The Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, has called on President Bola Tinubu to declare state of emergency on security.
National President of the union, Comrade Audu Amba, made the call on Monday in Abuja at the NUT 6th Annual Solemn Assembly
Amba said Nigeria in recent times had recorded unprecedented security challenges and government must take decisive action to address them.
“It is, therefore, my humble plea that the federal government declare a state of emergency as far as the security situation did not improve.
“Government at all levels should do the needful since security is everybody’s business.
“Nothing can be achieved with insecurity in the country. So, it is imperative to move all stumbling blocks that are bedeviling the security architecture of the country.
“It is our hope that Federal, State, Local Government and all stakeholders in education should join hands to protect our schools and the education workers in Nigeria,” he said.
On teachers’ welfare, Amba asked for constitutional amendment on the funding of primary and secondary education to be on the first line charge in the revenue allocation in the country.
“It is our belief that when enacted into law, it will go a long way to address the issue of irregular salary payment of teachers across the states.
“Teachers’ professional salary structure that is supposed to have been implemented in the year 2023, has not been accommodated in the budget as such we will continue to push for its implementation,” he said.
The NUT president emphasised the need for a uniform scheme of service for all teachers adding that the union would ensure its actualisation.
He urged the government to implement an acceptable and sustainable minimum wage for workers and Nigerian teachers.
Comedian, AYo Makun, professionally known as AY, has spoken about the late Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo’s final moments.
Recall that Alex Ekubo died in Lagos hospital on Monday, May 11 2026, after a long battle with cancer.
Alex, who was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer in 2024, underwent a transplant.
In 2026, the liver failed again, and he died from complications hours after being placed on life support.
Speaking about Alex’s final moments in an Instagram post, Comedian AY, who was present at the hospital, revealed that Alex was smiling when he breathed his last breath.
“Some losses do not feel real no matter how many times you try to process them. Still struggling with the reality that you are gone, Alex.
From the laughter to the conversations, the random moments, the brotherhood, and all the memories we shared in this industry. This one hurts deeply.
“I was there. I saw you still smiling even in death. I saw the tears from friends and family. And honestly, a part of me is still in shock. Rest well my brother. You will be remembered beyond the lights, the cameras, and the fame”, AY wrote.
Also, Alex Ekubo’s friend, Godwin Nnadiekwe, revealed that Alex prepared his will before his death.
Godwin wrote on his Instagram story “Alex Ekubo. To think you already prepared your will, It’s a heartbreak I can’t quite describe. Rest well, my friend.”
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has sentenced former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years in prison for stealing public funds totalling about N33.8 billion.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, brought the case before the court.
Mamman was accused of money laundering and conspiracy involving funds meant for the Zungeru and Mambilla hydroelectric power projects.
The ruling marks a major escalation from the earlier stage, where the court only dismissed his no-case submission and ordered him to open his defence.
