EU LEADERS CONVENE IN BRUSSELS, WILL DISCUSS PLACEMENTS FOR TOP JOBS IN BLOC. (PHOTO).

 EU leaders convene in Brussels, will discuss placements for top jobs in bloc


European Union leaders will debate policy goals for the next five years from defense to the economy, and who to place in top EU jobs, when they convene in Brussels on Monday.


The informal meeting will be the first leaders gathering since the European Parliament election, which proved good for the center-right and right-wing nationalists, but humiliating for French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.


The leaders are to discuss who should be the next presidents of the European Commission and European Council, and the foreign policy chief, but their minds seem already made up.


Germany's Ursula von der Leyen is in prime position to secure a second term as head of the EU executive, buoyed by gains for her center-right European People's Party.


Thirteen of the 27 EU leaders are from parties belonging to the EPP. With French and German support too, she would have the qualified majority she requires to be nominated.


France had previously weighed alternatives to von der Leyen, but with a snap parliamentary election called by Macron from June 30, the government now prefers EU stability.


Former Portugal Prime Minister António Costa is set to become the next president of the European Council, which would see the socialist chair summits from December.


Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, a liberal, is then in line to be nominated high representative for foreign affairs, ensuring a balanced geographical and political spread of jobs across the bloc.


The leaders' are due to confirm their choices at an EU summit on June 27-28. Von der Leyen would still then need backing from the European Parliament, which votes in its first session from July 16.


The full 27-member Commission, including the foreign policy chief, also needs parliamentary support.


EU leaders are also expected to discuss the next five-year legislative cycle, with a stress on common values, defense and economic competitiveness. They are due to confirm their "strategic agenda" guidance at the end-June summit.


The leaders should shortly have a report by Mario Draghi, former Italian premier and president of the European Central Bank, on boosting the EU's economic prospects. In a speech on Friday, he said the bloc needed cheaper energy and a capital markets union to steer private savings towards investment.

  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...
