What happens when institutions receive students’ loan payments but fail to refund those who already paid their fees?
At UDUS (@UDUSOK), some students who paid their institutional fees before @NELFUND disbursed their loans to the university say they are yet to receive their refunds. Some are waiting for refunds for both the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 academic sessions.
More concerning, some students say their portals show that their refunds have been processed, but no money has been credited to their accounts.
This story by Safwan Abubakar examines the accountability concerns surrounding the delayed refunds and the difficulties students face when loan disbursements arrive after they have already paid their fees.

🗳️ “They have concerns, but not voter cards.”
Some weeks ago, @AishatMore7236 served as a data collector for a study on political issues important to young people in Ekiti State.
She observed that while many youths expressed concerns about governance, a significant number did not have PVCs and were not actively involved in the electoral process.
In this article, she reflects on youth political apathy in Ekiti and its possible impact on the June 20 governorship election.

Press Release 📢
As the world marks #WorldPressFreedomDay 2026, the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) joins journalists globally in reaffirming the importance of a free, independent, and safe press.
This year's commemoration comes at a critical moment marked by growing conflict, economic instability, shrinking funding for independent media, political repression, restrictive legal frameworks, regulatory pressures, rapid technological shifts, and increasing attacks against journalists. Across Africa, these challenges continue to be reflected in the growing number of attacks documented by the CJID Press Attack Tracker (PAT).
On this World Press Freedom Day, the CJID reaffirms its resolute commitment to defending free and independent journalism. Freedom of expression is the lifeblood of democracy, a fundamental right enshrined in national and international laws, and essential to the defense and enjoyment of all other human rights.

You introduced a new transport system but forgot the most important thing “enough buses”. I’ve been on the queue since 7:30am for an 8am class; it’s 8:30 and I’m still on the queue. What exactly are we paying for? This isn’t inconvenience, it’s setting students up to fail.

In Nigeria, women rely on different menstrual management methods, with their choices often influenced by cost, availability, and awareness.

Reusable pads, while eco-friendly, can increase the risk of infections if not properly maintained. Let's prioritize menstrual health and hygiene.
