Eyewitnesses claimed that the tanker driver who was on top speed sped off after the incident but was apprehended by the police in Chachanga some kilometers from where the incident occurred.Students who witnessed the incident said that the victim was on a commercial motorcycle and was about to take a u-turn when the tanker which was on a top speed came upon them, the commercial cyclist escaped but the pregnant woman could not move.The victim is said to be a student of the department of Languages in the institution; this incident caused the students to come out en-masse and created a blockage as they protested the death.The Provost of the institution, police and FRSC officials came to pacify the students but to no avail as they refused to budge.

After two hours of protesting, the Police were able to calm the students and bring the situation under control and they also tried to clear the road of traffic.The driver who was earlier apprehended by the FRSC was later handed over to the Police.The post Tanker Crushes Pregnant Woman to Death in Minna appeared first on The Nation Nigeria.  ONLINE NEWS.

BRAKING NEWS: Govt scraps HNDs, merges polys with varsitiesFrom Madu Onuorah, Abuja:THE Federal Executive Council (FEC) yesterday approved a comprehensive reform of Nigeria's tertiary education system, scrapping the award of the Higher National Diploma (HND) by the nation's polytechnics.In effect, the award of the HND will be limited to only the students currently admitted for the programmes.Also, all the programmes currently being run by the polytechnics, which are not technology-based, and which are about 70 per cent,will be scrapped.Under the new rule, the polytechnics will now become campuses of the proximate universities with the Vice Chancellors of thoseuniversities appointing provosts for the polytechnics, subject to the ratification of the Universities Councils.The polytechnics will now be limited to award of the National Diploma (ND) while those desirous of further education will be awardedthe Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) by the proximate university.To kick-start the new policy, the nation's two most prominent polytechnics - Yaba College of Technology and Kaduna Polytechnic -will henceforth be known as City University of Technology, Yaba and City University of Technology, Kaduna.And to give legal teeth to these approvals, the FEC approved the submission of two Executive bills to the National Assembly for enactment into law.With education being on the concurrent list, the states may wish to consolidate their tertiary institutions. But if they do not wish to follow the federal example, their programmes will continue to be regulated by the relevant agencies of the Federal Ministry of Education.The first bill will concretise the setting up of the two city universities while the second will approve the preparation and consolidationof all federal polytechnics and colleges of education as campuses of proximate universities.The Ministry of Justice will do the preparation and submission of the two bills to the National Assembly.Minister of Education, Mall. Adamu, told journalists after the weekly meeting of the council that under the reform measures, her ministry would, however, continue to licence private polytechnics and colleges of education for the award of qualification at ND and National Certificate in Education (NCE) levels.She said: "There will be no more award of HND.After we have exhausted the current students under the programme, there will be no more award of HND. This means that there will be no fresh admission for HND programmes. And in addition, any programme that is not technical will be out of the polytechnics. About 70 per cent of polytechnic graduates are in the non-technical courses. It is going to be a rigorous implementation programme."A ministerial committee to ensure the smooth implementation of all that is required for the take-off of the reform initiatives is to begin work immediately.Mall. Adamu said: "The HND certificate will remain a legal tender in Nigeria and holders of such certificate will continue to be recognised as the equivalent of first degree holders without discriminatory remunerations and limit to progression in the work place.The NCE certificate will be retained as the minimum teaching qualification at the basic level of education. Any higher qualifications bythese private or state-owned polytechnics will be only affiliation with a university. So, HND is no longer in existence, but existing HND will be respected and considered legal tender."The council also approved the Federal Government's formal take-over of the Waziri Umaru Polytechnic, Birnin Kebbi, which will be the College of Technology campus of the Othman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto, as well as the Hussein Adamu Polytechnic, Kazaure,Bauchi, which will be a College of Technology of the proximate university in the state.Also, the Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri, Imo State, has been taken over as a campus of the Federal University ofTechnology, Owerri.A state that had never had any federal institution, like Bayelsa, is to have a College of Technology as a campus of the College of Technology of the University of Port Harcourt.Also, Bali, in Taraba State, is to have a college of technology as a campus of the country.

