Olympiacos sign Henry Onyekuru on permanent deal
Olympiacos FC have announced the signing of forward Henry Onyekuru from Ligue 1 club Monaco.
The 24-year-old Nigerian forward arrived in Greece to seal a permanent move on Saturday after spending last season on loan at Galatasaray.
Olympiacos have confirmed the signing of the 24-year-old star on their official website by stating: “Olympiacos have announced the acquisition of international ace, Henry Onyekuru.
“The Nigerian, born on June 5, 1997, in Lagos, has been acquired from Monaco after signing a four-year contract.
“Having spent five years at Aspire Academy, Onyekuru took the first big step in his career in 2015 by signing a contract with Eupen.
“His 30 goals in 60 games with the Belgian club attracted several clubs with Everton acquiring his services in 2017. The Nigerian spent the next two seasons on loan at Anderlecht (28 assists, 10 goals) and Galatasaray (31 assists and 14 goals) respectively.”
Speaking after signing for the team, Onyekuru said: “I know it is a big club in Greece, one of the biggest and they have good ambition and target every season and they are always in the Champions League.
“I also know of two Nigerians who played here before and I am just here to contribute and keep on pushing and also to be champions countless times, achieve more goals and aims with the club.
On June 30, 2017, Onyekuru joined Premier League side, Everton, for £7 million and was immediately loaned out to Anderlecht where he was handed the number 9 jersey.
Onyekuru, who made his debut for the Super Eagles in a 3-0 friendly win over Togo on June 1, 2017, is part of the key players for head coach Gernot Rohr ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches in September.

Activist, students arrested for protesting tuition fee hike in UI
Activist, students arrested for protesting tuition fee hike in UI
Security personnel at the University of Ibadan apprehended three individuals, including an activist, during a protest against the rise in school fees.
The detained students are Aduwo Ayodele and Nice Linus, alongside activist Femi Adeyeye. Their arrest on Monday morning stemmed from objections to the recent tuition fee increase.
According to Sahara Reporters, they were being held at the university’s security post.
Attempts to contact the school administration for comments were unsuccessful.
In April, the UI Students’ Union Executive Council, led by Samuel Samson Tobiloba, criticized the 750% tuition hike for new students.

The council urged an immediate reversal of the increment and sought a meeting with the university management to address the issue. The student union’s stance was prompted by the updated fees displayed on the students’ portal, ranging from N133,500 to N372,500 depending on the courses.
“We note with concern that this increment represents about 450% to 750% of the previous bundle fee which ranged from about N20,000 to N30,000,” the students’ body said, noting that it was not in support of the increment.
It, however, advised fresh students to exercise patience and not rush to pay the new fee.
It condemned the “increment in strong terms, and requested that this proposed increment be reverted to the status quo”.
“We are also requesting for a meeting with the University Management towards resolving this issue,” it said.
