Nigerian Newspapers – 10 things you need to know this Tuesday morning

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Nigerian Newspapers 1. President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Nigeria from New York city in the US after making a stopover in London. The Presidential jet touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, Monday evening. 2. The Federal Government has insisted that it would not change its stance on the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the tagging of the association as a terror group. Special Adviser to the President on Prosecution, Okoi Obono-Obla, said rather than yield to international position, promoters and members of the pro-Biafra group would soon be charged by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), for allegedly operating illegally in violation of Section 54 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act. 3. Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar has insisted that the North is not prepared for restructuring. Atiku said restructuring was not just a northern issue, but a challenge of nationhood that cannot be swept under the carpet by any sincere Nigerian. 4. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will today, at the National Assembly, serve the Senator representing Kogi west senatorial district, Dino Melaye, the documents containing the notice of his recall process. This was following a Federal High Court’s recent judgment, which dismissed the suit Melaye filed, challenging the validity of a process by his constituents to recall him, and ordered the commission to proceed with the recall process. 5. A Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Umuahia, Abia State, on Monday remanded 60 members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) at the Afara Federal Prisons in Aba. The magistrate ordered that the I​POB members be remanded in prison after their counsel challenged the jurisdiction of the court to hear the matter. 6. The Management of the University of Ilorin has kicked against the recent branding of the institution as a ‘terrorist organisation’ by the chairman of the University of Ibadan chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Ayodeji Omole. The school authorities described the assertion as false and unfortunate, saying that the university had actively promoted the nation’s educational ideals and helped to foster peace and stability in the society, among other goals, since its foundation. 7. Four gunmen who operated in a black Toyota Sienna on Monday caused a commotion at the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, when they opened fire during the installation of four baales by the Olubadan at the palace. Jouirnalists, chieftain of the Labour Party, Sharafadeen Alli, who was a former Secretary to the Oyo State Government, were among the people who escaped death while the shooting lasted. 8. The Edo State Police Commissioner, Haliru Gwandu, has identified those responsible for the murder of the three Police officers and the abduction of Dr. Osagie Ehanire at the Ogba Zoo. The CP, who gave this hint in Benin, the Edo State capital when he visited the Ogba Zoo, Airport Road in Oredo Local Government Area of the state, identified the attackers as militants. 9. The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said the federal government would spend the N100bn to be raised from the issuance of the Sukuk Bond for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of 25 arterial roads. He said the sum of N16.7bn would be allocated for each geo-political zone across the country. 10. Adamawa State House of Assembly effected a slight change in its leadership, yesterday, when Emmanuel Tsamdu replaced former deputy speaker, Sunday Peter. The House’s Information Office said a motion for Peter’s impeachment was moved by Muhammed Hayatu Atiku, member representing Uba Gaya Constituency, and endorsed by 17 members of the house.
