The cheering news was bro­ken on Wednesday in Abuja by the Managing Director of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), Mr. Uche Orji.

The affected lecturers on their part alleged that they are being victimized for exposing corruption in the institution. The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abdulganiyu Ambali while noting that the suspension was necessary distanced his office from the action. One of the affected lecturer, Afolayan noted that though the reason for their suspension was not known but believed it has to do with their blowing of whistle of alleged impunity and corruption in the institution. However, the Factional Vice Chairman of ASUU, Dr Bode Olumorin has called on the federal government to come to their aid, adding that since the government advised people to point out corrupt practices, they should not be abandoned.

Some years back again, Abudlkareem sang a song titled Nigeria Jagajaga, we all crucified him for referring to Nigeria as Jagajagacious nation. His lyrics incited widespread of hatred and provocation among Nigerians.. Some even thought that it was because of ethno political situation of the country then. It is disheartening to hear our musical icon 2face had cancelled his February 6th National protest. What could have been possible reason why he had to let this protest go? When ...
