From medical school to scientific research, and now the U.S. Senate.
Meet Abdul El-Sayed.
A Columbia-trained medical doctor, Oxford PhD, Rhodes Scholar, and former professor of epidemiology.
With over 4,200 research citations and more than 100 scientific publications, his academic career is impressive in its own right. Now, he has become the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.

My visits to RUDN University, Ural Federal University, Kazan Federal University and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University gave me a new perspective on education in Russia.
Beyond the beautiful campuses and academic environments, the experience exposed me to diverse learning, opportunities, international exposure and possibilities for academic growth…..As a young graduate aspiring to further my education, these visits have only strengthened my desire to become part of this academic community someday.
Russia has so much to offer in education, and I hope more young Nigerians get to discover these opportunities.
Perhaps, one of these universities will be my next academic destination….Who knows? 😊❤️

DISCLAIMER: FAKE NEWS!
The attention of PUNCH Newspapers has been drawn to a fabricated news report circulating on social media, bearing the headline: *“Hotel Owner Counts ₦350m Destruction as Obidients Failed to Verify Obi’s Presence in Calabar.”*
PUNCH Newspapers wishes to categorically state that it did not publish the purported report. The headline, accompanying image and publication are fake and should not be attributed to the newspaper.
The fabricated publication is currently being circulated through the following links:
teapawt.net/sirlablu/status/211841…
teapawt.net/Sistaliano/status/2118…
The newspaper dissociates itself from the misleading publication and urges members of the public to disregard it and refrain from further sharing the fabricated content.
Readers are advised to verify news reports through PUNCH's official website, punchng.com, and its verified social media platforms.
PUNCH Newspapers remains committed to responsible journalism, accuracy and the dissemination of credible information.
We urge the public to beware of fake publications and accounts impersonating PUNCH Newspapers.
Thank you.

Some time ago, @hbsNigeria brought together 22 young Nigerians for a week of intensive learning, powerful conversations and shared aspirations for a more socially just, inclusive and sustainable future.
Now, hear from the fifth cohort of the #NigeriaGreenAcademy as they reflect on their journey and key takeaways. Their stories tell it best. 💚#NGA2026

How did educated Nigerians, including much of our media, come to accept the term “bandits” for organised armed groups that massacre civilians, perpetrate mass rape, ambush military convoys, attack military aircraft, extort billions through ransom and illegal taxation, and seize, govern and violently defend territories for years?
I find this persistent mischaracterisation deeply disturbing, particularly from journalists, security analysts and public officials who should understand the gravity of the crimes they are describing.
At what point did sustained, organised violence against civilian populations, accompanied by territorial control and systematic intimidation, become something as casually described as “banditry”?
This is not a harmless semantic distinction. Language shapes public understanding, influences policy responses and determines how seriously society confronts atrocities. When we minimise the identity of perpetrators, we risk diminishing the enormity of their crimes and obscuring the experiences of their victims.
Nigeria's security crisis is grave enough without the intellectual dishonesty of sanitising terrorism through convenient vocabulary.
Call terrorism by its name. Call those who perpetrate it terrorists.

You see that law in China where you have to prove expertise before discussing a given topic on social media pertaining to sensitive areas such as medicine, law, finance, education….
Yeah, we need it!!!!!
This is interesting because I travelled through NAIA on Saturday and there was no water in the restroom, at a time Ebola was in town!
Before that day, they said N10 billion had been released. So hopefully, this is not another ruse.
FG approves ₦45.08bn to install disease detection systems at five Nigerian airports
The Federal Government has approved ₦45.08 billion for the deployment of an integrated biosecurity and disease surveillance system at five international airports across Nigeria.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Ali Pate, disclosed this after Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.
According to Pate, the project will be implemented through a 20-year public-private partnership with the BioHealth Consortium and is aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s ability to detect and respond swiftly to emerging infectious disease threats.
The initiative will cover airports in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt and Enugu, with technologies including aircraft wastewater surveillance, air and surface sampling, and specialised pathogen detection systems.
Pate said the surveillance network would monitor a range of potentially dangerous pathogens, while improving coordination among relevant agencies and strengthening health security at Nigeria’s borders.
The minister also provided an update on the country’s Ebola situation, confirming that the patient diagnosed in October has recovered.
He added that contact tracing and other containment measures were still ongoing to prevent the virus from spreading within the community.
