BREAKING: Universities Shutting Down – ASUU Rues N200m To N300m Monthly Electricity Bill
ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, who spoke on Thursday during the opening session of a two-day national conference convened by the union in Abuja, said the electricity bills of some universities run between N200m to N300m monthly. The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has issued a warning that many Nigerian universities are on the brink of collapse due to the “unbearable cost of electricity.” ASUU President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, who spoke on Thursday during the opening session of a two-day national conference convened by the union in Abuja, said the electricity bills of some universities run between N200m to N300m monthly.
According to him, upon the huge bills universities only receive N15m monthly from the federal government as running costs for both electricity and other bills.
He lamented that while the universities get N15 million as total running cost, the government is paying each Senator “N21 million a month”.
He said, “What the government gives you to run the system is N15 million, and you get a bill for electricity alone of N300 million. Where is that money coming from? You have to run the laboratories. You have to run the diesel. You have to run the fuel for vehicles.
“But you know what? A government that will give just N15 million for UNILAG to run, will in turn, give one Senator N21 million a month. The government gives a system N15 million, but an individual gets N21 million. That’s where our priority is”.
Bako Bala, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Suru Local Government Area (LGA) of Kebbi State is dead.
He was reportedly shot dead by gunmen, according to a Facebook post by Zaidu Bala, special adviser on television and radio to Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris.
He said Bala was killed at his residence following an abduction attempt.
“To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. Alhaji Bako Bala has died — APC chairman of Suru local government,” the post reads.
“He died after kidnappers abducted him and his family last night. They shot him, and he passed away at the Medical Centre Hospital in Birnin Kebbi. May Allah have mercy on him.”
Nafiu Abubakar, the police spokesperson in Kebbi State, when asked, stated that he would verify the incident and provide further information.
This tragic event comes amid a surge in banditry in the north-west region as security forces continue their decade-long battle to combat insecurity.
In recent weeks, Nigerian military personnel have thwarted several attacks across the region. On September 11, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) stopped a terrorist assault on Department of State Services (DSS) facilities in Niger State, and days later, Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) forces killed notorious bandit leaders in Zamfara.

Former Big Brother Naija season 9 housemate, Kassia has revealed that it was difficult for her to withhold herself from touching her husband while she was in the house.
She stated this in a post-eviction interview with Pulse.
According to Kassia, touching is one of her primary love languages, so not touching her husband in the house was not easy at all.
She further revealed that her friendship with Victoria helped her cope with the restriction.
Kassia said:
“It [withholding myself from being physical with my husband] was difficult because one of my love languages is physical touch. And I was restricted from doing all of that.
“But Victoria actually helped me. You all saw the way I was always hugging her. She was my comfort zone.”
