Update from

Kaduna State University (KASU) has so far received over N10 billion in total from the state government for the development of its permanent site.

The university authority revealed that it received and appreciated the TETFund for the N3 Billion Zonal Intervention granted the institution.

Remember that most of the structures being currently enjoyed by the university were those inherited from Ahmadu Bello University Teaching (ABUTH) which was relocated to Shika, Zaria during the administration of former governor of the state, Mohammed Ahmed Makarfi.

Speaking on Saturday during the 4th convocation ceremony of the university, the Vice Chancellor, Muhammad Tanko, expressed gratitude to Governor Nasir El-rufai for the approval of the development funds.

A total of 9,665 students graduated; 5,984 graduates from three sets; 3, 678 postgraduate students as well as three PhD students, Siggy gathers.

He said, "I remember we pleaded for a permanent site; today, I like to thank His Excellency for not only allocating the site, but also dedicating more than 10 Billion Naira for the development of the site.

In collaboration with the Kaduna Investment and Promotions Agency (KADIPA), we have developed Private Public Partnership (PPP) that resulted to the construction of 1,200 Bed-Space at the Main Campus, 500 Bed-Space at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital (BDTH) and a University Guest House at the last convocation.

We also appreciate our Senator Uba Sani for facilitating the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on the development of the Faculty of Engineering Complex. We also appreciate the TETFund for the N3 Billion Zonal Intervention received".

The Vice Chancellor congratulated Mallam Muhammadu Sanusi II, the 14th Emir of Kano for his successful installation as the Chancellor of the University.

Tanko also told Governor El-rufai that, "We have keyed into your vision of providing more than edged courses that will produce graduates that will be skilled and therefore self-employed. We achieved it by introducing courses like Biotechnology, Geophysics and Cyber Security.

We have also championed the development of benchmark for the National Universities Commission (NUC) in the area of Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

So far, we have secured various trainings for our staff that will enhance their capacity; amongst which are the University of California On-line Training and the MOOC versions of Bending the Curve, Louisiana State University on On-line Course Delivery, and many other trainings that will help to shape the capacities of the staff of the University.

I wish to acknowledge His Highness, the Chancellor of this University on the IBM training he facilitated for the staff of the University.

These trainings have yielded a lot of results because of our Research and Journal Funds with the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) which had not been accessed since the establishment of the university, but have now been utilised. Not only that, we have secured 2 NIRF Research fund, and many others".

Highlights of the occasion were the conferment of Honorary Doctorate degrees on some distinguished Nigerians of virtue, including the Minister of Finance, Hajia Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed and Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC, Mele Kolo Kyari.

Update from

The School Authorities of Abia State Polytechnic Aba, has directed all students of the institution to embark on a compulsory one week break from the 24th day of September, 2021, Siggy reports.

The directive came on the heels of security issues on campus arising from the conflicts between the students and men of the Rapid Response Squad attached to Nigeria Police division in Aba.

Recall, reported that men of the Nigeria Police Force attached to the Rapid Response Squad in Aba Division, Abia State, have been accused of raping a female student of the Abia Polytechnic in Aba.

Siggy gathered that the alleged incident sparked protests by students of the institution on Friday.

A statement signed by registrar of the Abia Polytechnic Aba, Dr. K. O Osonwa and made available to journalists on Friday, explained that the directive was part of measures to ensure proper investigations is carried out and concluded.

Meanwhile, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has condemned in a strong terms, the shooting by some police officers on thursday at the Abia State Polytechnic Aba during a protest by students of the institution.

The Abia Governor, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka on Friday, in Umuahia, advised the students to be disciplined and avoid taking the law into their hands even while protesting, adding that they must at all times, exercise restraint when confronted by police officers who are on lawful duty.

“Under no circumstances must students confront police officers who are engaged in their lawful duties. The Police has a responsibility under the law to ensure that peaceful protests by students are not hijacked by hoodlums whose intentions are different from the those of the students”.

The Abia Chief Executive further regretted that the act of the police officers was excessive, uncalled for and could aggravate an already tensed situation which could lead to collateral damages.

According to Ikpeazu, “Shooting at unarmed students who were protesting the alleged sexual assault of one of them by a police officer is against all known and recognized rules of engagement by law enforcement officers who could have employed other means other than deadly force to disperse the protesting students”.

He warned that while the State Government will not condone the use of excessive force by police officers, any student who, under the guise of a protest, chooses to unlawfully confront an armed police officer must be prepared to face the consequences

Ikpeazu noted that the State Government was already looking into the issues that led to yesterday’s protest which created a huge traffic jam along Aba Owerri Road, while insisting that the use of deadly force by the Police was completely unacceptable to the government and outrightly condemnable.

He, however, urged the State Police Commissioner and the Area Commander in charge of Aba to ensure that the officers who were involved in yesterday’s shooting are identified and disciplined in line with extant police regulations, while further ensuring that such display of disproportionate force doesn’t happen again.

LASPOTECH Student, Oghenetejiri Walter, who survived a fallen tanker accident in Lagos on Sunday, September 19, 2021 shares the thriling experience to .

When approached for an interview by Siggy correspondent, she said, "On that day, we were all coming from school – Lagos State Polytechnic – and going to a food joint in Surulere. I was telling my friends that I hadn’t eaten ofada rice before and that I hoped my first time would be a nice experience. I was asking them, “What does it taste like?” I had been asking that question out of curiosity even before we got into the cab. So, when we were in the cab, my friend was showing me pictures of ofada rice and other dishes they sell at the restaurant. I rested on her while checking the things on her phone.

