 The federal government has re-traded its commitment to the process of converting the National Water Resources Institute into a full-fledged university. Nigeria's Minister of Water Resources stated these during the inauguration of the Hydraulic Modelling Center and other projects at the National Water Resources Institute in Mando, Kaduna State, northwest Nigeria. It stated that it is aimed at giving the nation another boost to save and clean water with other research institute projects for growth and development. Sulayman Adamo, the Minister of Water Resources, says the Hydraulic Modelling Center, students' hostels, an electoral theater and moves to strengthening capacity through improved infrastructure and appropriate funding for human capital development for the institute. The building is a responsibility that we have been building appropriately. Now the scaling up of this is some details we are adding to the technology and then making it easier for us to give the proper instructions in capacity building. If they are like this, now in terms of youth empowerment, we saw our firms and some of the things. Those things you saw fabricated were done from our office here. Everything you see there was fabricated here in our institute. I can tell you that no university has this in the country. I can say it anytime. I don't have it. So we are now upscaling. The only handicap is when some of these things we produce go out. It is not now our responsibility to market it properly because that is not what we are trying to do. Our system do research, put it in terms of reports sent to people who are interested in it or who ordinarily are responsible for collecting this and upscaling all the universities and polytechnics in the country on our mailing list of reports of our research. It involves quite a number of institutions, the Ministry of Education, the University's Commission, maybe getting the presidency also. And then there has to be a bill and it has to go to the Ministry of Justice and then before it goes to the National Assembly we need to interact also with the National Assembly. It is a long process but the process has started more than a year ago. I don't know exactly where we are now but I hope we can push it as far as we can go to a point of no return before the lifespan of this administration and hopefully the next administration will come up. Third Joint Health Sector Unions and Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations have issued a 15-day strike ultimatum over alleged inconsistencies by the federal government and the ongoing negotiations to address the consolidated health salary structure for health workers on their platforms. This was made known on Friday in a letter addressed to the Federal Ministry of Health and signed by the National Secretary Matthew Ajoro too. They noted that the Ministry had shown tendencies to shift from their great terms and rules of engagement relating to non-discrimination in the determination of the wages and benefit packages of health workers in Nigeria. While highlighting their demands, the union called on the federal government to consolidate on health salary structure as a grid in terms of the settlement of September 2017 which had lingered since 2014 among others.
