• PLATEAU GOVERNMENT ORDERS TEMPORARY SCHOOL CLOSURE OVER DIPHTHERIA CONCERNS  The Plateau State Government has ordered the temporary closure of all public and private primary and secondary schools across the state, effective Monday, September 7, 2026.  The government says the measure is preventive, following suspected cases of diphtheria infection reported in parts of Jos North, Wase, Jos South and Bassa Local Government Areas.  Schools that have already resumed are also directed to close until further notice.  The government has urged school proprietors, teachers, parents and guardians to comply with the directive and ensure pupils and students remain at home.  Further information on resumption will be communicated in due course.
  • SADEEQ SABO FIRES BACK AT CHRISTOPHER MUSA OVER EL-RUFA’I REMARKS  A member of the El-Rufa’i School of Thought, Sadeeq Sabo, has strongly criticised Defence Minister Christopher Musa over recent comments about former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufa’i.  Musa, speaking on Arise TV, accused El-Rufa’i of actions that contributed to division in Kaduna and made other critical remarks about the former governor.  Reacting in a post on his Facebook page, Sabo said Musa was entitled to his opinion but insisted that opinions should not be presented as facts.  Sabo challenged the Defence Minister to provide evidence to support what he described as “reckless remarks,” adding that those who identify with the El-Rufa’i school of thought are not concerned about seeking validation from their critics.  He also criticised what he described as a sense of entitlement, declaring that he does not tolerate “entitled brats.”  Sabo’s comments have added a new dimension to the growing public debate over Musa’s criticism of the former Kaduna governor.

  • MUTFWANG ORDERS IMMEDIATE HALT TO HISBAH ACTIVITIES IN JOS NORTH  Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has directed the immediate suspension of activities by a group reportedly operating under the name Hisbah in parts of Jos North Local Government Area.  The governor described the group’s activities as illegal, unauthorised and unacceptable, stressing that no organisation has the right to operate as a law-enforcement or security body without proper approval from the relevant authorities.  Governor Mutfwang’s directive comes amid reports of the group carrying out activities in parts of Jos North under the Hisbah name.  The state government is expected to take steps to ensure that the directive is enforced and that unauthorised groups do not engage in activities capable of threatening public order or creating tension within communities.  The governor reaffirmed the responsibility of recognised security agencies to maintain law and order across Plateau State.  He also warned individuals and groups against taking the law into their own hands, stressing the need for all residents and organisations to operate within the framework of existing laws.  The directive is expected to bring an immediate halt to the reported activities of the group in Jos North while authorities continue to monitor the situation.
  • JAMB EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR CANDIDATES WITH OUTSTANDING ADMISSION OFFERS  The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the deadline for candidates with outstanding admission offers from 2021 to date to either accept or reject the offers.  The new deadline is Wednesday, September 30, 2026, replacing the earlier deadline of August 31.  JAMB’s Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said the extension provides affected candidates with a final opportunity to regularise their admission status.  The extension covers outstanding regular and CUIIA admission offers that candidates have not yet accepted or rejected.  The Board advised all affected candidates to take action before the new deadline, warning that there will be no further extension after September 30.  JAMB also clarified that candidates who are no longer studying at the institution where they received a previous admission, or who are currently enrolled in a different programme, may accept the outstanding admission and subsequently apply for the appropriate correction or deletion.  Candidates who have already secured admission during the 2026 admission exercise but still have an earlier outstanding offer were also advised not to worry. They may reject the previous offer, and JAMB said this will have no adverse effect on their 2026 admission.  The Board warned that any outstanding admission offer from 2021 to date that remains neither accepted nor rejected by September 30, 2026, will automatically revert to “Not Admitted” status on its records.  JAMB therefore urged all affected candidates to act immediately and not wait until the final day.  The September 30 deadline is final, with no further extension expected.
  • 🇺🇸🇳🇬 US TO WITHDRAW ABOUT 200 TROOPS FROM NIGERIA BY SEPTEMBER  The United States is preparing to withdraw about 200 military personnel from Nigeria by late September, according to reports citing US military officials.  Smaller teams of American trainers and intelligence personnel are expected to remain in Nigeria as Washington continues its security partnership with the country.  The US deployment, which began earlier this year, focused on intelligence, surveillance, training and counterterrorism support.  US Africa Command Commander, Gen. Dagvin Anderson, said many American troops had already been withdrawn following a May operation in the Lake Chad Basin that killed Abu Bilal al-Minuki, described by US officials as a senior Islamic State leader.  Anderson said the operation significantly weakened ISIS leadership and stressed that intelligence cooperation with Nigeria would continue.  The Pentagon has described the deployment as a model for supporting African partners through a limited military footprint rather than a large permanent presence.  The planned withdrawal therefore does not mean an end to US-Nigeria security cooperation, as Washington is expected to maintain intelligence and training support.  #USNigeria #Nigeria #USMilitary #Security #CounterTerrorism #LakeChad #AFRICOM #Terrorism #NigeriaNews #BreakingNews #Morganable
  • Bangladesh is considering joining the Mecca Pact, a defence agreement involving Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan.  The move could reshape Dhaka’s foreign relations, particularly with neighbouring India, as Bangladesh seeks to strengthen its security ties with key Muslim-majority countries.  However, Bangladesh has not made a final decision on joining the pact.