The articulated vehicle was behind us, so we never expected such a thing to happen. But all of a sudden, as if it was hand-picked from somewhere, we just saw the container falling on our cab. It came to us unexpectedly, perhaps if the truck was beside us, we would have told our driver to drive faster and move away quickly. But there was nothing we could do about it, not even our driver could save us, we were all helpless. But thank God that I was not sitting upright because if I was, perhaps, I would have been seriously injured.

When you saw the container coming down on your vehicle, did you make any attempt to jump out of the vehicle?

Running out of a moving vehicle could have been too risky for us, we couldn’t do anything. And it happened too suddenly. It was like the container came out of the blue. The only thing we did was just to shout Jesus. We kept shouting Jesus! Jesus! till the container fell on our vehicle.

I sat on the left side of the vehicle behind the driver. It was so scary that I couldn’t do anything. I saw the way the thing (container) was coming down, and all I could do was tilt backwards, as if wanting to dodge the container from falling on me; it was just a reflex action though. While I was doing that I kept shouting Jesus till the container fell on the car and we heard the sound of the fall and the crumbling of the vehicle. It sounded like a nylon being squeezed or egg shells being crumbled.

When the container fell on us, we were all trapped. We kept shouting help! help us! We were alive. So, we heard people saying, “They are alive. Hold on! Help is on the way.” My friend, Motunrayo, was saying, “T.J, is this how we are going to die?” I told her not to worry, to hold on that we would not die; that we would be rescued, seeing that people were already trying to get us help.

Thankfully, we were able to breathe even while we were trapped. Although it was so dark under there, I was just touching my friends at first to know that they were alive. Nobody could recognise anybody. I was touching the drivers’ head, thinking it was my friend Austin’s head. It was when I was calling the name that the driver said he was the one. Then my friend responded. We could talk well at first. In fact, I could recall telling everyone not to move because the more we attempted to move, the more we would hurt our bones. I was resting on Motunrayo’s legs before the incident occurred, so she was trying to remove her leg. My neck was on her leg and as she was trying to remove her leg, I was choking.

Soon, it became difficult for us to breathe as air wasn’t really coming in. I remember telling others that we should open our mouths, so that air could come in. Later, we all started gasping for breath. We could not breathe. God did a wonder; that’s all I can say. It was God.

By the time the container was eventually removed, I was already tired. I could no longer breathe well. Just before then, I had concluded that I had held on for long enough and was tired. My hands dropped like I was surrendering at that point, then in like two seconds, I came alive again. Even my friend Motunrayo was also going. At some point, she couldn’t even respond again while we called her name. So, when Austin was calling, I would hold her hand and shake her. But Austin kept calling our names at intervals to ensure that we were fine.

It was God, because every time I felt like I was giving up, it looked like someone did a cardiopulmonary resuscitation on me and I came back to life. Also, the people that were around while we were stuck under the container were very helpful. They kept hitting the container as if trying to break the container while the emergency service of the government had yet arrived. It gave me hope that people were there and were trying to help us. I am grateful to God for that person that kept hitting the container.

No. I didn’t even have a scratch, just a little bit of body pains. In fact, that has been the most amazing part of our testimony that despite all of that, none of us sustained any serious injury or fracture. The highest was just a minor cut on the hand. Before we were removed, I could no longer feel anything in the right part of my body. In fact, I was trying to close my palm but I couldn’t. I was scared that the right part of my body was gone but the moment the container was removed, I was relieved. I felt very good. Despite the fact that the car was crushed so badly, we are alive and more so, we came out without fractures and wounds.

This is more than a miracle. For each and every one of us that were trapped in that vehicle, our testimony is more than a miracle. Neither us nor the people that were there could actually explain or comprehend what exactly happened to us. It is more than a miracle because the word miracle is too common these days. It is more than a miracle and we are just grateful to God. God shielded us; in fact, I would say God was there with us in the vehicle because how does anyone explain this, that we were all intact despite the magnitude of the incident? When we came out, I was just crying because no one could believe that we were in that crushed car".

She further explained to Siggy, "It was a very traumatising experience. I am yet to recover from the effect. At one point, I was crying when my friend was no longer talking. I was just crying and begging her to talk to me. I don’t pray that my enemy go through what we went through that night. No human deserves to go through any of that. We merely escaped by the grace of God because I wouldn’t even say that we are so faithful in our service to God.

My boss called me that Sunday evening while we were stuck under the container. I couldn’t pick. But I dialed back his number with my left hand and told him that I was involved in an accident and currently stuck under a fallen container at Ojuelegba. He was like, “How can you make a call while involved in an accident?” But I kept telling him that I wasn’t joking that I was currently involved in an accident. I was just shouting, ‘Start coming.’ He lives in Irawo just before Ikorodu. Immediately after the call, my phone fell from my hand, so I couldn’t bend down to pick the phone anymore even when the phone was vibrating just beside my legs. When I later got my phone, I saw like 30 missed calls. That means that after my call with him ended, he must have called my family members to inform them.

I have not totally got over the shock. Once I close my eyes, the images of the incident still play in my head. I would literally see the container falling on my head. I will open my eyes with fear all over my face. It’s the people around me that have been talking me out of it; telling me to calm down, “You’re home in your room.” It’s such a terrible experience. I have always heard about this trailer and container falling on people, but experiencing it is so different for me. I have never thought that I could be caught in such a web.

We were taken to the hospital. I was given some drips. They did an X-ray to check if I had any bone issue and after the X-ray showed that I was fine, the hospital also checked for internal injury but there was none; so, I was discharged alongside others.
