Finland Plans Stricter Rules for International Students

Finland is planning new rules that would make it harder for international students to get and keep residence permits.

They may also face closer scrutiny when applying for or renewing study permits in Finland. The government says the measures are meant to protect students from financial hardship and […]

Asisat Oshoala: ‘I once dreamed of being a lawyer, not a footballer’

Super Falcons and Bay FC striker Asisat Oshoala has revealed that her childhood dream was to become a lawyer, not a professional footballer. She said she was an intelligent student and her parents strongly pushed her towards education and a legal career.

Her parents initially opposed the idea of her playing football seriously and punished her several times for choosing the game over schoolwork. “I wanted to be a lawyer,” she recalled, adding that she only began to consider football as a real career when she saw how good she was on the pitch and how quickly her talent was attracting attention. The turning point came after […]

UNICEF Urges Massive Investment in Digital Skills as Youth Population Surges

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has called for urgent, large-scale investment in digital skills to prepare Nigeria’s rapidly expanding youth population for the jobs of the future. Speaking at a media dialogue in Lagos, UNICEF’s Chief of Field Office, Celine Lafoucriere, warned that failure to act now could deepen inequality and undermine Nigeria’s development. By 2030, Nigeria will be home to an estimated 126 million children, making it one of the world’s youngest nations. Over 28 million children are already out of school, and 15% of Nigerian girls aged 15–24 are neither in school, employment, nor training. This digital gap, driven by poor infrastructure and limited device access, is a critical obstacle. UNICEF has helped train 62,000 girls in digital skills but says far larger investment is needed across infrastructure, teacher training, learning environments, and technology access. Media and […]
