 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

 Awele Elumelu advocates for women, youth inclusion in Africa’s insurance sector


Awele Elumelu, chairperson of Avon Medical Practice Limited, has called for greater inclusion of women and youths in Africa’s insurance industry.

Elumelu, also a founding trustee of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, spoke on Tuesday at the international women conference organised by the African Insurance Women Association (AIWA) in Lagos.

She said there is an urgent need to bring more women into the insurance sector as they offer fresh perspectives critical for developing inclusive solutions.

“Women bring fresh perspectives and empathy, and these are essential for designing inclusive, people-centred solutions,” Elumelu said.

“Low insurance penetration of the African insurance industry, currently below three per cent, is a significant growth opportunity.

“With our young, tech-savvy population, we have a unique chance to build products that truly resonate with Africans.

“Especially through mobile technology, which can help reach underserved communities and foster financial literacy among younger generations.”

Elumelu called for stronger public-private partnerships to increase regulatory innovation and enhance customer trust.

She said a collaborative approach between industry players, regulators, and local communities will set the stage for a resilient and inclusive insurance sector that can drive economic growth across Africa.

Speaking about the event in a social media post on Wednesday, Elumelu said it is always inspiring to see women uplift one another, creating avenues for mentorship and support networks.

On her part, Margaret Moore, president of AIWA, said the conference has brought African women in insurance together to empower and inspire themselves.

  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
