Egypt rejects proposals to displace Palestinians

Egypt has rejected proposals to displace the Palestinian people in order to prevent the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and to avoid threatening the national security of countries in the region.

This was contained in a statement by the Egyptian presidency on Tuesday.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump infuriated the Arab world with a plan to permanently displace more than 2 million Palestinians from Gaza, assert U.S. control over the territory, and turn it into an international beach resort.

Egypt will host an emergency Arab League summit on March 4, focusing on Arab efforts to counter Trump’s plan and calls for Egypt and Jordan to resettle displaced Palestinians from Gaza.

Both countries have rejected the proposal, citing national security concerns.

Arab leaders held a meeting on Friday in Riyadh, attended by representatives from Gulf states, Egypt, and Jordan.

Palestinians fear a repeat of the 1948 catastrophe, during which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled or fled their homeland around the time of the establishment of the state of Israel.

The troops of Operation Fasan Yamma, OPFY, have intensified their operations against the bandit kingpin, Bello Turji, tracking his movements with precision as part of a strategic effort to eliminate him.

A reliable military source, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed that security forces have been closely monitoring Turji’s hideouts and activities, assuring that his reign of terror in the North West will soon be over.

According to the source, “Our intelligence is solid. Turji’s movements are no longer a secret to us. It’s only a matter of time before he is neutralized,” the source added.

DAILY POST reports that Bello Turji is the most wanted bandit leader by the military, responsible for numerous attacks, kidnappings, and killings across Zamfara, Sokoto, and Katsina States. The military’s renewed offensive, backed by air and ground operations, is tightening the noose around him.

The Federal University Gusau in Zamfara State has matriculated 2,229 students amid ravaging security challenges in the Northwest, emphasizing the need for vigilance within the institution.

The university’s management has been grappling with banditry, as bandits have repeatedly attacked the institution, kidnapping students and staff.

At the matriculation ceremony, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Muazu Abubakar, explained that out of 5,066 applicants, only 2,229 were admitted.

According to him, this is in line with the Federal Government’s policy, adding that science-related courses had the highest enrollment, with 1,030 students.

Abubakar urged the newly admitted students to remain vigilant and security-conscious in their daily activities.

The Vice-Chancellor emphasized the need for vigilance as 2,229 students matriculated, advising them to promptly report any suspicious movements or activities to security agents or university authorities.

“I want to assure you that your security and privacy will be guaranteed,” he stated.

Abubakar warned that the university would not tolerate any form of misconduct, stressing that infractions such as examination malpractice, cultism, sexual harassment, theft, and drug abuse would be met with strict penalties as outlined in the student handbook.

He further reminded the students that only those formally matriculated are recognized as authentic students of the institution, underscoring the importance of upholding both academic and moral standards.

“Degrees are conferred only on graduates who are found worthy in both character and learning,” he stated. “Between today’s matriculation and your convocation, you will face various academic and personal challenges. Overcoming them will earn you the right to wear the academic gown again.”

Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has described the just-concluded local government election in the state as a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Osun LG election, a waste of tax payers’ money — APC Chieftain

Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has described the just-concluded local government election in the state as a waste of taxpayers’ money.

DAILY POST recalls that the local government elections in Osun State were held on Saturday, February 22, 2025, across the 30 local government council areas and 332 wards.

Oyintiloye made these remarks while speaking with journalists on Tuesday in Osogbo.

He said that since the Court of Appeal in Akure reinstated the sacked APC council chairmen in its judgment, the conduct of the election was illegal and an exercise in futility.

The APC chieftain stated that, at the appropriate time, the state government would be asked to account for the money wasted on the election.

Oyintiloye, however, appealed to the Federal Government to release the monthly local government allocation to the reinstated APC chairmen in the state.

He said the allocation would enable the chairmen to fast-track development, which had been neglected at the grassroots since their purported sack in 2022.

According to Oyintiloye, since the chairmen have lost considerable time, with less than nine months left in their tenure, the timely release of the allocation would help them implement developmental projects at the grassroots.

Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, also commended the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for displaying a high level of professionalism in handling security issues and abuse of power in the state.

According to him, “Since 2022, when the chairmen were sacked, there has been no tangible development at the grassroots in the state.

“I want to appeal to the Federal Government to start releasing the monthly allocation to the reinstated APC council chairmen in the state from this month.

“The chairmen were unable to work since 2022 when they were sacked, but now that the Court of Appeal has reinstated them, the allocation should be released to them.

“This is the time for people at the grassroots to feel the impact of the government, which has been neglected since 2022.

“I also want to commend the Inspector-General of Police for ensuring peace in the state and for the professional manner in which he has handled security challenges,” he said.

Oyintiloye praised the council chairmen for resuming duty in their various councils despite intimidation and harassment by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He, however, urged local government staff to resume work.

“There is adequate security in place for them to contribute their quota as expected,” he added.

He further noted that the resumption of staff would enable the chairmen to settle down and deliver the dividends of democracy that the people at the grassroots have been yearning for.

DAILY POST recalls that Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, while swearing in the chairmen and deputies who emerged victorious in the local government elections on Saturday, urged them not to resume duty at the council secretariats on Monday (yesterday) to avert any violent clashes.

Meanwhile, the reinstated APC chairmen had issued a 72-hour deadline for local government workers to resume work or face termination of their appointments.

However, countering this directive, the Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), in a statement by its chairman, Christopher Arapasopo, maintained that the directive for workers not to resume at the local government secretariats remained in force.

Arapasopo stated that the directive remained operative as the lives and welfare of workers were paramount to the labor union.

Commissioner raises alarm over illegal schools, hospitals in Plateau

Kachollom Gang, the Commissioner for Education in Plateau State, has decried the increasing proliferation of illegal schools and hospitals in the state.

Gang made this statement on Tuesday in Jos during the inauguration of an investigative panel on the proliferation of private primary and secondary schools in the state.

The commissioner explained that the exercise aimed to ensure that private schools operating in the state met the required standards.

She particularly emphasized that the verification exercise was crucial to ensuring that children in Plateau received quality education.

“There are so many illegal schools and hospitals in Plateau; the state is really suffering from this anomaly.

“These are important sectors that contribute to the life of every individual. Health and education are critical to human existence.

“As you embark on this assignment, you must keep your eyes and ears open; there are many hidden schools that we don’t know about.

“We want to identify them and ensure they comply with regulations. This government is committed to fixing the education sector for the betterment of our children,” she said.

Gang, who warned members of the panel against “cutting corners,” urged them to be sincere in carrying out their assignment.

According to her, the exercise will improve the state’s revenue profile, and when private education and health institutions adhere to regulations, more funds will accrue to government coffers.
