NLC, TUC Summon Extraordinary NEC Meeting Over Wednesday Strike

In preparation for the nationwide strike scheduled for Wednesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have called for an extraordinary National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.

During this meeting, organized labour will assess the planned strike's details, considering recent events such as the attack on NLC's National President, Joe Ajaero. Additionally, they will review the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Federal Government and Organized Labor on October 2, 2023, in response to the fuel subsidy removal.

Tommy Etim, TUC's National Vice President, announced this on Tuesday. Last week, the organised labour issued a five-day ultimatum before their protest following the arrest of Joe Ajaero in Owerri, Imo State.

Their demands include the redeployment of the state's police commissioner and the arrest and prosecution of the governor's aide allegedly involved in the attack. If their demands are not met within five days, the unions have threatened to strike nationwide. Ajaero's arrest by the police occurred in advance of the state-wide protest in Imo.

Following this incredible accomplishment, Fisher took on the challenge of the "longest baking marathon (individual)." He met and exceeded expectations, setting a new record with a time of 47 hours and 21 minutes. The previous record, held by Wendy Sandner from the United States, was 31 hours and 16 minutes.

What makes Fisher's achievements even more impressive is that he undertook both record-breaking attempts back-to-back. This grueling schedule required him to be in the kitchen for over 160 hours, with just over a day of rest between these remarkable feats.

Alan Fisher's dedication and passion for his craft have undoubtedly left a lasting mark on culinary records.

Court Of Appeal Affirms Orji Kalu Winner Of Abia North

The Court of Appeal has affirmed Senator Orji Uzor Kalu as the winner of the Abia North Senatorial District seat in the February 25 poll.

The court, presided over by Justice Abiri, upheld the earlier judgment by the Abia State National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.

The candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Nnamdi Iro Orji, and his Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Senator Mao Ohabunwa, had appealed the Tribunal’s judgment.

But in a unanimous ruling, the panel of justices described the appeal as lacking in merit and maintained that Senator Kalu complied with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

Kalu, a two-time lawmaker, was declared the winner of the February 25 senatorial polls, with 30,805 votes to defeat Nnamdi, who got 27,540 votes, while Mao Ohuabunwa scored 15,175 votes to place third.
