The Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has suspended Mbazulike Iloka, Transition Chairman of Nnewi North Local Government Area, over the hazy circumstances surrounding the death of his wife, Chidiebere Iloka.

She was said to have collapsed and died on August 7, but some allege that she was a victim of domestic violence.

Tony Collins Neabunwanne, Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Community Affairs, who signed the suspension letter, said Mbazulike had to be suspended to make room for an unfettered investigation of the incident.

The letter read: “Following the sad and sudden death of your wife, the late Mrs. Chidiebere Iloka on August 7, there has been a massive public outcry over the circumstances leading to the cause of her death, including alleged possible homicide.

“While you are presumed innocent until the completion of the investigation, it has become imperative that you step aside to allow for unfettered investigation.

“Consequently, you are directed to step aside and hand over the affairs of the local council to the Head of Local Government Administration not later than August 12, until further notice.”

Mazulike was sworn in alongside 20 other transition committee chairmen on August 2, 2022.

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.
