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. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

 Pay Workers Living Wages, Prof. Onyire Begs Government 


By Chiedu Uche Okoye 


Prof. Nnamdi Benson Onyire of the Faculty of Clinical Medicine, Alex Ekwueme Federal University/Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, has  begged the Nigerian political leaders, who lead people at different governmental strata, to start paying workers living wages, which can take care of their sundry needs.


He made the call on the occasion of the workers commemoration of the workers' day, which took place on May 1, 2026 in the states of the federation.


He, also, suggested that government should subsidize the workers' healthcare treatment, transport fare, their children's education, and others. 


"Governments should ensure that the governments-workers' relationship is beneficial to workers by ensuring that workers are paid living wages, as and when due.


"They should, also, provide free or subsidized housing, healthcare treatment, and transport fares for workers. And our children's education should be free or subsidized," Onyire said.


More so,  Onyire advised the workers to be good citizens of Nigeria, who abide by the civil service rules in order to avoid being punished.


Again, a primary school teacher at Obosi Central School, Mrs. Bernard Ukamaka, begged the Anambra State Government to increase their salaries as they spend a great deal of money to commute to and fro schools on work days. 


And, Mr. Jeff. Agbodo, a journalist, who works for Vanguard newspaper, said that it is necessary for the states to implement a harmonized and correct minimum wage template.


He made the comment against the background of our country's worsening economic situation, which has plunged millions of Nigerians below the breadline.


Further more, companies and individuals, who have employees, should, also, pay them living wages in order for them to live decent lives. 


And political leaders who lead people at different governmental levels should not treat civil and public servants in a cavalier manner since it is civil servants that formulate government policies, and implement them.
