 Renowned 20th-century philosopher Jürgen Habermas dies at 96 Jürgen Habermas, the German philosopher widely recognized for his contributions to modern political thought and democratic theory, died Saturday in Starnberg, Germany, at the age of 96. His passing was confirmed in a statement by his Berlin-based publisher, Suhrkamp Verlag, which noted that Habermas’s work, translated into more than 40 languages, had left a lasting impact on global intellectual discourse.

ASUU strike: Money Spent On Politics Can Meet Lecturers’ Demands – Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has suggested a way to end the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

ASUU had been on strike since February 2022 over the Federal Government’s inability to meet a 2019 agreement.

The Federal Government had refused to allow ASUU to use their own generated payment platform, University Transparency Accountability Solution, UTAS, among other demands.

Amid the prolonged strike, President Muhammadu Buhari had urged ASUU to call off its industrial action.

In a statement issued by his spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, Buhari had said “truly, enough is enough” for keeping Nigerian students at home.

Reacting, Sani tweeted: “If you can calculate what is spent on politics, you will realise that this country can easily afford to meet the financial demands of ASUU with regards to our public university system.”
