Education › AAU Students Protest Over 300% School Fee Increment by ThompsonJoo(op): 11:44am On Jun 26, 2023
AMBROSE ALLI UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ENGAGE IN PROTEST AGAINST RISE IN TUITION FEES

...Urge immediate reversal

_..NANS, FOFSUL urge Edo State Government to uphold their commitment as the 90-day period for dissolving the SIT has already expired_

Learners and concerned parties of the state-affiliated academic institution in Edo have taken to the streets to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the exorbitant 300% surge in educational expenses.

During a press conference, the National Vice President of NANS conveyed that the university raised its fees without consulting the student union's leadership or considering the prevailing national circumstances.

Moreover, she criticized the institution for employing students as a source of internal revenue generation, utilizing their tuition fees solely for staff salaries while disregarding student welfare.

Furthermore, it has been revealed that the hostel accommodation fees were increased in the previous term, citing impending renovations. However, no renovations have been initiated, let alone completed.

She urged the management, under the Freedom of Information Act, to provide a comprehensive breakdown of how the previous fee increment was utilized, warning that any further attempts to raise fees would be met with resistance.

The President of the Forum of Former Students Union Leaders [FOFSUL] reiterated that they had sent letters to the Acting Vice Chancellor on three separate occasions to initiate negotiations. Regrettably, these appeals were dismissed, with the Vice Chancellor branding them as meddlesome interlopers masquerading as stakeholders.

He also reminded the government of Edo state that they trusted his assurance regarding the establishment of a governing council and the dissolution of the SIT, emphasizing that more than 107 days have passed since the promise was made.

For reference, a video can be viewed at the following link:

In a widely circulated voice note on the internet, the Acting Vice Chancellor stated that prospective students who cannot afford the fees are free to seek admission elsewhere, claiming that fee increments are inevitable to sustain the university's operations.

At the time of reporting, all activities within the university have been suspended.

Politics › Rhodes-vivour Accuses Lagos Deputy Gov Of Renouncing Nigerian Citizenship by ThompsonJoo(op): 6:52pm On Jun 22, 2023
The candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 governorship election in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, on Thursday, accused the Deputy Governor of the State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, of renouncing his Nigerian citizenship when he acquired the American passport.

Rhodes-Vivour made the allegation through one of his expert witnesses at the Lagos State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in the Ikeja area of the state.

The witness, Mrs. Olubusayo Fasidi, who claimed to be a United States Immigration lawyer, told the Tribunal that Hamzat swore an oath of allegiance to the U.S., renouncing his Nigerian citizenship.

Fasidi, led in evidence by Dr Olumide Ayeni (SAN), counsel to the petitioner, also testified that the deputy governor applied for naturalisation as contained in Forms 8CFR/337 and N400.

Ayeni tendered the documents to the three-member Tribunal led by Justice Arum Ashom.

However, counsel to all the Respondents objected to the move, saying that the reason for their objection would be included in their final written addresses

Other Tribunal members are Justice Mikail Abdullahi and Justice L. P. Braimoh.

During cross-examination by the lawyer to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Eric Ogiegor, the witness admitted that an individual could enjoy dual citizenship.

She, however, said that she was not aware of the provision of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution that deal with dual citizenship.

She, however, said that she was not aware of the provision of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution that deal with dual citizenship.

Fasidi said she was subpoenaed before the Tribunal to explain U.S. law and not Nigeria’s Constitution.

When the counsel to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat, Bode Olanipekun (SAN), asked her to disclose the jurisdiction and date Hamzat applied for naturalisation, she said she would not because the information was protected by the Privacy Act of 1974.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) counsel, Norris Quakers, asked the witness if she knew whether Hamzat disclosed his American citizenship, and she answered in the affirmative.

Earlier, Ayeni presented result sheets from polling units in nine local government areas of the state to establish differences in some regions against what was recorded on INEC’s Form EC 40A.

Counsel to INEC, Sanwo-Olu, Hamzat and APC objected to the admissibility of Form EC 40A, reserving reasons until their final written addresses.

The Tribunal has adjourned the matter to June 26 for further hearing.

Politics › 7.5% VAT On Petrol by ThompsonJoo(op): 7:56pm On Jun 18, 2023
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a type of tax that is added to the price of goods and services. In many countries, including some parts of the world, petrol is subject to VAT.

When someone says that there is a 7.5% VAT on petrol, it means that the government has imposed a tax of 7.5% on the price of petrol. For example, if the price of petrol is $2 per liter, then the VAT on it would be 7.5% of $2, or $0.15 per liter. Therefore, the total price of petrol including VAT would be $2.15 per liter.

