Rivers SSG Warns Against Taking Governor Fubara’s Simplicity For Weakness
Rivers SSG warns against taking Governor Fubara’s simplicity for weakness. The Secretary to the Government of Rivers State (SSG), Dr Tammy Danagogo, has cautioned that Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s calm and peaceful approach to governance should not be mistaken for weakness. He warned amid criticism from opponents of the Governor, especially the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Opponents had criticised Danagogo’s role in Fubara’s administration, particularly his decision to sign the letter inviting lawmakers for a meeting with the Governor.
Wike had described Danagogo’s letter as “useless”.
Speaking with journalists during the commissioning of Okrika Grammar School in Okrika, Dr Danagogo argued that there was nothing wrong with the SSG writing a letter for an informal meeting.
He clarified that such communication was within his official responsibilities and not an overreach of his position. Danagogo, a lawyer from the Kalabari region, who also served as SSG during Wike’s second tenure as Governor, noted that he carried out similar duties under the former administration.
He emphasised that his response was not driven by political sentiment but by the need to set the record straight and counter misrepresentations.
Danagogo commended the Governor for his restraint in the face of provocation, particularly the recent incident where the state assembly complex was locked, preventing him from presenting the budget. He remarked that some past governors in similar situations might have resorted to drastic measures, but Fubara chose to maintain order.
He further assured Rivers people that the state government remains committed to their welfare and economic stability.
According to him, Governor Fubara’s reluctance to escalate tensions is rooted in his desire to avoid policies that could impoverish citizens.

Aisha Yesufu Asks NASS To Summon Tinubu Over Insecurity
Aisha Yesufu Asks NASS To Summon Tinubu Over Insecurity
Aisha Yesufu asks NASS to summon Tinubu over insecurity. The Co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls Movement, Aisha Yesufu, has urged the National Assembly to summon President Bola Tinubu to a joint session to explain what his administration is doing to protect Nigerians amid escalating insecurity across the country.
Yesufu made the call on Monday in an open letter addressed to federal lawmakers, where she also urged urgent legislative action to strengthen security agencies and address the underlying drivers of insecurity.
She also criticised the legislature for what she described as its passive response to the worsening situation, insisting that lawmakers must “wake up to their responsibilities” and act in the interest of the citizens.
Reacting to the spate of attacks nationwide, the human rights activist said, “We will not be silenced or intimidated. We will continue to demand accountability and good governance.”
She lamented that Nigerians were being “hunted like animals, abducted or killed in their places of worship, schools, on the roads, farms, markets, and even in their homes, where they ought to be safest,” stressing that “nowhere and no one is safe in the country.”
According to Yesufu, lawmakers have failed to stand with the people they represent. “With all of this happening, the National Assembly members have not deemed it fit to raise their collective voices for the people who sent them. Instead, they have raised their voices in defending the executive they should be holding accountable.”

She further expressed disappointment in the parliament’s performance, saying, “As a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I am dismayed and disappointed by the National Assembly’s failure to fulfil its constitutional duties.”
The activist noted that the National Assembly, as the highest legislative arm of government, should be the voice of the people, “but it has become a rubber-stamp Assembly, complicit in the country’s descent into chaos.”

UCH resident doctors resume work after month-long nationwide strike. Resident doctors at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, have resumed work after a month-long nationwide strike.
Resident doctors at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, have resumed work after a month-long nationwide strike.
The doctors had been on strike since November 1, following the directives of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors.
The NARD directed its members nationwide to embark on an indefinite strike, following the government’s failure to address their demands.
The association demands a 200 per cent increase in the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure and the full implementation of new allowances proposed since July 2022.
The doctors also demand immediate recruitment of clinical staff and the removal of bureaucratic bottlenecks that are delaying the replacement of exited doctors, among other demands.
The president of the UCH’s NARD, Gboyega Ajibola, said that the NARD National Executive Council met on November 29 to reappraise the situation. He noted that the government had met most of their immediate and short-term demands.
According to Mr Ajibola, a memorandum of understanding had been signed with the government, enumerating each of the association’s demands and the points of execution.
“Based on the satisfactory terms of the MoU, the NARD NEC decided to suspend the industrial action and give the government a period of four weeks to reappraise the efforts of the government as contained in the signed MoU.

Resident Doctors (NARD)
“Having suspended the strike on November 29, as in the tradition of NARD, each centre was mandated to hold a congress on December 1, for all centre presidents to brief their members on development.
“After the brief, the centre presidents will direct all members to resume at their duty posts. In compliance with this, a congress was held at 8:00 a.m. today (Monday), where members were updated and directed to resume work,” he said.
Mr Ajibola explained that all members resumed work on Monday.
