 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 ...

 Bureau Calls for Collaboration from States, Private Sector in Strengthening Anti-Corruption Efforts

The Bureau of Public Service Reforms has urged state governments and the private sector to play a proactive role in enhancing Nigeria’s fight against corruption.

This call was made during a validation workshop on the Implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (NACS), which took place on Monday in Abuja.


In his opening address, the Director-General of the Bureau, Mr. Dasuki Arabi, emphasized the importance of collaboration among multiple stakeholders for the effective implementation of the NACS.


Arabi acknowledged the contributions of various groups, including the Federal Government, Anti-Corruption Agencies, Civil Society Organizations, and international partners, in supporting the ongoing battle against corruption.


According to a statement from Aliyu Umar, the Bureau's Head of Strategic Communications, the workshop aimed to assess the progress of the anti-corruption strategy, while also exploring ways to enhance its impact on governance and public service delivery.


"The success of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy hinges on the collective involvement of all sectors, including state governments and the private sector. We must work together to strengthen institutions, enhance transparency, and foster accountability across all levels of governance," Arabi said.


The Director-General further highlighted that the Bureau, in partnership with a private consultant, had conducted a research survey to evaluate the strategy’s effectiveness and offer actionable recommendations for further strengthening anti-corruption measures across Nigeria.


Arabi reaffirmed the Bureau’s commitment to building capacity at both federal and state levels. He noted that, through its governance reform initiatives, the Bureau is working closely with state governments to replicate successful reforms from the federal level, particularly in areas such as public financial management and the implementation of the National Ethics and Integrity Policy.


The Director-General also underscored the critical role of the private sector in ensuring the success of anti-corruption initiatives. He called for increased collaboration with businesses to promote a culture of integrity and transparency within both public and private institutions.


Arabi urged all workshop participants to engage actively, share their perspectives, and collaborate towards strengthening Nigeria’s anti-corruption framework. He concluded by stressing that the ultimate success of the NACS would depend on the commitment of all stakeholders in addressing corruption, improving governance, and fostering sustainable economic growth.

  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...
