 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.

 5th ASWAN Forum, Egypt: Zulum Calls For Multiple Approach  In Tackling Crises In Sahel Region


Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum has called for a comprehensive and multifaceted strategy, hinged on broader regional cooperation to tackle the escalating security and humanitarian crisis in the Sahel region.

The Governor  stated while presenting a paper at the roundtable discussion of the 5th Aswan Forum for Sustainable Peace and Development held in Aswan, Egypt.


The governor whose state has been at the epicentre of Boko Haram insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin, argued that a purely military solution has proven insufficient, emphasising  that lasting peace can only be achieved by simultaneously addressing the root causes of the conflict.

He also called for broader cooperation among countries in the Sahel region and stressed that extremist groups and other criminal networks operate across borders with impunity and the response must be equally transnational.

Beyond security collaboration, the governor also called for improved development in the Sahel countries,  identifying  poverty, lack of education and climate change-induced scarcity as key drivers of recruitment for armed groups.
