ASUU-Federal Government Meeting Postponed, New Date Set for August 28

The planned meeting between the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government, originally scheduled for Monday, has been postponed.
This meeting was set to address a range of unresolved issues that have hindered the development of Nigerian universities.
In a recent update, ASUU President, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, informed news outlets on Monday that the meeting, which had been previously confirmed by the Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, would no longer take place as planned.
While no specific reason was provided for the postponement, it was announced that the meeting is now expected to take place on Wednesday, August 28.
ASUU had recently issued a 21-day ultimatum to the Federal Government, threatening to go on strike if certain longstanding issues were not addressed.
These issues include the release of an emergency revitalization fund for public universities, the payment of outstanding earned academic allowances, the release of withheld salaries, promotion arrears, and third-party deductions owed to ASUU members.
Other matters on the agenda include addressing the alleged illegal recruitment practices, halting the proliferation of public universities, and the perceived abuse of university laws, regulations, and processes.
ASUU is also calling for the removal of universities from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and is advocating for the introduction of a new Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) to better promote the autonomy of Nigerian universities.
The meeting is expected to focus on finding resolutions to these pressing concerns, with ASUU stressing the importance of prompt action from the Federal Government to avoid further disruptions to the academic calendar.

“Aliko Dangote is Nigeria’s Biggest Debtor” – Dr. Cosmos Maduka Claims

Nigerian Businessman Dr. Cosmos Maduka analyzes popular Billionaire, Aliko Dangote and describes him as the biggest debtor in Nigeria.
The businessman highlighted the fact that people who seem to have the most money are often the largest debtors.
“The number one debtor in Nigeria is Aliko Dangote. He’s the wealthiest man in Africa. The number one debtor in the world is the United States of America and you call them the richest in the world.”
“As you admire all of those things, it’s all credit. It’s all about credit. So you should leverage on loan, but you have to have a good structure that will support that loan.”

Dangote Drops Petrol Price Again as New Rates Start Across Nigeria

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has once again slashed the pump price of petrol across Nigeria, offering some relief to consumers. The new price now falls between N875 and N905 per litre, reflecting a N15 drop. This update was shared on the refinery’s official social media page on Thursday.
According to Dangote, the price cut affects major fuel distributors working with the refinery, including MRS, Ardova, Heyden, Optima Energy, Techno Oil, and Hyde Energy. With this change, Lagos residents will now buy petrol at N875 per litre. Those in the South-South and South-East regions will pay N905, while the South-West sees a new rate of N885.
In the North-West and central parts of the country, it’s N895, and the North-East will also pay N905. Dangote added that their petrol and diesel are not only high-quality but also designed to support engine efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol Price to N825 per Litre

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has lowered the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), or petrol, to N825 per litre, down from N835, as competition heats up in Nigeria’s fuel market.
This follows last month’s price reduction, when the 650,000 barrels per day refinery dropped the price from N865 to N835. The recent price change is aimed at providing more value to customers while strengthening Dangote’s position as a leader in the domestic market.
