  • DHQ — 800 Boko Haram terrorists have repented

    DHQ — 800 Boko Haram terrorists have repented

    The Defence Headquarters DHQ has disclosed that 800 former Boko Haram terrorists have repented and are undergoing deradicalisation.

    The Chief of Defence Training and Operations, Emeka Onumajuru, disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV Morning Brief on Monday.

    He stated that the deradicalisation of the former fighters who surrendered to the military, is part of efforts to reintegrate them into society.

    According to him, while 129,000 Boko Haram fighters and their families had so far surrendered, only a select group had been chosen for rehabilitation.

    The Chief further explained that all surrendered individuals are subjected to legal scrutiny, with those found guilty facing prosecution, while others deemed fit for rehabilitation are placed in the deradicalisation programme.

    “To get the numbers right, right now, (we have) about 129,000 surrendered Boko Haram members and their families.

    “Some of them are in detention facilities, some of them are in Kainji, and there is a special court that goes through all of them. Those that were found culpable face the books, and those that are going to be deradicalised go through the process, which takes about a year,” he stated.

    The military chief defended the feasibility of rehabilitating former insurgents within a year, noting that the programme is handled by professionals under Operation Safe Corridor, a non-kinetic approach to combating terrorism.

    “It’s possible because the deradicalisation is done by professionals. That one-year period is sufficient enough, depending on the people handling the deradicalisation,” Onumajuru added.

  • JAMB sets 320 UTME benchmark, opens doors to exceptional underage candidates

    JAMB sets 320 UTME benchmark, opens doors to exceptional underage candidates

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates below the age of 16 may be considered for admission into tertiary institutions if they demonstrate exceptional academic ability.

    According to reports, these candidates must score at least 80% in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which equates to a minimum of 320 marks out of 400.

    This decision follows the recent reversal of the mandatory 18-year admission age requirement introduced by former Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman. The current Minister of Education, Olatunji Alausa, has reinstated the previous benchmark of 16 years, a move widely welcomed by education stakeholders.

    At a meeting with key stakeholders, including Chief External Examiners, Chief Technical Advisors, and members of the Equal Opportunity Group, JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede reaffirmed that while 16 remains the standard minimum age, exceptional candidates under 16 may be admitted under strict conditions.

    Special Consideration for Gifted Candidates

    A transcript from the meeting published in JAMB’s bulletin quoted Oloyede as saying:

    “Age plays a crucial role in maturity and academic development. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be age limits for leadership positions such as local government chairman. Biological age is linked to intellectual growth, and while rules exist, there must be room for exceptions.”

    He clarified that while the minimum age for admission is 16, gifted students should not be overlooked. These individuals must demonstrate outstanding academic ability across multiple assessments, including UTME, WASSCE, Post-UTME, and GCE O/Level.

    “If a candidate under 16 scores 200 out of 400 in UTME, can they truly be considered exceptional? However, if they achieve 80% (320/400), that signals outstanding ability and warrants consideration,” Oloyede added.

    Concerns Over Private Universities and Age Manipulation

    Oloyede also raised concerns about private universities admitting underage students, noting that many struggle academically, with up to 80% eventually being transferred to other programs due to poor performance.

    He further condemned the practice of parents falsifying birth records to secure early admission for their children, only to later attempt to alter their ages to meet the eligibility criteria for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.

    To address these concerns, JAMB has introduced a mock UTME for underage candidates.

    Speaking recently in Lagos, Oloyede clarified that the mock exam is not for admission purposes but rather to help younger candidates assess their academic preparedness before attempting the UTME.

    “We are starting the sale of forms on the 31st of January till 5th of March. There will be a mock exam on the 23rd of February and on the 8th of March there will be UTME,” the JAMB Registrar said.

    NUC increases application fee for establishment of private university from N5 to N25million

    The National Universities Commission (NUC) has increased the application fee for those seeking to establish private universities in Nigeria, from N5 to N25million.

    The commission’s Executive Secretary, Abdullahi Ribadu, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, stating that the price hike is for better coordination.

    He also stated that it is to ensure that newly established private universities are positioned to meet the challenges of the 21 Century.

