 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 ...

 Kalu: Abia Airport: Tinubu Committed to South-East Development 


Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is deliberately focusing on the development of the Southeast, especially Abia State.


Kalu shared this insight during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Abia airport in Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area of Abia State on Tuesday.


Expressing his gratitude to the President for approving the project, Kalu also highlighted the Southeast Development Commission (SEDC) as another significant initiative that reflects President Tinubu's commitment to the region.


In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu, Kalu assured Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, of the Parliament’s support in ensuring the swift completion of the airport project through adequate budgetary allocations.


Kalu, who represents Bende’s federal constituency, played a key role in securing the project. He facilitated the delivery of the project letter from federal authorities to the Governor, ensuring his support for the crucial infrastructure.


He emphasized, “I want to assure you that the President we have today is focused and intentional about the development of the Southeast. He is committed to the region. We thank Mr. President for prioritizing Abia State. When the letter arrived, I immediately contacted Hon. Ginger and asked him to take it directly to Governor Otti. We will continue to seek ways to advance Abia State’s development.”


Kalu further assured Governor Otti, "We will work with you to complete any projects initiated in collaboration with you. Let’s all come together to build Abia."

  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.
