 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review.

TOKYO OLYMPIC: OUR ATHLETES NOT BANNED FOR DRUGS-AFN.{PHOTOS}.

-

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has described as misleading the headline in some national dailies which described as a ban the ineligiblity of 10 Nigerian athletes to compete at the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics due to non-completion of their mandatory three out of competition test (OCT). 

                              

Adeniyi Beyioku, Secretary-General of the Federation said in a statement that the athletes have done nothing wrong as to be labelled 'banned', as the screaming headlines in some Nigerian dailies indicated. 

                              

'The attention of the Federation has been drawn to reports in some Nigerian newspapers that our athletes have been banned. This is far from the truth. The athletes were only declared ineligible to compete because they did not complete the three out-of-competition test that would have made them eligible for only the Tokyo Olympic Games.                                   


'While the Federation regrets the unfortunate incident, we however plead on behalf of the athletes, who have complained about the negative tag, that they are not banned from track and field as they have not violated any anti-doping rules.                                        


'The athletes are free to compete in the many track meetings that will hold  immediately after the Olympics across the globe and it will be inappropriate and unpatriotic to tag them as banned athletes.               


'The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) did not use the word ‘banned' in its press release naming 18 athletes from six countries who are ineligible to compete at this Olympics due to the OCT failure.                 Both the AIU and World Athletics usually, after all anti-doping procedures have been concluded, state the duration of the ban or suspension slammed on any violator of the antidoping rules.          


'In the case of our athletes, they have not contravened any anti-doping rule and should be tagged as one', said Beyioku who has just been recognised as the Secretary-General of the AFN by World Athletics.

  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...
