The 2026 International Day of Education highlights a powerful truth: young people are no longer just recipients of education, they are active partners in shaping it. With youth making up more than half of the world’s population, their ideas, creativity, and lived experiences are essential to building inclusive, relevant, and future-ready learning systems.
The theme calls for meaningful youth participation in educational policies, curricula, and innovation, especially at a time when technology and global change are transforming how we learn. By involving young people in designing education systems, societies can create learning environments that truly reflect their aspirations and prepare them for sustainable development and social transformation.
Ultimately, the message is clear: when youth co-create education, they don’t just shape classrooms, they shape the future.
China has executed 11 members of the Ming family, a powerful mafia clan accused of running large-scale online scam operations from neighbouring Myanmar, according to state media.
The executions followed sentences handed down in September by a court in China’s Zhejiang province, where the family members were convicted of crimes including homicide, illegal detention, fraud and operating illegal gambling operations.
The Ming family was one of several influential clans that once dominated Laukkaing, a border town in Myanmar’s Shan State, transforming it from a poor settlement into a centre for casinos, red-light districts and extensive online fraud schemes.
Their criminal network collapsed in 2023 after ethnic militias seized Laukkaing during intensified clashes with Myanmar’s military. Members of the Ming family were later detained by the militias and handed over to Chinese authorities.
By carrying out the executions, Beijing appears to be sending a strong warning to organised scam networks that have targeted Chinese citizens for years. Analysts, however, note that such operations have since relocated to other parts of Southeast Asia, including areas along Myanmar’s border with Thailand, as well as Cambodia and Laos, where China’s influence is weaker.
The United Nations estimates that hundreds of thousands of people have been trafficked across the region and forced to work in online scam centres. Thousands of Chinese nationals are believed to have been among those coerced into running fraud schemes that have cost Chinese victims billions of dollars.
China’s frustration with Myanmar’s military often accused of tolerating or profiting from the scam industry has intensified in recent years. In late 2023, Beijing quietly backed an offensive by an ethnic insurgent alliance in Shan State, which seized large areas from the military and overran Laukkaing, a major base for scam operations.
The executed Ming family members are believed to be the first Myanmar-based scam leaders to receive the death penalty in China. Authorities have indicated more cases are forthcoming. In November, five members of the Bai family were also sentenced to death, while trials involving members of the Wei and Liu families are still underway.
The Ming family’s trial was held behind closed doors, though more than 160 people, including relatives of victims, attended the sentencing hearing last year. China’s top court said the family’s scam and gambling activities generated more than 10 billion yuan (£1 billion) between 2015 and 2023 and were linked to the deaths of 14 Chinese citizens, with many others injured.
More than 20 additional members of the Ming family received prison terms ranging from five years to life. The clan’s patriarch, Ming Xuechang, reportedly died by suicide in 2023 while trying to evade capture, according to Myanmar’s military.
Chinese state media have aired televised confessions from suspects in documentaries, highlighting the government’s determination to dismantle cross-border scam networks.
The Ming family rose to prominence in the early 2000s after Laukkaing’s former warlord was ousted in a military operation led by Min Aung Hlaing, who later became Myanmar’s military ruler following the 2021 coup.
Initially focused on gambling and prostitution, the family later expanded into online fraud, operating heavily guarded compounds where trafficked workers were forced to carry out scams under brutal conditions.
China’s actions underscore its growing resolve to confront the regional scam industry, even as these criminal networks continue to adapt and relocate beyond its immediate reach.
On a night where Europe held its breath, Benfica delivered one of the most astonishing results of the UEFA Champions League season, defeating Real Madrid 4–2 in a pulsating clash at the Estádio da Luz.
The match had everything: star power, controversy, red cards, late drama — and an unforgettable moment when Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin scored a stoppage-time header to seal victory.
Kylian Mbappé struck first for Madrid in the 30th minute, continuing his blistering form and briefly silencing the Lisbon crowd. But Benfica responded with fearless intensity as Andreas Schjelderup equalised in the 36th minute, igniting belief among the home fans.
Just before halftime, Vangelis Pavlidis converted a penalty to put Benfica ahead, shifting the momentum firmly in the Portuguese side’s favour.
