The decision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to rename the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) after the late former President Muhammadu Buhari has attracted widespread discussions across the country. While some Nigerians applaud the renaming, others question the rationale behind renaming an institution with over five decades of history. The Federal Government has provided further insight into the motivations behind Tinubu’s decision. The Minister of Education, Olatunji Alausa, through an official statement on Friday, shed light on the matter, describing the renaming as a meaningful tribute to Buhari’s lasting contributions to Nigeria’s socio-political landscape. The statement, which was endorsed by Boriowo Folasade, Director of Press and Public Relations in the Ministry of Education, was shared on the ministry’s verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, affirming the government’s position. According to Minister Alausa, “The Ministry of Education feels deeply privileged that the educational sector has been chosen as the platform to immortalize the legacy of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.” He emphasized that such recognition signifies the enduring impact Buhari made on the nation’s trajectory. This announcement followed a special session of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), organized to honour Buhari’s memory. The former President died on July 13, 2023, at the age of 82 while receiving treatment in a London clinic. After his passing, Buhari was laid to rest in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, where he was given a state funeral attended by national and international dignitaries. Public reaction to the renaming of UNIMAID has been divided. While a section of Nigerians consider it a worthy gesture acknowledging Buhari’s historical significance — especially since he once served as military governor of Borno State before his tenure as Nigeria’s democratic leader — others argue that changing the name of an institution established over 50 years ago may not have been necessary. Responding to these concerns, Education Minister Alausa defended the presidential directive, clarifying that the renaming carries deeper connotations beyond a mere symbolic act. He elaborated that Buhari’s administration from 2015 to 2023 was characterized by substantial reforms in areas such as national security, anti-corruption, infrastructure, agriculture, and human capital development. Among the landmark initiatives under Buhari’s leadership, Alausa mentioned the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme, the Treasury Single Account (TSA), the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), and several social investment programs. These policies, according to Alausa, played significant roles in propelling national progress and economic stabilization. Further appreciating Tinubu’s decision, Alausa described it as an embodiment of “deep empathy and respect,” reflecting President Tinubu’s unwavering belief in the power of education as a critical pillar of national advancement. He remarked, “President Tinubu’s dedication to fostering human capital development is steadfast, aligning seamlessly with the national renewal vision championed by President Muhammadu Buhari.” Alausa stressed that the renaming of UNIMAID is more than a ceremonial gesture; it symbolizes the enduring values that Nigeria should continue to uphold — values such as service, integrity, and excellence, which he credited both the late Buhari and President Tinubu for exemplifying throughout their public service careers. The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to these values, underscoring the importance of preserving and promoting the ideals that have shaped Nigeria’s path to development

The Ogun State Government, under the leadership of Prince Dapo Abiodun, has confirmed that the comprehensive implementation of the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) for state employees will officially commence this July 2025. This commitment was made clear during a crucial dialogue between the governor and organized labour unions, aimed at resolving the pressing concerns around CPS and other outstanding matters that triggered the ongoing industrial action by the state workforce. Governor Abiodun’s Strategy for Pension Payments and Workers’ Retirement Benefits During the strategic meeting with labour leaders held at his office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Governor Abiodun reiterated his administration’s readiness to enforce the full Contributory Pension Scheme, ensuring prompt and structured pension payments for employees retiring from July 2, 2025, onwards. The governor outlined a well-structured 10-year pension payment plan, divided into two distinct phases: With this roadmap, the government ensures that pension obligations covering the remaining two years of Abiodun’s tenure and an additional eight years under future administrations are addressed. He emphasized: “For phase one, all retirees from July 2, 2025, to July 2030 will receive their outstanding contributions immediately. Phase two will begin next year, covering those retiring from July 2, 2030, to July 1, 2035. These payments will go beyond my tenure, ensuring retirees get their entitlements even during and after the next administration.” End of Gratuity Scheme and Full Transition to CPS Governor Abiodun announced that effective July 2, 2025, the gratuity payment scheme will be phased out, transitioning all employees to the CPS. Consequently, Consolidated Salaries will be fully aligned with the Contributory Pension Scheme, ensuring sustainability and transparency in pension administration. The governor candidly addressed past administrative inefficiencies, stating: “We discovered that the previous pension managers lacked the expertise and proper qualifications, which led to unnecessary delays. To correct this, we’ll strengthen PENCOM with adequate resources to fulfil obligations to retirees without delay. Relevant laws will also be passed to support this policy shift.” Immediate Staff Enrollment and Historical Debt Commitments The government will initiate the immediate enrollment and registration of all state employees under the CPS, following the selection of appropriate Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs). Governor Abiodun highlighted his administration’s achievements in clearing backlogs: Staff Promotions and Future Salary Adjustments Over the last five years, six promotion exercises have been conducted. The governor pledged that: Abiodun also assured that the government will review the basic salaries of workers, with the intention to adjust wages to align with other states in the Southwest. Governor’s Appeal for Industrial Harmony The governor urged labour unions to adopt peaceful dialogue rather than strikes when addressing workers’ welfare issues. He commended their support since 2019, which has facilitated notable socio-economic development in Ogun State. Labour’s Response to Government’s Position Responding to the governor’s presentation, Comrade Hameed Benco, Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Ogun State, clarified that the workers embarked on the strike due to prevailing uncertainties and speculations regarding the CPS implementation. Similarly, Comrade Akeem Lasisi, State Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), stressed that the labour’s industrial action was not intended to damage the state’s economy but to draw the government’s attention, especially with the amended 2006 Pension Reform Act taking effect on July 1, 2025. Lasisi also appealed to the state government to revise workers’ basic salaries to ensure parity with their counterparts in other Southwest states of Nigeria.

