Prof. Joy Ezeilo (SAN), a former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Trafficking and ex-Dean of Law at the University of Nigeria, Enugu, has applauded the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for acknowledging its role in the poor performance of candidates in the recently concluded 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). She expressed strong reservations about the narrative that more than 60% of students failed due to a lack of intellectual capability or an alleged disinterest in academics among Nigeria’s younger generation. Prof. Ezeilo’s response followed the disclosure by JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who conceded that administrative and technological lapses contributed to the subpar results in the 2025 UTME. According to reports, out of approximately 1.9 million UTME candidates, over 1.5 million scored below 200 out of the total 400 marks — a development that has sparked nationwide debate among educators and stakeholders in the education sector. In an exclusive interview with LMSINT MEDIA on Wednesday, Prof. Ezeilo emphasized that while technological innovation in exam administration is necessary, its implementation must be strategic and inclusive. “The decision by JAMB to accept responsibility is worthy of commendation. The technological transition clearly affected the outcomes, especially for students unfamiliar with the new system,” she remarked. She stressed that Nigeria’s deeply rooted socio-economic disparities — including those based on wealth, geography (urban vs rural), and gender — must be carefully considered before enforcing major digital reforms in education. “In rural communities and among female students, access to digital tools and exposure to modern technology is still limited. This digital divide significantly impairs both the comprehension and application of tech-based exam formats,” she explained. From her perspective as an academic, Prof. Ezeilo said it’s unthinkable to attribute such a high failure rate to the intellectual limitations of students or to claim that Nigerian youths are losing interest in education. She advocated for a gradual transition to digital exams, suggesting a flexible hybrid model that allows students to choose between manual and digital formats. According to her, a complete shift should take at least five to ten years, allowing the system to adjust without marginalizing any group. “Gradual integration of technology will facilitate a smoother shift and ensure fairness across the board,” she concluded.

Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has voiced concern over the state’s failure to benefit financially from its abundant solid mineral resources, stating that no revenue is currently being earned despite their availability. In an interview aired on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Governor Lawal disclosed: “At this moment, Zamfara State receives absolutely no income from its solid mineral assets, which is truly regrettable.” He expressed optimism regarding the Federal Government’s recent decision to lift the restriction on mining activities, emphasizing its importance in encouraging private investment in the underutilized mining sector within the state. “I appreciate the Federal Government for lifting the suspension on mining. Just last month, we engaged in discussions with private investors interested in doing business in Zamfara’s mineral sector.” Governor Lawal noted that both the state and federal governments are working hand-in-hand to attract private sector participants to the region’s solid minerals industry, a collaboration he hopes will lead to increased revenue generation for all involved. “We are making deliberate efforts to bring in investors into this sector through partnerships involving the state and federal levels. Once successful, this will significantly boost revenue for both Zamfara and Nigeria.” He further emphasized that his government is focusing on building a foundation for long-term development by putting necessary structures in place to unlock Zamfara’s natural resource potential. “We are adopting a comprehensive approach under my administration—building frameworks and creating an enabling environment for genuine investors to engage in solid minerals.” Governor Lawal expressed confidence that with full-scale mineral investment, the state would become financially self-reliant: “With solid mineral exploitation in full swing, we won’t have to depend on monthly federal allocations (FAAC). Zamfara will be financially stable and positioned for forward development.” Apart from the economic issues, the governor also highlighted improvements in the state’s security situation. Known for its history of insecurity and bandit attacks, Zamfara has begun to record progress in stabilizing internal peace. He revealed that one of his administration’s early actions was the launch of Community Protection Guards across all Local Government Areas to support conventional security forces: “The establishment of local protection units was a strategic step to complement military and police operations in curbing banditry.” Governor Lawal reiterated his administration’s firm stance against entering negotiations with criminal elements. However, he noted a willingness to accept unconditional surrenders: “We are not open to talks with bandits. But if any group is prepared to surrender voluntarily and without conditions, we are willing to accept them.” Related News:Nigeria’s mineral sector reforms at World Bank BUY ANYTHING ON KONG BUY NOW Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Channel
In response to the escalating insecurity across Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has authorized the creation of a national forest guard system. This initiative involves the recruitment of over 130,000 armed operatives tasked with securing the country’s 1,129 forest reserves. The decision was finalized during an expanded Federal Executive Council meeting, where it was determined that each state would recruit between 2,000 and 5,000 forest guards, depending on their capacity. The recruitment and training processes will be overseen by the Office of the National Security Adviser and the Ministry of Environment. A statement from the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, confirmed the establishment of the forest guards and the commencement of their employment. The President emphasized that these operatives should be well-trained and armed to effectively eliminate terrorists and criminal gangs hiding within the forests. This collaborative security effort between federal and state governments aims to employ thousands of young Nigerians as forest guard personnel. During a visit to Katsina State, President Tinubu reiterated his administration’s commitment to reclaiming the nation’s forests from terrorists and bandits. Nigeria’s 1,129 forest reserves, managed primarily by state governments, face significant threats from illegal logging, encroachment, and security challenges, with some becoming hideouts for criminal elements. Currently, at