                                          I'm not dating Falz or Adekunle Gold

, says SimiSimi‘Jamb Question’ crooner, Simi, has opened up concerning how she met her first love, who she stated that she eventually lost contact with.The singer disclosed this in an interview with The Sun News , making sure to reject rumours concerning having a romantic relationship with Falz or Adekunle Gold .    “My first love? I met him when I was 13 and in SS1. I was just about to turn 14 and he just came to my school.     “How do you really explain that as a child? But it did happen, and he left my school after a while, so we drifted apart. Then we met somewhere again. We drifted apart again and then that was it.“Simi, who also admitted that she is in a romantic relationship with someone said she hopes that the person is the one she ends up settling down with.According to her, that should naturally be the outcome when one is emotionally invested in a love affair.    “Well, I hope he is the one because I don’t think relationships should just be for leisure. I can’t really speak for anybody but for me.”    “If I am giving you an access to that part of my life then it has to be worth my while and worth his while as well. But I can’t force it though, if he is the one, fine and if not, fine“, she said.

LATEST NEWS ON RESUMPTION

*LATEST RESUMPTION NEWS*This writeup is not written to frighten us, but to let us know the latest news about the school, so as to increase our prayer level for the school if at all we are praying. Before I go to the full details 👉 Be informed that, we are no more in semester break but now on strike 👉 Be informed that, the university Non-teaching staffs (NASU) has joined the university teaching staffs (ASUU) on strike. 👉 Be informed that, there is No resumption date for now, as any one announced by anybody is invalid and just a rumor. 👉 Be informed that, the school gate was closed yesterday as LAUTECH Non-teaching staff threatened to cause violence in school, as a results which led to well recognized lecturers trekking to their various offices. *Now to the full gist*It is no longer a news that LAUTECH is on strike for over a month now, which was approved at local level. According to one our lecturers ( a respected lecturer from CSE) said to us yesterday that, _" The academic teaching staffs (ASUU) of the university has given the school holders till 30th of this month to respond to the ongoing strike, else the strike will be taken to national level for approval which will lead to indefinite strike. "_If the strike is approved on a national level, the indefinite strike will start which will last for at *least* one month according to her.Also be aware that all Nigeria universities academic teaching staffs (ASUU) has also given the federal government 8days to respond to the agreement signed with them the last time they embarked on strike which lasted for 6months in 2013. Failure to which will lead to all the Academic staffs in the country to embark on another indefinite strike which will last for at least 3months as said by her.😳😳this remind me of the last time they went on strike in 2013 which lasted for 6months..OMG. In conclusion, if ASUU at lautech level and national level is not attended to b4 the end of this month, indefinite strike will start which will last longer than you ever think. Fellow ladokite, this is the present state of the university. It is high time we fast and pray for this citadel of learning as next week bring to us our fate on resumption. I will bring it to a close at this point. Thanks. *Rebroadcast*.

DO NOT DO WITHOUT READING (INCIDENT)

PICK YOUR CALLS PLEASE, During the burial of a young man, another young man was crying out his heart. He wept uncontrollably that many people kept wondering what is wrong with him.The mc dropped the microphone and went and took this weeping young man to a corner, calmed him down and he started to explain.He was with the guy that died the day he met his death. He drove off first and on getting to a particular spot, he noticed that some armed robbers were getting ready to block the road and resume operation. He managed to escape. He started calling his friend to tell him what he saw, that he should remain where he was. This friend would not pick his call. To him: “why is he calling?He should know that I am driving right behind him”. He refused to pick the call as this guy kept calling and calling. Finally, he drove into the now ready armed robbers and they pumped countless bullets on him.He died on the spot and armed robbers stole his car. This man was crying because he knew his friend killed himself. Many of us are just like this.Are you the one buying the credit for him or her? Pick your call when your phone rings and know why you are been called. If the phone rings twenty times in one minute, pick in all occasions. He was saving credit for his friend because I am driving straight to where he is, he met his death.You are in an occasion and you are calling someone you are looking at because you want to pass a crucial information, he ignores the call and is walking up to you instead, even when you are making sign that he should pick the call.It is possible that this caller didn’t want you to come near him because he wanted to code something. Pick your call and say hello. Some people will not pick calls from numbers they don’t know and I wonder:HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW ON PLANET EARTH? DO YOU EVER THINK THAT THOSE PEOPLE YOU KNOW ARE ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE? Note something, there is no one individual that knows up to 1% of the world population. Is it not insanity for you to restrict your life to just 1% of global population? What of the remaining 99%? Many people have missed life saving opportunities because they refused to pick a particular call.PICK YOUR PHONE WHEN IT RINGS AS LONG AS YOU ARE AVAILABLE. ONE CALL CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER AND REFUSAL TO PICK A PARTICULAR CALL CAN LEAD TO UNTIMELY DEATH. Playing take note

