 ‘I’ll turn off the mic’ — Remi Tinubu reins in Adeleke’s singing at Ooni’s anniversary First Lady Oluremi Tinubu cautioned Ademola Adeleke, the Osun state governor, for prolonged singing during his remarks at the 10th coronation anniversary celebration of Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife. The moment, captured in a now-viral video, occurred as the governor mounted the podium on Sunday to pay tribute to the monarch and to congratulate the Remi on her newly bestowed chieftaincy title, Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua.

Ahmad expressed concerns that prolonged school closures would result in lost time and negatively impact students' education.


The Federal Ministry of Education has initiated engagement with the four state governments to reconsider their decision, although Ahmad acknowledged that the Federal Government lacks direct control over state-owned schools.

CAN also warned that the closure would exacerbate the existing educational crisis in the region, which already struggles with high levels of poverty and illiteracy.


According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Nigeria had approximately 18.3 million out-of-school children as of 2024. This latest development threatens to further increase that number, highlighting the need for a swift resolution to ensure minimal disruption to the education of Nigerian students.
