“ I won this election by the grace of God and divine arrangement to represent my people at the red chamber of the National Assembly.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has dragged the Federal and state governments to the ECOWAS Court of Justice in Abuja over alleged attacks on journalists and bloggers.

According to a statement issued on Sunday, the SERAP Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, said the group is suing the government for what it described as “the frequent and repressive application of the Cybercrime Act to harass, intimidate, arbitrarily arrest, detain, and unfairly prosecute anyone found publishing views or facts perceived to be critical of the government at the federal and state levels and government officials.”

In the suit number ECW/CCJ/APP/09/19 filed by its Solicitor Femi Falana last week at the ECOWAS Court, SERAP argued that: “The Federal Government and several state governments and their agents have trampled on the rights to freedom of expression and information of bloggers, journalists, activists, and social media users through the repressive use and implementation of the vaguely worded provisions of the Cybercrime Act.”

SERAP stressed that the idea of democracy is that the people are encouraged to express their criticisms of elected government officials, with the expectation that it will improve the process of government.

In cases of alleged defamation of government officials, the group believes sanctions should “not be so large as to exert a chilling effect on freedom of opinion, expression and media freedom; penal sanctions, in particular imprisonment, should never be applied”.

VoiceAirMedia gathered a reports that SERAP is, therefore, seeking the following reliefs:

1. A declaration that the actions of the defendants and its agents and several states of Nigeria in arbitrarily enforcing the provisions of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act 2015 particularly its section 24 to harass, intimidate, arrest, detain, prosecute and imprison journalists, bloggers, and social media users, violate the rights to freedom of expression, information, opinion and privacy and media freedom, guaranteed under Articles 6,8,9 and 24 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights; Articles 7,9,17 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which Nigeria is a state party.

2. A declaration that the provisions of the Cybercrime (Prohibition Prevention, etc) Act 2015 are entirely inconsistent and incompatible with international human rights standards and infringe on the rights to the freedom of expression, information and opinion guaranteed under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

3. A declaration that the continuing use and application by the Defendant and its agents and several states in Nigeria of the Cybercrime is illegal and unlawful, as it amounts to breaches of obligations to respect, protect, promote and fulfil the rights to freedom of expression and information and media freedom.

4. An order directing the Defendant to immediately repeal and/or amend the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act 2015 in line with Nigerian obligations under international human rights law.

5. An order directing the Defendant and/or its agents and several states of Nigeria to provide effective remedies and reparation, including adequate compensation, restitution, satisfaction or guarantees of non-repetition that the Honourable Court may deem fit to grant to human rights defenders, activists bloggers, journalists and other online and off-line media practitioners that have been harassed, intimidated, unlawfully arrested, detained, and unfairly prosecuted by the Defendant.

6. Such Further orders the Honorable Court may deem fit to make in the circumstances of this suit.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF KWARA STATE STUDENTS, NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS

Release our approved balance before 1 PM today, Thursday 28th Feb, 2019 or the National Headquarters shall champion a very massive protest with thousand Kwara state students shutting down all ministries, government house and major roads.

Kwara state Governor always playing politics with the welfarism of students using delay tactics.

The National Association of Kwara state students, National Headquarters, the umbrella embodied with the welfarism of about 1.6 million Kwara state students studying home and abroad has noticed over time the nonchalant attitude of Kwara state government, led by Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed on students welfarism.

Recall that the Governor pronounced before all media houses and the public in general that he will immediately release 50 Million naira out of the approved 100 Million naira for 2018 bursary award. The money that is being release in bit of 25M, 5M, etc showing that students education is not a priority of this government.

Because of the outcome of the recent general elections conducted, the Kwara state government has lost interest on the welfarism of students thereby stopping the ongoing bursary disbursement as the scholarship board refused to continue payment in college of education Ilorin claiming insufficient available fund, an indication to the leadership that the government has withdrawn the earlier released money.

On this note, we give the government latest 1 PM today, Thur 28th Feb, 2019 to make available fund to the scholarship board for the continuation of bursary payment in college of education Ilorin or be ready to accommodate thousand students in government house, locking all ministries and blocking all major roads. This protest will indeed be very tough as we are ready to put all Kwara state activities standstill because the students are very angry and highly disappointed with this usual delay tactics of playing over the intelligence of students.

S’West PDP tackles INEC
Meanwhile, the South West Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned the last-minute postponement of the election, saying it confirms the unpreparedness of the INEC for the election.
In a statement by the Zonal Publicity Secretary, Mr. Ayo Fadaka, said: “We take due cognizance of the last minute postponement of the presidential and national assembly elections by INEC based on a flimsy excuse of logistics crisis, particularly in view of the numerous declarations of its preparedness to prosecute the elections on the dates previously fixed by it.
“This development, however, puts a lie to INEC’s numerous grandstanding and pointedly confirms its unpreparedness to conduct a nationwide election, an intention consistent with the desires of the APC, which if executed would have immediately created a political crisis in our nation.
“This sloppiness must stop and INEC must be prepared to discharge its allocated responsibilities firmly on the new dates fixed for the elections.