least 11 states have operational forest guards, also known as forest rangers or forest security. The plan is to arm and upscale these guards as part of a national security strategy. The Nigerian Hunter and Forest Security Service has active commanders in states like Niger, FCT, Kogi, and Benue, indicating their involvement in forest security. In a February 2024 meeting with governors, the Federal Government and states agreed to recruit forest rangers and invest in training to safeguard forests and borders. A committee was established to further discuss the implementation at the state level. The goal is to strengthen existing forest guards under state ministries of agriculture by properly arming them and recruiting additional personnel. Several governors have expressed concerns over the invasion and illegal occupation of forest reserves. In Kwara State, security threats linked to the proximity of Kainji Lake National Park have been reported, prompting Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to assess affected areas. The park, spanning Niger and Kwara states, is identified as a potential route for terrorists entering Nigeria. In Benue State, Governor Hyacinth Alia highlighted the infiltration of foreign terrorists into the state’s forests, attributing recent attacks to these elements. Similarly, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde noted the influx of bandits into southern forest reserves after being displaced by military forces. Following governors’ recommendations, President Tinubu approved state-level recruitment of forest rangers based on financial capacity, with the Federal Government ensuring standardization and coordination. The rigorous recruitment process will involve security agencies, traditional rulers, and community leaders. Security experts have reacted to the development. Retired Army General Peter Aro praised the initiative but cautioned against joint oversight by the Ministry of Environment and the Office of the National Security Adviser, citing potential confusion and weakened operational independence. He emphasized the need for professional management to maintain the effectiveness of the Nigerian Forest Security Service (NFSS). Conversely, security analyst Chidi Omeje criticized the deployment of forest guards to combat heavily armed bandits, warning of potential casualties. He advocated for increased military presence, advanced technology, and air support to effectively reclaim Nigeria’s forests from armed groups.

A comprehensive technical review by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has identified a significant oversight in server updates, compounded by human error, as the cause of invalidated results for 379,997 candidates in Lagos and the South-East who participated in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). JAMB collaborated with the independent Educare Technical Team to assess the extent of the issue. Data from over 18,000 candidates were collected, and after thorough cleansing, approximately 15,000 authentic response logs were analyzed. The findings were disclosed during a high-level technical review session at JAMB’s headquarters in Abuja, led by Registrar Professor Ishaq Oloyede. This emergency meeting was convened in response to widespread concerns following the release of unusually low scores from the 2025 UTME. Data indicated that over 1.5 million candidates out of the 1.9 million who received results scored below 200 marks. The root cause was traced to the uneven deployment of a critical server patch essential for supporting major innovations introduced in this year’s UTME. While the updates were correctly applied to servers in the Kaduna cluster, they were not deployed to the Lagos cluster, servicing Lagos and the South-East region. This oversight led to widespread mismatches in answer interpretation and validation. Over 14,000 records were linked to the affected centers under the Lagos server cluster. Internal and external audits revealed significant overlaps in results, confirming systemic malfunction. Consequently, approximately 92 centers in the South-East and 65 centers in Lagos—totaling 157 centers—operated using outdated server logic incompatible with the new answer submission and marking structure. This affected an estimated 379,997 candidates, whose results were severely impacted due to system mismatches during answer validation. The review underscores JAMB’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of its examination processes. Moving forward, the board plans to implement stronger deployment validation protocols and real-time monitoring mechanisms to prevent such oversights. During a press briefing in Abuja, Professor Oloyede expressed deep remorse over the incident, acknowledging it as a systemic failure. He announced that the affected 379,997 candidates would retake the examination. Specifically, 65 centers (206,610 candidates) in Lagos and 92 centers (173,387 candidates) in the South-East were affected. The technical personnel failed to update some delivery services, an oversight that went undetected before the results were released. JAMB has isolated the affected centers and will organize a resit for the impacted candidates starting Friday, May 16, 2025. Candidates will be contacted via text messages sent to their registered phone numbers. Professor Oloyede offered a heartfelt apology, stating, “I appeal to the candidates and those affected by the error of our system to accept this explanation as the truth of the matter without embellishment. I apologize and take full responsibility, not just in words.” He also expressed gratitude to the Honourable Minister of Education and all stakeholders for their support during this challenging period. However, calls for Professor Oloyede’s resignation intensified following the revelation. Education analyst Jacob Sule suggested that the Registrar should step aside to allow for an independent and transparent investigation. Others on social media echoed similar sentiments, criticizing the handling of the situation. Meanwhile, parents of underage candidates demanded the release of their children’s results. One parent in Abuja questioned why the board withheld results of candidates under 16, expressing concern over the trauma inflicted on the students. Mrs. Abiodun Ashimolowo shared that her daughter was distressed, questioning the rationale behind holding back results due to age. The President of the Parents Teachers Association of Nigeria, Mr. Danjuma Haruka, commended Professor Oloyede for his transparency but called for further clarity on the nature of the errors that disrupted the examination. He emphasized the need for detailed communication from JAMB to reassure concerned parents and students. The error was initially discovered on April 25, involving omissions in the ‘Lagos category,’ a code for southern states excluding the six South-South states but including Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Niger, Kogi, and the Federal Capital Territory. Corrections and grading adjustments were made and tested between April 26 and April 28.

