  More than 100 women and children have reportedly been abducted by armed bandits in Maburya community, Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State. According to an eyewitness and resident of the community, the bandits invaded the area after tracing residents to their usual hiding places on top of a hill in the village.

NELFUND Slams Tertiary Institutions for Raising Fees, Delaying Student Refunds

Image
  NELFUND Condemns Tuition Fee Hikes, Refund Delays by Tertiary Institutions The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has criticised what it described as unethical practices by some tertiary institutions in the implementation of the Federal Government's Student Loan Scheme. The agency accused the institutions of delaying or refusing to refund students who had already paid their tuition fees before NELFUND disbursed the loan funds. The Fund also raised concerns over reports that some institutions have arbitrarily increased tuition fees and other charges, warning that such actions undermine the purpose of the student loan programme introduced by the administration of President Bola Tinubu to improve access to higher education. In a statement issued on Monday, NELFUND's Director of Strategic Communications, Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, said the scheme was created to remove financial barriers to higher education, not to impose additional hardship on students through unfair institutional pr...

FG Approves Major NYSC Reforms After 53 Years

NYSC MEMBERS FG Approves Major NYSC Reforms After 53 Years The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a far-reaching reform of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), marking the first comprehensive restructuring of the scheme since its establishment in 1973. The reforms, approved during Monday's FEC meeting in Abuja, are designed to transform the NYSC into a modern, skills-driven and productivity-oriented institution that supports the Federal Government's economic development agenda. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of civilian leadership for the NYSC. While the scheme will now be headed by a civilian, the military will continue to provide security support for corps members across the country. To facilitate the implementation of the reforms, the FEC directed the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development to amend the NYSC Act and other relevant regulations to provide the necessary legal framework. Announcing t...
