    Sule Lamido University Staff Ready to Strike | Nigeria News

    Sule Lamido University’s academic staff are gearing up for a high-stakes standoff after rejecting the Jigawa State Government’s latest offer, setting a two-week strike deadline to force meaningful negotiations. Frustrated by unresolved issues — including a broken Integrated Payroll System, overdue promotion arrears dating back to 2024, and a disputed 2% local government funding contribution — the union is mobilizing a media team to rally public support and pressure stakeholders for intervention before classes grind to a halt. While the government did approve the Earned Academic Allowance for 2024-25, the union insists that’s not enough to bridge the gap.

    Nigeria’s Grain Price Floor Launched | Nigeria News

    Nigeria’s government just dropped a major lifeline for farmers with the Renewed Hope Guaranteed Minimum Price Programme — pledging 350,000 Naira per tonne for maize, sorghum, and soybeans to protect over 11.5 million households from plummeting grain prices. Managed by the Bank of Agriculture, the initiative will buy half a million tonnes, paying farmers directly via bank accounts through aggregation companies — no political favors needed. Partnering with the Nigeria Commodity Exchange, it’ll store grains and even release them to prevent runaway price spikes, all while using tech to track every grain from farm to market. This isn’t just relief — it’s a bold step toward food security and fair returns for Nigerian farmers who’ve long demanded this kind of support.

    Fix the Supply, Not Just the Subsidy | Nigeria News

    Nigeria’s Social Democratic Party presidential candidate Adewole Adebayo blasts the government for removing fuel subsidies without first securing control over fuel supply, calling it a doomed strategy. He argues that subsidies are just financial tools — not fuel itself — and without managing the actual flow of fuel into the system, any subsidy policy will fail. Comparing it to managing money without knowing your income, Adebayo insists the core issue is supply chain stability, not price manipulation. His critique adds urgency to the national debate as Nigerians grapple with rising pump prices and question whether the administration’s swift move was wise or reckless.
