Award winning Nigerian actress, Omotola Ekeinde, has berated the Federal Government over the lingering industrial action by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

Omotola, who in April made the Time’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world, took to her Facebook and Twitter accounts on Tuesday to express anger at the way the Federal Government is handling education in the country.

The United Nations World Food Programme Ambassador, who commands a following of 1,163,835 and 277, 040 on Facebook and Twitter respectively, wrote that government has a responsibility to provide qualitative education to the citizenry.

She painted Nigeria as a sleeping giant and lamented that with the ongoing strike the youths were simply “wasting away.”

The actress said education “is a right and not a privilege” and urged the affected Nigerian students to stand up for their rights and take actions to right the wrongs in the nation’s education system.

She wrote, “Education is a right, not a privilege. This should be the first responsibility of every parent, state and country to their child. Why are students of the most populous black nation in the world, ‘Giant of Africa,’ not in school?

“Where are all the educational funds? Why is there a crippling silence when Nigerian schools have been shut for almost four months and the youths are wasting away with their future uncertain? Barka de Sallah. As we pray, eat and relax on the occasion of this holiday, our youths should spare sometime to think. Youths, your destiny is in your hand.”

Her fans appear to have been challenged by her online crusade. They lauded Omotola, who broke into trending topics on the Nigerian social media space on Tuesday, for being the first Nigerian celebrity to speak out against the ASUU debacle.

A particular Facebook fan of Omotola, Esther Ukeh-Negbo, wrote, “We thank you for coming out to support the youths.

Other celebrities are busy wearing the latest designers to red carpet events. It is not their fault, they are not in our shoes. You have proved yourself to be a good mother who feels the pains of others. I hope to follow in your footsteps in the future.”

Appreciating the actress for her concern, Chukwuemeka Nwaeze, said on Facebook that it was high time the government took education as a toppriority as it obtains in other parts of the world.

Nwaeze said, “Omosexy please tell our leaders. As you can see, our government has deprived us this basic rights because of their misplaced priority. May God help us in this nation. Our leaders should know that education is a top priority anywhere in the world.

Thank you, my sister, for bringing up this issue.” Some university students affected by the strike observed that the political class were paying lip service to the educational sector because many of their children were getting the best of education abroad.

Many of Omotola’s social media followers lamented that it was pathetic and disgraceful that some African countries were getting it right while the Nigerian government had largely preoccupied itself with entering into agreements without honouring them.

A Twitter user with the name Elpresie wrote, “Their children are in private schools in London and in various western countries. We should ask the FG why our future leaders are wasting away in peril. It’s sad.

You pick up a newspaper and all you read about is the Peoples Democratic Party’s internal crisis.”

They also blamed the dwindling voice of the mass of Nigerian students on government who, according to them, has broken into their ranks to achieve selfish objectives.

“Some universities don’t even have a students’ union. Some do have but they have been bought over,” a Twitter user, Bukkie Gold, wrote.

While some of Omotola’s fans asked ASUU to continue with the strike, a section of her followers disagreed, saying the university teachers were asking for too much.

One Julie Ooja-Okoh wrote on Twitter that the strike action was in order and should continue until government shows readiness to adequately fund the education sector. “Omo sexy, see me o.

Imagine a university where you have to hang on the window to study, take lectures and write exams in that same position to pass.”

But another Twitter user, Saltz Lounge, who believed that ASUU has taken the industrial dispute too far, said, “It’s not that the government is right as regards development in education system but at this point I think ASUU has over-pushed its demands. Has anybody ever asked why state university lecturers are involved in this strike action?”

Malala Yousafzai  known as the bravest girl in the world may not have won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, but she enjoyed a private Oval Office audience with President Obama and the first family.

Yousafzai, the 16-year-old Pakistani student who was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen for speaking out in support of the right of girls to go to school, met Friday with Obama and his wife, Michelle. A photograph issued by the White House shows the Obamas' 15-year-old daughter, Malia, also present during the visit.

The Obamas welcomed Yousafzai to the Oval Office "to thank her for her inspiring and passionate work on behalf of girls education in Pakistan," according to a statement issued by the White House.

The statement added, "The United States joins with the Pakistani people and so many around the world to celebrate Malala's courage and her determination to promote the right of all girls to attend school and realize their dreams."

Yousafzai said she was honored to meet Obama and that she raised concerns with him about the administration's use of drones, saying they are "fueling terrorism."

"I thanked President Obama for the United States' work in supporting education in Pakistan and Afghanistan and for Syrian refugees," Yousafzai said in a statement published by the Associated Press. "I also expressed my concerns that drone attacks are fueling terrorism. Innocent victims are killed in these acts, and they lead to resentment among the Pakistani people. If we refocus efforts on education it will make a big impact."

