Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen step out in coordinated black looks for New York stroll Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare joint appearance in New York City, stepping out together for a relaxed afternoon in matching, understated fashion. The 39-year-old twins were seen walking through Midtown Manhattan on April 30, dressed in coordinated black trench coats paired with wide-leg denim. They completed the look with sunglasses, scarves, and structured alligator handbags from their luxury label, The Row, before stopping for lunch during their outing. Long before becoming fashion insiders, the sisters built global recognition as child actors through projects like Full House, It Takes Two, and New York Minute. Over time, they stepped away from Hollywood and fully transitioned into fashion, officially launching The Row in 2005. Mary-Kate now serves as creative director of the brand, while Ashley oversees it as CEO. In earlier interviews, Ashley has described the label’s beginnings as a small ex...

 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.
