Saraki: Senate President reportedly seek Buhari, Tinubus favour
According to a report by Punch Newspaper,
following the Supreme Court judgment on his trial at the CCT, the Senate
President had began moves to seek favours from the President and
Tinubu.
Though
the moves by Saraki are said to have been indirect, he is rumoured to
be desperate to reach a favourable agreement with the top political
figures before the hearing of his 13 counts charge of false asset
declaration resume on March 10, 2016.
To reach the
President, Saraki had allegedly sent a delegation led by Senate leader,
Ali Ndume and Dino Melaye to meet with the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo while the President was on a six days vacation.
Though
Ndume denied discussing Saraki's trial with the Vice President when he
met with him, it is believed that the Vice President had clearly stated
that the president would not mix personal tribulations with the national
issues.
While the Senate President keeps seeking
other means to reach out to the President for favours, he's reported to
have sent out emissaries to Tinubu, who sources say have cut all ties
with the Kwara State ex-Governor.
Tinubu, sources
disclosed, has decided to wash his hands and will not say a word again
regarding Saraki, thus, all efforts to reach him has been blocked.
He
has been visiting other African countries preaching the gospel of
Democracy and become unavailable for the delegates led by opinion
leaders and clerics that Saraki had sent to his Bourdillon home in
Ikoyi, Lagos.
The Supreme Court had on February 5,
2016 ruled that Saraki’s trial should continue at the CCT. The apex
court had affirmed the propriety of Saraki’s trial at the CCT on 13
counts of false asset declaration.
Saraki and
Tinubu fell out in June 2016 when he defied the directive of the APC and
became the Senate President under controversial circumstances.
Meanwhile,
the Senate President's media aide had reiterated that Saraki meets with
the President when national issues arise, thus, it would be wrong to
say he's seeking favours or contact with him.
Reports
further pointed to the fact that what might have necessitated Saraki's
moves to seek favours from Tinubu and Buhari might not be unconnected to
the renewed energy by the Ahmed Lawan faction to force Saraki to resign.

Sacked VCs of federal varsities were due to leave office – CVC
The Secretary-General of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors (CVC), Prof. Michael Faborode, has stated that the tenure of vice-chancellors of nine Federal Universities will expire on February 15.
It will be recalled that it was reported on Saturday that the Federal Government has sacked the Vice Chancellors of 12 Federal Universities that were established by the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, including the Vice-Chancellor of National Open University of Nigeria.
Faborode, who spoke with reporters on Saturday in Abuja, said that it would not be fair to say that the vice-chancellors were sacked.
The affected universities are: Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State, Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State, Federal University, Kashere, Gombe State and Federal University, Wakari, Taraba State.
Others are Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Federal University, Ndufe-Alike, Ebonyi State and Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
Also affected are Federal University Gashua, Yobe State, Federal University, Gasau, Zamfara State and Federal University, Kebbi. (NAN)

