Tinubu's Administration: A Government Out of Touch with Reality

By Sule Sani Sule

As I listened to President Tinubu's recent broadcast, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dismay and disillusionment. It's clear that he is oblivious to the current state of affairs in Nigeria. His assertion that the ongoing protests are politically motivated is not only inaccurate but also insensitive to the plight of the Nigerian people.

As a political scientist, I acknowledge that politics may play a role in the protests, but to downplay the genuine hardships faced by Nigerians is a gross misrepresentation of reality. The suffering is real, and the people's frustration is justifiable. The administration's reliance on power and coercion to quell the protests will only exacerbate the situation, as Nigerians are willing to risk everything to demand change.

The government's failure to address the pressing issues affecting Nigerians is appalling. The removal of subsidies, increased education costs, soaring inflation, and closed borders have crippled the economy and pushed citizens to the brink. It's time for the administration to listen to the people's demands:

1. Reinstate subsidies to alleviate the economic burden on Nigerians.

2. Reduce education costs to make it accessible to all.

3. Implement policies to control inflation and stabilize the economy.

4. Open borders to facilitate trade and support local farmers.

If the government fails to respond to these demands, it will be complicit in the suffering and potential demise of its citizens. The people will not be silenced, and their voices will only grow louder until their demands are met.

It's time for President Tinubu and his administration to acknowledge the reality of Nigeria's situation and take concrete steps to address the people's grievances. The clock is ticking, and the fate of the nation hangs in the balance.

Aisha Garba’s Bold Vision for Transforming Basic Education in Nigeria

By Suhaib Auwal In a country where the foundational pillars of education have long been riddled with structural gaps, funding constraints, and policy inconsistencies, the recent leadership at the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) signals a renewed hope. Since her appointment as the Executive Secretary of UBEC, Aisha Garba has embarked on a reformist mission that seeks not just to address the surface-level symptoms, but to cure the systemic ailments crippling Nigeria’s basic education sector. At the core of her vision is a comprehensive, inclusive, and technology-driven approach to strengthening basic education delivery. Her leadership style is not only proactive, but it also reflects a deep understanding of Nigeria's complex educational terrain. With over 17 million children currently out of school, Garba has made it unequivocally clear: this figure is unacceptable, and she intends to drastically reduce it within the shortest possible time.

DISRESPECTING COURT ORDER REGARDING KANO EMIRATE CRISIS

By Dr. Usman Suleiman Sarki Law and order are the bedrock of harmonious living in every human society. This necessitated the establishment of judicial system responsible for the enforcement of law and order as well as the settlement of disputes between parties. One most important organ of the judiciary is the Court that determines cases brought before it using appropriate legal procedures. In an effort to ensure the proper discharge of its duties, the court gives order(s) to individuals, group, organizations/institutions and state mandating them to refrain or undertake an action before or after judgement. In line with the above, a federal high court sitting in Kano received a petition seeking for its intervention on matters relating Kano Emirate Crisis as the state House of Assembly passed a bill for the dissolution of the Five Emirates in the state where the court gives an order restraining the Kano state Governor from assenting a bill into and implementing the...
