Nigeria: Govt Okays 11 New Private Universities in Nigeria

ZLP National Chairman Dan Nwanyanwu expressed concern over worsening political tensions in Rivers, Osun, and Lagos States, warning of potential dire consequences for the regions' stability and governance.
He cautioned that the impeachment of Governor Sim Fubara could lead to unrest reminiscent of past militant insurgencies in the Niger Delta.
Nwanyanwu raised concerns about the legitimacy of 27 defecting lawmakers in Rivers State and the questionable withholding of local government funds under President Tinubu's governance.
Nwanyanwu urged President Tinubu to address the situation promptly, emphasizing that political instability could further weaken Nigeria's democracy amid declining governance in West Africa.