Second-Half Momentum: Benfica Refuse to Back Down
The second half opened with Benfica in full control. Schjelderup struck again in the 54th minute, completing his brace and pushing Benfica into a commanding lead.
Madrid, however, refused to collapse.
Mbappé struck again in the 58th minute, dragging the Spanish giants back into the contest and setting up a frantic finale.
What followed was chaos.
Real Madrid pushed forward relentlessly but struggled to break down Benfica’s compact defence, while tensions boiled over in stoppage time.
Chaos at the End: Red Cards and a Goalkeeper’s Glory
As Madrid chased an equaliser, the game spiralled into drama.
Raúl Asencio and Rodrygo were both sent off in stoppage time, leaving Madrid with nine men and exposing their desperation.
Then came the moment that defined the night.
In the 98th minute, Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin rose above everyone to head home a sensational fourth goal — a rare and historic moment that sealed a famous victory.
The final whistle confirmed Benfica’s 4–2 triumph — a result that reshaped the Champions League standings and sent shockwaves across Europe.
Tactical Storyline: Mourinho vs Madrid — A Familiar Script
Beyond the goals, the match carried a deeper narrative.
Benfica, led by José Mourinho, executed a disciplined tactical plan — absorbing pressure, striking on transitions, and exploiting Madrid’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Madrid dominated possession but lacked defensive stability, while Benfica showed ruthless efficiency in key moments.
The victory pushed Benfica into the playoff places, while Madrid dropped out of the top eight and into the knockout playoff round — a major setback for the 14-time European champions.
Other Champions League Highlights: Europe’s Night of Drama
While Lisbon hosted the headline shock, other matches across Europe delivered their own storylines:
Barcelona cruised to a convincing victory, reinforcing their status as title contenders.
Arsenal edged a thrilling contest with late drama.
Atlético Madrid suffered a surprise defeat, denting their momentum.
Sporting and Olympiacos claimed dramatic away wins, keeping their European dreams alive.
Together, the results underlined the unpredictability of the Champions League — where giants fall and underdogs rise.
Big Picture: What the Night Means for the Champions League
The events of January 28, 2026, will be remembered as a turning point in the season.
For Benfica, it was a statement of intent — proof that they belong among Europe’s elite.
For Real Madrid, it was a warning — brilliance in attack cannot always mask fragility in defence.
And for the Champions League, it was another reminder of why it remains football’s most dramatic stage.
The bribery trial of Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, is underway at Southwark Crown Court in London, placing renewed international focus on long-running corruption allegations tied to Nigeria’s oil sector.
Alison-Madueke, 65, has pleaded not guilty to six charges related to bribery and conspiracy. The trial, which began on January 27, is expected to last up to three months.
Events Leading To The Charges
Diezani Alison-Madueke rose through Nigeria’s oil industry after joining Shell Petroleum Development Company in 1992, later becoming the firm’s first female executive director.
Her political career gathered momentum with ministerial appointments in Transportation and Mines and Steel Development, before she was named Minister of Petroleum Resources in 2010 under President Goodluck Jonathan.
In that role, she oversaw the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and later became the first woman to serve as President of OPEC between 2014 and 2015.
Her tenure was shadowed by persistent allegations of corruption, favoritism and opaque oil deals involving billions of dollars.
Matters escalated after the 2015 election of President Muhammadu Buhari, whose administration prioritized anti corruption reforms. Alison-Madueke left Nigeria for the United Kingdom shortly before the transition.
In October 2015, she was arrested in London by the UK National Crime Agency as part of a joint investigation with Nigerian authorities. Over the years, multiple probes followed across jurisdictions.
In the UK, courts ordered the forfeiture of millions of pounds in assets deemed proceeds of crime. In Nigeria, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission filed several charges accusing her of diverting large sums from NNPC funds and laundering money through shell companies.
The United States also pursued civil forfeiture actions linked to properties, cash and luxury assets allegedly bought with stolen oil revenues.
Despite these developments, Alison-Madueke consistently denied wrongdoing, describing the accusations as politically motivated. Health challenges, including cancer treatment, contributed to delays in formal prosecution. UK authorities eventually filed criminal charges in August 2023 after extended investigations.
