Former Provost of FCE Akoka Faces Public Outcry
Dr. Ademola Azeez, the former Provost of Federal College of Education, Technical Akoka in Lagos, was publicly escorted out of the institution amidst a chorus of chants from both staff and students, denouncing him as a thief.
This dramatic exit came after the school’s governing council demanded his resignation due to serious allegations against him.
Dr. Azeez is set to face investigations into various charges, including financial fraud, misuse of authority, and the alleged execution of fake contracts.
Additionally, he is accused of withholding unsigned certificates for students who had graduated over the past five years.
The campus community had organized a special event for August 16 to celebrate his departure with a party, complete with a festive atmosphere and themed clothing.
The scene was one of both triumph and disdain, underscoring the power that lies in the collective voice of the people beneath the leadership.
Dr. Azeez’s exit was marked by disgrace and a pitiful display, reflecting the significant impact of public sentiment on authority.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
