 Atiku pledges scholarship to viral Niger teen miner Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said his “heart breaks” each time he watches a viral video of a teenage artisanal miner, Yusuf Aliyu, speaking at a mining site in Niger State after the deaths of 37 miners in the state. Atiku, in a statement posted on his X handle, said he was prepared to support the boy’s education, describing him as a child whose intelligence and confidence should be nurtured in a classroom rather than by working at a mining site. “I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

 ALGON Decries Suspension of Edo LGA Chairmen, Calls It a Setback to Democracy


The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has strongly condemned the suspension of 18 local government chairmen and councillors in Edo State by the State House of Assembly, labeling it a setback for democracy.


In a statement issued by ALGON’s National Publicity Secretary, Hamisu M. Anani, the organization’s National Executive Council and Board of Trustees expressed disapproval of the action taken after Governor Monday Okpebholo accused the chairmen of defying his orders by failing to submit their financial records to the state government.


ALGON argued that the suspension is an abuse of power, particularly since the chairmen were not allowed an opportunity to defend themselves. The association further contended that the decision is invalid, as it contradicts the Supreme Court's ruling granting local governments autonomy.


The move has sparked widespread criticism across the country, with many deeming it unconstitutional, null, and void. ALGON has called on the Governor and State Assembly to reverse the suspension and uphold the rule of law to strengthen democratic governance.


The association also urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene and prevent further abuse of power, stressing the importance of respecting the constitutional autonomy of local governments.
