 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas. First introduced as a pilot scheme in 2025, the policy targets applicants seeking B1 and B2 visas, which are designated for business and tourism.

 Peter Obi Sounds Alarm on Nigeria’s Education Crisis, Urges Urgent Investment in Schools


Former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate Peter Obi has described Nigeria’s education sector as facing a crisis of “immense magnitude,” calling for immediate national action to address the issue. Speaking on Thursday, Obi emphasized the urgent need for functional classrooms over neglected or low-priority infrastructure projects.


Reacting to a recent Universal Basic Education Commission report, Obi highlighted that over 20 million Nigerian children are out of school, with many enrolled students unable to read or write. He also cited the latest West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, which he described as reflecting “the worst academic performance in five years,” with only 38 percent of students passing.


Obi criticized the misallocation of national resources, lamenting that “trillions” are spent on infrastructure projects with minimal developmental impact while education remains underfunded. “Our children deserve classrooms, not abandoned projects,” he stated, questioning the value of ongoing renovation initiatives.


Urging a shift in priorities, Obi called on all levels of government to redirect resources toward building functional schools and improving access to quality education. “Education is the most powerful investment we can make in the future of this nation,” he said, warning that neglecting young people jeopardizes Nigeria’s future. “When we fail them, we have failed our nation,” he concluded.
