Osun Lecturers Suspend 7-Month Strike


The Osun State Government and lecturers in the four state-owned polytechnics and colleges of education have finally agreed to sheath their swords.
This agreement brought to an end the industrial action embarked upon by the Council of Academic Staff Unions of Osun State-Owned Tertiary Institutions (CASUOSTI) that has led to the closure of all the institutions for over seven months.
‎At the signing of the agreement at the Governor’s office in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, Secretary of the CASUOSTI, Olusegun Lana, said that the suspension of the strike followed government’s decision to accede to their demands as identified in the agreement signed.
He urged the state government not to renege on the agreement but ensure it is followed to the letter.
The Chief of Staff, Gboyega Oyetola, who represented Governor Rauf Aregbesola, appealed to the lecturers to build the required trust in the government to foster peace.
He said that it was never the wish of the government not to implement the agreement reached with the lecturers but for the paucity of the allocation which he said would soon be a thing of the past.

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday. There are insinuations that Obasanjo is not well disposed to Buhari either and would want an interim national government (ING) to be headed by him to midwife new elections in which neither Jonathan nor Buhari would be candidates.

Onetime actress turned nurse, Regina Askia Williams, has written to President Muhammadu Buhari on the state of nation.
