Tinubu Appoints New Service Chiefs

President Bola Tinubu has announced major changes in the leadership of the Armed Forces to further strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.

ASUU Suspends Two-Week Warning Strike, Gives FG One-Month Ultimatum

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has suspended its two-week warning strike following what it described as renewed engagement with the Federal Government.

ASUU President, Professor Christopher Piwuna, announced this at a press conference in Abuja after the union’s emergency National Executive Council meeting held between October 21 and 22.

He said negotiations with the government’s team, led by Yayale Ahmed, have commenced, and a follow-up meeting has been scheduled to conclude discussions on the renegotiated 2009 Agreement.

Professor Piwuna explained that while the objectives of the warning strike had not been fully met, significant progress had been made through the intervention of Senate committees and other stakeholders.

The union, however, gave the Federal Government a one-month window to resolve all outstanding issues, warning that failure to do so may lead to another strike without further notice.

Sowore Vows To Defy Court Order As Police Warn Against Protest

Human rights activist and 2023 AAC presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has vowed to go ahead with today's planned protest despite a court order restricting demonstrations around key government areas in Abuja.

The protest seeks the the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention since his 2021 extradition from Kenya.

In a post on his X handle on Sunday, Sowore said his team of 115 lawyers would challenge any order once served, insisting that the protest would hold as planned.

The Nigeria Police Force, had earlier warned all protest groups to comply with the subsisting court order issued by Justice M. Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja. The order restrains Sowore and others from holding protests within and around A*o Rock Villa, the National Assembly, Force Headquarters, Eagle Square, and Shehu Shagari Way.

However, Sowore accused the police of double standards, questioning why no similar restriction was placed on counter-protesters opposing Kanu’s release.

He added that, "There is no valid court order restricting the planned protest from A*o Rock Villa".

"The so-called order that the Nigeria Police Force claimed to have got has no legal effect because it was never served on the named defendants or organizers. Under Nigerian law, an ex parte order that is not served within the required timeframe expires automatically. In other words, there is nothing to defy no binding restriction, no valid injunction. The people’s constitutional right to peaceful assembly and protest remains intact and unstoppable.", he said.

ASUU Declares Nationwide Two-Week Warning Strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared a nationwide two-week warning strike across all public universities in Nigeria.

ASUU President, Professor Chris Piwuna, announced the strike on Sunday at the University of Abuja, saying the decision followed the expiration of the union’s 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government.

He said there had been no meaningful progress on the issues raised, and all university branches have been directed to withdraw services from midnight on Monday, October 13, 2025.

The Federal Government had earlier on Thursday appealed to the union to suspend its planned strike, assuring that efforts were ongoing to address their concerns.

Education Minister Tunji Alausa had said a reconstituted negotiation committee was already engaging academic and non-academic unions to prevent another disruption in the school calendar.

But ASUU dismissed the appeal as coming “too late,” accusing the government of neglecting the education sector and failing to conclude the 2009 agreement despite repeated promises.

INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu Hands Over to Acting Chair May Agbamuche

Professor Mahmood Yakubu has officially handed over leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to Acting National Chairman May Agbamuche.

Agbamuche, the oldest serving National Commissioner, will lead the electoral body until a substantive chairman is appointed and confirmed by the Senate.

Yakubu completes a historic two-term tenure of ten years as INEC chairman, having first been appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2015. He oversaw several major elections, including the 2019 and 2023 general polls.

During the handover, Yakubu urged all commissioners and directors to support Agbamuche as she assumes leadership of the commission.

The appointment of a new substantive INEC chairman by President Bola Tinubu is expected soon, following Senate confirmation.
