The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has barred government officials from participating in the burial programmes of its former president, Festus Iyayi.
The union is also demanding that an autopsy be performed on the corpse of Iyayi, to determine the actual cause of death.
The autopsy demand followed controversy over the actual cause of the death of the late ASUU activist.
A statement issued by the UNIBEN ASUU chapter, stated: "Professor Festus Iyayi did not just die in an accident but that he was willfully murdered by the state and its agents."

The union added that at the appropriate time, ASUU and Prof. Iyayi's family would demand concrete answers from the state for his murder.
The statement which was signed by the union's chairman and secretary, Dr. Anthony Monye-Emina and Okeri Henry, respectively, said it was aware that there were deliberate steps being taken by the state and its agents to distort the facts of the 'accident' as it happened.

"This started with the reckless and irresponsible press statement that was issued by the Kogi State Government to try to explain away the killing of Professor Iyayi, and there are further attempts to conceal and distort available evidence. We shall of course meet them with the facts," the statement said.
The union while barring government officials from Iyayi's burial arrangements, said it and Iyayi's family were capable of giving the late professor a befitting burial he deserves.
The union also assured that Governor Idris Wada and those responsible for the accident that claimed the life of Iyayi would be made to face trial.

Commenting on ASUU's statement, a spokesman for the Iyayi family, Prof. Robert Ebewele, explained that the issue of autopsy was ASUU's affair and that the family would go on with burial plans for Iyayi earlier slated for the first week of December.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), says it has not taken a categorical stand on Stephen Keshi heading Nigeria’s coaching crew to the Brazil 2014 World Cup.

Nigeria’s sports minister, Bolaji Abdullahi last week announced that a “foreign technical assistant” will be drafted in to the Super Eagles backroom staff if Keshi makes such a request.

The NFF has now revealed that no decision has been reached in that regard as the federation was still in the process of appraising the performance of all the coaches under its employ.

“The minister (for Sport) has been like a father. He means well and I am sure his words are aimed at improving our national team even more. What he said was advisory and we are full of gratitude to him,” NFF’s technical committee chairman, Barrister Chris Green told supersport.com.

Green also revealed that the technical committee of the NFF would meet soon to reach a definite conclusion on the matter.

“Right now, we are still appraising what has been done so far and we have yet to come to any conclusion as to whether the team needs an assistant or not.

“However, all the coaches we have appointed for all our national teams have done very well in their various roles.

“However, we are always looking to improve and get to the very best level so as to favourably challenge the very best in the world,” he said.

NFF president, Alhaji Aminu Maigari also discussed the issue with supersport.com.

“I am impressed with Keshi and all the national team coaches but I cannot make unilateral decisions.

“The technical committee of the federation will meet and recommendations will then be ratified by the executive committee,” he said.

A newborn boy covered in bright clothing put in the polythene case was left at the back-yard of a compound in Jemtok Block, along Ago-Palace Way, Okota, Lagos.The baby was believed to have been left by an unknown person, probably a mother. He was discovered at around 8p.m. on Nov 24, 2013, Sunday. It was unfortunate that the child was already dead before it was seen. The child apparently died of suffocation, while placed in the case, due to insufficient oxygen. Whoever committed such offense, he/she should be punished.

“I confirm that some non-indigenous entities continue to be operating in the reserved sectors and there's a deadline of January 1 in order for them to adhere to the requirement to relinquish in that sector,” Mr. Magosvongwe said in his answer a concern from the lawmaker.

He also noted that full compliance measures happen to be underway, adding that the administration will undoubtedly be ruthless against any foreigner that is caught flouting the newest edict:

“You'll realise, Mr. Chairman, that 1st of January is a month ahead and we're setting up measures for enforcement in case that they don't comply.”

The minister later revealed that the  government is in the process of identifying indigenous Zimbabweans who would dominate ownership of confiscated ventures in the reserved sector.
It will be recalled that the  government of the dreaded Mugabe forcely deported all white farmers from the country in early 2000, a move that has been widely criticised by Western governments.
