          Senator Oluremi Tinubu

Senator Oluremi Tinubu on Tuesday called for declaration of a state of emergency in the education sector of the country.

Tinubu, the wife of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Bola Tinubu, made the call while speaking with newsmen in Lagos.

The senator, representing Lagos Central senatorial district spoke on the side line of the opening of the 12th Annual Research Conference and Fair organised by the University of Lagos.

The senator was reacting to the indefinite strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities nationwide.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the lecturers were protesting the non-implementation of both the 2013 Memorandum of Understanding and the 2009 agreement it entered into with the Federal Government.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities had on Monday declared an indefinite strike over Federal Government failure to keep to the 2009 agreement.

According to Tinubu, for a country to excel, its education must be built on a firm foundation.
She said: “We have to declare a state of emergency on education in this country.
“This is what we have been going through, even during the budget process.

“There are lots of shortfalls in our universities.
“Even when I visit universities, when I look at their laboratories and a lot of other teaching materials, they are nothing to be cheerful about.’’

She recalled that during her school days, she was not from a rich family, “but I went through school and was proud to go through school’’.
She urged the Federal Government to look into the agitation of the union seriously and proffer a workable solution.

Tinubu said: “I also want to plead with ASUU to show understanding with the government, and consider the young people.”

She noted that when a country is filled with more than half of the population, not being properly educated, “it becomes detrimental to the growth of the nation.

The court has ruled that the fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by billionaire kidnapper Evans can proceed. Evans initiated a suit against the Police over infringement on his fundamental rights before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.

The Police argued that the suit was not ripe for hearing since the Inspector-General of Police and the commissioner have not been personally served

Billionaire kidnapper Evans has won the first round of his court battle as the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Wednesday, August 16 ruled that the fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by him can proceed.

The objections of the Lagos state Police Commissioner and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad was dismissed by Justice Abdulaziz Anka who agreed with counsel to Evans, Olukoya Ogungbeje, that service on the first and second respondents had been properly effected.

In the case against Evans, the first and second respondents are the inspector general of Police and the Nigeria Police Force while other respondents are the Lagos state Police Commissioner and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Punch reports.

Justice Anka in his ruling said that Order 4 Rule 5 of the Fundamental Rights Enforcement Procedure Rules of 2009 enjoins the court to pursue speed and justice on issues of fundamental human rights.

NAIJ.com had reported that counsel to the police Mr Eze argued that the suit was not ripe for hearing since the Inspector-General of Police and the commissioner have not been personally served.

In countering Eze’s argument, Ogungbeje insisted that Order 5 Rule 2 of the Fundamental Rights Enforcement Procedure Rules of 2009, gives him the opportunity to the agents of the respondent.

Grace-Mugabe.jpg
               Grace Mugabe
Zimbabwe’s first lady, Grace Mugabe, returned home on Tuesday from South Africa after failing to turn herself in to police in Johannesburg to face charges of assaulting a model in a hotel room.

There was no immediate public comment on the case from Grace, 52, a possible successor to her husband President Robert Mugabe, 93, who has ruled Zimbabwe since 1980.

However, Zimbabwe government sources confirmed she had returned home.
“Yes, she is back in the country. We don’t know where this issue of assault charges is coming from,” said a senior government official, who declined to be named because they were not authorised to speak to the press.

A second official also confirmed that Grace had returned, saying “she is around now” and accused the media of a plot to tarnish the first family’s name.

Earlier, South African police had been negotiating with Grace’s lawyers to get her to turn her in to face charges of assault, a senior police source said.

Twenty-year-old Gabriella Engels told South African media Grace had attacked her after the model had gone to see the Mugabes’ sons Robert and Chatunga at a hotel in Johannesburg’s upmarket Sandton district on Sunday.

Confusion surrounded the case on Tuesday.
South African police minister, Fikile Mbalula, had earlier in the day said that Grace had already handed herself in to police and would appear in court shortly.

However, in the afternoon, the magistrates’ court where Grace had been expected to be formally charged closed for the day without her appearing.
The police source said Grace had earlier agreed to hand herself over at 10am local time but failed to do so.

The Rice Millers Association of Nigeria has promised to provide useful information to the Nigeria Customs Service in its efforts to curb the smuggling of rice into the country.

The RIMAN’s Chairman, Board of Trustees, Peter Dharma, gave this assurance in Kano on Tuesday at the inaugural meeting of the association.
He said that Nigerians had, over the years, been losing enormous resources to the smuggling of food items into the country.

Dharma also pledged that the association would support the Federal Government’s programme value chain of local rice cultivation, milling, processing and production.
He said: “Our association will work closely with the regulatory and policy makers to ensure standards in local rice milling.”

The chairman also stated that the association would support research into renewable energy source, which he said, the association would recommend to its members in the near future.

Speaking on the occasion, the Area Commander of the Nigeria Customs Service, Yusuf Abba, hailed RIMAN’s plan, as according to him, it will yield some economic benefits to the country.
Abba, who was represented by the Deputy Comptroller Enforcement of the service, Ago Hyacinth, said smugglers should no longer be allowed to sabotage the nation’s economy.

Mallam Muhammed Munir, a director at the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, said the Federal Government’s injection of money into the sector, would facilitate employment opportunities for citizens.

NAN reports that the association at the inaugural meeting discussed the various issues surrounding rice production in the country.
