  • Naira falls to N1,612/$1 at official market

    Naira falls to N1,612/$1 at official market

    The Nigerian naira continued its downward trend at the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM), closing at N1,612 per dollar on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

    This marks a slight depreciation from N1,609/$1 recorded the previous day, according to data published by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

    Despite the CBN’s ongoing efforts to stabilise the currency, including increased foreign exchange market interventions and a marginal rise in external reserves, the naira’s value remains under pressure.

    Wednesday’s trading session saw increased volatility, with the naira exchanging as high as N1,615/$1 and as low as N1,605.01/$1, reflecting a broader in-day range compared to Tuesday’s narrower band of N1,609.5/$1 to N1,603/$1.

    Analysts and market participants attribute the latest decline to persistent liquidity constraints and delayed foreign currency inflows, which have limited the supply of dollars in the market. These issues continue to challenge the effectiveness of the CBN’s interventions and underscore the fragile state of Nigeria’s forex landscape.

    The CBN has reiterated its commitment to ensuring stability in the foreign exchange market, but traders note that without stronger inflows and improved investor confidence, the naira could remain vulnerable to further depreciation in the near term.

    Reacting to the money laundering allegation, VDM expressed confusion and disbelief over the accusation, pointing out that he does not possess the kind of wealth associated with such a charge.

    “How would they level allegations of money laundering on someone who doesn’t have money?” he questioned in the video. “I have done so many charity \[projects], they wonder how. They don’t know I use debt for charity.”

    Despite the ordeal, VDM appeared in good spirits, assuring his followers that he had been released.

    “Anyway, we are outside, with my lawyer of course,” he added.

  • Minister: UTME mass failure proof anti-malpractice measures working

    Minister: UTME mass failure proof anti-malpractice measures working

    The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has said the high failure rate in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is clear evidence that the government’s anti-malpractice measures are yielding results, especially within the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board system.

    His remarks come amid nationwide concern following JAMB’s release of results showing that out of 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 UTME, only about 420,000 scored above 200 — meaning more than 78 percent failed to meet the 200-mark threshold.

    Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Tuesday, Alausa said the drop in performance reflects a significant decline in examination malpractice due to JAMB’s tightened security protocols.

    “That’s a big concern, and it’s a reflection of exams being done the proper way,” the minister said. “JAMB conducts its exam using a computer-based testing system. They’ve implemented strong security measures, and as a result, fraud or cheating has been completely eliminated. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for WAEC and NECO.”

    Alausa disclosed that upon assumption of office, the education ministry conducted a full review of the country’s examination systems.

    As part of broader reforms, he announced that both the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council will begin transitioning to computer-based testing by November 2025, starting with objective papers.

    The full CBT model — including essay sections — will be adopted by the May/June 2026 examination cycle.

    “We have to use technology to fight this fraud,” Alausa said. “There are so many ‘miracle centres’, and that is simply unacceptable. People cheat during WAEC and NECO exams and then face JAMB, where cheating is nearly impossible. That’s the disparity we’re seeing now. It’s sad,” the minister said.

    He also warned that exam malpractice undermines academic integrity and demoralizes diligent students.

    Alausa said,“The worst part of cheating is that it disincentivises the hard-working ones,” he said. “If I’m preparing for WAEC or NECO and I know some classmates already have access to the questions, do you think I’ll still study hard? No, I’ll be tempted to join them. That’s how good students are corrupted, and that’s exactly what we must stop.”

    Alausa stressed that the ministry remains committed to using technology-driven solutions to restore credibility in Nigeria’s examination and admissions processes.
