Last week, we held a three-day data journalism clinic at the University of Ibadan. Here is what Oluwatomiloba Adejumobi had to say about the clinic. Data is not just evidence; it can be used as a source and inspiration for your data story. Which campus should we visit next? #DataJournalism #UniversityofIbadan #Dataphyte

The data journalism clinic held in the Department of Communication and Language Arts at the University of Ibadan ended this Friday. Over these three days, students went from not knowing anything about data journalism to sourcing and cleaning data to writing and presenting their own data stories. We’re proud of how far they've come. A very big thank you to our amazing facilitators and the Department of Communication and Language Arts at the University of Ibadan for hosting us. #datajournalism #universityofibadan #dataphyte

Atiku Abubakar has requested the Federal High Court to disqualify President Tinubu due to an alleged forged NYSC certificate. However, the new Electoral Act of 2026 has changed the timeline for raising such claims. Key insights: - Under the Electoral Act, 2026, an election result can no longer be challenged because the winner was not qualified to run due to a forged certificate. - Forgery is still not legal, as the constitution still bars anyone who submits a forged certificate to INEC, but the fight may now have to happen before the election. - Petitions filed outside the allowed grounds carry fines of at least N5 million for the lawyer and N10 million for the petitioner.
