 Mali renames colonial French street names Mali followed Burkina Faso and Niger on Wednesday in renaming streets and squares in its capital to get rid of their French colonial names, AFP reported. Streets bearing the names of members of France's colonial administration have been rebaptised in Bamako, according to a decree by the junta chief. Cedeao Avenue (the French acronym for the Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS) is also now named after a new strategic confederation that Mali has formed with Burkina Faso and Niger – the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In all, nearly 25 names have been replaced, among them boulevards, streets, squares and public establishments. Niger and Burkina Faso have already made several changes to street and monument names in the last two years. In October, Niger renamed several historic sites in its capital Niamey which previously bore references to old colonial master France. Mali has been ruled by the military since back-to-back coups ...

 NCPC EXECUTIVE SECRETARY ASSURES LAGOS PILGRIMS OF PERFORMING HOLY PILGRIMAGE THIS YEAR


The Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) has assured intending pilgrims from Lagos of performing the Holy Pilgrimage this year. This assurance was given by the Executive Secretary of NCPC, Bishop Stephen Adegbite during a courtesy visit to the Commission by the Members of the Lagos State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board led by the Chairman, Bishop Johnson Akinpelu.


Bishop Adegbite admonished the intending pilgrims to be patient with the Lagos Board and the Commission, bearing in mind that the interest of Lagos is protected as far as NCPC Pilgrimage Operation is concerned. 


He said Lagos would continue to remain fresh in his memory, having stayed there for over three decades, "Lagos is my success story, and I will continue to support the cause of Lagos." 


He urged the Board Members to continue to pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for God's wisdom to effectively pilot the affairs of Nigeria, and that Nigeria would surely get out of the woods in no too distant time.


In response, the Chairman, Lagos State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board, Bishop Johnson Akinpelu said they were grateful for the effective leadership qualities of Bishop Adegbite since his assumption of office as the Executive Secretary of NCPC on 5th February 2024. He prayed that the Lord would imbue him with wisdom to continue to lift the Commission to greater heights.


Bishop Akinpelu stressed the need to continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, which is an injunction from the Holy Bible. He expressed his optimism that peace would be restored in Israel soon and, by extension, the Middle East.


The Chairman disclosed that they were in NCPC to find out the state of things as regards this year's pilgrimage exercise given the mounting pressure from the intending pilgrims.


Other members of the visiting delegation include the Vice Chairman of the Board, Archbishop Prof Rufus Oguntuase, the Board Secretary, Mrs. Florence Gbafe, and other members of the Lagos State Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board.

  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...
