NSMQ Quarter-Final Postponed After Crowd Surge at Cape Coast Venue

Organisers of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), Primetime Limited, have postponed the third quarter-final contest in Cape Coast after a massive crowd surge disrupted proceedings and created serious safety risks.

Kaduna Tertiary Institution Workers Suspend Month-Long Strike

Striking workers at Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions have suspended their month-long industrial action after Governor Uba Sani approved a new salary structure. The agreement was reached during a meeting between the governor and the Joint Union of Tertiary Institutions (JUTIKS), facilitated by the state's chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The key outcome is the approval and immediate implementation of 70% of the 2024 CONPCASS/CONTEDISS salary structure for both academic and non-academic staff. The government also approved a 65-year retirement age for staff. The unions, which began the strike on September 30th, have expressed appreciation for the governor's "listening leadership" and commitment to workers' welfare. With this development, academic activities are expected to resume in the affected institutions.
