Arewa Youths Back Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan

From: Joshua Titus 

The Arewa Youths Advocate for Peace and Unity Initiative has thrown its weight behind Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, condemning the continuous harassment and intimidation she has been facing. In a statement signed by the National President, Sani Danaudi Mohammed, the group described the events unfolding between the Senator and the Senate President as unfortunate.

The group had earlier nominated Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan for an award as "Most Courageous Senator of the Year", recognizing her commitment to defending Nigerian democracy and her constituents' interests. This recognition appreciates her consistent and courageous stance in the Senate, advocating for her people's rights and welfare despite facing challenges.

According to Sani Danaudi Mohammed, the attempt to seize Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's passport while on her way to the UK further exacerbates the issue. He noted that the whole scenario has deprived her constituents of the dividends of democracy, yet despite her suspension, she has done more for her people than those in the Senate who are against her.

The Arewa Youths Advocate for Peace and Unity Initiative believes that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's suspension is a ploy to undermine her efforts and silence her voice in the Senate. The group, therefore, calls on the Senate President to respect the Senator's rights and allow her to continue serving her constituents without further harassment.

The group's statement was made available to newsmen in Yola during their midterm meeting held at Muna Hotels and Suits. The meeting, which discussed various issues affecting the nation, also deliberated on the Senator's situation and resolved to stand in solidarity with her.

The Arewa Youths Advocate for Peace and Unity Initiative commends Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan for her courageous stance in the Senate, despite facing numerous challenges. Her consistent advocacy for her people's rights and welfare has earned her respect and admiration, not just from her constituents but from Nigerians across the country.

The group expresses concern over the Senate President's actions, which seem to be aimed at undermining Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's efforts. They urge the Senate leadership to prioritize the welfare of Senators and ensure that all members are treated fairly and with respect.

The group congratulates Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan on her recognition and looks forward to seeing her continue to serve her constituents with dedication and commitment.

Prof. Yauta Under Fire: NANS Demands Reversal of Gombe University Fee Increment

National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued an ultimatum to Professor Sani Ahmad Yauta, Acting Vice Chancellor of Gombe State University, to reverse the recent tuition fee increment of over 120 percent within 78 hours. This directive was conveyed by Senator Mu'azu Hina, National Vice President External Affairs of NANS, during an interaction with journalists in Abuja. According to Senator Hina, the fee hike is ill-timed, considering the current economic challenges faced by Nigerian parents in providing for their children's needs. NANS has strongly condemned the increment, emphasizing that it would exacerbate the financial burden on students and their families. The association has vowed to relocate its secretariat to Gombe State University until the decision is reversed. The recent tuition fee increment has sparked widespread outrage among students, parents, and education stakeholders. Many have expressed concerns that the hike would lead to a decline in student e...

Image
From: John Faith  The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has condemned the alarming shortage of drugs at the Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH) Gombe, despite receiving 130 million Naira from the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA). This situation has caused immense suffering and hardship for the community, with patients unable to access essential medications. According to Mu'azu Hina, organising Secretary of the NYCN, the situation is "unfortunate and regrettable." He called for an urgent investigation into the matter, demanding accountability from FTH management, led by Dr. Yusuf M Abdullahi, to provide a detailed account of how the allocated funds were spent. The community deserves transparency regarding the management of their health resources and why drug availability hasn't improved. As Chief Medical Director, Dr. Yusuf is responsible for ensuring effective allocation of funds for pharmaceutical resources. However, unclear budget management...
