 Oyo, FCT, Anambra stampede deaths show gravity of economic distress in Nigeria — Ezekwesili


Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has said that the recent stampedes in Ibadan, Okija, and Abuja signalled the gravity and scale of economic distress in the country.


Ezekwesili maintained that “Nigerians have become victims of widespread food poverty, especially among low and peripheral middle-income families.”


The statement comes after no fewer than 20 residents of Okija community in Anambra State lost their lives in a stampede.


The stampede occurred on Saturday during an event for the distribution of rice.


On the same day, an unspecified number of people died following a stampede in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.


The unfortunate incident occurred when one of the Catholic churches in the FCT was distributing food items to vulnerable persons.


Over 35 people, mostly children, died during a stampede at a carnival in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, a few days ago.


Ezekwesili, in a post on her X handle on Saturday, said: “The serial losses of several children who went in search of free food should send the strongest message yet to all self-indulgent ‘leaders’ in Nigeria’s public offices.


“My heart cries out for the families of the victims of the three stampedes that occurred during charity food distribution events in Ibadan, Okija in Anambra State, and Abuja.


“Nothing in recent times has signalled the gravity and scale of economic distress in our land more than these similar tragedies in a season of celebration.


“The fact that some like to deny is that Nigerians have become victims of widespread food poverty, especially among our low and peripheral middle-income families.


“I feel sad for the well-intended organizers of the three programs across the country who grossly underestimated the scale of beneficiaries that would show up in this season of famine in our land. And then, of course, our weak emergency response system that has often failed to mitigate tragedies.


“These serial losses of several of our children who went in search of free food should send the strongest message yet to all self-indulgent ‘leaders’ in Nigeria’s public offices. But will they hear?”

  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...
