 Brazil’s former president Bolsonaro hospitalized in intensive care with pneumonia, officials say   Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro is being treated in an intensive care unit in Brasilia after developing pneumonia, hospital officials said Friday. Doctors described the 70-year-old’s condition as serious, warning that pneumonia in older patients can progress to septicemia if bacteria enter the bloodstream. Bolsonaro was transferred from prison after experiencing high fever, chills, vomiting, and low oxygen levels, his eldest son, Flávio Bolsonaro, said on X. The hospital confirmed bronchopneumonia, likely caused by aspiration, and said he is receiving intravenous antibiotics and non-invasive support. Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence for attempting a coup following his 2022 election defeat, and hospital staff noted it is unlikely he will return to prison in the coming days due to the need for ongoing IV treatment.

 ABU Zaria Loses 2,000 Staff To Better Opportunities Locally And Abroad – VC


As Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, marks its 63rd anniversary, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adamu Ahmed, has revealed that the institution has continued to lose skilled staff to more attractive opportunities both within and outside Nigeria.


Speaking at a press conference to commemorate the university’s anniversary, Prof. Ahmed expressed concern over the situation, attributing it to aging infrastructure and poor remuneration, which he said had dampened staff morale.


“It is disheartening to state that the university has lost nearly 2,000 staff members in the last five years,” he lamented.


According to him, ABU is now in urgent need of replacements and additional staff to sustain and enhance its research and academic standards.


He noted that one of the university’s programmes currently has about 95 per cent of its staff as professors — a situation that could threaten future accreditation and succession within the department.


The Vice-Chancellor also highlighted funding challenges as a major setback, limiting the university’s ability to renovate infrastructure, expand libraries, and support research.


Despite these challenges, Prof. Ahmed said ABU is taking steps to modernize its teaching methods through technology integration and innovative pedagogies.


“We plan to strengthen the Distance Learning Centre (DLC), the largest in Nigeria, to expand access to education and ensure that no family is left behind,” he stated.


He added that the initiative would help the institution contribute meaningfully to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting inclusive education and reducing inequality.


Prof. Ahmed also called on ABU alumni to give back to their alma mater through endowments, annual donations, and other forms of support to secure the university’s future.


The Vice-Chancellor commended the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu for its ongoing reforms in the education sector and the wider economy.
