2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream II corps members to pass out May 21 — NYSC

The National Youth Service Corps has approved Thursday, May 21, 2026, for the passing-out ceremony of 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream II corps members across the country. The scheme announced the date in a statement issued by its Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, noting that preparatory activities for the event will begin on May 5, 2026. According to the statement, the activities will include job advisory and counselling sessions as well as final clearance processes coordinated by zonal inspectors. It added that the passing-out exercise will be a low-key event, during which corps members will receive their Certificates of National Service at their respective local government areas. The NYSC Director-General, Brig.-Gen. Olakunle Nafiu congratulated the corps members and urged them to uphold the values of discipline, patriotism, and service as they transition into post-service life. The passing-out marks the completion of the one-year mandatory national service for members deployed in the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream II.

Commuters lament poor state of Kaduna expressway

Commuters using the Kagoro–Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway in Kaduna State have decried the poor condition of the road, citing heavy congestion, accidents, and worsening travel delays. Road users said the expressway has become difficult to navigate, especially as parts of the road are flooded, and traffic has been reduced to a single usable lane. Transport operators explained that journeys that normally take about one hour now stretch to three or four hours due to gridlock caused by ongoing road reconstruction and reckless driving by motorists and tricycle operators. A transport union official said accidents on the route often lead to a complete standstill, leaving only pedestrians able to move through affected sections. Students also complained about the situation, saying they struggle to cross the road safely due to speeding vehicles and poor pedestrian access, which sometimes causes lateness to school and missed lectures. A driver who regularly uses the route called on the government to urgently complete repairs on the remaining lane to ease the hardship for commuters. Meanwhile, a Kaduna State Vigilance Service officer said a joint task force set up by Governor Uba Sani has begun operations to manage traffic and reduce accidents, although he noted that more equipment is still needed to improve efficiency, especially at night. Commuters are urging authorities to accelerate rehabilitation work to restore smooth movement and improve safety along the expressway.

Why I turned down INEC ambassador appointment – Governor Amuneke

Nigerian skitmaker and satirical content creator Kevin Chinedu has explained why he rejected an appointment to serve as a youth ambassador for the Independent National Electoral Commission. Speaking in a video shared on his X handle, Amuneke said he was initially excited about the offer, describing it as a major recognition of his journey as a content creator. However, he said his excitement changed after he was informed that the role would come with restrictions on his content, particularly on criticism of INEC. According to him, while he would be allowed to promote civic awareness, such as voter registration, he would not be permitted to directly criticise the electoral body. He said the condition raised concerns because his content is largely based on political satire and holding public institutions accountable. Amuneke added that accepting such terms would conflict with the purpose of his platform, which he described as rooted in public feedback, governance issues, and the experiences of ordinary citizens. He stated that he could not operate under conditions that limit his freedom of expression, stressing that his voice represents many people who rely on his platform to express concerns. The comedian appreciated the offer, but said he prefers to maintain independence in his work, even if it means turning down official recognition or partnerships.

Footballers earn more than musicians — Skales

Nigerian singer Skales has said that footballers earn more money than musicians, pointing to the structure and financial stability within professional football. Speaking during an interview, he explained that footballers enjoy consistent income through salaries and bonuses as long as they remain active, regardless of their global fame. According to him, the music industry is far more competitive and unpredictable, with success often dependent on staying relevant over time. He noted that while musicians can rise quickly, they can also lose relevance just as fast, making income less stable compared to sports. Skales also revealed that he once lost a jewellery deal worth over $300,000 because it was tied to a young footballer, highlighting how players benefit from lucrative endorsement opportunities. He added that even less popular footballers can secure endorsement deals, unlike many musicians who struggle to earn consistently. The singer concluded that while a few artists achieve major financial success, football offers a more reliable path to financial stability for those who make it professionally.

Unilorin SSANU, NASU join nationwide strike

Activities have been grounded at the University of Ilorin following the commencement of an indefinite strike by members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions. The unions staged a peaceful protest at the main gate of the university, displaying placards with inscriptions such as demands for fair treatment, payment of withheld salaries, and a 45% salary increment instead of the proposed 30%. According to the SSANU chairman at UNILORIN, Prof. Falowo Olushola, the strike was triggered by the Federal Government’s failure to conclude and implement the 2009 agreement with non-teaching staff unions. He noted that the unions had issued several ultimatums since 2025, but no concrete action was taken, prompting the indefinite strike. Similarly, NASU chairman Suberu Ibrahim said the agitation has lingered for years, with renegotiations ongoing since 2017 without resolution, while non-teaching staff continue to face marginalisation. The unions are demanding full implementation of the 2009 agreement, a 45% salary increase, payment of outstanding arrears from 2022, and equal treatment with academic staff. The strike, which began on May 1, 2026, is part of a nationwide industrial action affecting federal and state universities, as well as inter-university centres. Despite ongoing talks, union leaders insist the strike will continue until their demands are fully met, stressing that only concrete agreements, not promises, will lead to its suspension.