We are here to give our total support to him over the recent framing of him in an alleged forgery case, because we cannot, as fathers and conscience of the party, sit down and just watch.”“Senator Ekweremadu is a man of integrity with a high record of performance. We want to advise strongly that nobody should try to tarnish his personality and we are strongly calling for fair hearing and justice in the attempt to rope-in Senator Ekweremadu for political reasons.READ ALSO: Tension: Over 2,000 protesters storm House of Assembly“He was elected Deputy President of Senate by 48 PDP senators with the support of APC Senators, which is a good ingredient of our democracy. No attempt should be made to rope him in. He should be left alone to continue the good service to the country.” Another ranking member of the BoT and former president of the Senate, Adolphus Wabara, said the era of executive interference in legislative business was over given the spirit of support among Senators.Wabara noted that the 14 southeast Senators are behind Ekweremadu, just as the overwhelming numbers of senators were solidly behind Saraki and Ekweremadu leadership.Ekweremadu, speaking on the occasion, said that a number of senators belonging to the APC were making moves towards joining the PDP on account of what he claimed as the reign of tyranny in the ruling party.He expressed gratitude to the BoT members the show of solidarity and support, which he said showed that it was not only the conscience of the PDP, but also of the country as well.Meanwhile, the APC is reportedly making a demand for the return of former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu.Reports credited to Premium Times have it that the Adamawa state chapter of the APC is saying that Ribadu, who is now a stalwart of the PDP to return to the party where they claimed he truly belongs.Ribadu, one of the founding leaders of the APC, having contested Nigeria’s presidency under the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria but left for the PDP shortly before the 2015 general elections.

Group threatens to shut down EFCC office

A middle belt group is threatening to shut
down EFCC office in Abuja
– The group said it resolved to occupy the
commission over their failure to commence
the prosecution of those indicted by the
Justice Kpojime Commission of inquiry
– A former aide to ex-Governor Gabriel
Suswam said the agitation of the group was
belated
The Middle Belt Renaissance Movement
(MBRM), has threatened to occupy the Abuja
office of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), by Thursday, July 7, over
the failure of the commission to commence
the prosecution of 52 persons allegedly
indicted by the Justice Kpojime Commission of
inquiry in Benue state.
Kuanum Terrence, the national coordinator of
the group, who addressed reporters in Makurdi
said the aim of their action would be to
compel the anti-graft agency to commence the
prosecution of those indicted by the panel,
Vanguard reports.

He said: “ We are bothered that after the report
of Justice Elizabeth Kpojime Commission of
enquiry which indicted former Governor Gabriel
Suswam and 51 persons for allegedly looting
Benue State treasury was submitted to the
EFCC, the matter has been swept under the
carpet. We have resolved to occupy the head
office of the commission in protest over their
inaction and after 72 hours, if they still fail to
commence the prosecution of those indicted .”
In reaction, Job Tsegha, the former senior
special assistant to former Governor Gabriel
Suswam, said the agitation of the MBRM came
late as a high court in Makurdi recently
quashed the report of the panel.
“ I am not sure the MBRM is conversant with
the developments in Benue state because the
Kpojime report has already been quashed by a
Makurdi high court.
“The whole thing was a witch-hunt so they
should get their facts right ,” he said.

The Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) brigade,
on Monday, July 4, began a clampdown on
street hawkers and traders for violating the
laws of Lagos state.

The state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, had

decided to be hard on the sellers following the

destruction of about 49 BRT buses after a

hawker was pursued into it by KAI officers.

Monday, July 4. The road used to be filled with

hawkers. Photo: Emmanuel Osodi.

Reports say the hawkers have been alerted

about the new rule and had been told to leave

the streets, which failure to comply attracts a

six-month jail term or N90,000 fine.

of some streets and busy roads but there really

few hawkers on the streets with the ones seen

selling at areas where they might be able to

evade arrest.

And further reports by Information Nigeria

revealed that some of the hawkers were nabbed

along major routes in Lagos such as Maryland,

Ojota, Ikeja, Oshodi, among others.

arrest street hawkers.

Although the latest resolve by the Lagos state

government is not a new law in the state, many

have condemned the new move as they believe

the governor should have provided options for

the hawkers who will now be displaced since

their sources of income have been taken away

from them.

Many are also of the opinion that putting the

traders out of the streets might increase the

spate of robbery in the local areas, which they

believe street trading has helped to reduce.