Afenifere chieftain flays INEC chairman
Also chiding the INEC chairman, an Afenifere chieftain, Senator Femi Okunrounmu has accused the INEC Chairman, Prof. Yakubu of working for the ruling APC to foist President Muhammadu Buhari on Nigerians.
He said this while speaking to
Vanguard in Abeokuta on the postponement of the elections.
Okunrounmu alleged: “The APC leaders are the ones that forced him into the situation, where we have to have the election cancelled few hours before going to polls.
“We should blame INEC squarely because if INEC had been straight forward, and an organization with integrity, all these will never have happened.
“All the factors that led to the postponement would never have happened.

“If Mahmood Yakubu has been a man of integrity, if he had been an honest man; committed to giving us a free and fair election, all the problems that led to the postponement wouldn’t have arisen.
“From his incompetence, he cannot be trusted, but, we have to watch him. I have told you because, he has shown that he doesn’t have integrity, he is not independent; he is being manipulated by the incumbent government–the government of Buhari.”

Therefore leadership of the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) under the able leadership of Comrade Mohammed Eneji frowns at the statement credited to The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoCSF), Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita last week Thursday about the council's decision on the dichotomy between BSc and HND.

The statement is hypocritical and unacceptable as we have hoped that the decision taken at the last National Council for Establishment's resolution and recommendations will be implemented. We have also expected that the same qualification that equates their entry level into the civil service should also be applicable  to them at the highest level. It came to us as a shock to realize that HND Graduate who enters into the service at the same level with his/her university counterpart cannot rise above level 14 while the other from the university can.

In as much as it has been established that the O'level requirements into both a polytechnic and University are same and the  recent entry policy that covers all cadres, it is therefore unfair and discriminatory for HND holders be required to acquire additional relevant qualification before they can rise above level 14 in the civil service. It is either the service allows us enjoy same privileges as the BSc holders or scrap the name 'HND' and replace it with other suitable nomenclature. This is a new campaign which shall commence soon and will be held in the six geopolitical zones of the country and FCT where our students both old and undergraduate will be faced with the challenge of whether to continue to hold on to our HND certificates and be respected for it or begin a fresh agitation to convert our institutions to degree awarding institutions.

We cannot afford to continue to be treated as second class citizens in a developing country such as Nigeria where the Polytechnic Certificate is suppose to be accorded more respect above any other certificate.

Comrade Mohammed Eneji, the
NAPS President with this number
08130482814 on behalf of NAPS hereby call on well meaning Polytechnic graduates and students to rise and save our certificate by supporting the campaign.

The Kwara State Students under the aegis of National Association of Kwara Stare Students (NAKSS) has expressed their dismay over the refusal of the State government to pay the remaining parts of the students bursary.

NAKSS in a statement jointly signed by the Union Vice President Admin Comr. Abdullahi Ibrahim Paranti and Director General Comr. Elemosho Ridwan Damilare made available to VoiceAirMedia today said it will tomorrow (Wednesday) commence a six days peaceful protest.

According to the statement, out of the 100 million naira approved by the kwara state government, only 25 million has been approved.

The Student are however demanding for the release of the balance of 75 million serve the students welfare.

”We wish to remind you that you approved 100 million naira for the 2018 bursary award and you pronounced before all media houses that 50 million naira should be released and we went ahead to inform all our students but unfortunately only 25 million naira was released which is far not enough to pay about 1.6 million kwara state students.

”sequel to failure of series of peaceful dialogue, lackadaisical attitude and delay tactics of kwara state government towards the lights and yearnings of over 1.6 Million kwara students schooling home and in diaspora, we have hereby unanimously decided to bring to your notice our planned peaceful, diplomatic and democratic confrontation that will commence on the 6th February, 2019.

The motivation to write this letter is informed by the preponderance of vulnerable but not 'toothless' students that their academic careers are beginning to crumble in the face of the present ASUP Nationwide Strike.
Published By: VoiceAirMedia Nigeria.

I hope this letter meets you in a very sound 'state of mind', following the controversies surrounding the suspension of the head of the institution widely believed to be the last hope of the common man. I learnt your '' Lai Mohammed'' claimed the purported suspension is constitutional, moral and legally right. Hopefully, the issue would not be laid-to-rest the same way all other critical & sensitive issues had been buried in your administration. Time will tell anyways!

Not to digress, however, from the main issue, I believe if pen is mightier than sword, then incessant strike shouldn't always be an option, rather a well structured negotiation.

I would want to align with ''Education is the most powerful weapon which can change the world'' say of Nelson Mandela. But the simple truth is that ''things are beginning to fall apart'' in our country and education sector in particular.