In a notable exercise of judicial responsibility, the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, Justice Ekaete Obot, has released a total of 123 inmates, including an 18-year-old mentally challenged female prisoner, during her second quarter 2025 inspection tour of the Medium Security Custodial Centres (MSCCs) in Ikot Abasi, Eket, Ikot Ekpene, and Uyo. Justice Obot emphasized the judiciary’s constitutional duty to uphold justice and defend fundamental human rights, reiterating that the purpose of the jail delivery initiative is to ensure that individuals are not unjustly detained without due legal process. She stressed the importance of routine interventions to correct judicial delays and prevent rights violations. During the three-day correctional facility inspection, the 123 inmates freed were distributed across the centres as follows: Among the released individuals, 62 inmates were discharged due to health issues such as anaemia, scabies, and tuberculosis. Justice Obot directed that the dormitories where sick inmates were previously housed must undergo comprehensive sanitation. She instructed that no other inmates should be accommodated in these areas until full decontamination is completed to prevent further disease spread. The Chief Judge observed that a significant number of prisoners were incarcerated for minor offences and had overstayed beyond the duration they would have served if properly convicted. Accordingly, several releases were granted on the basis of compassionate grounds, health conditions, fabricated charges, missing case files, and prosecutorial negligence. In a particularly concerning case, an 18-year-old girl suffering from mental health challenges, who reportedly consumed foam and other inedible items, was released with orders to have her taken to a psychiatric hospital in Eket for proper diagnosis and treatment. Another case was that of Etieno Okon, who was detained at the age of 15 on cultism allegations and remained in custody for five years without trial. Both Okon and his father, who was also detained, were granted freedom by the Chief Judge. While addressing the freed inmates, Justice Obot advised them to maintain good behavior and avoid any actions that could lead them back to prison. She expressed dissatisfaction with the high number of inmates awaiting trial, some of whom had spent longer periods in detention than the actual penalties for their alleged crimes. Justice Obot also admonished prosecutors, reminding them of their duty to uphold justice without infringing on the fundamental rights of suspects. She commended the efforts of all Judges, Magistrates, court staff, and the Controller of Correctional Centre, Akwa Ibom Command, for their dedication during the exercise. In a show of goodwill, the Chief Judge donated N300,000 to the correctional centres to support the transportation of the released inmates back to their communities. Responding, Mr. Frank Okonkwo, the Controller of Correctional Centre for Akwa Ibom Command, appreciated Justice Obot for her visit and benevolence. He highlighted several pressing challenges facing the custodial centres, such as dilapidated infrastructure and inadequate transportation logistics for conveying inmates to court promptly. Okonkwo appealed for the Chief Judge’s assistance in facilitating the approval of pending requests to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, for the procurement of operational vehicles, repair of existing facilities, and the supply of beddings, especially necessary during the cold season.

