Tonto Dikeh Admits To Bleaching Skin
In a recent interview on
channels, the tattoo- loving actress confirmed the rumours making the
rounds that she was bleaching her skin. She says there's nothing wrong with skin bleaching as long as it's done well.
According to the controversial actress said, 'I don't have an opinion on it, I just feel we can do it the right way, it mustn't go wrong, it can be right".
She further explained that everyone had the choice to change their skin colour if they wished so. 'If you do not love your skin for some reason, you can change it'.
And when asked about the health
implications, Tonto advised 'You can do it and do it well. She said, "If you don't love your skin you can change it without worry. I use a lot of oil on my skin; and so far it is coming out fine. So, all I am
trying to do is enhance my colour though
I am already light skinned. It does not really matter if you bleach your skin, as long as you do it right".
ASUU Gives Up
The negotiations between the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government collapsed again yesterday as the lecturers have pulled out of the Governor Gabriel Suswam-led Committee on Needs Assessment of Nigerian Universities.
In a letter detailing its reasons for
withdrawing from the committee, ASUU said that the committee had not made progress on the issues for which it was set up, adding it was not satisfied with the way the N100 billion raised by government to rehabilitate structures in the universities was being managed.
Worse still, ASUU in the letter dated
August 26 and signed by its National President, Dr. Nasir Isa Fagge, accused the Suswam committee of not being, clear on its plans for managing the funds.
It cited the inclusion of a "Project
Administration Fund," even as it queried the manner which funds were allocated to universities slated to benefit from government's intervention.
The letter stated that, "we have also
noted albeit quizzically, that some
N1.975 billion was allocated to the 62nd university called Project Admin Cost.
"We see no justification for allocating an amount more than what is allocated to four universities put together to a bogus Project Admin Cost".
The striking
lecturers who had earlier announced their withdrawal from negotiations with the government, said that until the activities of the Suswam committee are carried out transparently and it's misgivings on the modus operandi of the committee are addressed, ASUU will not get return to the committee.
"In view of the foregoing, ASUU will be unable to continue in the membership of the committee until the issues raised are properly addressed", Fagge stated.
