The University of Port Harcourt has promoted the Director General of NESREA, Innocent Barikor, to a Professor of Political Economy and Development Studies.

His promotion came alongside that of 45 other staff members of the institution.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Vice Chancellor of the Institution, Onwunari Georgewill, disclosed that the promotion of Barikor and 45 other staff of the school was approved during the 187th meeting of the Governing Council, chaired by the Pro-Chancellor of the institution and Chairman, Mao Ohuabunwa.

“Prof. Georgewill further stated that 30 senior academics were promoted to the rank of Professor, and 16 others to associate professor after undergoing the rigorous assessment process set up by the university,” the statement read.

Barikor assumed office as the Director General of NESREA in May 2024.

Since he assumed office, he has recorded remarkable progress in promoting environmental sustainability in the country.

“Under his committed leadership, the Agency is vigorously implementing the Extended Producer Responsibility Programme in the Food and Beverage, Battery, Used Tyres, and Electrical/ Electronics sectors. He championed the development of key legislation to promote environmental governance, including the National Environmental (Battery Control) Regulations 2024, the development of National Guidelines for the Implementation of EPR for (Plastic) Packaging, and the National Environmental (Plastic Waste Control) Regulations, which is awaiting gazette.

“Prof. Barikor, among numerous achievements, also supervised the review of the National Environmental (Permitting and Licensing Systems) Regulations 2009; and the National Environmental (International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora) Regulations 2011. Under him, the agency carried out 1,671 Compliance monitoring inspections/visits to various facilities and a total of 96 facilities shut down for environmental infractions. To achieve greater efficiency and take environmental governance close to the grassroots, he unbundled NESREA offices in key states of the federation.

“With the support of the Fleming Fund, funded by UKAid, and implemented through Management Sciences for Health MSH and the Food and Agricultural Organisation, he is equipping the National Reference Laboratory Port-Harcourt with State-of-the-art equipment for environmental research and laboratory investigations and installation of a 30Kva solar power system designed to provide 24hrs power supply to the laboratory.

“The agency in March this year, launched a National Industrial Decarbonisation Programme with the aim of tackling emissions from the industrial sector and other sources, and also hosted an International Conference on Upgrading the Lead-Battery Recycling Sector in the African Region, under the Partnership for Responsible Battery and Metal Recycling. He has provided the needed zeal and dedication to attract support from international partners such as the European Union, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the German and Japanese Governments, the African Center for Protection, and the Elephant Protection Initiative Foundation,” the statement added.

Troops of the special military task force, Operation Safe Haven, have arrested two suspected killers of Rev. Fr. Sylvester Okechukwu.

This is contained in a statement issued by the OPSH media officer, Maj. Samson Zhakom, on Wednesday in Jos.

The News Agency of Nigeria repots that Okechukwu, a priest of the Catholic Diocese of Kafachan, Kaduna State, was abducted on March 4, at about 9:15 p.m.

Okechukwu, who was abducted at his residence in Tachira, Kaura Local Government Area of the state, was later found dead on March 5.

Zhakom said that the suspects were arrested on Tuesday following a raid by troops in a settlement at the Warsa-Piti community of Lere LGA of the state.

He stated, “The suspects were arrested following a raid on the prime suspect’s hideout located at a Ruga settlement in Warsa-Piti community, following a raid by troops in a settlement at the Lere LGA of Kaduna State.

During preliminary investigation, the prime suspect, a 33-year-old man, confessed to having been contracted by another man, living in the same house as the slain priest, to kidnap him.

He added, “Troops in a follow-up operation arrested the suspect at Agwan Sarki, Tachira in Kaura LGA.

“The suspects are in custody undergoing further interrogation,” he said.

The media officer said that investigations were still ongoing to unravel the whereabouts of the remaining persons who participated in the heinous crime.

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has lauded the Super Eagles for their resilience and sportsmanship in Tuesday’s FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Zimbabwe.

In a post on X.com on Wednesday, Obi, who travelled to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, to witness the match firsthand, praised the players for their dedication and fighting spirit.

He wrote, “Yesterday, I travelled to Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital, where I joined a host of other sport-enthusiastic Nigerians to support The Super Eagles as they played the Warriors of Zimbabwe in their sixth match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match.

“As usual, our team demonstrated the true Nigerian spirit of strength, resilience and dedication on the field of play. Football, and indeed sports, has remained a strong unifying factor for our nation battling with disunity.”

He added that while the Super Eagles did not secure the win, their determination and sportsmanship had won the hearts of Nigerians.

While we may not have clinched the victory on the field of play, our dear players have, again, won our hearts with their obvious display of sportsmanship.

“I sincerely appreciate our dear national football team and, indeed, everyone whose efforts and sacrifices got us far in this journey. Our labours were not in vain,” he wrote.

PUNCH Online reports that Nigeria’s hopes of reaching the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico suffered another setback on Tuesday with a potentially damaging 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

After enduring a frustrating first half, Victor Osimhen broke the deadlock for Nigeria in the 74th minute of the game but Eric Chelle’s men couldn’t hold on to their lead as they were pegged back by the visitors in stoppage time.

Nigerian football fans also expressed mixed reactions following the Super Eagles’ disappointing home draw, with many pointing out the team’s lack of coordination, poor finishing, and reliance on individual talent.
