 Niger requests replacement of EU ambassador amid aid row


Niger said it could no longer work with the European Union's ambassador and had requested a replacement "as soon as possible" after the bloc recalled its envoy over a row surrounding the disbursement of emergency aid, AFP reported.


Niger's military rulers on Friday accused EU ambassador Salvador Pinto da Franca of distributing 1.3 million euros ($1.36 million) in aid for flood victims to non-governmental organisations without first informing the authorities.


The EU expressed its "profound disagreement" with the accusations on Saturday and recalled its ambassador for consultations in Brussels.


Niger's foreign ministry fired back Sunday, saying it had warned da Franca in October over "unauthorized operations" it claimed had nonetheless continued.


"In view of this stubbornness... the Government has come to the conclusion that collaboration with the European Union Ambassador, Mr Salvador Pinto da Franca, is no longer possible, and has therefore officially requested his recall and replacement as soon as possible," the statement said.


Torrential rains have caused devastating floods in the Sahel country, killing more than 300 people and displacing more than 1.1 million since June.


But the ministry said it had never appealed to the EU for help, claiming Niger would "cover the damage caused by the floods from its own funds".


Since taking power in a coup in July 2023, the country's military rulers have turned their backs on former colonial ruler France and grown increasingly frosty towards the European Union.

  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
