The President of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN), Professor (Dr.) Mohammad Israr, has clarified the reason behind the recent closure of several privately-owned student hostels, including Al-Ansar Indabo, emphasizing that the affected facilities were shut down for breaching institutional policies. In a statement released on Tuesday, Professor Israr explained that the action was taken to prioritize the well-being of students and uphold the university’s guiding principles. “We issued official warnings to the management of the hostels in question. However, their continued failure to comply with university policies forced us to take this decisive action,” he said. The directive, issued on Monday, mandates the closure of the hostels for reasons related to non-compliance and a lack of commitment to student welfare. Professor Israr detailed several pressing concerns that prompted the decision, such as inadequate water supply and poor electricity provision. “The lack of compliance led to undesirable conditions in the hostels, including poor water and electricity access. These deficiencies endanger the safety and comfort of our students,” he emphasized. He also underscored that the university’s 13-year track record of excellence would not be compromised under any circumstance. “Our university has built a solid reputation over the years. We are committed to ethical standards that ensure student well-being and responsible conduct,” he added. The hostels affected by the shutdown are privately operated but had previously received approval from the institution to house its students. However, the university president pointed out: “These operational issues are not present in our university-managed accommodations. They are mostly found in privately run facilities.” He reaffirmed that the closures were initiated in the best interest of both students and parents, aligning with the vision of the university’s founder to contribute meaningfully to the state’s economy—without sacrificing discipline or safety. “This decision protects both students and their families. While the founder’s mission includes contributing to local economic growth, it will never come at the expense of student welfare,” he said. Professor Israr instructed all students affected by the closure to vacate the hostels immediately following their first-semester examinations. He also confirmed that the university is coordinating with law enforcement agencies to ensure full enforcement of the directive. It is noteworthy that the university had earlier closed the Insktaf hostel following reports of severe security issues, including acts of torture, physical violence, and student injuries.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin (Romans 6:6). The Lord Jesus didn’t come to give us a religion; He came to give us life—the God-life! He gave up everything, even His own life, to make us sons of God. When you truly understand the magnitude of His sacrifice, it’ll transform your outlook on life. You’d live victoriously every day, knowing that His death, burial and resurrection brought us life everlasting—free from sin, sickness, poverty and death. The vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ wasn’t symbolic; it was a reality, and so is the freedom it brought to us. His resurrection secured our victory over death and every form of oppression. The Bible says, “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him” (Romans 6:9). And guess what? Death has no dominion over you either because you’re in Him. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus gave you His very nature. You’re now alive unto God! You’re not just forgiven; you’re recreated, made the righteousness of God in Christ. This is why you can boldly declare, “I’ll never be sick in my life! I’ll never be broke in my life!” These aren’t empty confessions; they’re realities of the life we’ve received in Christ. So, reign in life through Christ as the Bible says: “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17). Stop “trying” to make it; you’ve already made it in Christ! The old nature is dead, and the new you is alive with the life of God. The Apostle Paul tells us, “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:11). Live with this consciousness. You’re not a sinner; you’re the righteousness of God in Christ. You’re not the defeated trying to get victory; you’re the victor, reigning in life through Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the finished work of Christ, which has made me righteous, victorious, and alive unto you, free from sin, sickness, poverty and every oppression of the enemy. I live in the fullness of the life of Christ, manifesting your glory everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY2 Corinthians 5:21For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Colossians 3:3-4For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Romans 8:10-11And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. DAILY SCRIPTURE READING1-Year Bible Reading PlanJohn 6:25-59 & 1 Kings 10-11 2-Year Bible Reading PlanMark 10:1-12 & Numbers 16 Extract From Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: My life is a life of ever-increasing glory, splendour and peace. There is no turmoil in my life, because I flourish in God’s rest. I am not a victim of circumstances but a victor in Christ Jesus. God’s Word is producing results in my life.

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, holy and irreproachable in God’s sight. 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, my God-given gift, healthy, strong, vibrant and alive! I am in a place of never-ending, superabundant wealth. Angels are directing businesses to me right now.

I am vitalized, refreshed, renewed, and restored by the Holy Spirit daily. I manifest God’s glory, virtue, excellence, and greatness to my world, bringing glory to the Name of the Lord continually. My body and all my members and faculties are a living sacrifice, holy, devoted, consecrated and well-pleasing to God, which is my service and spiritual worship. I have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites and desires in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known by his stage name Portable, has stirred discussions online with his recent claims about alleged favoritism within the Nigerian entertainment scene. The outspoken musician alleged that there is a coordinated effort against certain individuals in the industry, particularly within Nollywood. According to Portable, popular actor Ibrahim Chatta was deliberately overlooked at the recently concluded 11th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA). Despite being nominated for the Best Lead Actor category for his role in House of GAA, Chatta lost the award to Femi Adebayo for his performance in Seven Doors. Adebayo’s co-actor, Chioma Chukwuka, also secured the award for Best Lead Actress in the same film. In a video posted on his Instagram page, Portable expressed his dissatisfaction, claiming that Chatta was the most deserving nominee. He emphasized that the actor’s performance was outstanding and deserved recognition. Portable stated, “My fans, there is serious bias within the Nigerian entertainment industry, including Nollywood. Ibrahim Chatta gave an exceptional performance in House of GAA but still didn’t win. That’s how they ignored me at The Headies too.” He added, “We don’t need awards. What we need is sustenance—food and financial growth. We have money, but we cannot buy awards like some individuals allegedly do. Ibrahim Chatta, even if humans don’t reward your talent, divine recognition awaits you. You’re my mentor and I truly respect you.” It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Chatta has expressed frustration regarding the AMVCA. Back in 2023, he claimed that his repeated exclusion from the prestigious awards was due to a conspiracy against him within the industry.