Proceedings And Developments In The UK Trial
The London trial focuses on allegations that between 2011 and 2015, Alison-Madueke accepted bribes from oil industry figures in exchange for influencing oil contracts and strategic decisions involving state entities.
Prosecutors allege she enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle funded by businessmen who benefited from lucrative oil deals.
Evidence presented so far includes claims of millions of pounds spent on luxury shopping at Harrods and other high end stores, exclusive use of multimillion pound properties in London and the countryside, cash payments, private jet travel, chauffeur services and school fees for her son.
Prosecutors say these benefits were provided by oil executives whose companies secured or retained valuable contracts.
The court has also heard about alleged payments routed through associates and family members, including claims involving her brother, Doye Agama. Recorded phone calls and text messages from seized devices have been played to the jury, with prosecutors arguing they show awareness of the sensitive nature of the benefits she received.
Alison-Madueke and her co defendants have all pleaded not guilty. Her legal team is expected to argue that the items and services cited were lawful gifts or personal arrangements unrelated to official decisions, and that no improper influence was exercised.
As proceedings continue into their third day, the case has attracted wide attention in Nigeria and beyond, seen as a major test of international cooperation against corruption.
The outcome could have significant implications for ongoing asset recovery efforts and future extradition requests, while the trial itself continues to unravel years of alleged dealings at the heart of Nigeria’s oil wealth.
Kwara State has secured at least two foreign direct investments valued at $35m, reflecting Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s commitment to driving industrialization and economic expansion in the state.
Sun Qing Rong, team lead of ER-KANG Company Limited, disclosed that the company has completed and officially launched its $20m lithium processing factory, in line with the state government’s policy of promoting value addition and strengthening local manufacturing capacity.
He explained that the company currently employs more than 300 workers, most of whom are indigenes of Kwara State, and noted that the facility processes lithium into finished materials rather than exporting the mineral in its raw form without added value.
Rong also revealed that the firm is establishing a pharmaceutical manufacturing company in Kwara State with an investment exceeding $15m. He added that ER-KANG will partner with the state government in the development of the industrial park.
“This is one of the fruits of the meeting that we held with Your Excellency in Beijing about two years ago. Today, we have completed the lithium plant and it is up and running. And this year, we are starting the pharmaceutical company with the help of Your Excellency,” he said.
“The factory will include two phases of construction for large infusion and small volume injection workshops, which will make up for the shortage of such products in the Nigerian market. At present, the relevant preparatory work is basically completed,” he said.
He praised Governor AbdulRazaq for creating an “outstanding investment environment for foreign investors like us,” adding that the company upholds a strong sense of social responsibility within its host communities.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq expressed delight over the investments, stating that they would generate employment opportunities, facilitate technology transfer, and stimulate the state’s local economy.
“We are willing to support you and others to invest more in our state,” he said.
Members of Rong’s delegation at the meeting included the company’s legal adviser, Barrister Ibrahim Atanda; Project Architect, Arch. Sayi Yekeen; Quality Control Supervisor, Shuai Hai Tao; Factory Manager, Cao Zheng Hai; Pharmaceutical Manager, Xie Chuan Li; and Administrative Manager, Mi Guang Hua.
The Governor was accompanied at the meeting by the Special Adviser on Special Duties, Alhaji AbdulRazaq Jiddah.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned a Russian drone strike on a packed passenger train in north-eastern Ukraine, describing the attack as “terrorism.” Local officials say the incident killed at least five people and left several others injured.
According to authorities, more than 200 passengers were on board when a drone hit one of the carriages in the Kharkiv region on Tuesday, while two additional drones exploded nearby. Zelensky said 18 people were inside the affected carriage at the time and stressed that there was no “military justification” for targeting civilians.
Russia has not commented on the incident, though it has stepped up drone and missile attacks on Ukraine’s energy and transport infrastructure during what has been described as the harshest winter in years.
Elsewhere, Ukraine’s southern port city of Odesa was struck by dozens of drones, killing three people and injuring many others. Energy officials reported that a local facility sustained “enormous damage” overnight into Tuesday, while Odesa regional chief Serhii Lysak said attacks continued into Wednesday for a second consecutive night.