The Pakistani teen was in Washington on Friday for an address at the World Bank, part of her U.S. visit to promote her new memoir, "I Am Malala."

Presiding officers of the National Assembly have rejected the official houses built for them by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

The officers include; Senate President, David Mark, House of Representatives Speaker, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha.
According to them, insecurity and delay in the provision of infrastructure were the reasons behind their refusal.FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed, at the weekend, disclosed that following the development, the Ministry consequently discontinued the construction of the N3 billion official houses.

The project, being handled by Julius Berger, is located at the Maitama Extension (renamed Goodluck Jonathan District), behind Lungi Military Barracks.
The FCTA last year proposed to spend N1.5 billion on construction of the new official houses for the National Assembly’s presiding officers as well as another N1 billion for the completion of the official residence of the Vice President.
During the 2012 budget defense session before the House of Representatives Committee on FCT, Mohammed said the total cost of the project was N3.044 billion.
He said while N324 million was appropriated in 2011 for the buildings, only N146millionhad been expended, leaving a balance of N178 million. He explained that for 2012, N1.5 billion would be required for the project.

Mohammed said that the National Assembly’s presiding officers that would benefit from the new residences were the Senate President and his Deputy as well as the Speaker of the House and his Deputy.
For the vice president’s residence, the Minister said N2.452 billion was required to complete the project, which was already 66. 8 per cent completed last year.
Citing insecurity as a reason , the Minister in February 2011 told the parliament during a budget defense that four principal officers of the National Assembly would benefit from a new set of residential accommodation being planned by the FCTA at the Maitama Extension Area in Abuja.
His word: “The National Assembly is the highest democratic body we have apart from the Presidency. And the National Assembly complex at Apo has been sold out to the public. The place is being inhabited by all sorts of people. Leaving them there will expose them to the vagaries of the society. And anybody can be a principal officer; so whoever is there and you leave him there, you are not being fair to him.”

On why the government was embarking on the multimillion naira project when the principal officers were already accommodated at the Apo Legislative Quarters in Abuja, the Minister had told the Sixth Assembly FCT Committee that the decision was predicated on the insecurity in Abuja and some parts of the country.
“Our decision is taken out of a sheer sense of responsibility. But with responsibility comes the issue of security, the issue of the latitude and leverage which officers holding certain offices must have.
“The National Assembly is the highest democratic body we have apart from the Presidency. And the National Assembly complex has been sold out to the public. The place is being inhabited by all sorts of people.

“We were there on inspection and so we cannot guarantee the safety and security of principal officers of the National Assembly who take decisions on very serious and sometimes critical issues that may impinge on the sensibilities, perception and feelings of others. We must, as a government, protect the principal officers of the National Assembly.
“Leaving them there will expose them to the vagaries of the society. And anybody can be a principal officer; so whoever is there and you leave him there, you are not being fair to him. That is why government decided that as a second tier of government, we will go to an area which is secure and safe for our principal officers to live”, the minister had said.
But fielding questions last weekend on the progress made so far on the project, the Minister, represented by the FCDA Director of Public Building, Bernard Lot, said work had already begun on the project before the recent rejection of the area by the principal officers.
“You will recall that we had started that project, and there is a contractor carrying out the road work. You can actually access the place because the contractor has actually commenced work and has also done reasonably well on that.
“But that too was affected by budgetary provisions. You know government has dwindling resources, but there is an issue there because development is not taking place fast in that area. And so the principal officers of the National Assembly have said that they don’t want that place because of the current security situation in the country.
“Though it is behind the army barracks, we cannot isolate them there, and government in its own wisdom has said that since they don’t want it, the authorities have decided to convert the buildings to guest houses and scale down the initial cost of the project. That is what we are doing now. We are scaling down the cost of the project to serve as guest houses to the principal officers of the National Assembly.
“As for their new residences, you are all aware that we have already cleared a new site located in the Three Arms Zone in the Central Area.

The President has already given his anticipatory approval and the contractor has been asked to commence work on the project,” he said.

On the Vice President’s residence, the Minister explained that paucity of funds in the 2012 budget was responsible for the delay in the completion of the project.
“For a whole year (2012), there was no budget for that project but under 2013, we had an appropriation and the contractor is working. We had a cause to seek a variation on the contract to implement the second phase of the project. But it was stood down on the grounds that no project will have a variation above 15 per cent.
“So, we are having an implementation strategy to ensure that we complete that project on time, including the very essential aspects of the work, including the holding, gatehouse, bedroom, storage, among others.
“The contract is ongoing and we are going to complete the contract while we leave the issue of furnishing. The issue of furnishing is part of the phase two of the project such as the banquet hall, guest houses, and some security installations which are very vital for the vice president to live in because of the current security situation in the FCT,” he said.
