 Western media twisting facts on Sudan war: minister The Sudanese information and culture minister accused Western media of twisting facts regarding the ongoing civil war in Sudan, accusing it of backing the Rapid Support Forces' narrative, Anadolu Agency reported. Sudan was plunged into conflict in April 2023 as longstanding tensions between the army and paramilitary RSF erupted into war. Since then, millions have had to flee their homes, thousands have been killed, and countless others are going hungry in the Northeast African country. Speaking to Anadolu, Khalid Alesir said the Western media accuses the Sudanese army of bombing the civilians, describing these accusations as "unjustified." 'Sudanese army does not target civilians' "Ask the Sudanese people, do they think that the army targets them... the answer will be the Sudanese army does not target the civilians," Aleisir said.

      VIRTUAL INAUGURATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE FOR POST-COVID-19 INITIATIVES COMMITTEE ON THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY BY THE HON. MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED, ON TUESDAY 18 AUG. 2020.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

2. We are here today for the virtual inauguration of the Implementation Committee for the Post-Covid-19 Initiatives Committee on the Creative Industry. Recall that on July 3rd 2020, the Post-Covid-19 Initiatives Committee submitted its report to me.

3. On that occasion, I did promise that we will study the report with the same seriousness that the committee employed in preparing it, with a view to ensuring its full implementation. We have indeed studied the report, and I can tell you that it is nothing short of phenomenal! The Committee went beyond the call of duty to do a complete mapping of the Creative Industry, like it has never been done before. We remain grateful to all the members for their diligence and patriotism.

4. In order to ensure a diligent implementation of the report, we have assembled a five-member Implementation Committee, which is being inaugurated today. The members are:

a). Otunba Segun Runsewe (Chairman)

b). Ali Baba (Deputy Chairman)
c). Anita Eboigbe
d). Baba Agba
e). Joe Mutah (Secretary)

5. The Terms of Reference of the Implementation Committee are:
- Design an implementation plan on immediate and short-term relief for the Creative Industry in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic (Short Term)
- Design a Policy Framework for Tax Relief for the various sectors in the Creative Industry, if it is identified as one of the measures aimed at achieving immediate and short-term relief for the Industry
- Work out a detailed implementation plan for a long-term intervention for the overall development of the Creative industry in Nigeria (long term)

6. The committee has six weeks to submit its report. In view of the enormity of the work involved, I will not be surprised if this committee seeks an extension of the duration of work. If that happens, I will not hesitate to grant such.

7. I have no doubt that this Implementation Committee will approach its assignment with a great sense of duty, realizing that the development and growth of the Creative Industry - which is the second biggest job creator after Agriculture - rest on their shoulders.

8. I thank you all for your kind attention.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
