No fewer than 23 persons were feared killed in multiple crashes, when their vehicles plunged into a collapsed bridge at Yar’randa village in Charanchi Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The first crash involved a bus conveying 24 passengers which plunged into the bridge few minutes after its collapse on Monday night.

According to the witness, the bridge collapsed at about 9.30p.m. due to heavy downpour and moments after the bus with registration number XA 328 KZR, conveying passengers from Kano to Katsina, fell into the bridge.

skimarvel: Senate President David Mark and the governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam have called on religious leaders to intervene in the lingering face-off between the Federal Government and Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which has resulted in the closure of universities nationwide.
Addressing the 2nd plenary session of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) in Otukpo, Benue State yesterday, Senator Mark said the differences between the federal government and ASUU required spiritual intervention in order to end the unending imbroglio.
David Mark lamented the plight of the students who have been kept at home and deprived of a stable school calender because of the on-going ASUU strike.
Also speaking, the Benue State governor, Suswam called for partnership between the church, government and the people in order to fast-track political development and stability in the country, urging the bishops to use the session to appeal to ASUU to shift ground as the federal government had made reasonable concessions to their demands to give peace a chance and return students to school.
In his welcome address, the President, Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama urged Christians to be loyal to biblical teachings in all their dealings and called for interior purifications among Nigerians adding that with renewed commitment to the task of teaching and sanctifying, Nigeria will overcome her travails

UMUAHIA — THE Academic Staff
Union of Universities, ASUU, has
lashed out at the Information
Minister, Labaran Maku, for
saying Nigeria would shut down
if the Federal Government
conceded to the demands of
university teachers.
ASUU described the minister’s
statement as a careless
utterance, and urged Nigerians
to ignore him.
The union in a statement by
Zonal Coordinator, Calabar zone,
Dr. Charles Ononuju, said Maku
was ignorant of the agreement
between it and the Federal
Government.
It asked Maku to apologise to
Nigerians for such unguarded
comments and warned him to
stop playing politics with the
future of the Nigerian child.
ASUU said: “Nigerians should
ignore the careless utterance by
the Minister of Information that
the country will shut down if
ASUU’s demand is met. It seems
the minister has not seen or read
the 2009 ASUU/FG agreement.
“The country has not shut down
with constant government
wastages and billions of dollars
being stolen. The minister should
apologise to Nigerians for such
unguarded comments and stop
playing politics with the future of
Nigerian child.”
