Others include the confiscation of University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) land, and the victimisation of members at Prince Abubakar Audu University, Lagos State University (LASU), and Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO).
Titled Strike Bulletin No. 2, the correspondence noted that some prominent Nigerians have also intervened in efforts to resolve the lingering impasse between the union and the government.
“Engagements are continuing on all elements of the draft renegotiated 2009 FGN-ASUU Agreement guided by the principles of Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
“We commend the resilience and courage of our members in various branches, but we should remain united and steadfast in the few days ahead.
“The Branch Chairperson remains the only reliable source of information at all times; so attend your branch congress meetings promptly,” Piwuna said.
The ongoing warning strike, declared last week, is part of ASUU’s push to compel the government to implement pending agreements and address issues affecting university funding, staff welfare, and institutional autonomy.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
