 Magashi pledges MOD’s support to National Defence Collage

The Minister of Defence, Major Gen Bashir Salihi Magashi (Rtd), has assured the National Defence College of the Ministry’s necessary support in accomplishing all programmes geared towards enhancing national security and stability in Nigeria and the West African sub-region.

Speaking in Abuja, at the security seminar organized by the National Defence College, the Minister stated that the theme ‘Emerging security threats in West Africa: Implications for regional security and stability’ which is in line with the College mandate was timely.

Gen. Magashi who was the special guest of honour, remarked that security remains key to the growth and development of any nation, noting that “a combination of factors such as youth bulge and rising unemployment as well as upsurge in terrorism, has created security challenges which has undermined national and regional stability”.

“For us in Nigeria, security remains a major pillar of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. This explains why issues of national security are accorded topmost priority, as it remains a major prerequisite for national development”, he added.

The Minister explained that threats from violence extremists groups, ethnic militias, organized criminal groups, armed secessionists groups and other violent non–state actors have made it imperative that security agencies develop a deliberate and coherent strategic approach to surmounting these challenges.

He further said that seminars of this nature have become necessary to interrogate the nature and dynamics of security threats in West Africa, focusing on emerging threats and the resurgence of military coups that have threatened the region’s relative stability.

In his remarks, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Leo Irabor expressed optimism that the security seminar would outline measures to counter the negative trends occasioned by political instability, violent extremism and other security breaches within Nigeria and the sub region.

Earlier in his welcome address, the Commandant, National Defence College, Rear Admiral MM Bashir assured that the outcome of the deliberations would be transmitted to appropriate authorities for consideration to ensure stability in West African Sub- Region.

  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 unions