The trial of SunTrust Bank Managing Director, Halima Buba, and the Chief Compliance Officer, Innocent Mbagwu, took a critical turn on Thursday, July 17, 2025, as the first prosecution witness (PW1) provided comprehensive testimony before Justice Emeka Nwite at the Federal High Court, Abuja. Both bank executives are currently facing a six-count charge for money laundering, with allegations surrounding the unlawful movement of $12 million, as prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Details of Foreign Exchange Deals Uncovered in Court During the court session, the prosecution witness, identified as a bureau de change operator, narrated the complex foreign exchange transactions that allegedly linked him with the first defendant, Aisha Achimugu, and the implicated bank officials. Under cross-examination led by the prosecuting counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, SAN, the witness disclosed: “In March 2025, Aisha Achimugu reached out to inform me about certain foreign exchange transactions being executed through SunTrust Bank branches in Abuja and Lagos. I subsequently contacted the first defendant, who verified her awareness and involvement in these transactions.” The witness testified that on March 13, 2025, a representative of Achimugu, identified as Iliya, approached SunTrust Bank in Abuja to execute a $1 million cash swap. The funds were intended to be deposited into the Zenith Bank account of Ocean Gate Energy Oil and Gas. The transaction was authenticated with the first defendant, after which cash collection was coordinated via intermediaries. Purpose of Transactions: Oil Block Acquisition Further insights from the witness revealed: “Aisha informed me that she needed dollar inflows into her Ocean Gate Energy account to facilitate the purchase of an oil block. I became acquainted with her in 2021, courtesy of the first defendant, and our initial meeting occurred at SunTrust Bank.” The witness added that transaction confirmations and related communications were shared via WhatsApp, including evidence of conversations between the first and second defendants. Screenshots of these chats were reportedly provided, especially when the Chief Compliance Officer initially refuted any knowledge of the transactions. Breakdown of Cash Transactions He further detailed the sequence of cash collections: These dollar inflows were subsequently converted through swaps and credited to the Ocean Gate Energy Oil and Gas account at Zenith Bank. Additional Naira-to-Dollar Transactions Beyond the oil block purchase, Achimugu reportedly conducted multiple Naira-to-dollar exchange transactions. The witness confirmed that all these deals were validated with the first defendant, with naira sums paid into local accounts and the dollar equivalents wired to Ocean Gate Energy. Current Status of the Case The case remains ongoing as the EFCC continues to present evidence in its bid to substantiate the $12 million money laundering allegations. The outcome of this high-profile trial could have far-reaching implications for Nigeria’s financial regulatory space. For the official statement from the EFCC on related money laundering cases, refer to their official portal.

Former Premier League manager Alan Pardew has issued a startling prediction that Manchester United may face relegation in the upcoming 2025/2026 EPL season if urgent defensive problems remain unsolved. Pardew, well-known for managing clubs like Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, expressed deep concern over the ongoing instability within the Red Devils’ squad. According to him, the club’s decision to ban five key first-team players from participating in squad training is already causing turmoil within the dressing room — a situation that could have grave consequences on the pitch. In a recent interview with talkSPORT, Pardew was asked to identify which Premier League club is most vulnerable to relegation in the next campaign. To the shock of many, he included Manchester United among the teams in the league’s bottom ten who are at real risk. “All the teams in that bottom ten, including Manchester United, are at risk,” Pardew stated. “The issue is that they’re still conceding too many goals, and nothing much has changed to fix that.” Pardew further elaborated that the Red Devils are currently entangled in a “fire sale” of players, referring to the club’s decision to sideline key figures like Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, and Antony from first-team training. This banishment, Pardew suggests, sends a demoralizing message to the rest of the squad and disrupts team unity — a critical element for any club aspiring to remain competitive in the Premier League. “It all hinges on moving these five players; it’s almost like a fire sale right now,” Pardew remarked. The former EPL coach believes that unless Manchester United swiftly addresses both their defensive frailties and internal squad unrest, the threat of relegation — a once unthinkable scenario for the club — might become a harsh reality

A disturbing accusation has emerged from Jebbu Binde village in Ta-Hoss District, located within the Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State. Rev. Davou Musa, a prominent community leader and Chairman of the Regional Church Council (RCC) of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Riyom, has alleged that soldiers stationed nearby actively supported Fulani militias in the attack that left over 30 villagers dead. Rev. Musa made this serious allegation during a visit by Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, who came for an immediate, on-the-spot evaluation of the devastating incident and to extend his condolences to the grieving community. The RCC Chairman emphasized that the attackers, who operated in large numbers, freely invaded the village and carried out their violent assault for several hours. Shockingly, military personnel positioned a mere 200 meters away failed to intervene. He stressed that such an extended operation could not have occurred without some level of military collusion or direct support. Rev. Musa further lamented that despite multiple urgent and desperate pleas for assistance during the attack, the military refused to come to their rescue. He criticized the soldiers’ inaction and labeled their conduct as complicity, especially as no suspects were arrested following the massacre. In his statement, Rev. Musa directly blamed the military for abandoning their constitutional duty to safeguard lives and property. He demanded the federal government immediately withdraw the special military task force deployed