 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. A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty. “I cannot look at him and see an ‘illegal miner.’ I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him.

 EFCC Not Only Fights Fraudsters,   It Also Commends  Upright Nigerians-  Olukoyede


The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC,  Mr Ola Olukoyede has disclosed that the Commission places a premium on commending upright Nigerians for upholding anti-corruption values as well as holding fraudulent ones accountable for their criminal engagements.


 He made this disclosure in Abuja on Wednesday,  April 29, 2026 while making a speech at the Business Grant Award Ceremony convened by the Jerry Eze Foundation.  The EFCC boss narrated how the Commission investigated Pastor Jerry Eze , Founder of Streams of Joy International for money laundering for six months and found out that he was not involved in any form of financial crime.  “ I want to let Nigerians know that EFCC is not just about investigating and prosecuting fraudsters,  it is also appreciating and commending Nigerians who are not involved in any form of economic and financial crimes.  I commended Pastor Jerry Eze when our investigations showed that he was not involved in money laundering”, he said. 


  He warned religious leaders against corrupt practices, stressing that integrity should be the watchword of adherents of every religion. 


   On the 240 small-scale business owners that the Jerry Eze Foundation supported with a grant of $3000 each,  the anti graft leader pointed out that such a gesture was a good way of making statement about impact and nation building, stressing that Nigerians should always strive to make such a statement by impacting lives around them. 


  He commended President Bola Tinubu for allowing the EFCC to release N100billion from its Recovery Account to the Nigerian Education Loan Fund and Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation as seed capital for their take-off.  “Now, we are working on a Cyber Crime Research Centre to empower our youth in the area of information technologies for the optimization of their talents.  We believe that our youths can deploy their talents to socially-beneficial purpose”,  he said.
