Bowen University Sacks Over 100 Workers In A Day

Tension is brewing at the Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State over the sack of over 100 workers yesterday.

A source at the institution told The Nation that letters of disengagement were sent to the affected workers via email on Tuesday night. The source said the school claimed that the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic was the reason for the retrenchment.

One of the affected workers, who pleaded anonymity, told our reporter that the university sent sack letters to over 100 members of staff on Tuesday night “and this is generating tension on the campus now.”

He said:

“Over 100 of us are affected and we may resort to violence because the reason for the sack was not genuine. The Vice Chancellor, Prof Joshua Ogunwole, recently bought a vehicle worth over N42 million despite the economic situation. So you can see that it is caused by wickedness and insensitivity.”

University spokesman Toba Adaramola confirmed that the institution sacked some workers.

“Technology can take care of the duties of most workers that were sacked. So it is a way of sustaining the university so that it can maintain its status. There is no protest in the school,”

He said.

Willian And Pepe Could Make Smith Rowe Another Gnabry’ – Wright Fears Arsenal Exit For Talented Youngster

The Gunners great wants the management at Emirates Stadium to ensure that they do not allow another promising playmaker to slip their net Arsenal need to ensure that Emile Smith Rowe does not become another Serge Gnabry says Ian Wright, with the Gunners great concerned that regular game time for underperforming Willian and Nicolas Pepe could force another academy graduate to look elsewhere. Mikel Arteta has been putting his faith in youth lately, with a different approach favoured on the back of a poor start to the 2020-21 campaign at Emirates Stadium. With seasoned performers such as Willian and Pepe struggling for form and Mesut Ozil frozen out of the picture, Arsenal have had to look elsewhere for creative inspiration. Smith Rowe has provided that during a run of three successive Premier League wins, with the 20-year-old playmaker impressing after being given an opportunity. Wright wants Arteta to resist the urge to return so-called stars to his starting XI, saying that overlookin

See The Reasons Why Governor El-Rufai Can Never Abandon Sanusi

Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, who offered Sanusi two appointments after his dethronement, said he could not leave the embattled monarch at this time. He added that Sanusi had been with him since he was a teenager and that he (Sanusi) had never left him. He pointed out that traditional rulers deserve respect and that in Kaduna, monarchs as the custodians of culture are respected. Speaking on Sanusi’s freedom of movement as ruled by the court, el-Rufai, who was in Awe around 12:45 to accompany Sanusi out of the town after the court ruling, told journalists that, “I came to visit my friend and my brother, the deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, and to see how he is doing and to express my support for him.” “We have been friends since we were teenagers. He has been by my side throughout my troubles and successes and I have to be by his side throughout his own troubles and successes. We are inseparable.” Fielding questions from journalists shortly af

'I Tried My Best' - Arsenal Boss Arteta Believes He Did All He Could To Include Axed Ozil

The 32-year-old did not feature for the Gunners after lockdown and was subsequently omitted from the club's 25-man Premier League squad. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes he did all he could to give Mesut Ozil a fair shot before he axed the German from his squad. Ozil's name was not among Arsenal's 25-man Premier League squad that was released earlier this month, which followed the playmaker's exclusion from Arsenal's Europa League squad. As the 32-year-old enters the final months of his contract with the Gunners, it now appears likely that he has played his final game for the team. Ozil did play a part for Arsenal last season, at one point starting 10 consecutive Premier League games for the Gunners before the coronavirus lockdown in March. The playmaker did not make a single appearance for Arsenal after lockdown, however, but Arteta has still insisted he gave Ozil every chance to impress before he was omitted from his team. "What I can tell you that I