Dubai airport traffic plunges 66% amid Iran-UAE tensions

Passenger traffic at Dubai International Airport dropped sharply by 66% in March 2026, following attacks linked to escalating tensions between Iran and United Arab Emirates. According to the Dubai Media Office, the airport handled just 2.5 million passengers during the month, a steep decline from its usual figures as one of the world’s busiest international travel hubs. The disruption was attributed to restricted airspace and reduced flight operations caused by regional instability during the Middle East conflict. Dubai International was reportedly targeted multiple times by drone strikes as the UAE faced retaliatory actions connected to wider geopolitical tensions in the region. Overall, first-quarter passenger traffic fell by 21% to 18.6 million, significantly below expectations. The airport had previously recorded 95.2 million passengers in 2025 and was projected to reach nearly 100 million in 2026 before the crisis. Despite the setback, authorities say airspace has now been fully restored, and efforts are underway to gradually scale up operations as flight routes stabilise.

Sweden arrests Chinese captain of suspected ‘shadow fleet’ ship

Authorities in Sweden have arrested the Chinese captain of a vessel suspected of being part of Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet,” used to bypass Western sanctions. The ship, identified as Jin Hui, was boarded by the Swedish coast guard over the weekend after it was suspected of sailing under a false Syrian flag. According to prosecutors, the captain was detained on suspicion of using forged documents and violating maritime safety regulations related to the vessel’s seaworthiness. The tanker is reportedly listed under sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine. Officials say Russia’s “shadow fleet” consists of ageing vessels with unclear ownership and inadequate insurance, raising concerns about safety and environmental risks. Swedish authorities confirmed that investigations are ongoing, with plans to question the captain and coordinate with international partners as part of the probe.

OPEC exit not directed against anyone – UAE official

A senior United Arab Emirates official has said the country’s decision to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was not aimed at any country. Speaking in Abu Dhabi, UAE minister and ADNOC CEO Sultan Al Jaber said the move was driven purely by national interests and long-term economic strategy. He explained that the exit, which took effect on Friday, is part of a broader plan to reposition the UAE within the global energy landscape and strengthen its economy. “The decision… is not directed against anyone,” he said, despite reports of tensions with Saudi Arabia, widely seen as OPEC’s leading member. The UAE, previously OPEC’s fourth-largest oil producer, has had longstanding disagreements over production quotas, which limited its output to about 3.4 million barrels per day. Authorities in Abu Dhabi are now aiming to increase production capacity to five million barrels per day by 2027, alongside major investments in the energy and technology sectors. Officials say leaving OPEC will give the country greater flexibility to expand production, attract investment, and diversify its economy, including into artificial intelligence and industrial development. Analysts note that while the UAE is not the first country to exit OPEC, it is the most significant producer to do so, a move that could impact the group’s ability to influence global oil prices.

Lizzy Anjorin accepts Paulo’s ₦10m boxing challenge to fight Iyabo Ojo

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has accepted a long-standing celebrity boxing challenge involving fellow actress Iyabo Ojo and show promoter Paulo Okoye. In a post shared on Instagram, Anjorin confirmed she was ready to step into the ring, years after the ₦10 million prize fight was first proposed. However, she added new conditions to the challenge, insisting that Paulo must first fight her husband, Chief Lawal, in a 10-round match before she faces Iyabo Ojo the following day. The development marks another escalation in the long-running feud between Anjorin and Ojo, which has spanned social media exchanges, legal battles, and public confrontations. Their dispute intensified in 2025 when Ojo filed a ₦1 billion defamation suit against Anjorin, although the case was later struck out on procedural grounds. Anjorin also used the opportunity to issue fresh personal challenges, calling on both Ojo and Paulo to publicly prove their wealth and achievements. The renewed boxing proposal comes amid rising interest in celebrity boxing in Nigeria, following recent high-profile bouts involving entertainers. Despite the excitement, it remains unclear whether the proposed matches will materialise, as neither Iyabo Ojo nor Paulo Okoye has officially responded to the new terms.
