Tinubu Holds Closed-Door Meeting With Ganduje Amid Intensifying Kano Political Turmoil


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday held a private meeting with former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Details of the closed-door talks were not immediately disclosed to journalists; however, the meeting is widely believed to be connected to the rapidly evolving political developments in Kano State, where the political landscape has been thrown into uncertainty in recent days.

The meeting comes at a critical moment following the reported defection of Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, to the ruling APC—a development that has sparked intense political maneuvering, speculation, and realignment among key stakeholders in the state.

Observers say the convergence of President Tinubu and Ganduje at the Villa underscores the strategic importance of Kano in Nigeria’s national politics, given the state’s large voting population and its historical role as a political stronghold in the North.

Political analysts believe the discussions may focus on consolidating party structures, managing emerging alliances, and stabilizing the political situation in Kano amid shifting loyalties among political actors.

The unfolding developments have continued to generate reactions within political circles, as parties position themselves ahead of future electoral contests. Stakeholders are closely watching the next moves from both the presidency and APC leadership, particularly regarding how the party intends to navigate the ongoing turbulence in Kano politics.

As the situation evolves, the meeting between Tinubu and Ganduje is expected to shape the direction of political alignments in Kano and potentially influence broader national political calculations in the months ahead.

BREAKING: FG Approves 40% Pay Rise —Non-Academic Staff Left Out

Image
Nigeria’s university system has been thrown into fresh debate following confirmation that the Federal Government’s newly approved 40% salary increase applies strictly to lecturers, leaving non-academic university workers completely excluded from the landmark deal. The historic agreement, signed between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), ends a 16-year renegotiation stalemate and delivers a major financial boost to academic staff alone — professors, readers, senior lecturers, and other teaching personnel in federal universities. ZANCEN YAU 247 has gathered that , according  to official details of the agreement, the 40% increment is tied to the Consolidated University Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONUASS) and enhanced academic-specific allowances, particularly the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA) meant for research, publications, conferences, and teaching support.     ZANCEN YAU 247    has l...

Nigeria’s Ivory Towers in Ruins: An Investigative Look at the Dilapidated State of Nigerian Universities

Image
Across the country, Nigeria’s public universities — once proud centres of academic excellence — now tell a story of chronic neglect, crumbling infrastructure, and systemic failure.  Despite repeated government promises, reforms, and intervention funds, the reality on the ground remains stark: lecture halls are dilapidated, hostels overcrowded or unsafe, laboratories obsolete, and academic activity repeatedly disrupted by strikes and funding shortfalls. A Legacy Fading: What We Saw in the Country’s Premier Institutions At the University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s oldest university and once a symbol of academic strength, the decay is unmistakable. Cracked walls, leaking roofs, and peeling paint scar once-majestic buildings, even iconic landmarks such as Trenchard Hall. Frequent power outages force reliance on noisy, polluting generators. Road networks within the campus are potholed, and water scarcity undermines hygiene.  “We are trying to provide a world-class educat...

BREAKING: US Finally Withdraws from WHO

Image
The United States has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), a move that strips the UN health agency of one of its largest financial contributors and marks a major shift in global health diplomacy. The withdrawal follows an executive order signed a year ago by US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly accused the WHO of being overly “China-centric” in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision  ZANCEN YAU24  understood has now taken full effect, confirming the US exit from the global health body. In a statement, the US Department of Health and Human Services said the withdrawal was based on what it described as the WHO’s “mishandling” of the Covid-19 crisis, its failure to implement meaningful reforms, and what it called undue political influence from member states. ZANCEN YAU24 learned that the the World Health Organization has strongly rejected the allegations. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the US dec...
