The return of Nigerians evacuated from Sudan and the warning issued by the military against those planning to disrupt the May 29 inauguration were the top stories on the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers. The return of the citizens from Sudan was a relief for their families and loved ones, and the government’s efforts in bringing them back was commendable. However, the warning by the military against any form of disruption during the inauguration sparked concerns among Nigerians. The government has assured citizens of their safety during the event, and the security agencies are on high alert to prevent any form of disturbance. It is hoped that the inauguration will go smoothly without any incident.
According to The Punch, the military has issued another warning against any attempts to sabotage the transfer of power to Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, on May 29. This is likely in response to growing concerns about potential unrest or violence during the transition period. In other news, the federal government has reportedly refunded N859.7 billion to state governments for expenses related to the construction of federal roads over the past eight years. This reimbursement could help to ease some of the financial strain on state governments, which have been grappling with budget deficits and other economic challenges in recent years.
This situation is alarming as it directly affects the quality of education being received by students in these schools. The TRCN has called for urgent action to be taken to address this issue and ensure that only qualified teachers are employed in private schools. The story also highlights the challenges faced by Nigerians who have returned from Sudan, including lack of support from the government, difficulty in finding jobs, and lack of access to basic amenities. This is a reminder of the need for the government to provide adequate support and opportunities for its citizens, especially those who have experienced hardship abroad.
Hudu Yunusa-Ari, who was suspended as the resident electoral commissioner in Adamawa, has been granted bail according to a report by The Nation. This news comes amidst a call by former head of state, Yakubu Gowon, urging politicians with cases before election petition tribunals to accept the outcomes in good faith. Gowon’s call for acceptance of results is a timely reminder of the importance of respect for the democratic process and the rule of law. It is hoped that the outcome of the case involving Yunusa-Ari will be determined in a fair and transparent manner, and that the principles of justice and accountability will be upheld in all elections in Nigeria.
According to the Daily Independent, President-elect Bola Tinubu has vowed to address the issue of corruption in the Nigerian judiciary. This is a significant step towards ensuring that the judicial system operates with transparency, fairness, and accountability. Additionally, the newspaper reported that the federal government provided financial assistance to 376 Nigerians who were evacuated from Sudan. This gesture demonstrates the government’s commitment to the well-being of its citizens, particularly those who are in difficult situations abroad. It is hoped that the government will continue to prioritize the welfare of Nigerians both at home and abroad.
According to a report by The Guardian, Nigerian citizens have spent a total of $4 billion on overseas education in the past eight years. This comes as a result of poor funding and neglect of public schools in the country. The Nigerian House of Representatives has approved N23.7 trillion in extra-budgetary spending, which has been borrowed from the Central Bank of Nigeria by the federal government. This alarming figure highlights the lack of investment in education by the government, which has forced many families to look for alternative options for their children’s education. It also puts into question the quality of education being provided in public schools across Nigeria. The government must take immediate steps to address this issue and ensure that Nigerian children have access to high-quality education.
