Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty. Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said.

 Kaduna Ranks Second Nationwide In 2026 JAMB Registration


Kaduna State has recorded the second-highest number of candidates registered for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), with a total of 302,963 applicants.


The figure places Kaduna behind Lagos State, which recorded the highest number of registrations nationwide, highlighting Kaduna’s strong participation in the national entrance examination into tertiary institutions.


Education stakeholders say the large number of candidates reflects the growing interest in higher education among young people in the state, as well as the support of individuals and organizations committed to expanding educational opportunities.


Among those who contributed to the registration drive is Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar Mairago, Board Chairman of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), who sponsored the JAMB registration for hundreds of candidates across the state.


The initiative was carried out through the Mairago Vanguard for Tinubu and Uba Sani 2027, a group that mobilized support to assist students who might otherwise have been unable to afford the registration fees.


Observers note that such interventions by community leaders and philanthropists help reduce financial barriers to education, particularly for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.


The high number of candidates from Kaduna State in the 2026 UTME is seen as a reflection of the increasing awareness of the importance of education and the impact of collective efforts aimed at supporting students to pursue higher education.
