 Minister Cautions Kwankwaso Against Contempt of Court in Kano Emirate Council Dispute Yusif Abdullahi Ata, the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, has warned Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the 2023 presidential candidate for the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), against making “contemptuous statements” regarding the ongoing legal dispute over the Kano Emirate Council. The minister urged Senator Kwankwaso to avoid remarks that could exacerbate divisions in the country or risk being seen as in contempt of court concerning the legal proceedings related to the Kano Emirate issue. Ata’s comments followed allegations made by Kwankwaso, who claimed there was external interference from Lagos in the selection of Kano’s Emir. Speaking at the convocation of Skylight University, Kwankwaso accused Lagos of trying to influence the process, stating, “Today, we can clearly see there is significant effort from the Lagos axis to polarize this part of the country... Lagos wouldn’t allow us to ch

 Netherlands considers sending migrants to Uganda


The Netherlands is looking at the possibility of sending rejected asylum seekers to Uganda, a Dutch media report said on Wednesday, as the country's far-right-led government moved to limit immigration.


Dutch Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Minister Reinette Klever was visiting the East African nation this week where she spoke to Ugandan ministers about migration, the NOS public broadcaster reported.


"In the end we want to curb migration," said Klever, who belongs to the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) of anti-immigration lawmaker Geert Wilders, AFP reported.


"It's important for the cabinet that rejected asylum seekers return to their country of origin. And that's where it sometimes stalls," she told the NOS.


"We have a long relationship with Uganda and it is a hospitable country," said Klever, adding that Asylum and Migration Minister Marjolein Faber would look into the issue.


Asked about the comments, a ministerial spokesperson told AFP that Klever "had briefly discussed a number of possibilities for reception" in the region including in Uganda.


"That plan is still in its early stages," Jeroen van Dommelen said in an email.


The Dutch cabinet "must first investigate what the wishes of Uganda and the Netherlands are and what legally is possible and desirable," he added.


Wilders's PVV scored a major victory in elections last year and the firebrand lawmaker has promised "the strictest migration policy ever" to tackle what he termed an "asylum crisis" in the Netherlands.


Last week EU countries discussed "innovative" ways to increase deportations of irregular migrants and rejected asylum seekers including controversial plans to set up dedicated return centres outside the bloc.

  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
