POSTED IN EDUCATIONAgitation for indigenous VCs: Nigerian varsities no longer universal — ASUU *as group calls for arrest of protesters By Adesina Wahab THE Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has described the agitations by some individuals and groups that indigenes of towns where universities are sited be made the vice chancellors of such universities as reducing the institutions to local entities. The union, through the National President, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, in a chat with Vanguard, also said universities are universal in nature and that appointments there should be devoid of ethnic and other sentiments. The union was reacting to the recent action by some people in Ile Ife who protested against the choice of a non-indigene as the VC of Obafemi Awolowo University. “They have taken universality out of the university system in the country. Assuming without conceding the fact, does it mean an ile Ife son has not been vice chancellor in any other university? That is the ridi

Thomas Tuchel's plan to put Dani Alves in spotlight is already working its magic on Reece James but there's another step which could hand the Cobham graduate a new permanent role James set for new role as Tuchel unlocks new Chelsea owners their own Dani Alves Dani Alves has offered an insight into Thomas Tuchel's plan which has transformed Reece James into one of Europe's leading right-backs. The 38-year-old veteran briefly worked alongside the Chelsea boss at Paris Saint-Germain, where he was handed his first run of successive appearances at the heart of midfield. Tuchel wanted to put the Brazil international into more dangerous positions — a principle which has seen James flourish since the German replaced Frank Lampard. Alves hinted that the Cobham graduate could one day follow a similar progression pathway under the Blues boss, which has already proved successful in the early stages. Alves then added by crediting the 22-year-old as one one the world's leading ri

Arsenal news and transfers LIVE: Darwin Nunez shortlisted, Rashford latest, £75m bid All the latest Arsenal news and transfer rumours as they happen in our live blog on Sunday SHARE Hello and welcome to football.london 's live Arsenal blog on Sunday. We're nearly a week away from the Gunners being back in action in the Premier League, having clinched a 1-0 win over Aston Villa last time out. It leaves Mikel Arteta and his men in fourth, three points ahead of North London rivals Tottenham with one game in hand. It puts the side in the driving seat for a Champions League place next season, but for now, they have to wait until they can resume their push. In the meantime, a number of players are away on international duty. Off the pitch, rumours continue to swell over the potential transfer activity ahead of the summer. Arteta and Edu are set for a big window that could see the Gunners continue their upwards momentum and we'll bring you the latest on that as it breaks. So, w

How Chelsea have fared after the international break this season ahead of Premier League run-in Thomas Tuchel and his Chelsea side have impressed for the majority of the season in all competitions, with the Blues currently sat in third. They are almost a certainty now for a top-four finish, despite pressure from the likes of Arsenal. It's not just the Premier League where the current European and world champions have business to attend to. Chelsea still have great chances to potentially defend their European crown and end their recent Wembley hoodoo. They face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final, a carbon copy of last season's semi-final, while Crystal Palace stand in the Blues' way of consecutive appearances in back to back FA Cup finals. But first, Tuchel will just be enjoying his rare time to unwind before thinking about the last stretch of this 2021/22 campaign that has really exploded for the club due to what has happened to Roman Abramovich off the field

Chelsea told exactly how much they would have to pay to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha The Brazilian winger has been heavily linked with a number of clubs for the summer, including the Blues Chelsea’s current transfer business may have been put on halt, but the Blues are still being linked with a number of players. One of which is Leeds United winger Raphinha, who has caught the eye of a few top teams in Europe. If Thomas Tuchel is hoping that his side can be a serious contender for the 25-year-old, then he will have to hope that the current ownership debacle is concluded in time for the summer. The west London outfit are currently unable to sign players, due to their current sporting licence after the UK Government placed sanctions on Russian owner Roman Abramovich.

THE Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Federal University Otuoke, FUO, has berated the federal government’s insistence on Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, IPPIS, against the  Universities Transparency Accountability Solution, UTAS, preferred by ASUU, saying that IPPIS has always been a conduit pipe for dissipation of resources. Chairperson of ASUU FUO chapter, Socrates Ebo, in a statement made available to newsmen in Yenagoa on Sunday, said a report of the Auditor-General of the Federation has shown that IPPIS is an ineffective, easily compromised payment platform. He also said a report by the National Information Technology Develop Agency, NITDA, rated UTAS as excellent adding that there was a plot to get back at ASUU amid the desperation to protect IPPIS. Ebo said: “IPPIS has always been a conduit pipe for dissipation of resources as the report of the Auditor-General of the Federation has abundantly shown. It is an ineffective, easily compromised payment

The Nigerians are Abdurrahman Ado Musa. Salihu Yusuf Adamu, Bashir Ali Yusuf, Muhammed Ibrahim Isa, Ibrahim Ali Alhassan, and Surajo Abubakar Muhammad.

FG claimed no money for varsities but built railway to Niger –ASUU The Academic Staff Union of Universities has again blamed the Federal Government for the ongoing strike in public universities. The union’s National President, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, stated in an interview with our correspondent that the government “went to sleep” for eight months after it completed negotiations with the union in May 2021. According to him, ASUU waited for actions from the government to no avail. Sunday lakevibez reports that ASUU had on Monday, March 14, 2022 announced an eight-week rollover of its four-week warning strike, which ended a day earlier. Speaking with Sunday PUNCH, Osodeke explained that the union embarked on the eight-week rolling strike to give the Federal Government “more time.” He said, “The initial idea was that the government would have met all the demands within the four weeks. But since the government said they could not meet up with our demands in four weeks, we said let us give t

Chelsea were out quickly from the blocks and could’ve taken the lead inside of five minutes. We didn’t, but we didn’t have to wait too long, thanks to a wonderful flowing move down the right — one of many on the day, especially in the first-half — Azpilicueta to Silva to Ziyech to Mount to Lukaku and into the back of the net. Boro’s response to going behind was commendable, and we played into their hands with a few mistakes in the defensive third. But Mendy still hardly had anything to do. And just when it looked like the home side’s ascendancy would result in something tangible, Ziyech produced another world-class goal from range, doing the goalkeeper dirty with an arrowed shot. As it turned out, that pretty much settled the game with just 30 minutes on the clock. Boro certainly tried to get back into the game in the second half, but Chelsea remained largely comfortable. Werner had a chance to put the game to bed a couple times, but first saw the goalkeeper make an excellent save on a

  Thomas Ricketts is chairman of the Chicago Cubs The Ricketts family, who own Major League Baseball team the Chicago Cubs, have confirmed they are leading a group of investors which will make a bid for Chelsea by Friday's deadline. The Ricketts have had a majority interest in the Cubs since 2009. BBC Sport understands the group bid also includes US hedge fund entrepreneur Ken Griffin. Roman Abramovich's attempt to sell the club has been halted after he was sanctioned by the UK government. That move came in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with Ambramovich understood to have strong ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. A statement from the Ricketts on Wednesday said they would share further details "in due course". "The Ricketts Family, owners of the Chicago Cubs, can confirm they will be leading an investment group that will make a formal bid for Chelsea this Friday," the statement read.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone was pelted with missiles including bottles after the final whistle at OId Trafford. Uefa is waiting for reports from match observers before deciding whether to charge the club. Throwing objects onto the field of play is against ground regulations and subject to a three year ban.

The result thwarted United's hopes of ending a five-year trophy drought, meaning they are on their longest run without silverware since the period between FA Cup wins in 1977 and 1983.
