December 3, 2019 Ronaldo snubs Ballon d’Or for Gran Gala ceremony

Ronaldo snubs Ballon d’Or for Gran Gala ceremony

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t appear at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris on Monday evening as Lionel Messi won his sixth gong.

Multiple reports claim the Portuguese star wasn’t on the podium for the prize, with his Barcelona rival winning for a record sixth time and Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah on either side.

Now, reports ran that Ronaldo had learned of his ranking, outside the top three, and therefore, decided not to attend the event.

Instead, he appeared at the Gran Gala ceremony in Milan – also being held on Monday night – to receive the award for best Serie A player of last season.

The 34-year-old debuted as a Juve player with 21 League goals during the 2018-19 campaign but has managed just six so far this term.

Education Rights Campaign Describes Controversy Around The Implementation Of IPPIS As Unnecessary And Diversionary.

The Education Rights Campaign has viewed the controversy generated around the implementation of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System in the public Universities as unnecessary and diversionary.

 

It says this is considering the enormous challenges of underfunding, skyrocketing tuition fees and clampdown on democratic rights of students.

 

National Coordinator of the group, Hassan Soweto said despite corruption in many public tertiary institutions in Nigeria, they do not believe that IPPIS is capable of ensuring sanity, transparency and accountability in the system.

 

Hassan Soweto also renewed call for increased funding to the education sector.

Femi Falana Alleges That Government Plans To Transfer Omoyele Sowore From Dss Custody To Prison.

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has alleged that the Federal Government had applied to the FCT High Court for an order to transfer his clients who were arrested for their call for the #RevolutionNow protest from the custody of the DSS to prison.

 

The #RevolutionNow protest convener, Omoyele Sowore, and his co-detainee, Adebayo Bakare, have been in the custody of the DSS since August despite the orders of the Federal High Court in Abuja for their release.

 

Falana, in a letter dated December 1, 2019 and addressed to the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, asked him to direct the DSS to release his clients.

 

He urged Malami to ensure compliance with court orders in the country the same way the federal government complied with that of the British courts on the P&ID case.