The government usually collects this VAT from the petrol seller, who passes it on to the end consumer in the form of a higher price. The revenue generated from VAT is used by the government to fund public services, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure.


IN NIGERIA .[b][/b]

, if the price of fuel in Nigeria is N500 per liter, and there is a 7.5% VAT on petrol, then the VAT on it would be 7.5% of N500, which is N37.50 per liter. Therefore, the total price of petrol including VAT would be N537.50 per liter.

This means that if you buy one liter of petrol in Nigeria at a price of N500, you will have to pay an additional N37.50 as VAT, making the total cost of one liter of petrol N537.50. The petrol seller would collect the VAT of N37.50 and remit it to the government.

I hope this helps to clarify the concept of VAT on petrol in Nigeria.


This is the explanation of VAT

Education › Government Can’t Fund Universities Anymore” – FG Declares by ThompsonJoo(op): 10:29am On Jun 15, 2023
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led Federal Government has announced that the government can no longer bear the financial burden of universities in the country.

OBSERVERSTIMES reports that during a media briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, Permanent Secretary for the Federal Ministry of Education, Andrew David Adejo, emphasised that while universities already enjoy autonomy, they lack financial autonomy.

Adejo explained, “Whether we like it or not, the government can no longer foot the bill for universities. That is why we are pursuing private-public partnerships. The universities already have autonomy; what they lack is financial autonomy. Once they obtain it, they will be able to address this issue, and the government is actively working towards that goal.”

In addition to this development, President Tinubu has instructed relevant stakeholders to ensure the disbursement of student loans by the end of the September/October 2023/2024 Academic Session.

Business › JUST IN: SEC Bans Binance Operation In Nigeria, Declares It Illegal Entity by ThompsonJoo(op): 9:06am On Jun 10, 2023
The attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) has been drawn to the website operated by Binance Nigeria Limited, soliciting the Nigerian public to trade crypto assets on its various web and mobile-enabled platforms.

Binance Nigeria Limited is neither registered nor regulated by the Commission and its operations in Nigeria are therefore illegal. Any member of the investing public dealing with the entity is doing so at his/her own risk.

As the regulator with the statutory mandate of investor protection, the Commission urges Nigerians to be wary of investing in crypto-assets, and crypto-asset related financial products and services if the service provider/its platform is not registered or regulated by the Commission. Nigerian investors are hereby warned that investing in crypto-assets is extremely risky and may result in total loss of their investment.

By this circular, Binance Nigeria Limited is hereby directed to immediately stop soliciting Nigerian investors in any form whatsoever.

The Commission shall provide updates on further regulatory actions with respect to the activities of Binance Nigeria Limited, and other similar platforms and shall work with other regulators in Nigeria to provide further guidance on this matter.

Signed

Management

Business › Uber, Bolt Drivers Begin Nationwide Strike by ThompsonJoo(op): 9:32am On Jun 07, 2023
The Amalgamated Union of App-based Transport Workers of Nigeria, comprising drivers under the platform of e-hailing companies like Uber and Bolt, has said it will commence a nationwide protest today (Wednesday).

It planned to withdraw services of its drivers from the general public today.

After the hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit, the drivers decried the low fare increase by the ride-hailing transport companies

According to a statement by the union, the increase by the app-based firms stood between 25 to 30 per cent, which was far from the union’s demand for a 200 per cent increase, and a 50 per cent reduction in commission respectively

The drivers, who said they could no longer work under these conditions, noted that they had previously appealed to the companies to reduce their commissions on the ground that they did not reflect industry benchmark commissions.

They urged all app-based workers across the country to be ready to fight the menace until victory was achieved.

The statement read in part, “The union’s technical team is versed with the operation and technicality of ride-hailing companies and on our calculations, any app company can breakeven charging below five per cent even though the union recommended a flat commission of 10 per cent or 50 per cent off their current commission during our last meeting, as we believe this will help us to cope with maintenance costs, spare parts and various overhead cost and the current fuel increase.

We can no longer tolerate any act of dictatorial practices by any app company because we are workers and as an organised union, we have written several letters to these companies for a round table discussion where we can look at various areas of concern and dialogue but they have remained adamant with a deliberate intention to avoid responsibility.

“So, as a result of this insensitivity, the union is directing all its members across the nation to shut down their service on all ride-hailing applications from Wednesday, June 7, 2023, in protest against every dictatorial practice and lack of concern for welfare and security of App-Based Transport workers of Nigeria.”
