Un petit pause – a French way of saying taking a small break. After four weeks of writing four diverse articles, I am taking a breath of fresh air and sharing a few readers’ comments to allow my opinions to be viewed from different perspectives for better comprehension. Granted, there are always issues of interest in Nigeria for Nigerians and their friends and foes, but we must digest each thoroughly to make informed decisions and chart the way forward. Happy reading   Kano Family Killing: Nigerian Youths and Collective Responsibilities   Dear Prof Othman, your article on Nigerian Youths and Collective Responsibilities is well composed because it contextualizes the dangerous trend whereby Nigerian society neglects its sacred responsibility for discipline and care for its valuable human assets, the youth.    The article also adopted appropriate nuances in explaining the problems of indiscipline among the teaming Nigerian youths with its devastating consequ...

A wave of public concern has emerged across Nigeria following reports that a Muslim female candidate in Ibadan was allegedly compelled to remove her hijab before being allowed to sit for the ongoing examinations conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Similar complaints from other examination centres have further intensified fears of possible religious discrimination within the country’s national testing system. The incident has quickly evolved from an isolated complaint into a broader national debate about constitutional rights, institutional responsibility, and the treatment of religious identity in public spaces—particularly within government-supervised examinations. Constitutional and Legal Implications At the heart of the controversy lies the question of whether the actions reported at the examination centre violated protections guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). Legal experts and civil righ...

The Federal Government has officially withdrawn terrorism financing charges previously filed against former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and his son, Abdul'aziz Malami. The development was disclosed in court on Wednesday by the prosecuting counsel, Akinlolu Kehinde, who informed the court that the government had decided to discontinue the terrorism-related allegations against the former minister and his son. However, Kehinde clarified that the Federal Government would proceed with other charges against Malami relating to alleged financial misconduct and the handling of illicit funds. This indicates that while the terrorism financing accusations have been dropped, the legal battle involving the former justice minister is far from over. Counsel to Malami, Shaibu Aruwa, confirmed the development before the presiding judge, Joyce Abdulmalik, stating that the defense team had received an amended charge sheet reflecting the chan...

The Presidency has announced that Nigeria’s economy is showing strong signs of recovery, with new projections indicating the country will record faster economic growth than several major global economies in 2026. According to the latest World Economic Outlook released in April 2026 by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Nigeria’s economy is projected to grow by 4.1 percent in 2026, surpassing the expected growth rates of the United States at 2.3 percent, the United Kingdom and Germany at 0.8 percent each, as well as South Africa at 1.0 percent. According to the report, the IMF further projected that Nigeria’s economy will expand by 4.3 percent in 2027, positioning the country among the strongest-performing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa over the next two years. Reacting to the report, presidential spokesperson and Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Daniel Bwala, attributed the positive outlook to ongoing economic reforms introduced b...

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has vowed that the opposition will bring an end to the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, drawing parallels with Nigeria’s historic struggle to end military rule. Atiku made the bold declaration while addressing party faithful at the national convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) held in Abuja. Speaking to a charged audience, the former presidential candidate asserted that the same determination Nigerians used to end decades of military governance would be applied to remove the current administration through democratic means. “Just as we successfully ended military rule in Nigeria, we will also end Tinubu’s government,” Atiku declared. He further alleged that intimidation or interference by the Federal Government and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would not prevent the ADC from securing victory in the 2027 general elections. Atiku expressed confidence in the party’s growing support base nat...

The Federal Government has announced a significant increase in electricity generation capacity following a massive financial intervention by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to official figures, power generation in the country has risen from 3,951 megawatts to approximately 4,300 megawatts, marking a notable improvement in the national electricity supply.

Government officials described the increase as an early sign that the administration’s investments are beginning to yield results, with expectations that further improvements will follow in the coming months. ⚡ According to the Federal Government, the boost in electricity generation is expected to positively impact households, businesses, and industries across the country, potentially reducing outages and supporting economic growth....

Fresh momentum has been injected into the fight against insecurity in Zamfara State following the presentation of new military aviation equipment, including an armed combat aircraft, with officials explaining how the assets will enhance surveillance operations and intensify the battle against bandits. The development occurred at the airport in Gusau, where Governor Dauda Lawal received a high-level delegation from the Nigerian Air Force as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen security collaboration in the state. During the visit, security officials showcased newly deployed air assets, including a weaponized aircraft designed to support intelligence gathering, aerial surveillance, and rapid-response operations against armed criminal groups operating in remote areas of the state. The equipment is expected to significantly improve operational efficiency and provide timely support to ground forces.

The High Court in Kano State has dismissed all corruption allegations previously filed against former Commissioner Murtala Sule Garo, effectively clearing him of any wrongdoing. The court’s decision comes at a time when political discussions and speculation are intensifying over the possibility of Garo emerging as the new Deputy Governor to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. Sources within the state’s political circle say the development may significantly shape ongoing consultations within the administration, as the legal clearance removes a major obstacle that could have hindered his potential nomination for higher office. Legal analysts note that the ruling reinforces the principle of due process and could strengthen Garo’s political standing ahead of any official announcement regarding changes in the state’s executive leadership. As of the time of filing this report, the Kano State Government has not issued an official statement confirming any plan to appoint a new deputy govern...

By Prof. MK Othman Hitherto, the journey toward higher education in this country has long been a test of endurance and sacrifice, especially for many families, whose dream of a university degree often comes at a steep price, forcing parents to make immense financial sacrifices. Still, some had to give up any form of education beyond primary school.  Long before the introduction of structured financial support systems, many bright young minds were held back by the harsh realities of economic hardship, where a lack of funds often meant deferring dreams or even leaving education altogether.  Looking back to the period from the late 1980s through the early 2000s—and even into the last decade—we see a clear picture of financial struggle among many university candidates and their parents. For those already in school, there were challenges with tuition fees, accommodation costs, feeding, and learning materials, all while inflation and currency fluctuations drove these cos...

The Zamfara State Executive Council has approved the allocation of landd for the construction of a modern Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Centers in partnership with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to prepare students for digital examinations and ensure they are not disadvantaged in national assessments. The approval is part of sweeping education reforms introduced by Governor Dauda Lawal to fully implement the State of Emergency on Education declared in 2023. Key measures approved include the establishment of a high-level education steering committee, a 120-day rapid intervention plan to rehabilitate schools and reduce out-of-school children, urgent actions to improve school security, workforce reforms to enhance efficiency, and plans to develop a unified education sector law. Officials described the decisions as a major step toward rebuilding and repositioning the education system in Zamfara State.
