- According to the latest report published on Thursday, November 19, 2025, Nigeria has recorded 966 confirmed cases and 177 deaths across 21 states within the first ten months of the year. This raises the Case Fatality Rate to 18.3 percent, up from 16.5 percent recorded in the same period last year.
Lassa fever, a viral haemorrhagic illness spread mainly through food or household items contaminated with rodent urine or feces, continues to threaten many households, especially during its peak seasons. For affected families, these are not just numbers but lives disrupted and communities deeply impacted.
The NCDC report notes that Ondo, Bauchi, Edo, and Taraba States account for 87 percent of all confirmed infections, indicating sustained transmission in these regions. So far, 102 Local Government Areas have reported cases, with epidemiological week 44 recording 12 new infections—slightly higher than the previous week.

- Guinea-Bissau, a small West African nation, experienced a military takeover—the latest in a wave of coups across the continent. The coup unfolded during a recent presidential election on November 26th, suspending the constitution and imposing a curfew. President Umaro Sissoco Embaló is confirmed to be detained at the general-staff headquarters in Bissau, his whereabouts now secured by the military.
Since 2020, Africa has endured at least ten successful coups, including in Mali, Chad, Guinea, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Niger, Gabon, and now Guinea-Bissau. Just weeks ago, on October 12, Madagascar joined this troubling trend. These events highlight deep-rooted issues—weak institutions, leadership failures, and economic struggles—that are gripping the region. Notably, this is not Guinea-Bissau’s first coup; the country has faced at least nine since gaining independence in 1974.
Among those caught in the initial chaos was former Nigerian President Goodluck Jona...

- Northern Nigeria is witnessing one of its darkest moments in education, as renewed attacks and mass school closures push thousands of children out of classrooms. With fresh abductions and government-ordered shutdowns, learning is once again under siege.
For more than a decade, insecurity has crippled education across the North. Over 600 schools have been forced to shut at different times as communities flee bandits, insurgents, and kidnappers. That crisis deepened this week when the Federal Government ordered the immediate closure of 47 Unity Colleges, mostly in northern states.
The directive followed two major school attacks within seventy-two hours.
In Kebbi State, gunmen invaded the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga. At least 25 schoolgirls were abducted, and the school’s Vice Principal, Hassan Makuku, was shot dead while trying to shield the students.
Just three days later, another group struck St. Mary’s Catho...

- Twenty-four students abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, have been released after spending seven days in captivity.
The students were taken on 17 November when armed men entered the school in the early hours, shortly after a military detachment had withdrawn from the area. The incident prompted wide public concern over renewed threats to school safety across the North-West.
The Nigerian military handed over the rescued students of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, to Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris.
The handover ceremony took place in the early hours of Wednesday in Birnin Kebbi and was led by the Theatre Commander, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Major General Warrah Idris, acting on the directive of the Minister of State for Defence, Muhammad Bello Matawalle.

- On 20 November 2025, a decade-long legal saga that gripped the Federal Republic of Nigeria reached its dramatic conclusion in an Abuja courtroom.
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Federal High Court.
Born in Abia State in 1967, Nnamdi Kanu held British and Nigerian citizenship. After studying in London, he founded Radio Biafra in 2009 and formally established IPOB in 2012. His central demand was a referendum to restore an independent Republic of Biafra — the state that had collapsed in 1970 after a devastating civil war that claimed more than a million lives.
What began as provocative broadcasts from London grew into one of Nigeria’s gravest internal security crises since that war.

- Why CBT WASSCE is moving to 2030

- Description
- The House of Representatives has called for a pause in Nigeria’s plan to introduce Computer-Based Testing, or CBT, for the 2026 WASSCE exams. The lawmakers say the country is not yet ready for such a major shift in how students take their exams.
CBT was first introduced by WAEC in Nigeria as a way to modernize examinations, improve efficiency, and reduce examination malpractice. Other countries in West Africa, such as Ghana and Sierra Leone, have successfully adopted computer-based exams in recent years, prompting Nigeria to follow suit.
However, concerns have emerged over inadequate preparation, poor infrastructure, and the risk of widespread failure if CBT is rolled out too quickly. In response, the House has directed the Federal Ministry of Education and WAEC to suspend CBT until 2030, giving schools, students, and teachers ample time to prepare.
Lawmakers also urged the Ministry and state governments to allocate funds in the 2026 to 2...

- Pope Leo XIV has raised serious concerns about Nigeria’s growing security crisis, saying, “In Nigeria, in certain areas, there is certainly danger for Christians, but for all people. Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered.”
He warned that violence driven by extremism, economic pressures, and land disputes is taking a heavy toll on communities. The Pope urged stronger government action, adding, “It’s very important to seek a way, the government with all people, to promote authentic religious freedom and respect for all people.”

- Severe air pollution in Delhi has forced a major shift in the city’s education system. Millions of school children have had their routines disrupted as thick, hazardous smog covers the city. With air quality dropping to dangerous levels, the Delhi government has directed schools up to class 5 to move to a hybrid system — combining online and physical courses — to protect young learners.
The announcement on November 11, 2025, came after a surge in respiratory illnesses among children. Health experts raised concerns that prolonged exposure to the toxic air could lead to long-term complications. Officials say they will continue monitoring the situation closely and may switch to fully online classes if pollution levels worsen.
During a press briefing, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta explained that the decision followed the activation of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP Stage III, a set of emergency measures designed to reduce pollution. These include a ban o...

- Description
- The Federal Government has again reversed one of its major education policies, this time cancelling the 2022 mother-tongue policy, which required schools to teach pupils from early childhood to Primary Six in their indigenous languages.
The announcement was made by Education Minister Dr. Tunji Alausa at the British Council’s Language in Education Conference in Abuja, and later confirmed at the 69th National Council on Education meeting held in Akure between November 3 and 7.
Dr. Alausa said the reversal was based on evidence, pointing to WAEC, NECO and JAMB records that, according to him, show higher failure rates in regions that relied heavily on mother-tongue instruction. He also noted that Nigeria does not have enough trained teachers, textbooks or classroom support to teach effectively in hundreds of local languages.
But global bodies like UNESCO, UNICEF and the World Bank and even research published by the British Council, argue that childr...
