Must ReadThe National Association of Nigerian Students NANS has initiated a 90-day nationwide review of Tertiary Education Trust Fund TETFund projects. This action follows increasing concerns regarding alleged project abandonment, poor execution, and delayed delivery of interventions in tertiary institutions across Nigeria. NANS has formed an independent committee to assess, verify, and monitor TETFund intervention projects, investigating their implementation and impact. NANS President, Akinteye Babatunde, stated that the decision was prompted by persistent complaints about the quality and completion of TETFund-funded projects. The association highlighted concerns that despite significant government investment through TETFund, projects might not be delivered as approved, and students may not be receiving the intended benefits. The committee will tour universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education to independently verify project status and assess their impact on teaching, learning, and student welfare. The exercise also aims to enhance transparency and accountability in managing public funds for tertiary education. The committee, chaired by Salahudeen A. Lukman, with members Okereke Godson Bishop, Dominic Philip, Odiahi Thomas Ikhine, Wande T. Ajayi, Ibrahim A. Ibrahim, and secretary Gambo Abubakar, is expected to submit its findings and recommendations within 90 days.

The Lagos State Government has initiated a new environmental program to address climate change and rising urban temperatures, pledging to plant 500 trees across the state. This announcement was made during the 2026 World Environment Day celebration in Alausa, where officials highlighted the increasing heat-related risks due to rapid urbanization and climate change. Olalekan Rotimi-Akodu, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Environment, advocated for nature-based solutions like tree planting and urban greening to enhance climate resilience. He noted that Lagos, as Africa's most populous city, faces growing threats from extreme heat, flooding, and sea-level rise, which could impact public health, productivity, air quality, and energy demand. The state has formally joined the United Nations Environment Programme’s global "50 Cities at 50°C" campaign, participating under the theme "50 Cities at 50°C: Lagos Rising Against the Urban Heat Island." Additionally, Lagos launched the "Me and My Tree" stewardship program, distributing 500 free tree seedlings and offering a N2.5 million cash prize for the best-performing tree after one year. This initiative builds on a long-running urban greening program that has seen over seven million trees planted since 2009. The state is also investing in mass transit infrastructure to reduce emissions and traffic congestion. Mahamood Adegbite, Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services, emphasized the urgency of tackling climate change, noti
Must ReadResearchers on Monday warned that nuclear-armed states are increasing the deployment of their weapons, leading to a heightened risk in global politics. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute SIPRI reported an estimated total of 12,187 warheads globally, with approximately 9,745 in stockpiles for potential use. While this marks a marginal decrease from the previous year due to the dismantling of older warheads since the Cold War, SIPRI director Karim Haggag noted that the level of nuclear dangers is rising. SIPRI predicts a reversal in the trend of declining nuclear arms stockpiles, with the pace of dismantlement slowing and new weapon deployment accelerating. Haggag highlighted the breakdown of strategic arms control agreements and increased competition among great powers as worrying signs. The United States and Russia collectively possess about 83 percent of the world's nuclear arms, each with over 5,000 warheads, and both are modernizing their arsenals despite challenges. China is expanding its nuclear arsenal faster than any other nation, with an estimated 620 warheads, and could match the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles held by the US and Russia by 2030. India has slightly expanded its arsenal to 190 warheads, while Pakistan's remains stable at 170 but continues to accumulate fissile material. North Korea is also expanding its arsenal, estimated at 60 warheads, and Israel is believed to be modernizing its estimated 90 warheads.
