Nigerian graduateThe call of a Nigerian graduate begins from here with younger family relatives looking ‘up to’, old family members looking ‘unto’, your classmates looking ‘into’ and you looking where to run to.With the growing trend of unemployment in the market, the world needs you to create jobs raising more employers to employees thereby stabilizing the nation’s economy. 
The Nigerian Graduate is a mother that just delivered her certificates. Your undergraduate days are your months of pregnancy. Every pregnant mother should be ready for delivery as nine months is pretty enough to give a tenant in an apartment a quit notice.
In the next 10 years, 20 years what will differ you from the others is your assignment and the problems you have been able to solve for mankind. In the next couple of months you will be refined and finished products of the university and the hope of a brighter and better Nigeria.
I want to challenge your  charisma, question your intellect and put a rebrand on your CV. The organization you admire today became multi-national because someone paid the price. 
If God has called you to full time ministry take a step, if it is to be an academic; go for it. If it’s to be an entrepreneur, then start on time. Forget about your GP or class – it is not the class you left school with that matters, it is the dream inside your heart. 
I see people of substance in this age that will not play it safe and win the game. I see Nigerian graduates that will turn the tides and make her black nation proud and also bring joy to the African continent.
I see our youths making history and becoming people of global excellence and international value.

Similarly, the UN diplomat is also expected to present a paper with the theme “Responding to Global Challenges in a fast-changing World: the Case for Strengthening Multilateralism” at the University of Abuja.

Barely five days after the kidnap of the Deputy Registrar of Taraba State University, Mr Sanusi Sa’ad, gunmen have again abducted a Permanent Secretary in the state.

Mrs Susana Jonathan of the State Ministry of Water Resources was captured in her house in Jalingo in the early hours of Sunday.

Some residents of the area claimed gunshots were heard from the men who whisked the permanent secretary away.

Confirming the development to Channels Television, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Alkasim Sanusi, said officers and men of the command are presently in a search operation to rescue her.

The Command also claimed that they are yet to receive any official report from the family on the incident.

Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party is planning to cause unrest in the state, in case the party’s victory at the election petitions tribunal is upturned by the Court of Appeal.

The allegations were contained in a statement the party’s spokesman, Kunle Oyatomi, made available to journalists in Osogbo, the state capital, on Sunday.

Oyatomi claimed that the PDP had been engaging in a smear campaign against the APC in order to blackmail justices of the Court of Appeal.

He said, “The PDP is spreading total falsehood that unidentified officials of the APC are boasting in public that they have settled those justices in Abuja to decide in favour of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

“This is not only an insidious blackmail of the respectable and honourable justices, the PDP is also attempting (with this false allegation) to disparage the integrity of the justices and instigate public skepticism, perhaps even rejection of the court’s decision, if it turns out not to be in PDP’s favour.”

Oyatomi warned that the PDP would be held responsible, if public order was breached as a result of the court’s decision.

“This is because the false allegation that the PDP is touting can potentially instigate violence,” he added.

The Katsina State Police Command has rescued 26 people from being burnt alive in Dandume Local Govt Area.

While addressing journalists in the state capital, the spokesperson for the Police Command, Mr Gambo Isah, said the would-be victims were saved from outlawed vigilantes known as Yansakai, in Rugar Kindi village.

According to him, the members of the group had stormed the village on motorcycles last Friday, burning houses.

The police spokesman described those targeted by the group as young males aged between 14 and 18 years, whom the Yansakai had claimed were bandits and had intended to burn alive.

“The police in synergy with other security agencies like the military and our friends, the local vigilante group in the area responded and rescued these young men who are between the ages of 14 years to 18 years.

“About 26 of them were rescued. At the same time, the outlawed Yansakai went to the police station and threatened to set the police station ablaze.

“They engaged the police officers and the military that was there into a gun duel. They were using this locally made Dane guns that are using plugs,” he stated.

No life was lost in the incident, owing to the intervention of security forces, but a policeman and a soldier were injured while rescuing the victims.