    The NUC increased the fee for purchase of application forms for the Establishment of a Private University from N1m to N5m.

    The Commission also raised the processing fee for application for the establishment of a private university from N5m to N25m.

    The NUC said the N25m reviewed fee would be communicated to applicants who have purchased the application form at the former rate of N1m but are yet to pay the processing fee for their application.

    “They are also expected to effect payments within a period of 30 working days or risk forfeiture of their pending applications,” the statement read.

    The Commission also suspended further processing of all inactive applications including those of private open universities (those that have not made progress on their applications or made submissions to the Commission for upwards of two years).

    Dairy Expert: Nigerians Consume Creamers, Not Milk

    Manufacturer, the Operations Director of Manufacturing Industry Canada, Olufemi Johnson, said what is consumed as milk in Nigeria are creamers.

    Johnson made this known in an interview with Channels Television on Thursday while speaking on the challenges facing Nigeria’s dairy industry.

    According to him, Nigeria’s dairy has remained stagnated due to under-investment.

    “When it comes to the dairy industry, we are not anywhere in Nigeria.

    “As a society, we don’t have milk, or kids don’t have milk protein. We didn’t grow with milk protein. What we called milk in Nigeria is not milk but creamers. They are not qualified to be called milk.

    “There is a global standard of what is called milk. You don’t milk, milk, but bottle it,” he stated.

    Experts in the have lamented the widespread of inferior milk in Nigeria.

    Recall that the federal government in June 2024 launched the National Dairy Policy, 2023-2028 to drive growth in the sector.

    The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has announced that operations at the Warri Refinery have been temporarily shut down for routine maintenance, assuring the public that the facility will be back online soon.

    One of the voice notes allegedly from the twins contained harsh insults:
    “Are you stupid or mad? Are you well trained? I doubt if you are. I am an identical twin. Two heads are better than one ugly head; you cursed pain animal. You blockheaded idiot, you and your friend as ashawo, you don’t have sense. You think you can suppress ladies that are doing well than you. You make your money by sleeping around with men.”

    In her words, “I deal with customers like you. I will deal with you till you lose your name. If you text me again, you will hate yourself. You are very, very stupid. I will show you that it’s not every vendor you open your mouth and talk to. You just made payment and you had the guts to come to my DM to ask what’s next? Broke customers like you are the ones who pay small cash and have mouth once they pay. Don’t get me pissed.”

  • House of reps clarifies 31 State creation requests

    House of reps clarifies 31 State creation requests

    House of Representatives spokesperson, Akin Rotimi, has clarified that the recent proposals for the creation of 31 new states do not reflect an official resolution of the parliament.

    According to reports, during Thursday’s plenary session, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu—who also chairs the Constitution Review Committee—acknowledged that the House had received several requests for state creation. He directed that all proposals must comply with Section 8 of the 1999 Constitution and be resubmitted by March 5. This section outlines the legal framework for establishing new states.

    In a statement on Friday, Rotimi dismissed reports suggesting that the House was actively pushing for the creation of new states. He stressed that, like all constitutional amendment proposals, these submissions must go through extensive legislative scrutiny, including public hearings, stakeholder consultations, and multiple approval stages before any constitutional changes can take place.

    “This information is inaccurate and misrepresents the legislative process,” he said.

    “For clarity, as with all constitutional amendment proposals, these submissions will undergo thorough legislative scrutiny, including public hearings, stakeholder engagements, and multiple levels of approval before any constitutional changes can be made.”

    He reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to following constitutional provisions and only considering proposals that meet the stipulated guidelines.

    Rotimi assured Nigerians that the House remains committed to a transparent and inclusive constitutional review process that aligns with the collective will of the people.

    Recall that Gistreel had previously reported that the proposal by the House of Representatives Constitution Review Committee to create 31 additional states has sparked widespread reactions from prominent individuals and socio-political groups across the country.

    Similarly, former House of Representatives member Barth Nnanna has strongly opposed the idea, arguing that adding 31 more states would make governance in Nigeria cumbersome, unmanageable, and chaotic.
