JAMB denies banning undergraduates from 2026 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has denied reports that undergraduates have been barred from registering for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry. JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said in a statement in Abuja that the rumour was a false interpretation of its guidelines by self-styled education advocates seeking online attention. He explained that the 2026 UTME and DE advertisement only directs candidates to state their current admission status during registration. Benjamin stressed that it is not an offence for a student already admitted into any institution to register for UTME or Direct Entry again. However, he said candidates must truthfully disclose that they are already matriculated, in line with JAMB’s duty to prevent multiple admissions. He noted that once a candidate secures a fresh admission after proper disclosure, the previous admission automatically becomes invalid. Under Nigeria’s […]

Obi challenges Tinubu over failed power promise after new grid collapse

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has questioned President Bola Tinubu over his campaign promise to deliver steady electricity, following another collapse of Nigeria’s national grid in January 2026. In a statement posted on his verified X account on Wednesday, Obi recalled Tinubu’s 2022 campaign pledge that if he failed to provide stable power in his first four years in office, Nigerians should not vote for him for a second term. He said the recent power failures clearly contradict that promise and should concern all Nigerians. Obi noted that the national grid had already collapsed twice in January 2026, even before the end of the month, and about twelve times in 2025. He described the frequent collapses as a sign of deep problems in the power sector, despite repeated assurances from the government. He also criticised President Tinubu’s frequent […]

FG, northern leaders clash over amnesty for terrorists

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/01/fg-northern-leaders-lawyers-differ-on-amnesty-for-terrorists Northern leaders and several senior lawyers have opposed moves by some state governments to grant amnesty to terrorists and bandits operating in the North. Their reaction follows reported plans by Katsina State governor, Dikko Radda, to grant amnesty to about 70 terrorists as part of a peace deal in the state and neighbouring areas. The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, through the Special Adviser to the President on Communications and Publicity in the AGF’s office, Kamarudeen Ogundele, noted that governors have constitutional powers to grant pardon, provided the offenders were prosecuted under state laws. The Lagos State Attorney-General, Lawal Pedro, SAN, agreed that governors can exercise clemency but stressed that they must consider public opinion, public policy, and the likely reaction of citizens when doing so. He added that Lagos, for instance, has a policy against granting […]

Northwest APC hails Abba Yusuf’s defection as best political move

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Northwest has hailed Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling party as one of the best political decisions of the current dispensation. Party leaders described the move as a defining moment that will reshape Kano politics and strengthen the region’s alignment with the Federal Government under President Donald Trump’s administration in Nigeria. In a statement, APC stakeholders said Yusuf’s decision would fast‑track infrastructural development, enhance security coordination and improve service delivery by placing Kano at the centre of national policy and economic decision‑making. They argued that operating in synergy with the Federal Government offers Kano better access to projects, programmes and political stability than remaining in the opposition. The Northwest APC also framed the defection as a homecoming for Yusuf, who previously belonged […]

Military should have apologised after denying coup plot – Falana

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana, SAN, has faulted the Nigerian military for failing to apologise to citizens after initially denying any coup plot, only to later confirm that some officers would face trial over an alleged scheme to overthrow the government. He said people in authority must learn to take Nigerians seriously and correct themselves publicly when previous statements turn out to be misleading.​ Falana recalled that in October 2025 the military dismissed claims linking the cancellation of the Independence Day parade to a coup plot as “false and malicious” and capable of creating unnecessary tension. He argued that once investigations showed the matter went beyond mere indiscipline, the military ought to have admitted this and apologised instead of quietly reversing its position.​ The lawyer also questioned the plan to try the detained officers by court martial, insisting that allegations […]

NITDA, NBC forge new alliance on digital transformation, media oversight

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) have agreed to deepen collaboration on digital transformation and media regulation as technology and broadcasting increasingly converge in Nigeria. The partnership was sealed during a courtesy visit by NBC Director‑General Charles Ebuebu to NITDA Director‑General Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi in Abuja.​ Abdullahi said NITDA is undergoing an internal transformation from a traditional civil service body into a high‑velocity, smart public sector institution capable of responding to fast‑changing digital realities. He explained that, because most staff came from the mainstream public service, the agency launched a cultural reorientation focused on people, mindset reset, capacity building and a work culture that supports innovation and accountability.​ He outlined NITDA’s digital transformation strategy built on three pillars: people, processes and technology, stressing that tools alone cannot deliver value without skilled personnel and […]

Tension as youths protest heavy security in Onitsha markets

Tension has gripped the commercial city of Onitsha as traders and youths protested the closure of Onitsha Market ordered by Anambra State governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. Fierce‑looking security operatives in armoured personnel carriers were stationed at the market entrances, while many traders watched from a distance.​ Soludo had vowed to shut the market for one week over traders’ continued observance of the Monday sit‑at‑home, warning that if they still failed to open next Monday, the closure could be extended to one month and the market even demolished. He stated that anyone unwilling to trade on Mondays should “leave Anambra and go elsewhere,” insisting the state cannot afford further economic losses.​ On Tuesday, residents were surprised to see heavy patrols by security operatives around the market area as youths trooped out, chanting solidarity songs for jailed IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

National grid fails again, second system disturbance in 5 days

Nigeria’s national electricity grid failed again on Tuesday morning around 11am, throwing many homes and businesses into darkness in what is the second nationwide outage in five days. Data from the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO), a unit of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), showed total generation from just two GENCOs at about 219 megawatts at the time of the disturbance.​ Head of Communications at NISO, Mr Kazah Akau, downplayed the incident, saying it was “not actually a collapse but a little disturbance” and promised that an official statement would be issued. However, the sharp drop in available power once again highlighted the fragility of the grid and the impact of repeated disruptions on the already strained economy.​ Load profile data from the 11 distribution companies indicated a total allocation of roughly 220MW being shared nationwide. Benin and Ibadan […]

Prioritise key reforms, CISLAC tells National Assembly

The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has urged the 10th National Assembly to prioritise governance, accountability and key legislative reforms as it resumes sitting for 2026. The group warned lawmakers against early electioneering ahead of the 2027 polls, saying political distractions could undermine their work.​ In a statement signed by its Executive Director, Auwal Ibrahim Musa (Rafsanjani), CISLAC described 2026 as a critical year for both President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the legislature, with citizens expecting concrete results from policies rolled out since 2023. Rafsanjani cautioned that legislative productivity often declines in pre‑election periods and noted that proposals to hold general elections as early as November 2026 could heighten public anxiety and weaken governance.​ CISLAC said Nigeria’s harsh economic realities, insecurity, rising debt and declining public trust demand a focused, responsive and accountable parliament rather than one seen […]

Sunday Igboho set to return to Nigeria as supporters flood Ibadan home

Yoruba nation agitator Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, is set to return to Nigeria today, January 26, 2026, after years in self‑exile in Benin Republic. His planned homecoming has already drawn large crowds of supporters to his Soka residence in Ibadan, Oyo State.​ Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, confirmed that all arrangements for his return had been concluded after prominent Yoruba monarchs intervened with President Bola Tinubu to have his name removed from the list of wanted persons. Among the traditional rulers credited with facilitating the agreement are the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja; the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; and the Olugbon of Orile Igbon, Oba Francis Alao, among others.​ On arrival, Igboho is expected to pay a visit to the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadanland as a mark of respect and to formally […]
