 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.

 Fire Outbreak in Senate Wing of National Assembly Quickly Contained


A minor fire outbreak in the Senate wing of the National Assembly was swiftly contained on Wednesday, preventing what could have escalated into a more serious incident within the legislative complex.


The fire reportedly occurred in the kitchen compartment attached to Hearing Room 107 shortly after the Senate Committee on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) concluded the screening of Dr. Zainab Marwa for appointment as the North-East representative on the commission's governing board.


Witnesses said smoke suddenly began billowing from the affected area, causing a brief moment of panic among lawmakers, staff and visitors within the vicinity.


The Chairman of the Senate Committee on NDDC, Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong, alongside Senator Salihu Mustapha, reportedly led immediate efforts to contain the fire before it could spread to adjoining sections of the building.


Sources within the National Assembly said the blaze was traced to a microwave oven allegedly left switched on in the kitchen area.


Their prompt intervention, coupled with support from other officials, ensured that the fire was extinguished within a short period, limiting damage to the affected compartment.