Consequently, the pressing issues that made the union embark on strike simultaneously alongside their University counterpart might be cloudy. The partly 7.02% or less usually awarded the education sector in the nation's budget as against UNESCO recommendation is a viable reason the union decision is justifiable.

With the benefit of hindsight, most of the union agitations are issues that should have been amicably addressed to waive the lingering strike. But abysmally as it may be, your entourage totally failed to weigh or consider their offers, probably because you careless about our future.

Let me slice it a little thinner, the reasons for the ineffectiveness and inefficiency of most Nigerian graduates are multifactorial. I'm convinced the avoidable pause in our academic pursuits is a great contributor. I took some measures to analyse the havoc caused by the always-long-strike, i observed our environment is dominated by hoodlums which are mostly idle students the strike affect adversely.

My eyes became heavy and red when I bumped on the emotional story of a Nigerian that forfeited an opportunity to study in the University of Cape Town due to the ongoing strike. The agony in here voice further depicts the trauma of loosing a hard-earned scholarship to study in the university all because the strike denied her the chance to process her transcript. To you it might be coincidence, but to me it is not because 'lf coincidences keep occurring it is fate, if fate deepens it's destiny''. Is our destinies in this country maltreatments and rejections?

Being a Press Text released at the end of an emergency NAPS Exco meeting on the 25th January, 2019 made available to VoiceAirMedia.

National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) is the national body of Nigerian students studying in Polytechnics, Monotechnics and Colleges of Technology both at home and in Diaspora.
It is no news that the academic activities in our campuses have been paralysed since the 12th December of 2018 as a result of the nationwide strike embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP). The students had expected that the Federal Government would have met and come to terms with the striking lecturers by now so the students can return to class, unfortunately, the Federal Government have done nothing to help the situation while the students continue to battle with frustration.

ASUU STRIKE: Students plan to protest on Friday, Jan. 25

A group of students of tertiary institutions in Lagos under the aegis of Concerned Nigerian Students are planning to protest on Friday, January 25 2019 to express their displeasure over ASUU strike.

The students in a statement sent to ASUU/ASUP Protests WhatsApp forum on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, asked the Federal Government to fulfil the agreement it willfully entered with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in order for them to get back to school.

Recall that the Federal Government and the ASUU leaders have had eight meetings to resolve the ongoing strike which has entered week twelve.

The statement confirmed by VoiceAirMedia reads in part: ‘’The March tagged #BlackFridayWalk which was earlier scheduled to start by 10am after a Press Conference at the University of Lagos was suspended till further notice for security reasons.

The leadership of the Coalition submitted a letter to the Police informing them of the peaceful protest and the only accepted reason given by the Police to suspend the March is the security situation in Lagos, citing the violence that claimed lives at the APC rally on Tuesday and the reprisal attacks they envisage.

We were very clear that it is never in the interest of the Nigerian State and its instrumentality; in this case, the Police to harbor dissidence, freedom of association and expression. Nevertheless, it is in the understanding of the tension in the political space the thieving ruling class have created, the leadership suspended the protest to prevent any breach of public peace by their agents who are only interested in leaving sorrow, tears and blood.

Senator Buruji Kashamu has abandoned his governorship ambition and has now urged his faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun state to support Oladipupo Adebutu, who is recognised by the national leadership.

Buruji made the surprise surrender announcement on Thursday and directed all his supporters and associates to work with members of the Adebutu group “in the overall interest of the party”.

Adebutu had been locked in a supremacy battle Senator Kashamu over the control of the state party structure and the Ogun State PDP governorship ticket. Kashamu, along with Reuben Abati as running mate, had laid claim to being the authentic candidates of the party.

In a statement received by VoiceAirMedia, the Ogun East senator said it was better for the contending groups to work and win together – in the overall interest of the party. As the saying goes, “united we stand; divided we fall”. It is only in unity that we can stand tall together.

“It is true we are in court. But, we are hopeful that the issues will be resolved sooner than later. However, in the overall interest of the party, it is better and wiser for us to work together as members of the same family pending the resolution of the issues in court. We may have had our disagreements and issues, and have submitted them to the court for adjudication; yet, we have been talking to one another.

“We reckon that whichever way it goes, the court cannot bring about genuine reconciliation and peace. So, we have resolved to be agents of peace and reconciliation. Let us put aside our ego, prejudices and personal interests, and work together for the Party – in the hope that whoever carries the day will work for the Party, its members and the generality of the people.

“It is in the light of the foregoing that I wish to formally and publicly urge all my leaders, elders and supporters to work with the Lado group within the Ogun State chapter of the PDP ahead of February 16 and March 2, 2019 elections. Irrespective of our differences, we are members of the same family. At the end, it is the party that wins; not any individual or group.”

Kashamu therefore urged that the ongoing unity meetings and rallies between the two groups within the Ogun State PDP should be intensified and held in the 236 wards, 20 local governments and three senatorial districts of the state.

These, he said, will be capped with a “Mega Unity Rally” to be held on a date and venue to be announced soon.
