NANS Warns Against ‘Name-Dropping’ of Governor in Ogun JCC Election, Declares SA Adeyemi Persona Non Grata

Image
Concerned stakeholders in the National Association of Nigerian Students, Ogun State Joint Campus Committee, has become aware of troubling developments suggesting undue interference in its forthcoming election process. As an independent student body, NANS remains committed to democratic principles, transparency, and the collective will of students across campuses in Ogun State. However, recent indicators point to attempts by the Special Assistant to the Ogun State Governor on Students’ Affairs, Adeyemi Azeez Amoo, to influence the electoral process in ways that could undermine its credibility and integrity. Reports reaching stakeholders within the student community indicate that there are moves to improperly invoke the name and authority of the Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to sway outcomes and intimidate participants. Such actions, if allowed to persist, risk creating unnecessary tension among students and could disrupt the peaceful conduct of the election. It is important to stress that the...

Ogun East: Between Gbenga Daniel And Dapo Abiodun

Image
By Seyi Bakare THIS week, political watchers paid keen attention as the senator representing Ogun East in the National Assembly, Chief Gbenga Daniel, purchased nomination forms at the national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja. Said the senator: “Today, I picked up my nomination and expression of interest forms as I seek to return to the Nigerian Senate, continuing my efforts to provide effective and responsive representation for the people of Ogun East Senatorial District under the platform of the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections." This was because, only a few days earlier, party leaders and key stakeholders in Ogun East Senatorial District, the district that Daniel currently represents in the Red Chamber, had openly and enthusiastically endorsed the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, for the same position, and the ruling party's law allows state chapters to adopt such a consensus arrangement if they so wish.

I Can Solve Nigeria’s Problems, Says Presidential Aspirant, Osifo ...Insists Tinubu Didn't Give Him Money To Purchase Forms

Image
A presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Stanley Osifo, has declared that he possesses the capacity to solve Nigeria’s numerous challenges and urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to give him an opportunity. Osifo, an indigene of Edo State, said that he had already purchased the APC presidential expression of interest and nomination forms worth N100 million ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking in an interview on Friday, Osifo dismissed claims that Tinubu financed the purchase of the forms. “Some people said President Bola Tinubu gave me money to buy the nomination and expression of interest forms. Tinubu has never given me any money before. “He has never given me any kobo, penny, or pence. I bought branded vehicles to support his presidential ambition in 2023. I mobilised people with my resources to support him then,” he said. Osifo added that he is prepared to participate in whichever mode of primary election the APC adopts. “Let us go f...

Educating Nigeria, One Community At A Time: Inside Union Bank Of Nigeria's Approach To Corporate Responsibility

Image
Nigeria's economic ambitions, whether higher productivity, a more competitive private sector, or stronger household resilience, all eventually run through the same bottleneck: the quality of the country's human capital. For a bank, that fact carries a quiet implication. The customers, entrepreneurs, and employees of the next two decades are sitting in classrooms today, and many of those classrooms are under-resourced. It is in that context that Union Bank of Nigeria has built its corporate social responsibility agenda around one of its major pillars – education. The thinking is not that a bank can fix Nigerian education, but that a bank has both the reach and the long-term interest to contribute meaningfully to it. THE SCOPE OF THE WORK Union Bank's education work runs through Edu360, a platform that gathers the Bank's various school, teacher, and youth interventions under one roof. Three threads run through it. The first is teacher development, anchored by the Bank...