There’s encouraging news from Nottingham Forest as Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi has regained consciousness after being placed in a medically induced coma, according to a report by Mail Sport. The 27-year-old Super Eagles forward is now in the process of recovery after undergoing a critical abdominal surgery. The operation, described as both urgent and complicated, was performed to address a potentially life-threatening injury. On Wednesday night, Awoniyi was still in intensive care following the surgical procedure. The seriousness of the condition had sparked concern among football supporters and analysts, many of whom took to social media to express their prayers and support for his recovery. Medical professionals have now successfully completed the surgical intervention, and Awoniyi is being closely monitored in a hospital setting. Encouragingly, he has regained consciousness post-surgery and is currently surrounded by family members, offering him emotional support. The incident that led to the injury occurred during Nottingham Forest’s dramatic 2-2 draw against Leicester City over the weekend. Awoniyi had collided with the goalpost during the match. Despite receiving immediate medical attention on the pitch, he chose to keep playing for a while, showcasing immense bravery. Unfortunately, he was not immediately substituted due to the team having exhausted their substitution slots — with the final change made by coach Nuno Espirito Santo, who brought on Jota Silva in place of Elliot Anderson.

Real Madrid have postponed Barcelona’s LaLiga title celebrations for at least another week after securing a 2-1 comeback victory over Mallorca on Wednesday night. The match marked Real Madrid’s first appearance since Carlo Ancelotti officially announced his departure to manage the Brazil national team. Madrid entered the fixture knowing that a win was essential to avoid gifting Barcelona the championship without them even playing. However, the visitors stunned the Bernabeu crowd early on when Martin Valjent scored a precise opener in the 11th minute, giving Mallorca a surprise lead. Kylian Mbappe brought Real Madrid back into the contest with a magnificent solo goal in the 68th minute, maneuvering past two defenders and firing the ball into the bottom-left corner. The dramatic encounter reached its climax during stoppage time when a defensive lapse by Mallorca allowed Jacobo Ramon to capitalize on Jesus Vallejo’s flick and smash home a late winner. With the victory, Real Madrid reduced the gap to league leaders Barcelona to four points, while only six points remain in contention. Hansi Flick’s Barcelona side now requires just one win from their remaining three matches to officially clinch the LaLiga crown. Barcelona could potentially seal the title when they go head-to-head with Espanyol on Thursday.

