FG, Oyo lawmaker empower 210 youths with digital skills, laptops

The Federal Government on Friday trained about 210 youths in Oyo State in digital marketing, cybersecurity basics, remote work, and technology-enabled entrepreneurship. The digital literacy and empowerment programme was facilitated by a lawmaker representing Ibadan North-West/Ibadan South-West Federal Constituency, Stanley Olajide, in collaboration with the National Information Technology Development Agency. The event was held at Dapo Aderogba Hall, Nigeria Union of Journalists Secretariat, Iyaganku GRA, Ibadan. Olajide said one of his priorities is to establish tech and innovation hubs that would position Ibadan as the technology capital of the South-West. The chairman of the House Committee on Digital, Information Communication Technology and Cybersecurity described the programme as a response to youth unemployment and the need to bridge the digital divide. “I serve as a representative and remain actively engaged in committees related to ICT, cybersecurity, and other areas of technology. Technology is not just a field for me; it is a passion. “A key priority is how we can empower our youth, both men and women, by equipping them with the skills they need to succeed. This is central to everything I do, because the future of Nigeria depends on them,” he said. Olajide disclosed that the programme would continue in phases, with more participants already scheduled. “Regarding this programme, we have about 210 beneficiaries participating today, with an additional 150 set to begin next week. This will bring the total to approximately 360 participants in this phase. “We plan to run up to ten phases before the end of the year. This is the second phase, following an earlier one held late last year,” he said. He added that beneficiaries received financial support ranging from ₦30,000 to ₦50,000 to help them launch digital ventures. “Each participant is receiving financial support, between ₦30,000 and ₦50,000, to help them get started,” he said. Olajide said the initiative is only a starting point, with plans to expand into artificial intelligence, blockchain, and other emerging technologies. “We must provide young people with the right tools and knowledge to prepare them for what lies ahead. This training programme is only a starting point,” he said. He urged participants to use the training and resources wisely. Earlier, a representative of NITDA, Eedris Faruk, said participants were equipped with skills in digital literacy, AI, responsible platform use, and online business setup to promote education, entrepreneurship, and employment.

Vaccines are lifesavers, WHO insists as World Immunisation Week begins

The World Health Organisation has said vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives over the past 50 years, stressing that immunisation remains one of the most effective ways to protect people from deadly diseases. WHO stated this in a statement on Friday as World Immunisation Week commenced globally, running from April 24 to April 30. According to the organisation, vaccines have helped individuals, families, and communities guard against diseases such as measles, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and rotavirus. During the week-long campaign, WHO and its partners are highlighting the benefits of vaccines at every stage of life, alongside scientific breakthroughs that have produced safe and tested vaccines against malaria, HPV, cholera, dengue, meningitis, RSV, Ebola, and mpox. The organisation noted that this year marks the midpoint of Immunisation Agenda 2030, a global initiative aimed at ensuring everyone benefits from life-saving vaccines. A progress report released by WHO stated that despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical instability, climate disruption, and limited financing, immunisation efforts over the last five years have prevented millions of deaths. However, the report warned that many targets remain off track due to persistent gaps in routine vaccine coverage, equity, and outbreak prevention in several countries. WHO called for renewed commitments to strengthen national immunisation programmes, improve integration with primary healthcare systems, and prioritise vaccine access globally. Also on Friday, WHO, UNICEF, and Gavi announced that “The Big Catch-up,” a global effort launched in 2023 to recover vaccination losses caused largely by the COVID-19 pandemic, has reached an estimated 18.3 million children aged one to five across 36 countries. The campaign has also delivered 23 million doses of inactivated polio vaccine to unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children, supporting global polio eradication efforts. WHO said the initiative is on track to meet its target of vaccinating at least 21 million children. In October 2024, the WHO Country Representative to Nigeria, Dr Walter Mulombo, reaffirmed that vaccines are safe and effective. He said every vaccine approved by the WHO undergoes a rigorous review process to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Kwara residents protest against insecurity, demand urgent action