“If Lose, I Won’t Contest Again,” Says Trump

As He Answers Questions Ahead Of Coming Debate

Former United States President and Republican Nominee Donald Trumps has revealed that the November’s presidential election bid will be his last and not look to contest against if he loses.

In response to fielded questions by Sharyl Attkisson, the host of Sinclair Broadcast Group’s “Full Measure,” the Republican nominee says, “No, I don’t. No, I don’t.

“I don’t see that at all. I think that, hopefully, we’re going to be successful,” he said.

Following the incumbent President Joe Biden’s step-aside from the presidential race, Trump now appears to be the oldest presidential nominee in the United States’ presidential race.

Trump, who is a successful businessman, boasts of having wells of wealth which rank him amongst world’s billionaires. Truly, he is known for his focal figure and continues to lay down marker for the coming election.

As the election draws near, the former president will not stop to reel out challenges and uphill faced by him and his campaign team during the cause leading to the November’s election.

“I didn’t need this. I had a very nice life. I didn’t need to go through court systems and go through all the other stuff and run at the same time,” Trump told Elon Musk, when asked why he decided to launch another presidential bid.

“But if I had to do it over again, I would have done it over again, because this is so much more important than me or my life,” the Republican nominee was also asked if Tulsi Gabbard or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be reappointed into his cabinet if elected.

“It doesn’t mean anything. It means it could be, but I didn’t make deals with anybody,” Trump stated.

Another question was asked if he would love to work with Kennedy serving as Health and Human Services secretary, as proposed by Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s former running mate, Trump replied, “It’s not appropriate to do it. It’s too early.”                             “If Lose, I Won’t Contest Again,” Says Trump

CNN Debate Invitation: Harris Set To Honour, Face Trump Again

On Saturday, Vice President and Democratic Party’s nominee Kamara Harris has accepted CNN debated invitation to face the Republican Party’s counterpart, Donald Trump.

A debate scheduled to hold on the 23rd October, 2024. The United States polity is set to be heated up again as another round of debate is set to be held between Harris and Trump in the finale week of the campaign period.

According to campaign chair, Jen O’Malley Dillon, “Vice President Harris is ready for another opportunity to share a stage with Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump should have no problem agreeing to this debate.”

On Saturday, via her verified account on X, Harris posted that she “will gladly accept a second presidential debate” and that she hopes Trump “will join” her on October 23.

Contrarily, Trump protested that it might appear too late to have another presidential debate because ballots in the 2024 election are being already cast by the electorates.

Trump stated during a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, “The problem with another debate is that it’s just too late, voting has already started.”

Moments later, he reassessed his stance and proposed that he might consider participating in a third presidential debate.

It can be recalled that just a few days ago, on September 10, Trump and Harris had a heated debate organised by ABC in Philadelphia.

“Maybe if I got in the right mood,” he told reporters during a stop in California, after previously posting on Truth Social, “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!”

Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign spokesperson, when asked, on Saturday, by CNN if the former president would accept to debate again, replied by pointing CNN to the post made by Trump on his “Truth” Social Media.

A claim immediately opposed by Harris’ campaign, stating that there must be another debate, suggesting that the Republican nominee will change his mind as he always does: “changes his position every day.”

Meanwhile, Harris threw heavy weight behind another debate, stating, “I believe we owe it to the voters.”

This last debate, scheduled to hold in October, is believed to reflect the 2024 first-held presidential debate in June between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

According to reports, the coming debate will be held at CNN’s studios in Atlanta which will see Trump and Harris answer questions fielded by the moderators without any interference of studio audience for one and half hour (ninety minutes).

Both candidates were sent invitations to take part in the CNN-hosted debate as it is believed that the Americans will have a lot to learn and benefit from during the second debate between the pair contesting for the U.S presidency.

“We look forward to receiving a response from both campaigns so the American public can hear more from these candidates as they make their final decision,” according to a statement on the network.

June 27 debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump caused a crucial showdown that triggered the course of the campaign. A debate which eventually saw the president bow out of his reelection following his below-per outing.

Subsequently, his Vice, Kamara Harris, was endorsed to proceed the reelection bid due to her experience, popularity and best suitability for the position.
