SERAP Asks Buhari To Drop Plan To Borrow N895bn Funds In Dormant Accounts

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has sent an open letter to President BUHARI urging him to "to promptly drop the plan by the Federal Government to borrow about N895bn of unclaimed dividends and funds in dormant accounts.

It says government plans to use the unconstitutional and illegal Finance Act, 2020, to achieve goal.

The Finance Act, signed into law by BUHARI last December, would allow the government to borrow unclaimed dividends and dormant account balances owned by Nigerians in any bank in the country.

But SERAP in a letter signed by its deputy director KOLAWOLE OLUWADARE said borrowing unclaimed dividends and funds in dormant accounts amount to an illegal expropriation, and would hurt poor and vulnerable Nigerians.

Covid-19: ASUU Protocols Says Institutions Are Not Ready For Safe Reopening

Branches of the Academic Staff Union of Universities have assessed COVID-19 protocols in the universities and said the institutions were not ready for safe reopening.

The chapters of the union, in separate interviews commented on the directive of the National Universities Commission that universities could resume on January 18, but must adhere to COVID-19 protocols in hostels and lecture halls.

ASUU said although its members were ready to start work, government had not put measures in place for safe reopening of the schools.

ASUU's concern came amid coronavirus cases and deaths, which rose to 99,063 and 1,350 respectively on Saturday.

The union Chairman at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Osun State, Dr ADEOLA EGBEDOKUN, in an interview said classroom and hostel situations in universities did not in any way conform to COVID-19 protocols.

Staff Of NIMC To Resume Work Today After Suspending Their Strike Action

Workers of the National Identity Management Commission are expected to resume work today after suspending the strike action they embarked upon on Thursday.

The workers embarked on strike over the spread of COVID-19 among staff, delay in promotion and lack of appropriate funding.

The workers decided to put the strike on hold after a meeting with the Federal Government, where it was agreed that their demands would be addressed.

President, Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, NIMC Unit, ASEKOKHAI LUCKY said workers of the commission across the country will resume work by Monday and begin the enrolment of citizens for the National Identity Numbers.

But as the offices of the NIMC nationwide brace-up for a deluge of applicants expected to flood their offices, the question of disregard of Covid 19 protocols casts a shady cloud, with Nigerians wondering about the call for registration during the second wave of coronavirus pandemic.