BREAKING: Nigerian govt. sacks 13 University Vice Chancellors
The Federal Government has sacked the Vice Chancellors of 12 federal
universities established by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
Also affected by the sack is the Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria, Prof. Vincent Tenebe.
In the statement announcing the sack, the government gave no reason for the action.
A short statement by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu in Abuja,
on Saturday, simply said President Muhammadu Buhari, had approved the
appointment of new Vice Chancellors for the Universities.
But the decision is already generating ripples, with some members of
the intelligentsia claiming that it is only the Governing Council of
NOUN of which Mr Tenebe is a member, that could only remove him.
A human rights organisation, Coalition of Civil Society Groups has
protested against the sack in a letter to Buhari, demanding the reversal
of the decision in which the NOUN VC was replaced with Prof. Abdalla
Uba Adamu of the Department of Mass Communication, Bayero University,
Kano.
The substantive Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Dutse,
Jigawa State, Prof. Mohammed Kundiri, was transferred to the Federal
University, Wukari, Taraba State.
The CCSG in its protest letter to Buhari signed by its President,
Etuk Bassey Williams and Secretary-General, Ibrahim Abubakar, said the
action contravenes the provisions of the Universities (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Act No.11 of 1993 (as amended) by decree No.25, 1996 and
further amended in 2003 and 2012 respectively and other agreements as
contained in the 2009 FGN staff union agreement.
The petitioners said that four out of the twelve appointed VCs are
from Kano University, an action they said, was a clear violation of the
federal character principle.
“While this does not come as a surprise owing to the influence of one
of the Special Advisers to the Minister of Education in orchestrating
the appointments of his friends and cronies without following due
process, we are however concerned about the constitutional breach and
the resultant litigation battle this action may cause, which in turn may
generate unnecessary distractions to your focused administration”,
tcoalition said.
The petition reads, “We are compelled to call your attention owing to
the illegality in the removal of Vice Chancellors of 13 Federal
Universities including the National Open University of Nigeria and the
hasty appointment of friends and cronies in place of those illegally
removed from office.
“While we are not unmindful of the fact that you would have acted on
the recommendation of the Minister of Education in approving their
removal, it is pertinent to know that in the pursuit of ambition driven
by unguided passion and greed, impunity becomes inevitable as the end
irrespective of the means is all that matters and in this case, the
removal of these Vice Chancellors is the outcome of an unguided passion
and greed by the Minister of Education and his Special Adviser.
“The constitution is quite clear on the procedures to be followed in
the appointment and disengagement of Vice Chancellors and none of these
procedures were followed in the above case.
“The appointment of Vice Chancellors is a tenured appointment, which
presupposes that every appointee is expected to serve the prescribed
number of years as stipulated by the Acts governing the institutions.
The organisation regretted that none of the Vice Chancellors were
allowed to complete their tenures and were all removed without following
due process of the law.
The CCSG said that in the event that a Vice Chancellor was to be
removed from office before the expiration of his tenure, it is the Board
of the Governing Council that is empowered to recommend or effect that
removal of an erring Vice Chancellor before the completion of his term
in office.
The group said, “In the above case, the Minister already dissolved
the Board of the Governing Council with the statutory powers to
recommend or effect the removal of a Vice Chancellor from office thereby
making the removal of these Vice Chancellors illegal, null and void.
“In appointing new Vice Chancellors or any public officer for that
matter, it is an offence and a breach of the Federal Character principle
for one third of the total appointees to come from a particular State.
“The action of the Minister is greeted with sadness as it is
considered a breach of the provisions of the University Amendment Act or
legislation and to a large extent a gross violation of the laws of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria which guarantees universities autonomy in
Nigeria.”
According to the public statement conveying the sack of the VCs, a
former Head, Department of International Relations at the Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Prof. Kayode Soremekun, who was said to be
on Sabbatical in NOUN is the new Vice Chancellor of the Federal
University, Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
While the Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State has Prof.
Auwal Yadudu of the Faculty of Law, Bayero University, Kano as its new
VC; Prof. Fatima Batoul Muktar of the Department of Biology, North West
University, Kano, is the VC of Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State.
A lecturer in the Department of Pharmacy, Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria, Prof. Haruna Abdu Kaita is the new VC of Federal University,
Dutsin Ma, Katsina State, while Prof. Andrew Haruna of the Department of
Linguistics, University of Jos will now function as VC, Federal
University, Gashua, Yobe State.
While another lecturer in the Department of Pharmacy, ABU, Zaria,
Prof. Magaji Garba, will now be VC in Federal University, Gusau, Zamfara
State, Prof. Alhassan Mohammed Gani of the Institute of Maritime
Studies, Federal University, Kashere in Gombe State has been elevated to
the position of VC in same University.
A lecturer in the Department of Physics, Federal University, Lafia,
Prof. Muhammad Sanusi Liman will henceforth be VC of same institution.
For Prof. Angela Freeman Miri of the Linguistics Department, UNIJOS,
her new portfolio is the Federal University, Lokoja where she will now
be VC.
The Federal University, Ndifu-Alike, Ebonyi State, now has Prof.
Chinedum Nwajiuba of the Post-Graduate School, Imo State University,
Owerri, as its VC, while Prof. Seth Accra Jaja of the Department of
Management, University of Port Harcourt is now the VC of Federal
University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State.
Afe Babalola University University alumni condemns students protest
The Alumni Association of Afe Babalola University has spoken against the actions of the students following the crisis that rocked the school, causing the destruction of properties worth millions of naira.
The
alumni denied allegation that the students were being treated like
'kindergarteners'. They applauded the school management for not shutting
the institution, despite the destructive actions of the student.
17
students have been remanded in prison in connection to the violent
protest and are being tried at the Chief Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti.
Addressing newsmen in the university on Thursday, February 11, the National President of the Alumni Association, Miss Tope Sobajo,
said such violent attack was not in the culture of the university,
advising the students not to destroy the citadel of learning known for
academic excellence and moral uprightness.
Sobajo
added that the University was only trying to maintain discipline among
students when they made rules such as disallowing aimless wanderings and
leaving campus without reasons. The students were urged not to see it
as being treated like kids.
The
President, a masters’ degree student of the university, said she
neither witnessed nor noticed any case of rape or drug peddling during
her four years in the university, describing the allegations on social
media as unsubstantiated and targeted at reducing the respect the
university commands.
"The malicious damage of
27 cars , offices and FESTO Mechatronics laboratory worth N350m, is
certainly uncalled for. If students have issues, they ought to pass
through the proper channels.
“We, the
Alumni Association, condemns in very strong terms the act of burglary,
stealing and deliberate and willful damage of property as well as
attempts to kill with a knife and inflicting bodily injuries on
policemen and other security agents by protesters.
“We
also condemn in strong terms the breaking into the VC’s office ,
cafeteria and may other offices as well as the boutique where the
rampaging students away valuables worth millions of which were later
found in their possession,” the statement said.

offences were committed on Jan. 25 at about 8:40 p.m. at the Sport
Centre Pavilion, University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos.

“They forcefully collected N10, 500 cash and cell phones valued at N506, 000.
"The accused were apprehended at the second gate of the campus and the items and cash were recovered from them,’’ Unuigbe said.
The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 285, 295 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the two-charge preferred against them.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Section 285 provides for a term of three -year imprisonment for convicted offenders.