In the Kyiv region, police said a residential apartment block was hit, killing a couple and injuring their four-year-old child in a district near the capital.
The continued strikes have left millions of Ukrainians without heating, electricity and water. Since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022, Moscow has seized control of about 20% of Ukrainian territory.
In a late-night social media post on Tuesday, Zelensky wrote: “In any country, a drone strike on a civilian train would be considered in exactly the same way – purely as terrorism.”
Images released by Ukraine’s emergency services showed at least one train carriage badly damaged and still burning following the attack. Kharkiv’s regional prosecutor’s office said the strike occurred near the village of Yazykove.
Officials said the train was travelling from the western border town of Chop to Barvinkove in the Kharkiv region, passing through the regional capital, Kharkiv. The route extends further east into the Donetsk region and is commonly used by civilians as well as Ukrainian soldiers travelling to and from leave, along with family members visiting them.
In Odesa, officials said Russia launched more than 50 drones overnight into Tuesday. Rescue teams later recovered three bodies from the rubble after several floors of a residential building collapsed, while multiple nearby buildings sustained damage.
The latest attacks come despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the war. Ukraine and Russia held talks last week in the United Arab Emirates, with US negotiators also involved. All sides described the discussions as constructive, although major territorial disputes remain unresolved, and further negotiations are expected this weekend.
In a significant development for Nigeria’s digital economy, global payments giant PayPal has officially relaunched its services in the country through a strategic partnership with local fintech leader Paga.
Announced in late 2025 and going live in early 2026, this collaboration allows Nigerian users to receive international payments directly into their Paga wallets, marking the end of over two decades of restrictions that limited PayPal’s functionality in Africa’s most populous nation.
This move comes amid PayPal’s broader push into emerging markets, backed by a $100 million fund for African fintech acquisitions and partnerships, as the company seeks to reverse a 75.6% decline in its share price over the past five years.
The partnership enables seamless integration between PayPal accounts and Paga digital wallets, facilitating cross-border receipts from over 200 countries, instant withdrawals in Naira, and access to PayPal’s network of more than 430 million global users.
Users can now shop internationally, pay bills, transfer funds to banks, or spend via Paga’s Visa card, bridging global earnings with local needs. For merchants, it opens doors to accept payments in up to 25 currencies, potentially boosting exports and small business growth.
History of PayPal in Nigeria
PayPal’s relationship with Nigeria has been fraught with challenges since its initial entry into the market. The company first allowed Nigerian users to sign up in 2004 but quickly imposed strict limitations, restricting accounts to outbound payments only, no inbound receipts or local withdrawals were permitted.
PayPal cited high fraud risks, including the use of stolen credit cards via Nigerian IP addresses and deficiencies in the country’s identification infrastructure, as reasons for these measures.
These restrictions, initially described as temporary, persisted for nearly two decades, effectively excluding Nigerian freelancers, online entrepreneurs, and small businesses from one of the world’s largest payment platforms.
Many users resorted to workarounds, such as using VPNs or intermediaries in other countries, but these were often unreliable and costly. Accounts were frequently frozen without clear explanations, leading to lost funds and widespread frustration.
In the absence of full PayPal access, Nigeria’s fintech sector flourished independently.
Companies like Paystack, Flutterwave, Monnify, Kora, Grey, and Cleva emerged to fill the gap, providing cross-border payment solutions and processing billions in transactions annually.
Paga itself, founded in 2009 by Tayo Oviosu, was inspired by PayPal’s model, aiming to create a “PayPal for Africa.” Early attempts at collaboration, including Oviosu’s 2013 email to PayPal outlining potential partnerships, went unrealized until now.
Previous partnerships, such as a 2014 tie-up with First Bank for outbound payments and a 2021 collaboration with Flutterwave focused on businesses, failed to enable full inbound access for individuals.
PayPal’s absence reinforced negative stereotypes and hindered Nigeria’s integration into the global digital economy, but it also spurred local innovation, with digital payments soaring to ₦1.07 quadrillion ($754 billion) in 2024.
What the Paga and PayPal Partnership Means
This partnership represents a pivotal shift, potentially injecting much-needed foreign currency into Nigeria’s economy and enhancing financial inclusion in one of Africa’s fastest-growing digital markets.