Residents of Kwara South, under the umbrella of the Kwara South Development Forum, staged a protest on Friday over rising insecurity in the region. The protesters said indigenous Yoruba communities are facing increasing attacks by armed groups, resulting in killings, kidnappings, and displacement of residents. They alleged that several communities are gradually being overrun and called on President Bola Tinubu and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to urgently intervene. Speaking during the protest, the convener of the forum, Obashola Ayomide Ridwan, said many families have suffered severe losses. “Our mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers have been killed and kidnapped, while our schools have been shut down in Kwara South. “We are demonstrating today to express our concerns to President Tinubu and Governor AbdulRazaq to empower local vigilantes and other security agencies to end the kidnapping and killings in Kwara South,” he said. The group also appealed to traditional rulers in the region to unite and press for federal intervention, warning that more communities could be lost if urgent action is not taken. One protester, Adebisi Jimoh, said attacks had forced many residents of Babanla and nearby settlements to flee. “Our community has become deserted. Our family members have been kidnapped, and we had to raise ransom to secure their release. Many of us have been chased out of our homes,” he said. Another resident, Sodiq Amidu, said two victims, identified as Abdullah Issa and Yusuf Ibrahim, regained freedom only after ransoms of ₦10 million and ₦5 million were paid, respectively. “They were lucky to come back alive. Many others are not that fortunate,” he said. A protester, Aleshinloye Saheed, alleged that local vigilante leaders are being specifically targeted. “Our brave vigilante commanders have been killed, and our people have become vulnerable. Communities in Kwara South have been deserted as a result. “We are calling on President Bola Tinubu and Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to take decisive and coordinated action over the incessant insecurity in Kwara South,” he said. Residents said the worst-hit areas include Ifelodun, Ekiti, Oke-Ero, and Irepodun local government areas, where they claim abductions, violent attacks, and displacement now occur frequently. They also alleged that schools have shut down, farmlands have been abandoned, and economic activities have collapsed in several communities. The protesters urged the government to deploy more security personnel, intensify intelligence-led operations, and strengthen local vigilante networks to prevent a deeper humanitarian crisis in Kwara South.

Police rescue abducted two-year-old in Kano

The Kano State Police Command has rescued a two-year-old boy who was abducted in the state, arrested three suspects, and recovered ₦930,000 from the ransom paid by the child’s family. The command disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday by the Police Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Kiyawa. According to the statement, the incident occurred on April 19 when a resident of Gwammaja Quarters in Dala Local Government Area reported that his two-year-old son, Aliyu Muhammad, had been kidnapped in front of their home. The suspects later contacted the family and demanded a ransom of ₦1 million. “The suspects subsequently established contact and demanded a ransom of One Million Naira (₦1,000,000.00), which was paid by the victim’s family. Despite receiving the ransom, they failed to release the child,” the statement said. Following the report, the Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Bakori, directed the command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad to begin immediate operations. “Upon receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police immediately directed the command’s Anti-Kidnapping Squad to activate all operational and intelligence assets and swing into action,” the police said. The police added that sustained intelligence and technical operations led officers to the hideout of the suspects. “Through sustained follow-up and technical operation, the hideout was identified, and the suspects were arrested,” the statement noted. The three suspects identified as Hassan Umar, Abdullahi Hamisu, and Hussaini Saminu were traced to Gwammaja Quarters, where the child was being held. Investigation revealed that the victim was kept at the residence of Hussaini Saminu. “He was successfully rescued unhurt and has since been reunited with his family,” the statement added. Police also recovered ₦930,000, believed to be part of the ransom paid. “A sum of Nine Hundred and Thirty Thousand Naira (₦930,000.00), being part of the ransom paid, was recovered from the suspects,” the statement said. The Commissioner of Police praised the Anti-Kidnapping Squad for what he described as professionalism, resilience, and tactical precision in rescuing the child safely. The command also urged residents to remain vigilant and continue to support security agencies with credible information.

Kogi restates commitment to end malaria, expands free testing

The Kogi State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating malaria and strengthening access to free testing and treatment across the state. The Commissioner for Health, Dr Abdulazees Adeiza, made this known on Friday during a media parley organised by Famkris Healthcare Initiative in collaboration with the Kogi Malaria Elimination Programme to mark the 2026 World Malaria Day. “Kogi State is ever ready to demonstrate the political will required to support efforts aimed at ending the disease,” the commissioner said. Adeiza, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Maji Enok, stated that the current administration has maintained an open-door policy to ensure the success of malaria elimination programmes across the three senatorial districts. He praised the media for its role in disseminating information, creating awareness, and educating residents on malaria prevention and treatment. He also noted that the state government had fulfilled its obligations by paying counterpart funding to donor agencies supporting malaria elimination efforts. Speaking at the event, the Director of the Malaria Elimination Programme, Dr Stephen Ake, disclosed that free malaria testing, treatment, and distribution of malaria commodities are currently ongoing in all 239 wards across the three senatorial districts. Ake appealed for more financial support from development partners to sustain the programme. He added that the 2026 focus would include the training and recruitment of health personnel, as well as expanded public awareness campaigns on malaria prevention. Also speaking, the State Team Leader of Famkris Healthcare Initiative on Malaria Elimination, Dr Salamatu Yahaya, said their interventions cover both urban and rural communities. She urged vulnerable groups and other residents to take advantage of the ongoing free malaria service delivery programme.

