Yahaya Bello establishes committee to launch new University in Okun

Yahaya Bello, the governor of KOGI state, has appointed a 17-member committee to launch a state university in Okun, the state’s Kogi West Senatorial District. The proposed state college, which will be the third state-possessed college, as indicated by Bello, is a move informed by decency, value and populism to individuals of Okunland. The governor instructed the committee to ensure swift action so that the university could immediately begin academic activities.
The governor blasted the fact that, despite having more than 600 professors, the Okun land had not yet received a university, rejecting the claim that establishing a university there is political.
Bello, while initiating the 17-man execution Advisory group contained Teachers from Kogi State, on Wednesday, at the Kogi Express Lead representative’s Cabin, in Abuja, likewise said that the college will give an open door to huge number of Kogi state kids who have been not able to get confirmation in previously existing colleges.

I am aware that there are thousands of our children at home who cannot be absorbed by these established universities and for whom there is no room in other national universities. “These are people who have a wealth of knowledge. I would venture to guess that there are over 600 professors in Okun land, but you only have one university. The university you so desired has been granted to you by this administration. Certain individuals thought it was a political assertion. Let me address the doubters. By the extraordinary beauty of God when God guaranteed we satisfy it. No matter how political it may be, no one will be able to erase the fact that I led the establishment of a university in Okun land. However, he stated that it is his dream to enroll the first class of university students before he retires in January 2024. “I congratulate the people of Okun Land and Kogi State on the realization of a dream. Let me assure you that, by God’s grace, I will enroll the first class at this university. I ask you to help me realize my dream. As a result, Bello gave the Committee members no less than six weeks to deliver the following roadmap for its rapid takeoff: Assurance of sort of college to be laid out, whether specific or the traditional kind of college; determination of the university’s appropriate name; preparation of the university’s academic brief, law, and master plan; determination of a suitable university location; “Assurance of a departure grounds to consider quick initiation of scholarly exercises; The university’s realistic funding sources will be determined, in addition to any other tasks required for its immediate launch.

Prosecutors to go after Barcelona over payments to official of referees committee

Prosecutors have formally accused La Liga giant, Barcelona of corruption over alleged payments to a company that belonged to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, a former Vice President of Spain’s referees’ committee, for several years.

Prosecutors will now be pursuing a case against Barcelona after the official announcement on Friday, March 10. This is coming weeks after it was reported that Barca paid Negreira and a company he owns 8.4m euros (£7.4m) between 2001 and 2018. While Barcelona had claimed they were only interested in referee scouting reports, their sporting integrity has also been called into question. Former Presidents of the Spanish football club, Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell are also targeted in the case. The public prosecutor’s office said in a statement; “FC Barcelona obtained and maintained a strictly confidential verbal agreement with Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira so that, in his capacity as vice-president of the technical arbitral committee (CTA) and in exchange for money, the latter carries out actions tending to benefit FC Barcelona in decisions by the referees.” Despite the club’s stance, revelations that Negreira offered to “help with VAR” suggests that there could be more for prosecutors to investigate. If found guilty, Barcelona could face sporting sanctions. Barcelona coach Xavi, who won eight La Liga titles with them as a player between 1998 and 2015, has said he had no knowledge of the payments and never had the feeling his team had any advantage.

Tinubu sets up reconciliation committee, to meet Atiku, Peter Obi, others

The President-elect, Tinubu has reportedly set up a reconciliation committee to meet with presidential candidates of other political parties.

Recall that Tinubu was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. The Governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu made this known in Abuja during the presentation of the certificate of return to the president-elect, and Kashim Shetima, vice president-elect. He said: “The president-elect has set up committees to meet with the gentlemen who contested in the election for us to start the healing process. I belong to one of the committees. We are going to meet them and appeal to them so that we can work together,” “This is an election that was not padded. People who voted were counted, that is the way I see it, not one which shows millions of votes. You can see the candidates, everyone won 12 states each, it has never been like that before.” Akeredolu maintained that the people of Ondo state voted for Tinubu because they wanted a southern president. “Ondo people are progressives and we will always, at least, be on the side of progressivism. From the onset, we were at the forefront of clamour for a southern president and so we have to put everything we had into it and we got the support, that is why we are able to make it,” he said.
