Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning.

 Shehu Sani Calls For Change Of LG ‘Chairman’ Title to ‘Mayor’


Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has appealed to the Federal Government and other relevant authorities to replace the designation of Local Government “Chairman” with the title “Mayor.”


Sani, in a Facebook post on Sunday, argued that the term “Chairman” is more suited to a committee role than an executive office, stressing that it diminishes the importance of local governments as the country’s third tier of governance.


“The title of Local Government ‘Chairman’ should be changed to ‘Mayor.’ The current nomenclature doesn’t capture the executive nature of the position and makes little sense,” he wrote.


According to him, adopting the title “Mayor,” as practised in many democracies, would elevate the dignity of the office and bring Nigeria’s local government system closer to international standards.


His call comes amid renewed debates across the country over local government autonomy, funding, and effectiveness.


The outspoken former senator, well known for his critical views on governance and reform, maintained that titles are not just semantics but influence how public offices are perceived and respected.
