A High Court in Abuja has sacked Labour Party Chairman, Julius Abure and other National Officers from Office moments ago.

It was earlier reported that crisis trails Labour Party’s suspension of Julius Abure, its national chairman, by the executive members of his ward in Edo State, on Friday.

Even as it has become evident that the internal crisis in the Labour Party appears not to be ending soon, it was gathered that a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory FCT earlier today issued an order restraining the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure, National Secretary, Alhaji Farouk Ibrahim and two others from parading themselves as National Officers of the party.

Others stopped from parading themselves as National Officers are the National Organizi Secretary, Mr Clement Ojukwu and one other.

Justice Hamza Muazu issued the restraining order on Wednesday in Abuja while ruling in ex-parte application argued by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN, Chief James Ogwu Onoja.

Onoja had in the application informed the court how the restrained national officers allegedly forged several documents of the FCT High Court to carry out unlawful substitutions in the last general election.

Among the documents were the receipts, seal and affidavits of the Court to carry out criminal activities.

The Senior lawyer who tendered several documents confirmed to the judge that the Chief Registrar of the Court wrote the Labour Party to disown several documents used for the alleged criminal activities by Abure and three others.

Onoja said that following their indictment by police investigation, the four people are to be arraigned in court adding that warrants for their arrest have already been obtained.

In a brief ruling, Justice Muazu held that the application and the supporting affidavits have out a good case for the request to be granted.

The Judge subsequently ordered that the four people should immediately stop parading themselves as National Officers of Labour Party.

Meanwhile as at the time of filing this report, Labour Party is yet to respond to the recent developement.

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has announced the removal of the 18-year age limit for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

He also indicated the possibility of a comprehensive review of the nation’s education policy.

However, Alausa made it clear that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to invalidate over 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from unrecognized universities in neighboring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Speaking at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Alausa emphasized that practical education is key to tackling Nigeria’s unemployment crisis. He stated that tertiary institutions must stop producing graduates without ensuring job opportunities for them.

The minister also revealed plans for the federal government to partner with private sector players to provide training opportunities for students and help them realize their full potential.

Additionally, Alausa announced that universities focused on agriculture would be empowered to implement commercial farming practices as part of efforts to address the country’s food security challenges.