With Nigeria being Africa’s largest remittance recipient, the integration could streamline inflows for gig workers, families, and businesses, reducing reliance on informal channels or cryptocurrencies. Currency conversions will occur at market rates, making it competitive with alternatives.
For users, getting started is straightforward: log into the Paga app or website, link a PayPal account (only Nigeria-registered ones qualify for receipts), and begin transacting.
Funds can remain in dollars or be converted to Naira for local use, and the setup even allows receipts from Venmo users in the U.S. However, some requirements, like providing a Bank Verification Number (BVN), have raised privacy concerns, as they differ from processes in other countries.
The implications extend to competition and market dynamics. PayPal’s entry could challenge established local fintechs, many of which have achieved unicorn status and process over $100 billion annually.
Skeptics warn of potential market consolidation, where PayPal might leverage local insights before sidelining partners, or continue with biased risk models that lead to account freezes.
With mixed reactions on social media, while some celebrate the milestone as a win for global access, others highlight alternatives like Cleva or Grey, questioning if PayPal’s return is too late or insincere.
Tayo Oviosu, Paga’s founder, emphasized the long-term vision, “This is about making global funds accessible locally in a simple, secure way.”
Otto Williams, PayPal’s regional head, added that the focus is on supporting local innovation and expanding inclusion. Paga, with its 21 million users and ₦17 trillion ($12 billion) processed in 2025, anticipates volume growth from international inflows.
Overall, the partnership signals Nigeria’s maturing digital infrastructure and PayPal’s strategic pivot to Africa, but its success will depend on building trust, addressing past grievances, and delivering reliable service amid stiff local competition.
The Police Service Commission has approved a two week extension of the ongoing recruitment exercise for 50,000 constables into the Nigeria Police Force following uneven participation across states.
In a statement issued on Monday and signed by Torty Njoku Kalu, Head of Protocol and Public Affairs of the Commission, the PSC said the application portal, which opened on December 15, 2025, will now close on February 8, 2026.
The Commission explained that while states such as Adamawa, Benue and Kaduna recorded high numbers of applicants, others including Lagos, Ogun, Bayelsa, Ebonyi and Anambra showed significantly lower levels of participation.
The statement said, “This decision follows the receipt of over 400,000 applications and a review showing significant disparities in state participation. While some states like Adamawa, Benue, and Kaduna have high application numbers, states such as Lagos, Ogun, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, and Anambra have notably lower submissions.
“The extension aims to ensure equitable representation nationwide. All eligible Nigerians, particularly from above-mentioned states with fewer applications, are strongly encouraged to apply via the official portal: npfapplication.psc.gov.ng.”
It further stated, “State Governments, Local Government Councils, sociocultural organizations, religious bodies, community leaders, and other stakeholders are strongly encouraged to mobilize and sensitize eligible citizens within their jurisdictions to apply before the new deadline.
“The PSC and NPF reaffirm their commitment to a fair and transparent recruitment process.”
The extension comes amid ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to address rising security challenges across the country.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had earlier declared a nationwide security emergency and directed immediate large scale recruitment into the Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Police Force.
In a statement released from the State House, the President ordered the recruitment of 20,000 additional police officers, bringing the total planned intake to 50,000.
He also approved the use of National Youth Service Corps camps as temporary training centres for the new recruits.
The All Progressives Congress has dismissed reports suggesting that Vice President Kashim Shettima could be dropped as President Bola Tinubu’s running mate ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the claims as speculative, false and without any factual basis.
The party’s response followed growing speculation that it might reconsider the Muslim Muslim ticket that delivered victory in the 2023 presidential election.
Speaking over the weekend, the Minister of Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, cautioned the ruling party against abandoning the Muslim Muslim ticket or removing Vice President Shettima.
“If there is no Hausa, Fulani or Kanuri Muslim on that ticket, it creates a hurdle. That is the reality of the way people think,” Musawa said.
She explained that politics in northern Nigeria is strongly influenced by identity, history and voter mobilisation, making the region particularly sensitive to changes in political representation.
“The core north states, like Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, Jigawa, Zamfara and Sokoto, understand politics at a very deep level. Politics is a way of life. People wait every four years to line up and vote because that is where they feel they have influence,” she stated.
