Taraba University Students Suspend Planned Protest, Give State Government Ultimatum

Students of Taraba State University (TSU) have temporarily suspended their planned peaceful protest to allow the state government time to address their demands.
The protest was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was postponed following the indefinite strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Taraba Chapter. The strike has disrupted examinations and final-year academic activities at the institution in Jalingo, the state capital.
Aliyu Sulaiman, President of the National Union of Taraba State Students (NUTASS), urged the government to act quickly to resolve the crisis and ensure students can return to their academic activities.
Nungamiya Galeya Lodiya, chairman of the Joint Campus Council of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Taraba Chapter, warned that if the government fails to meet their demands by Friday, students would resort to protests, including blocking all federal roads within the state.
The ongoing ASUU strike is a result of unresolved grievances by the state government, according to the union. This impasse has left students frustrated, with Rose Okoh Agada, the Student Union President, expressing disappointment over the situation.
Agada said, “The government and lecturers must find a way to end this crisis; we cannot continue to suffer for their disagreements.”
Meanwhile, Norbert Abeh, a representative of the Students Representative Assembly (SRA), called on both the government and the lecturers to prioritize students’ interests and resolve the crisis promptly.

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
