2025-07-09KWASU issues another response to notice of false claims of robbery attacks in malete
Kwara State University (KWASU) is aware of recent misleading information circulating on social media, specifically a write-up by Wahab Oba, which attempts to undermine the university's reputation and that of the Kwara State Government. The writer's claims of a "deafening silence" regarding recent robbery incidents affecting KWASU students in private accommodations are unfounded and misrepresent the active measures being taken to enhance security in Malete. Key Highlights: - Security Progress : KWASU and the Kwara State Government, under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, are making significant strides in restoring safety in the Malete community. Recent efforts have led to the apprehension of some robbery suspects, with ongoing investigations to capture those still at large. - Collaborative Efforts : The university management is working closely with security agencies, local government officials, and student representatives to tackle security challenges. A joint security committee has been established to ensure safety in private hostels, including the deployment of professional vigilantes. - Enhanced Security Measures : Increased security personnel, including additional police and NSCDC officers, are actively patrolling the Malete area. Restrictions on movement are being implemented to further safeguard students and residents. - Community Engagement : The ongoing collaboration between KWASU, the Moro Local Government Council, and the community is crucial in maintaining a safe environment. The local government is formalizing security measures into bylaws to ensure sustained protection. KWASU urges the public to disregard misleading narratives and remain informed about the proactive steps being taken to ensure the safety and security of all students and residents in Malete. Stay Informed, Stay Safe : KWASU is committed to transparency and will continue to provide updates on security developments.

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.
