2026-04-23UniAbuja Implements 'No Work, No Pay' Amidst ASUU Strike
University of Abuja Management Enforces 'No Work, No Pay' The University of Abuja management has announced the implementation of a 'No Work, No Pay' policy for any staff found absent from their duty posts. This decision comes as a faction of the institution's Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) continues its industrial action. Vice-Chancellor Abdul-Rasheed Na’Allah stated that a circular has been issued, mandating all academic staff to resume their teaching duties. Failure to comply will result in the forfeiture of salaries. Professor Na’Allah emphasized the principle of not paying for work not performed, adding that the university management is actively addressing the grievances raised by the striking ASUU members. However, ASUU has indicated that no resolution or agreement was reached following a meeting held over a week ago. The union reported a lack of communication from the university since that meeting. Background of the Strike The institution's ASUU chapter initiated an indefinite strike on May 2nd. Their grievances include accusations of the university management violating its establishment laws, particularly concerning staff appointments and promotions in the absence of a governing council. The union also alleges that the university has shortchanged ASUU in the establishment of the UniAbuja Microfinance Bank, despite ASUU being a stakeholder and shareholder since 2017. Sylvanus Ugoh, the union's chairperson, also criticized the recent advertorial for the position of a vice chancellor to succeed Na’Allah. He argued that appointing a vice chancellor is the sole responsibility of the university's governing council, which is currently non-existent. The absence of governing councils in Nigerian tertiary institutions, including UniAbuja, stems from a directive issued by President Bola Tinubu last June, which dissolved all government parastatals. The ASUU national body recently issued a two-week ultimatum to the Nigerian government, demanding the reinstatement of councils whose tenures have not expired and the reconstitution of those whose tenures have lapsed. ASUU contends that the lack of governing councils has led to numerous irregularities within the universities. Despite these ongoing disputes, the University of Abuja management, under Vice-Chancellor Na’Allah, maintains that steps are being taken to resolve the issues in contention with the union, with agreements reportedly reached on some matters.

2025-12-18How Education Transformed Lives Behind Bars at Kuje Custodial Centre
In a world where education is often seen as a privilege, a remarkable story emerged from the Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre in Abuja, Nigeria. Imagine a place filled with despair and hopelessness, yet within its walls, a transformative journey was taking place. Six inmates, against all odds, were conferred academic degrees by the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), proving that the power of education can indeed break barriers. A Journey of Resilience The ceremony, held in December 2025, was not just another event; it symbolized hope and redemption. As the Controller-General of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Sylvester Nwakuche, addressed the audience, the atmosphere was thick with emotion. He praised the graduating inmates for their resilience and commitment to learning, despite the challenges of incarceration. His words resonated deeply, highlighting how education can act as a beacon of light in the darkest of places. Degrees Earned Behind Bars The six graduates completed various programs at NOUN, including two Master’s degrees in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution, along with four Bachelor’s degrees in related fields. Each degree represented not just academic achievement, but a step towards personal transformation and societal reintegration. These qualifications signify the importance of prison education as a tool for rehabilitation, allowing inmates to acquire practical skills and renewed confidence. A Collaborative Effort The successful partnership between NOUN and the NCoS reflects a growing recognition of the role education plays in reforming lives. Nwakuche emphasized that education equips inmates with the necessary tools for a productive life post-release. This collaboration shows that even within a correctional facility, the pursuit of knowledge is not only possible but essential for personal growth. The journey of these inmates teaches us that no matter our circumstances, the pursuit of knowledge can lead to redemption and a brighter future. This story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the unwavering belief that education can truly change lives. Final Thoughts As we move forward, let us advocate for inclusive education, not just within the confines of traditional institutions, but also in spaces where it is desperately needed. Together, we can help build a society where everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive, regardless of their past.

Lagos State Hears from Civil Service Commission on Teacher Recruitment Over 50,000 individuals applied for 1,000 teaching positions announced by the Lagos State Government in 2019. Suru Avoseh, a member of the Lagos State Civil Service Commission, disclosed this information during a New Year Party organized by the Badagry Women Development Forum in Badagry. The Lagos State Government had previously announced plans on November 11 to recruit one thousand teachers for public secondary schools across the state. Mr. Avoseh stated that some qualified applicants have already been invited to sit for an examination. Selection Process Underway Following the examination, candidates who pass and meet the required standards will proceed to oral interviews. Mr. Avoseh confirmed that some successful candidates are already receiving text messages via their phone numbers. He emphasized that not all applicants will be employed, nor will everyone who passes the examination be guaranteed a job. Broader Employment Initiatives The Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and the Civil Service Commission are also preparing to commence recruitments soon. Mr. Avoseh indicated that all necessary steps are being taken, and discussions have been held with the Head of Service. A staff auditing exercise is currently underway to determine the exact number of vacancies to be filled.

Call for Women in Politics Separately, Mr. Avoseh encouraged women in Badagry to increase their participation in politics, stressing its importance for the city's development. He urged them to assert their right to contest for any political office they choose. Guidance for Women on Child-Rearing Mrs. Funmilola Olajide, Director at the Lagos State Office of Special Education, advised women to foster close relationships with their children, acting as best friends. She believes this approach encourages children to share their experiences and challenges. Olajide stressed the importance of creating time for children to ensure they feel safe to report any abuse. She warned against leaving children under the care of relatives or friends, as these individuals could potentially pose a risk. She concluded by advising parents to make their children feel comfortable and secure at home. Women as Warriors at Home Joy Damilola, a Human Resource Consultant, described women as warriors, emphasizing their crucial role within the home.
