 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.

SIKKIM, A SMALL HIMALAYAN STATE IN NORTHEAST INDIA, HAS MADE HISTORY AS THE WORLD’S FIRST FULLY ORGANIC STATE. (PHOTO).


 Sikkim, a small Himalayan state in Northeast India, has made history as the world’s first fully organic state. 

Surrounded by Bhutan, Tibet, and Nepal, the state is known for its stunning landscapes and now for its sustainable lifestyle. Since 2016, every farm and field in Sikkim has been free from chemical fertilisers and pesticides, making it a role model for clean and green living.


The journey towards becoming fully organic began in 2003, when the government slowly phased out chemical farming and trained thousands of farmers in eco-friendly practices. By 2015, over 75,000 hectares of farmland had been converted to organic methods. This effort was recognised globally when Sikkim won the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation’s Future Policy Gold Award in 2018 for leading the way in sustainable farming.


For visitors, Sikkim offers a unique travel experience built around nature and community. From eco-homestays and organic farm visits in Yuksom to fresh produce markets in Ravangla, travellers can enjoy authentic local food and culture. Places like Dzongu, home to the Lepcha community, show how traditional life and environmental respect go hand in hand. The state has also introduced bamboo water bottles for tourists in Lachen to reduce plastic waste.


Sikkim’s organic success has not only improved the lives of its people but also attracted global attention as a model for the future of tourism and farming. With growing concerns about climate change and food safety, the state stands out as a destination that combines natural beauty with sustainable living. For travellers looking for clean food, fresh air, and meaningful experiences, Sikkim truly offers something special.
