With Humongous dismay and grievances in our heart, the leadership of Association of Northern Nigerian Student totally condemned the decision of the Senate Leadership over the Suspension of Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi.

As Nigerians may all be aware few days ago Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi allege Senate President over budget padding which #3.7 Trillion remains unaccounted for in the 2024 budget, without specific project.

Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi has a well experience Politician, very compassionate in protecting the interest of Nigerians irrespective of religious, tribe, political affiliation or any other status.

It is so ridiculously for the Senate Leadership to suspend our entire voice of the Northerners in the senate because we believe in the effective Leadership’s of Sen. Abdul Ahmed Ningi towards protecting the interest of the North and the Nation at large

Mr President of the Senate, we want to call your attention to remind you incase you have forgotten the duty and responsibility of the Legislatives, of course what Sen. Abdul Ahmed Ningi did is part of his duty as the Legislature are to checkmate the budget, ensure full implementation of the budget, and make laws of the country. therefore we are proud of the leadership of Sen. Abdul Ningi the fact that he prof to his constituents that he knows what he is doing as well he is representing them very good not as other senators that are sleeping in the Senate, while others are afraid of such brutality and indeed some are only fighting for their pockets.

In this regard, we will not fold our hands and keep watching this dictatorship of the Senate Leadership which can cause our representatives to be fear of standing and protecting our legitimate interest that will bring development in our Constituency.

We hereby issue 48 Hours Ultimatum to the Senate Leadership to reverse their decision or face a mega protest that will shutdown National Assembly.

Comrade Sani Adamu
National President, ANNS.

Panic among Ondo varsity students over missing colleagues

Published

on

The student community of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, has been thrown into a state of panic following the mysterious disappearance of two of their colleagues.

The whereabouts of the students, Andrel Okah of the Department of History and International Studies, and John Abba of the Department of Economics, who were last seen two weeks ago, have caused fear and despair among their coursemates.

Both students are in 200-level, and according to close friends, all efforts to reach them via their phones have been unsuccessful. This has raised particular concern, as they are known for their regular attendance at classes and academic activities.

According to a fellow student, who identified himself as Ajibola, the two students have not been seen on campus for the past two weeks, behaviour he described as highly unusual, hence the growing anxiety.

He said, “We don’t even know if it is a case of kidnapping or something else. The two of them are very close, though. But efforts to reach them through their phones have repeatedly failed. Their sudden disappearance is giving us concerns. The students’ community is already worried and also agitated.”

Expressing frustration over what he described as a lack of urgency from the relevant authorities, Ajibola noted that, although the matter had been reported to both the university management and the police, no concrete action had yet been taken.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the institution, Mr Victor Akinpelumi, stated that the police had already been informed of the development by the university.

Similarly, the spokesperson for the state police command, Olayinka Ayanlade, confirmed that the matter had been reported and was under investigation.
