Members of the Nigerian Medical Association in the Federal Capital Territory have threatened to shut down all medical services and stage a protest if their colleague, Dr. Chinonye Nwachukwu, is not released from kidnappers’ custody.

NASU accuses govt of neglecting workers welfare

The Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) has accused the Federal Government of playing politics with the welfare of Nigerian workers. The union said officials often provoke strikes through neglect and insincerity, only to punish workers for exercising their rights. Speaking at the opening of NASU’s National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, the General Secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi, criticised the government’s frequent threats to apply the “No Work, No Pay” policy. He described the move as a deliberate attempt to intimidate workers and criminalise legitimate union activities. Adeyemi said such behaviour exposes the government’s double standards and undermines industrial peace and workers’ confidence. He explained that unions only embark on strikes after the government repeatedly fails to honour agreements and ignores collective bargaining processes. “Union leaders are not irrational individuals who declare strikes for fun. Strikes are […]

Heavy Security in Abuja as #FreeNnamdiKanu Protest Looms

A massive security lockdown was imposed in Abuja on Monday due to a planned protest demanding the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. Security forces, including soldiers, police, and DSS operatives, sealed off major routes leading to the Presidential Villa and the city center. This caused significant traffic disruptions for commuters entering the Federal Capital Territory. Key areas like the Three Arms Zone, Eagle Square, and the National Assembly were under heavy guard. The measures were so strict that even staff with official clearance to the Presidential Villa were denied entry and forced to use alternative routes. The protest was organized by activist Omoyele Sowore. Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021, despite court orders for his release, with his supporters citing concerns over his health.
