The United States, US, President-elect, Donald Trump, has declared that he would prevent World War three from happening.
Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East upon assumption of office.

For the first time in 40 years, Trump’s inauguration will hold inside the US Capitol.
Trump explained that the inauguration was moved indoors due to the severe cold conditions.
The last time an inauguration was held indoors due to severe cold was in 1985 for former Republican President, Ronald Reagan’s second swearing-in.
Trump had said: “There is an Arctic blast sweeping the country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way.
“Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda.”

Nasarawa joint tertiary institutions union demands implementation of minimum wage
The Joint Union of Nasarawa State Tertiary Institutions (JUNSTI) has called on the state government to implement the payment of promotion arrears, an annual increment of N30,000, and the N70,500 minimum wage for workers in the state’s tertiary institutions with immediate effect. In a letter addressed to Governor Abdullahi Sule and dated January 15, 2025,
Nasarawa joint tertiary institutions union demands implementation of minimum wage
The Joint Union of Nasarawa State Tertiary Institutions (JUNSTI) has called on the state government to implement the payment of promotion arrears, an annual increment of N30,000, and the N70,500 minimum wage for workers in the state’s tertiary institutions with immediate effect.
In a letter addressed to Governor Abdullahi Sule and dated January 15, 2025, the union demanded that the issues be resolved alongside the January 2025 salaries or risk industrial action.
The letter, signed by JUNSTI Chairman Gbande Samson Kale, stated that several previous correspondences on the matter had gone unanswered.
“Your Excellency may recall that the union has written several letters dated November 11, 20, and 29, 2024, on critical pending issues affecting the institutions,” the letter read.
These issues, according to the union, include the non-implementation of the N30,000 annual increment, pending promotion arrears, and the agreed N70,500 minimum wage for three institutions in the state.
The union emphasized that the N70,500 minimum wage agreement had been signed with the state government and organized labor but had not been implemented.
“In light of the above, the union demands the implementation of these issues alongside the January 2025 salaries to avert industrial harmony,” the union warned.
JUNSTI’s ultimatum reflects growing among staff in the state’s tertiary institutions over what they describe as the government’s lack of commitment to honoring agreements.
Failure to address these demands, the union said, could lead to a shutdown of academic and administrative activities in the affected institutions.
The state government is yet to respond to the union’s letter at the time of filing this report.

Amnesty International demands probe into threats against Sokoto critic, Hamdiya
Amnesty International Nigeria has called on authorities to launch an impartial and transparent investigation into threats against Hamdiyya Sidi Shariff and her lawyer, Abba Hikima, amid an ongoing trial in Sokoto State.
Hamdiyya, who is facing charges of use of insulting or abusive language and inciting disturbance for allegedly criticizing Sokoto State Governor Ahmed Aliyu, has reportedly been subjected to threats and harassment.
According to Amnesty International’s Director, Isa Sanusi, the threats include intimidating phone calls, confrontations by suspected thugs, and surveillance by individuals claiming to be intelligence agents.
“These actions represent an alarming abuse of power and a calculated attempt to intimidate and punish those who speak out for their society and lawyers defending them,” Sanusi said in a statement issued on Sunday.
Sanusi disclosed that during the last court hearing, Barrister Hikima was forced to request armed police protection due to the hostile atmosphere in the courtroom.
The court approved the request, but further harassment reportedly occurred, including stalking at their hotel and intimidation.
Hamdiyya’s ordeal dates back to November 13, 2024, when she was abducted by armed men while retrieving her phone from a charging point. She was beaten, thrown out of a moving tricycle, and left with severe injuries.
Amnesty International condemned the Sokoto State government and security agencies for failing to address the threats and instead focusing on suppressing dissent.
“Instead of attempting to silence critics, Sokoto authorities should prioritize addressing the rampant insecurity affecting the eastern part of the state, where gunmen continue to kill, abduct, and displace residents,” Sanusi added.

Man arrested in connection with Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing
Police in Mumbai have arrested a suspect in the shocking knife attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan at his home last week.
The suspect, Mohammad Shariful Islam Shehzad, was arrested in Thane, on the outskirts of Mumbai.
Authorities allege that Shehzad, believed to be a Bangladeshi national staying in India illegally, intended to rob Khan.
Deputy Commissioner of Mumbai Police Dixit Gedam revealed that Shehzad had been living in Mumbai for six months, working at a housekeeping agency under a fake identity. On Sunday, a Mumbai court ordered him into five days of police custody.
The attack on Khan, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated stars, has dominated national headlines, raising concerns about security in Mumbai.
DAILY POST had reported that Khan sustained six stab wounds, including one near his neck, and underwent surgery.
His wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and their children were reportedly at home during the incident but were unharmed.
According to Eliyama Philip, a nurse employed at Khan’s home, the intruder entered late at night.
Armed with a wooden object and a blade, he demanded ₹10 million ($115,477) while warning against raising an alarm. A scuffle ensued, during which Philip was injured, and Khan was stabbed before the attacker fled.
Shehzad’s lawyer, Sandeep Shikhane, dismissed the allegations, claiming his client was being made a “scapegoat” and denying his Bangladeshi citizenship.
“There is no documentary evidence to support the claim that he is from Bangladesh,” Shikhane said.
Police reportedly detained and released five other individuals earlier in the week after CCTV footage captured the attacker leaving the scene.
