 Atiku Apologizes to Nigerian Teachers, Citing 'Failed Leadership' Amid Economic Hardship Abuja, Nigeria - Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has issued a heartfelt apology to Nigerian teachers, attributing their current economic plight to what he described as the 'failed leadership' of the nation. In a statement released on Monday by his spokesperson, Abubakar expressed deep concern over the escalating cost of living, which he stated is severely hindering teachers' ability to provide for their families and effectively carry out their crucial educational duties. Abubakar, a staunch advocate for education, took a moment to laud the immense sacrifices made by Nigerian educators. Reflecting on his own formative years, he shared a personal connection to the teaching profession. "Of course, I appreciate Nigerian teachers. I am a product of their work and the education I received in their classrooms,...

ESWATINI SET TO RECEIVE ANOTHER BATCH OF US DEPORTEES. (PHOTO).


 Eswatini set to receive another batch of US deportees


Eswatini will receive 11 more third-country nationals deported from the United States this month, the southern African country said, after accepting a first group of five deportees in July.


"The individuals will be kept in a secured area separate from the public while arrangements are made for their return to their countries of origin," said a statement from Eswatini's government released on Sunday evening, Reuters reported.


It did not specify the exact date of their arrival.


President Donald Trump aims to deport millions of immigrants living in the US ‘‘illegally’’ and his administration has sought to ramp up removals to third countries as part of that crackdown.


Wave of deportations


The first five immigrants deported to Eswatini in July were from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen.


US Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said at the time that deportees taken to Eswatini were “so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back."


Two others are expected to be repatriated soon, the statement from Eswatini said. Eswatini, a kingdom bordering South Africa, has not disclosed the terms of its deal with the Trump administration and is facing a lawsuit from local activists who claim it was illegal to accept the third-country deportees.


In late June, the US Supreme Court cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own without offering them a chance to show the harms they could face. The decision handed the government a win in its aggressive pursuit of mass deportations.


The west African nation of Ghana, in September, also accepted African nationals deported from the United States.