Musawa dismissed suggestions that the APC could alter its presidential ticket without repercussions, warning that such views reflected a poor understanding of political realities in the North.
“I think if we toy with changing the construct of what we have now, it is a problem. People who suggest otherwise may not fully understand how politics works in the north,” she said.
However, in a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC said it had taken note of what it described as a “growing media frenzy” over an alleged plan to replace the Vice President.
“While these stories have been mostly subtle, they recently assumed a new dimension when names of specific individuals were touted as possible replacements for Vice President Shettima,” the party said.
The APC cautioned media organisations against amplifying unverified reports and urged them to avoid spreading rumours capable of creating division.
“Our party states in categorical terms that the stories are purely speculative, untrue and utterly baseless.
“We urge media organisations to refrain from lending their platforms to rumour-peddlers and mischievous ‘news sources’ of questionable provenance whose only intention is to promote discord and confusion in the polity,” the statement said.
The party also stressed that political activities remain restricted under existing laws and electoral regulations, noting that it is not engaged in any succession discussions at this time.
“Under our laws and electoral regulations, the ban on political activities remains in force,” Morka said, adding that the party is presently focused on governance.
“At this time, our Party remains focused on supporting President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima in delivering the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and entrenching its bold reforms that are now steadily transforming the economy, building prosperity, and uplifting the living conditions of our people,” the APC said.
The party further warned its ministers, senior government officials and party leaders against making comments that could trigger unnecessary speculation.
“We call on our ministers, senior government and party officials to avoid, wittingly or unwittingly, stoking needless speculations, and to focus on their primary duty of diligent service to government and our party,” it added.
The APC urged its officials to concentrate on promoting “the success and achievements of President Tinubu, our inimitable and visionary leader.”
Tension is growing in Abuja as workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration continue to demand the removal of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. Supported by the Nigeria Labour Congress, the workers have staged protests at offices and court premises over unpaid salaries and poor welfare conditions.
How the Dispute Began
The problem started when FCTA workers began an indefinite strike on January 19, 2026. They said the government failed to meet important demands affecting their welfare.
These include five months of unpaid salaries, unpaid promotion arrears for 2023 and 2024, unpaid pension and National Housing Fund contributions, poor working conditions, and lack of basic tools needed for their jobs.
The strike was organised by the Joint Unions Action Committee and led to the closure of many government offices in Abuja. This disrupted public services and drew attention across the country.
The Nigeria Labour Congress supported the workers and described the strike as justified. During protests, workers carried placards with messages such as “Wike must go,” “Enough is enough,” and “Pay promotion arrears.” Some protesters accused Wike of ruling Abuja the same way he ruled Rivers State when he was governor.
In response, Wike and the FCTA went to court, asking that the strike be stopped. A case was filed against union leaders at the National Industrial Court.
The FCTA also claimed that most of the workers’ demands had already been met and that the remaining ones were being handled.
Tension increased on January 26 when workers protested at the National Industrial Court and later at the FCTA Secretariat. Videos online showed protesters chasing what looked like Wike’s convoy while shouting insults.
Wike’s aide later explained that the minister only used another exit to avoid trouble and was heading to the airport at the time.
Current Situation
On January 27, 2026, the National Industrial Court ordered FCTA workers to stop the strike and return to work immediately. The judge said it was wrong to continue the strike while the case is still before the court. The matter was postponed until March 23, 2026, for further hearing.
After the court order, Wike warned workers to obey the ruling or face punishment. He said the government is open to talks but will not allow actions that disrupt activities in Abuja.
Union leaders, however, insist that their major demands must be fully resolved, even though the court order now limits their options.
On the question of whether Wike will be removed from office, there is no sign of that happening soon. Only the president has the power to remove a minister, and President Bola Tinubu has not indicated any plan to do so. Despite calls for his removal, Wike is believed to enjoy strong political support.
Public opinion is divided. Some people praise Wike for development projects in the FCT, while others criticise his handling of workers’ issues. For now, his removal appears unlikely unless there is a major political change.
Attention is now on whether workers will obey the court order and how talks between both sides will progress.