to the community, stating their presence offers no protection to the locals. “I have communicated this clearly to the GOC (General Officer Commanding), and I’m repeating it again: his men are openly siding with the Fulani, even assisting in the destruction of farms and grazing fields,” Musa asserted. He elaborated that the attackers destroyed homes, looted food supplies, and even burned down a church during their onslaught. Many villagers sustained serious injuries, adding to the community’s anguish and losses. Rev. Musa also accused the military of being compromised, alleging that soldiers prioritized the safety of Fulani cattle over human lives. He pointed out a disturbing pattern: whenever Fulani herders report incidents like cattle rustling, security forces respond promptly, deploying several armed personnel in Hilux trucks to recover stolen cattle and apprehend suspects. Conversely, Rev. Musa noted that when local villages suffer fatal attacks and widespread destruction, the military’s response is either sluggish or entirely absent. This inconsistency has fueled widespread suspicion and concern about the true motives and loyalties of the security forces in the region. “The military’s selective response makes it evident they are shielding the attackers instead of protecting our people. Human lives should be paramount, yet our attackers are given more security coverage than the communities under siege,” Rev. Musa alleged. This alarming claim has intensified public outrage over the perceived partiality of security forces operating in conflict-prone areas of Nigeria, especially in Plateau State, where clashes between local communities and Fulani militias have repeatedly resulted in mass casualties.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2). Too often, people find themselves trapped in a cycle of illness and health issues. One week they’re in the hospital, and the next, they’re at the pharmacy, seeking medications for one ailment or the other. This shouldn’t be your experience as a child of God. Don’t allow such in your life. Refuse to allow Satan toy with your health. He’s testing you. The moment Satan sees that you keep yielding to minor symptoms of sickness, he strikes with a heavier blow. But you have the power to put an end to this. Remember what Jesus said to Simon Peter: “…Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not…” (Luke 22:31-32). Notice that the Lord didn’t say He prayed that Satan wouldn’t test Peter, but rather, that Peter’s faith wouldn’t fail. Your faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Today, you can settle any health issue once and for all by saying, “Enough is enough! I refuse to live a life of sickness and weakness. I lay hold of divine health because I have eternal life. I enjoy divine health because that’s the life I have in Christ.” While as a result of ignorance you might have tolerated sickness in the past, it should no longer have a place in your life now that you know the truth. Some people mistakenly try to “sleep off” their ailments. But this is not the way. Don’t ignore the pain or discomfort, hoping that only “some rest” will resolve it. No. Use your faith-filled words to kill it! Remember, your faith is the victory that overcomes the world and its debilitating influences, including sicknesses, diseases, pains and everything of darkness. And you’re to always vocalize your faith. Use words; your tongue is your tool for control; use it to rebuke the ailment. Use it to cut out any infirmity, growth or anomaly from your body. Speak health and life over yourself. Then, you can rest, assured that your words have established your victory. God has empowered you to control your circumstances with your declarations. Speak life, health, and victory always. CONFESSIONDear Father, I thank you for the gift of divine health, my inheritance in Christ Jesus. I’m healthy and strong, and I walk in the fullness of the divine life. Every fibre of my being is inundated with eternal life. Hallelujah! FURTHER STUDYProverbs 18:21Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Isaiah 33:24And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity. Proverbs 4:20-22My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they [are] life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. DAILY SCRIPTURE READING1-Year Bible Reading PlanActs 25:13-26:1 & Psalms 11-16 2-Year Bible Reading PlanLuke 9:28-36 & Joshua 14 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: My life is a life of ever-increasing glory and peace. There is no turmoil in me because I flourish in God’s rest. I am not a victim but a victor. God’s Word is producing what it talks about in my life. God’s Word is alive in me; therefore, I cannot die. Every time I receive the Word of God, it goes into my spirit and permeates my body. I’m living in health 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead lives in me; it’s impossible for me to be brought down by sickness. No matter what the devil throws at me, I stand strong in faith and use the all-powerful Name of Jesus to neutralize his fiery darts. I keep my body healthy with my faith-filled confessions. I am an embodiment of God’s grace, and my daily experience is that of the miraculous and God’s infinite love. I am born again; therefore, I’m not ordinary. As the Father has life in Himself, even so, has He given me to have His life – a life without limits. Thus, I function with supernatural strength and abilities today. I’m strengthened and energized by the Holy Spirit who lives in me, and He’s made me an absolute victor. The power of the Holy Spirit touches everything in my body; thus, I am infused with divine strength. There is no situation I cannot change, for the inherent power to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I could ask, think, or imagine is within me. My mind is stayed on God’s Word; therefore, He keeps me in perfect peace. I experience health, victory, and prosperity, now and always. I am the expression of God’s fullness, grace, and glory. I manifest His kingdom and power. I am a testimony, the seed of Abraham, and an heir of Abraham’s blessing through Christ. I prosper in my health and bear living proof of God’s infinite grace, blessing, and love. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, causing life to spring forth from within me. God wants me well; therefore, I refuse to accommodate sickness or anything contrary in my body. My life is filled with peace and prosperity, my body is in perfect health, and my days are blessed with the fullness of God’s blessings and riches in glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
