The Abia State Government has
denied being behind the alleged cancellation of the birthday reception in
honour of Governor of Rocha Okorocha of Imo State at the Abia State
Polytechnic, earlier on Saturday saying “it will not be drawn into
unnecessary matters with Imo state government over mundane issue.”
The clarification
comes on the
heels of a report by a national daily that Abia State Governor, Theodore
Orji purportedly ordered that the birthday reception should not hold in the
state because it was a ploy by Mr. Okorocha to launch the recently
registered All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Abia.
The report was however, debunked by the Chief Press Secretary to the Abia
Governor, Ugochukwu Emezue, who said Mr. Okorocha planned to launch
a pet-project called ‘Imo Rescue Mission’ at the Abia State Polytechnic
without the consent of the institution’s authorities.
He also said that the police in the state were not duly informed of the
planned programme.
The Abia governor’s spokesman said contrary to speculation, his principal
and Mr. Okorocha enjoy a cordial relationship but advised that rather
than launch his pet project in Abia State, he should have done same in Imo
State, where he is governor.
Mr. Emezue also noted that the state would do whatever it takes to prevent
the incursion of political thugs from Imo State into Abia to disrupt the
peace there.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC)
has arrested total of Seventeen fake members of the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC).
They were rounded up and arrested at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Kubwa,
Abuja, on Thursday evening while they were posing and taking pictures outside the
camp during the passing-out ceremony.
The ICPC, in a statement, said its operatives stormed the camp based on
intelligence reports and arrested the suspects comprising eight females and nine
males.
It said preliminary investigation revealed that 15 of the suspects claimed to have
enrolled in degree courses run by consultancy services in the University of Calabar
(6), University of Jos (6), Ebonyi State University (1), Federal University of
Technology, Owerri (1) and Crown Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti (1).
Another suspect, a young man, impersonated his sister, a genuine corps member
who was receiving medical treatment abroad, in order to collect her discharge
certificate.
One of the fake corps members, the commission noted, never attended any
university, but said she wanted to get an NYSC discharge certificate.
Employers, parents and guardians have thus been warned to confirm from the
NYSC if they were suspicious of any person submitting call-up letters, posting
letters, discharged and exemption certificates.

Contrary to the
general belief
that strikes and incessant disruption of academic calendar have been
responsible for declining educational standards in the country, the Non-
Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU) has said, strikes are rather
saving the educational sector from total collapse.
The General Secretary of NASU, Comrade Peters Adeyemi said strike was
the only industrial tool that has been useful in getting the government to
partly live up to its responsibility.
He said benefits currently being enjoyed in the tertiary education sector
have been as a result of the strikes that were considered to have plagued the
sector.
He cited as example, the N130 billion the Federal government released
recently for infrastructure and allowances through the Chairman of the
Needs Assessment Implementation Committee, Benue State Governor
Gabriel Suswam.
“The government had already pledged to release N400 billion for
infrastructure since 2013; N100 billion for four years. But if not for the
ongoing strike, they would not have released the first N100 billion. Why
does the government have to wait for strikes to even start implementing
any part of an agreement?” Adeyemi asked.
He added that although NASU was not on strike, but that the salaries of its
members have not been paid for several months and that that was the
reason some local chapters embarked on strike.
He noted that the union was currently restraining itself, but could not
understand why its members’ salaries were being withheld.
Justifying the ongoing ASUU strike, he blamed the government for the spate
of strikes in the tertiary education sector, adding that sometimes the stance
of government negotiators left much to be desired.
“Government negotiators have to know their onions; they must know the
capacity and limitation of government. But if, on behalf of government,
they entered into an agreement to provide N1.3 trillion, then the
government is bound by that agreement,” he said.
Adeyemi said, “N130 billion is a lot of money, but is that what they said
they will provide in the agreement? When you know you are not in
position to do something, you should not promise to. You cannot have an
agreement, then after three years come back and say you want to
renegotiate that agreement.”
NASU/FGN 2009 agreement was also due for renegotiation, he said, but
noted that the agreement has not been fully implemented.
On why NASU decided to return to the Nigeria Labour Congress fold after it
pulled out in protest during the 2011 National Delegates Conference,
Adeyemi explained that the decision was taken because of the need to
reinvigorate the labour movement in Nigeria.
“The labour movement is one where you have to fight for your rights to get
it, so you need harmony. We can work together to enhance policies and
strategies of engagement for more effectiveness and repositioning of the
movement,” Adeyemi explained.
He added that the return of NASU into NLC was without conditions.