The Nasarawa State Police Command has taken into custody Fatima Salisu, a 21-year-old woman accused of illegally trafficking ammunition across state boundaries. Her arrest took place in the Azuba district of Lafia, after a tactical security operation was carried out using credible intelligence from informants and surveillance teams. Fatima, who hails from Funtua in Katsina State, was reportedly transporting a large quantity of ammunition through Keana and Doma Local Government Areas. According to reports, she was allegedly heading toward criminal organizations in Katsina State to deliver the consignment. Acting on verified intelligence, the Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima J. Mohammed, instructed the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Command to carry out an immediate interception of the suspect. The mission resulted in the successful recovery of 400 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition and an additional 81 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition from the suspect’s possession. In a statement released early Thursday, SP Ramhan Nansel, the Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the arrest. He stated, “The suspect is currently being held in custody and is undergoing rigorous questioning. The investigation is ongoing to trace the entire arms trafficking network and determine any affiliations with bandit groups or terrorist cells.” SP Nansel emphasized that the operation is a vital milestone in combating the illegal arms trade and assured the public of the Command’s unwavering resolve to maintain peace and security within Nasarawa State. The Nasarawa State Police Command has appealed to the general public to remain observant and to collaborate with security agencies by providing timely and accurate information that can assist in combating crime effectively.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD _I and my Father are one (John 10:30). In John 10:32-38 we read about the Lord Jesus and the scepticism of the Jewish leaders as they accused Him of blasphemy, seeking an opportunity to arrest Him. Verse 39 says, “Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand” (John 10:39). Now, notice the latter portion that says “he escaped out of their hand.” Some have said He escaped out of fear; that’s not true, because He didn’t have it in Him to fear. Remember, He faced death and refused to avoid it even when He had the chance. He escaped on this occasion because it wasn’t the appointed time for His sacrifice. If He had allowed them to harm Him, the Father would have intervened, and they would have been destroyed. Jesus knew this. He said in Matthew 26:53, “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” This was the Son of God, fully aware of His authority and the power of angels at His command. Consider Elisha and his servant when they were surrounded by an army. The servant was afraid, but Elisha told him, “…Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha” (2 Kings 6:16-17). If that happened with Elisha, then think about the Lord Jesus. He knew He had myriads of angels with Him. His actions were purposeful, demonstrating that He was always in control. Even under pressure, He maintained His focus on fulfilling the will of the Father, showing us the perfect example of courage and confidence in God’s plan. This same Jesus lives in us today by His Spirit, and His boldness is ours. Like Him, you must trust the Father completely, walking in the assurance of His love, power, and perfect purpose for your life. Psalm 118:6 says, “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” Furthermore, the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 1:7 reinforces this truth: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Hallelujah! So be bold in affirming who you are in Christ and your oneness with Him. That was what got the Jews mad; their religious minds couldn’t accept or relate with the audacity and conviction with which Jesus spoke of His oneness with the Father. And we’re just like Him. CONFESSIONI walk in the boldness and courage of Christ; fear has no place in me. I’m bold, courageous, daring and audacious in affirming my oneness with the Lord. I live boldly in Him, full of faith and confidence in His divine protection, guidance and plan for my life. And I thank the Lord for the victory I have in Christ Jesus. Amen. FURTHER STUDYJohn 10:32-39Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 1 John 4:4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Personnel of the 6 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, operating under Sector 3 of Operation WHIRL STROKE (OPWS), have successfully eliminated a suspected armed bandit in Taraba State, retrieving an AK-47 rifle during the mission. According to a press statement issued on Wednesday by Captain Oni Olubodunde, Acting Public Relations Officer for the Brigade, the operation occurred during a clearance patrol in Karim Lamido Local Government Area. This recent military engagement was a direct result of a strategic assessment tour conducted by Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, the Brigade Commander, to Bandawa community, where he reiterated the importance of proactive military interventions and enhanced presence to maintain security in the region. “Following the Commander’s directives, troops on a combative patrol along Bandawa–Karim Lamido Road made contact with armed assailants,” the spokesperson explained. “In a rapid and accurate response, our personnel neutralized one of the bandits and successfully recovered one AK-47 assault rifle, in addition to 39 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.” Captain Olubodunde emphasized that the success of the operation reflects the unwavering commitment of the 6 Brigade to eradicate criminal elements from Taraba State and reinforce enduring peace in the region. Meanwhile, on May 12, 2025, a community peace meeting took place to ease growing tensions between residents of Kashimbila (in Takum LGA, Taraba) and Jato Aka (in Kwande LGA, Benue State). The continuous unrest between the two communities had previously led to several violent incidents affecting motorists along the Kashimbila–Jato Aka road. Leadership from the 6 Brigade has urged local residents to remain vigilant and provide timely, verifiable intelligence that will assist military and peacekeeping operations in safeguarding Taraba State.

The Federal High Court in Kano has deferred the sentencing of well-known TikTok influencer Murja Ibrahimi Kunya to May 20, due to a sudden decision by the prosecution to modify the charge against her. Murja faces a single-count charge brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing her of misconduct involving the Nigerian currency. This allegation emerged after a widely circulated video captured her spraying and dancing on ₦400,000 during a celebration at Tahir Guest Palace Hotel in Kano in December 2024. Murja had earlier admitted guilt to the accusation. During the Tuesday session, originally set for verdict and sentencing, EFCC prosecutor Musa Isa made an unexpected plea to revise the current charge. Murja’s legal representative, Abubakar Saka, firmly objected to the change, stating that making alterations at such a late stage could delay the case and compromise the defendant’s right to a fair trial. He emphasized the need for sufficient time to assess the proposed changes thoroughly. Despite the objection, Justice Simon Amobeda approved the prosecution’s application, asserting that the amendment was necessary to uphold justice. The case was subsequently rescheduled to May 20 for further proceedings. Until the new date, the court ruled that Murja would remain under the supervision of her legal counsel. The existing bail terms remain active, including the condition that she must appear in court on the scheduled date.
