ASUU Warns of University Shutdowns Over Soaring N300m Monthly Electricity Bills
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has raised alarm over the potential collapse of many Nigerian universities due to the rising cost of electricity.
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, made this known on Thursday during a national conference in Abuja.
Osodeke revealed that several universities are now dealing with electricity bills ranging from N200 million to N300 million monthly, yet the federal government provides only N15 million per month for both electricity and other essential running costs.
He also expressed concern about the disparity in government spending, highlighting that while universities receive only N15 million for operational costs, individual Senators are paid N21 million each per month.
Osodeke questioned the government’s priorities, warning that without intervention, universities may be forced to shut down due to these financial challenges.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
