 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. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time. The results show that theft of phones (25,354,417) was the most common crime experienced by individuals, followed by consumer fraud (12,107,210) and assault (8,453,258). However, hijacking of cars (333,349) was the least crime experienced by individuals within the reference period.” It also noted that most phone theft cases occurred either at home or in a public place, and about 90 per cent of such cases were reported to the police.

 Japa: Canada student enrolment drops by 45 per cent


Universities Canada have raised the alarm over a significant drop in international student enrolment following the cap on student visas.

The Nation reported that foreign students recently protested in Canada, following plans by the authorities to deport them on account of a new policy on immigration.

The national cap, introduced in January by Immigration Minister Marc Miller, was initially aimed at reducing international student intake by 35% over the next two years.

The temporary measure was put in place to address concerns over housing, healthcare, and other services strained by the growing number of international students.

However, Gabriel Miller, president of Universities Canada, said there is a decline in international student admission.

He told Global News that initial projections suggest a dramatic 45% drop in international student enrolments once universities complete their tallies in October.

“There’s every possibility that it’s going to be even worse than we fear,” Miller said in an interview. “We’re already in uncharted territory, and this should be a wake-up call for Ottawa to take immediate action,” he stated. 

The government initially estimated that approximately 364,000 study permits would be approved in 2024 but this figure has since been revised to around 292,000.

The reduction is especially targeted at provinces experiencing the most significant growth in student numbers.

Universities Canada is worried about the long-term effects of the cap on enrolment and competitiveness. International students, according to Miller, are crucial not only for enhancing the educational experience but also for contributing financially to Canadian institutions and the broader economy.

“The cap’s collateral damage will hurt our ability to attract and retain talent in the future,” he added.

In response to these concerns, the immigration minister’s office noted that, while they have seen a reduction in approvals compared to 2023, it is still too early to assess the full impact.

The busiest period for study permit processing—August and September—has yet to be fully analyzed. 

The office added that more accurate data would be available once the final numbers for the fall 2024 and winter 2024 seasons are collected.

  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...
