Namtira Bwala, a student of Lead British International School, Abuja, who was b¥llied by her colleagues in the school, has filed a civil suit against the school management.

In the suit filed through her lawyer, Marvin Omorogbe, on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Bwala said that the school failed in its obligation to provide a safe and conducive learning environment for her.

She is seeking, among others, a public apology that would be published in two national dailies and N500 million in general damages.

She claimed among others, “A declaration that by the claimant’s studentship in the defendant’s school, Lead British International School, Gwarimpa, Abuja, the defendant owes the claimant a duty of care to protect her from any physical or emotional harm as well as any breach of her privacy while under the defendant’s custody and supervision.

A declaration that the defendant’s failure to prevent the a§§ault, torm£nt, emotional distress, pain, and tr@uma s¥ffered by the claimant while under the custody and supervision of the defendant amounts to negligent conduct on the part of the defendant.

An order directing the defendant to pay the claimant the sum of N500,000,000.00 (five hundred million naira) as general damages for the defendant’s breach of the duty of care it owes to the claimant, and its negligent conduct in failing to prevent the a§§ault, torm£nt, emotional distress, pain, tra¥ma and breach of privacy suffered by the claimant, while under the defendant’s custody and supervision.”

Corps members flood social media to demand payment of promised N77,000 allowance

National Youth Service Corp members have urged the Federal Government to implement the new minimum wage of N77,000 it promised to alleviate the economic hardship they are undergoing.

The corps members took to their social media handles to share their concerns on Wednesday.

They said in spite of the Federal Government’s  approval of a new minimum wage,  in July 2024, corps members were still receiving the old allowance of N33,000.

According to them, the old allowance is no longer sustainable due to high transportation, feeding, and other daily expenses.

The Twitter reactions read, “Three months after, the Federal Government still believes that N33k is enough for NYSC members to survive,” twitted @NoorAjuwon.

“How can we even concentrate on our primary assignment with N33k in this current economic situation?” asked @Arbdoolbasid_Jr.

“High transportation costs: @Eze_na_ujari spends N5,000 on transportation and N2,000 on Community Development Service (CDS) contributions, leaving him with N26,000 from the N33,000 allowance.

“Poor living conditions: @blazzin_225 described the situation as “suffering and wickedness” due to bad NYSC lodges, dilapidated bathrooms and toilets, and starvation

Another tweet urged at @officialABAT to “See us as your children too. We’re dying.”

The Federal Government approved the new minimum wage after the expiration of the old wage structure in April. The new approval is expected to be extended to corps members.
