The frequent foreign medical trips of Buhari are not only unprecedented but also demonstrate his disinterest in improving the healthcare system of Nigeria. His preference for foreign, rather than local, treatment is unpatriotic and has exposed Nigeria to ridicule among the community of nations. It paints a poor picture of the country’s healthcare sector and casts doubt on the competence of local medical professionals before the world. Buhari’s foreign trips expose the hypocrisy of an administration that purports to promote local content by banning the importation of certain foreign items and claims it would no longer provide resources for government officials to travel abroad for medical attention. Foreign treatment by public officers should be restricted except for cases that cannot be handled in Nigeria.

The University of Ilorin, ASUU Chairman, Prof. Moyosore Ajao, raised the alarm at a special congress of the local branch held at the university’s main auditorium on Monday. “The only explanation for this is that the government is hell-bent on destroying ASUU in order to have the freedom to destroy public universities. “As a union of intellectuals, it is our historical responsibility to protect public universities from collapse and fight for the interest of our members as well as the interests of the Nigerian students.

Security services were out in force across China’s major cities Tuesday, which for the time being appeared to have quelled nationwide protests calling for political freedoms and an end to Covid lockdowns. The country’s leadership faced a weekend of protests not seen in decades as anger over unrelenting lockdowns fuelled deep-rooted frustration with its political system. A deadly fire last week in Urumqi, the capital of the northwestern region of Xinjiang, was the catalyst for the outrage, with protesters taking to the streets in cities around China. The demonstrators said Covid-19 restrictions were to blame for hampering rescue efforts, claims the government has denied as it accused “forces with ulterior motives” of linking the fire to the strict Covid controls. They kill more people than Covid,” one 17-year-old passer-by, who asked to be identified only as Ray, told AFP.
