We are Against UK’s planned £3,000 Visa bond for Nigerians, says Reps

Minister of Foreign Affairs Olugbenga Ashiru said yesterday that the Federal Government will defend the interest of Nigerians on consular related issues with foreign countries. Ashiru spoke in Abuja following a proposal by the United Kingdom to introduce a bond of 3,000 pounds (N750, 000) for intending visitors from Nigeria and five other countries. Speaking at the 2013 Ministerial Platform, Ashiru reiterated that the UK government was yet to officially notify Nigeria on the proposal scheduled to start in November. “Really, we have received no official communication from the UK government. “When we receive communication from them, we will study whatever proposal they are trying to do but I can assure all Nigerians that President Jonathan’s government will defend the interest of Nigerians by whatever means it can.’’ The House of Representatives Foreign Affairs committee kicked against the policy.

National Association Of Resident Doctors to Embark On A Three- day Strike On Wednesday

Tough times ahead for Nigeria as the National Association of Resident Doctors has ordered its members nationwide to embark on a three-day warning strike from Wednesday. NARD said Wednesday’s strike was to protest against the poor funding of the residency training of its members by the Federal Government. The 21-day ultimatum given to the Federal Government by NARD expired on June 18, 2013. NARD National President, Dr. Ismail Lawal, had about two weeks ago during a news conference at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu warned that the resident doctors across the country might embark on strike any moment after the 21-day ultimatum expired. Lawal, who had expressed dismay at the inadequate funding of the residency training programme in the 2013 budget, had also said the union had given enough opportunity to the government to address the lapses. He said, “NARD has directed her members to embark on a three-day warning strike commencing from Wednesday Ju...

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki said that Nelson Mandela’s health was improving.

No fewer than five persons were shot yesterday in a fracas that broke out as angry youths stormed the palace of Apeju of Ilupeju-Ekiti and chased out the monarch, Oba Olaleye Oniyelu, for allegedly installing an unpopular person as a traditional chief. Five houses were also razed by the irate youths, who pounced on the monarch for attempting to impose his own candidate, Mr. Israel Ojo as the Olugbosun (the third in hierarchy to the monarch and war chief) against the wish of the people. President of Ilupeju Ekiti Students Union, Mr. Tayo Fatile, was said to have also sustained serious injury during the fracas, as he was hit with the butt of a rifle during the scuffle.