NAF airstrikes destroy terrorist hideouts in Borno

The Nigerian Air Force has announced that its airstrikes destroyed terrorist hideouts in the Southern Tumbuns area of Borno State. This was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame. According to him, the operation was carried out on Friday at about 6:50 p.m. over Ali Sheriffti, a known terrorist enclave, following credible intelligence on insurgent activities. Ejodame said air force assets conducted surveillance in the area and observed insurgents moving through concealed routes before tracking them to structures hidden under dense vegetation. “The NAF air assets carried out a focused surveillance sweep, during which several insurgents were sighted moving along concealed tracks and were trailed to structures hidden under dense foliage. “Following identification, the NAF executed a precise strike, engaging the structures with onboard munitions. “The operation achieved the desired effect, with terrorist structures destroyed, further degrading their capability and freedom of movement in the area,” he said. He noted that the strike reflects the Air Force’s continued commitment to intelligence-led and precision-based operations aimed at denying terrorists safe havens. Ejodame also quoted the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, as reaffirming the military’s determination to sustain pressure on terrorist groups. “The Nigerian Air Force will continue to pursue and dismantle terrorist networks with unwavering precision and relentless force, ensuring no enclave remains beyond our reach,” he said. He added that operations would continue with greater intensity to protect the country and its citizens.

Yahaya Bello Backs Abejide’s Third-Term Bid, Urges Political Continuity in Kogi

Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has called on voters in Yagba Federal Constituency to support the re-election of their representative, Leke Abejide, for a third term in the House of Representatives. Bello appealed in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Onogwu Muhammed, in Abuja on Friday. He said his endorsement is aimed at strengthening development in the constituency and ensuring continuity in ongoing legislative projects. According to him, lawmakers become more effective with experience, adding that a third-term legislator is better positioned to deliver greater impact than a first-term member. Bello explained that seniority and experience in the National Assembly play a key role in influencing policy, attracting federal projects, and securing leadership positions in committees. He added that experienced legislators are more familiar with parliamentary procedures and are better equipped to navigate the legislative process. The former governor also said key stakeholders in Kogi State are aligned in supporting Abejide’s re-election bid. He urged aspirants from other local government areas, particularly Mopa-Muro, to be patient and allow continuity in representation. Bello stressed that legislative service should not be seen as a rotational position, but as an opportunity that rewards performance and experience. He noted that continuity would help complete ongoing projects and attract more development to the constituency. Bello described Abejide as a credible and dependable lawmaker whose leadership has positively impacted his constituents.

Xenophobic Attacks: NiDCOM Issues Safety Alert to Nigerians in South Africa

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has urged Nigerians living in South Africa to strictly follow safety advisories issued by the Nigerian Consulate General amid rising anti-foreigner protests across several parts of the country. The warning follows a circular from the Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg, which reported that demonstrations in cities including East London, Cape Town, Durban, and parts of KwaZulu-Natal had turned violent, leading to looting, property damage, and injuries. NiDCOM said intelligence from the consulate indicates that further protests are expected in Gauteng Province between April 27 and 29, 2026, with tensions linked to demands over the presence of foreign nationals. In response, the commission advised Nigerians in South Africa to avoid confrontation with protesters, stay away from demonstration areas, and closely monitor local media for real-time safety updates. It also urged Nigerian citizens to remain law-abiding and avoid any engagement that could escalate tensions during the unrest. Nigerian business owners were further advised to temporarily close their shops on Freedom Day, April 27, and consider extending the closure through April 28 and 29, as foreign-owned businesses are often targeted during such incidents. NiDCOM reaffirmed that the Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg remains fully operational and is working with South African authorities to ensure the safety of Nigerians in the country. It also noted that the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs is engaging diplomatic counterparts in South Africa over the situation. The alert comes amid renewed reports of xenophobic violence, with circulating videos showing attacks on African immigrants and calls for foreigners to leave the country. Authorities continue to monitor the situation as tensions remain high in affected communities.

Alcaraz to Miss French Open and Italian Open Due to Wrist Injury

Defending French Open champion Carlos Alcaraz has announced he will miss this year’s Roland Garros and the Italian Open as he recovers from a right wrist injury. The Spanish tennis star confirmed the decision on Friday after medical tests revealed the extent of the injury sustained during the Barcelona Open. Alcaraz said the decision was made in consultation with his team, describing it as a precautionary step to avoid worsening the injury. “We have decided that the most prudent thing to do is to be cautious and not participate in Rome or Roland Garros,” he said. He added that the current situation is difficult but expressed confidence that he will return stronger once fully recovered. Alcaraz picked up the injury during his opening match at the Barcelona Open last week, where he was forced to withdraw after initially competing. The 22-year-old also pulled out of the Madrid Masters on April 17 as concerns over his fitness increased. He said his recovery will now be closely monitored before a decision is made on his return to competition. Alcaraz has enjoyed a strong season so far, with a 22–3 record and a title win in Doha earlier in the year. The world number two lost his top ranking after a defeat to Jannik Sinner in the Monte Carlo Masters final. He had won the French Open in 2024 and 2025, making him one of the dominant players on clay in recent seasons. Alcaraz admitted that protecting his long-term career was the priority, even if it meant missing major tournaments. “I’d rather come back a bit later but in great shape than risk making this injury worse,” he said earlier this week. His absence opens up the field at Roland Garros, with rivals expected to take advantage of the defending champion’s withdrawal.
