 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to combat extremism, terrorism and other harmful phenomena and will continue to provide assistance to the current government," said Peskov, AFP reported.

 ASUU suspends two-weeks warning strike


The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced the suspension of its two-week warning strike, which began on October 13, 2025.


The union said the suspension of the warning strike, which was due to expire next Monday, October 27, followed renewed commitments from the Federal Government to address key issues raised by the union.


ASUU had embarked on the industrial action after the expiration of an earlier 14-day ultimatum issued to the government, citing what it described as “persistent neglect and insincerity” in resolving long-standing demands contained in the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement.


The demands include the payment of withheld salaries, promotion arrears, earned academic allowances (EAA), release of third-party deductions, and revitalisation funding for public universities.


Addressing a press conference in Abuja this morning October 22, the National President of ASUU, Professor Chris Piwuna, said the strike was suspended at the union’s executive meeting that ended in the early hours of Wednesday.


He said there would have been no warning strike at all if the government had been sincere with the negotiation from the onset.


He commended the intervention of the Senate, which made it possible for the union to consider the suspension of the strike action.


“NEC resolved that the warning strike is hereby suspended with immediate effect. Should the government fail to address the issues within one month, ASUU reserves the right to return to its initial decision,” Piwuna said
