🕊️ REST IN PEACE, ACADEMIC GIANT 🕊️

*Northern Nigeria’s first Professor of Education*, Professor Adamu Baikie, has passed on at the age of 94.

Prof. Baikie was a pioneering scholar, an education reformer, and a proud product of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. He made history as the first Professor of Education in Northern Nigeria, laying a solid foundation for teacher education and academic excellence in the region. He also served Nigeria and Africa meritoriously as a Vice-Chancellor in several universities, mentoring generations of scholars and leaders.

His legacy lives on in the halls of ABU in the standards he helped build, the minds he shaped, and the path he paved for education in Northern Nigeria.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. 🕯️📚

Defence Minister Resigns

Nigeria's defence minister, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, has resigned his appointment, with immediate effect.

In a letter dated December 1, sent to President Bola Tinubu, Abubakar said he was quitting on health grounds.

President Tinubu has accepted the resignation and thanked Abubakar for his services to the nation.

President Tinubu will likely inform the Senate of Badaru's successor later this week.

Badaru Abubakar, 63, was a two-term governor of Jigawa state from 2015 to 2023. He was appointed as a minister on August 21, 2023, by President Tinubu.

His resignation comes amid President Tinubu's declaration of a national security emergency, with plans to elaborate on its scope in due course.

BREAKING NEWS

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the recruitment of 30,000 additional police officers across the country.

The Federal Government is also working closely with state governments to upgrade police training institutions nationwide.

Once the recruitment portal is open, we will notify you on this platform.

Stay tuned!

BREAKING NEWS ⚠️

DISCLAIMER: FAKE CIRCULAR IN CIRCULATION

The attention of Umaru Musa Yar’adua University (UMYU) has been drawn to a doctored circular being circulated online, falsely claiming that the University has been closed. The perpetrators altered an official notice originally issued by the Abdullahi Fodio University of Science & Technology Aliero, Kebbi state and inserted the UMYU logo to mislead the public.

The University wishes to categorically state that the circular is FAKE, MISLEADING, and should be disregarded in its entirety.

UMYU has not announced any closure, and all academic and administrative activities continue as scheduled.

For the avoidance of doubt, UMYU disseminates information ONLY through its official channels, which include:
The University Website
The Office of the Vice-Chancellor
The office of the Registrar
The Information & Protocol Unit
The University’s verified social media platforms

Members of the public, staff, and students are advised to rely solely on these channels for authentic updates and to refrain from sharing unverified information.

Simple Summary of ASUU Strike Update (22 Nov 2025)

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) gave the Federal Government one month to fix the problems in universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
That deadline ends today (Saturday).

The NLC says it will now hold a meeting to decide what to do next. They promise to inform everyone after the meeting.

What Students Should Know

ASUU had earlier suspended its two-week warning strike on October 22, giving the government one month to meet their demands.

That one-month period ended yesterday (Friday).

NANS (student union) is begging the government to prevent another strike.

They say students have enjoyed stable school calendars since President Tinubu entered office and they don’t want that to be disrupted.

Main Issues ASUU Wants Government to Fix

1. Review of the 2009 ASUU–FG agreement

2. Payment of outstanding salaries

3. Payment of earned allowances

4. Release of university revitalisation funds

ASUU also warned that they may resume strike at any time if nothing improves.

What the Government Says

The Minister of Education insists the government has already met ASUU’s demands and is still negotiating.
He also says the President has ordered “no more strikes” in public universities.

Breaking news....

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) gave the Federal Government a one-month deadline to fix the problems in public universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

The deadline ends today, and the NLC says it will now meet and decide what action to take next.

They are unhappy because the government has only talked to ASUU, while other unions also have issues.

The NLC wants serious action, not just promises.

Meanwhile, NANS (students’ union) is begging the government to act fast so that a new strike can be avoided.

In short: If the government doesn’t fix the problems fast, another strike may start soon in Nigerian universities.
