 North Korea fired several ballistic missiles into the sea Monday, South Korea’s military said, hours after South Korean and U.S. troops kicked off their large annual combined drills, which the North views as an invasion rehearsal.  South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile firings, North Korea’s fifth missile launch event this year, were detected from the North’s Hwanghae province but gave no further details such as how far they flew.  Earlier Monday, the South Korean and U.S. militaries began their annual joint military exercises, which are scheduled to last 11 days. The Freedom Shield command post exercise began after the South Korean and U.S. militaries paused live-fire training while Seoul investigates how two of its fighter jets mistakenly bombed a civilian area during a warm-up drill last week.  The drills' start drew the condemnation of nuclear-armed North Korea, which issued a government statement calling the exercises a “dangerous provocative act...

Staff Unions threaten To Shutdown Nubapoly Over Insecurity, Others


Academic and Non-academic staff Unions of Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic Zaria, Kaduna state have threatened to withdraw services over the planned withdrawal of military and other security personnel guarding the college.


The Chairman, Academic Staff Union of the Polytechnics (ASUP) Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic Chapter Mr Usman Shehu Sulaiman, disclosed this during a joint press conference by the unions on Saturday in Zaria.


Sulaiman said the aim was to inform the state government, parents and stakeholders about the security and other challenges hindering academic research, learning and other goals of the institution.


He said on June 11, 2021 academic staff, their families and students were abducted at the school, and this forced the state government to replace the school’s security guards with military personnel and some members of Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KadVS).


 According to him, the military and KadVS personnel at the college are planning to leave over non-payment of their four months allowances.


``The withdrawal of service by the military at the school would put everybody at risk of abduction and other criminal acts. There are informers who will leak this development,’’ the Chairman explained. 


He added that the monthly overhead from the state government was not paid since February which makes so many challenges surfaces at the school.


Usman Shehu Suleiman said the non-payment of the overhead forced the school to delay exams and results presentations, provide identity cards to students and weed control exercises among others.


The union leader noted that the school was on its 13th week of resumption, and supposed to commence examinations but currently there was no booklet for such examinations.


``We will issue a one-week ultimatum to the government to address payment of the backlog of allowances to the security; if there was no favorable response, we would proceed on strike.


``We would ask our members residing at the staff quarters to find alternative accommodation; advise the staff residing off campus to desist from coming to the institution.


``Students would also be advised to remain at home as there will be no guarantee on their safety,’’ he said.


Corroborating, Malam Mahmud Aliyu-Kwarbai, Chairman Non-academic Staff Union of the school said staff members live in constant fear of security breach.


``We don’t have functional security in the school, our security was withdrawn and replaced by security personnel from Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KadVS).


``The KadVS personnel attached to the school had left their beat because of the non-payment of their allowances, which lead to serious theft and vandalism of school properties.


``There was an instance where thieves cut the armored cable of the school transformer in the afternoon at the annex campus of the college due to the withdrawal of services by the KadVS personnel of the college,’’ Kwarbai said.


He added that the Single Treasury Account (TSA) policy of the government has jeopardize the smooth running of the institution as the college received an overhead once since Jan.2023


School’s public relations officer, Malam Abdullahi Shehu confirmed the development to newsmen adding that the school management was working toward addressing the identified challenges.


However, Shehu said the Rector, Dr. Mohammed-Kabir Abdullahi has secured payment of the allowances to the military personnel at the school.
