Yusuf, the commissioner for water resources. He claimed that the quick infrastructural development throughout the state and the banditry in the neighboring states were to blame for the increase in water demand. He claims that while Kano's daily water demand was 4 million liters when the Challawa water treatment plant was built, it is now 200 million liters per day. As you well know, water is a necessary component of life, and since this ministry is also in charge of irrigation, it essentially helps to increase food production. People need to recognize that water is a necessary component of life and shouldn't be abused or overused, he said, adding that we should aim to make it a practice to fix damaged running taps. Yusuf went on to say that the ministry's department ...
