 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.

 Gov. Okpebholo Bids Farewell to Senate


Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, bid an emotional farewell to the Senate on Wednesday, reflecting on his brief but impactful tenure representing the Edo Central Senatorial District. In a heartfelt valedictory speech delivered on the Senate floor, Okpebholo expressed gratitude for the camaraderie he experienced during his year-long service.


“Distinguished colleagues, this is a very emotional moment for me,” Okpebholo began. “Since joining the 10th Senate in June 2023, every moment here has been incredibly memorable. We viewed ourselves as champions of democracy, striving for the best for our nation. Though my time in the Senate was brief, my journey has led me to pursue the dream of becoming governor, and today I stand as the Governor of Edo State.”


He acknowledged the immense support he received from his Senate colleagues, stating that his journey would not be complete without them. He particularly thanked Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, for his encouragement during his campaign, as well as Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin for his wise political counsel.


“I am deeply grateful to my Senate Majority Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, for being a true brother, and to all my fellow senators. The relationships built here in the chambers have been invaluable.”


Governor Okpebholo also shared that his time in the Senate influenced his governance approach, particularly in areas like infrastructure, security, education, and health. He expressed pride in the collective successes achieved during his time as a senator.


Okpebholo, who was elected as a first-time senator for Edo Central on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform, also served as the Senate Committee Chairman on Public Procurement before stepping down to assume the role of governor.

  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.
