A 16-year-old gunman has shot two students dead and injured eight others at a Philippine high school, before reportedly killing himself.
The two deceased victims were 14-year-old pupils at a school in Banga in the southern province of Mindanao, the local mayor told the BBC.
Albert Palencia said four of the injured were in critical condition.
The education department said in a statement it was “deeply concerned” by the reported incident which took place on Friday afternoon at Banga National High School.
This is the third deadly school shooting in the Philippines since June this year.
“Our immediate priority is the safety and well-being of our learners, teachers and school personnel,” the education department said, adding it was coordinating with authorities to verify the incident and provide necessary support.
“We urge everyone to remain calm and refrain from sharing unverified information as authorities continue their investigation.”
Palencia told Reuters news agency that during a lunchtime conversation on Friday, the gunman had urged friends to go home “because after lunch, [he would] be executing [his] plan”.
“His friends laughed because the shooter was a known joker,” Palencia told the news agency.
“After lunch, he started shooting students. He hit 10 students before killing himself.”
Classes have been suspended “in all levels in the entire municipality of Banga” due to the shooting, disaster management authorities said in a statement.
The Philippines Red Cross said it was alerted to the incident at 14:00 local time (06:00 GMT) and had dispatched an ambulance with four paramedics to provide life-saving assistance.
Police are at the site investigating the shooting, local media reported.
Gun crime is not uncommon in the Philippines, which has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the region. Broadly speaking, school shootings are rare, but today’s incident marks the third deadly campus shooting in the last four months.
In June, three students were killed and more were injured after their peers opened fire at a high school in central Philippines. Investigators believed the deadly shooting had been motivated by a “grudge” over bullying.
In August, a student at a Catholic junior high school in the southern Philippines shot dead a fellow student and later took his own life. In this case, the suspect had fired at the teacher, but missed, then moved to another classroom and shot a student, who later died.
Following the shooting on Friday, Reynaldo Tamayo, the South Cotabato governor, urged adult gun owners to “be responsible in storing firearms” and ensuring that minors do not get access to them.
“We cannot expect a handful of security personnel to monitor thousands of students. We need to work together because otherwise this will be very difficult for us to address,” he told Reuters.
A 2014 financial document from the end of Peter Obi’s tenure as Anambra State governor has returned to public attention, reopening questions about what the former governor handed over to his successor, Willie Obiano.
The report was released publicly this week by Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, amid an ongoing dispute over loans, debts and other financial obligations attributed to previous administrations in Anambra State.
The document, dated March 17, 2014, summarised Anambra’s financial position as of the close of business on March 14 — the final working day of Obi’s administration.
According to the figures contained in the document, local investments were valued at ₦27 billion, while foreign-currency investments of US$156 million were put at ₦26.5 billion.
The report also listed ₦28.166 billion in certified state and MDAs balances and a ₦10 billion Federal Government-approved refund.
Together, those figures produced a reported gross balance of ₦91.666 billion.
The document then listed an estimated ₦5 billion in liabilities, including March salaries, pensions, gratuities and approved certificates for already executed projects.
After that deduction, the report recorded a net balance of ₦86.666 billion.
The incumbent state administration in a statement issued and signed by the Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Dr Law Mefor, titled “Gov Peter Obi and Record of Public Debt in Anambra: Facts Beyond Propaganda and Lies,” stated that Mr Peter Obi left behind debts, including domestic loans and unpaid pensions and gratuities, at the end of his tenure as governor.
The statement read:”Our attention has been drawn to a viral post by a former Governor of Anambra, HE Mr Peter Obi, CON, on what he described as ‘Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy’, which presumably was in response to some statements made on a podcast by the Anambra State Commissioner for Finance.
“We understand that this is a campaign season and candidates often go to the extremes in order to impress. If not that the said post was on his personal handle, we would not have believed that he could have made such wild and verifiably false claims.
“As a government, we are focused 100% on delivering the dividends of democracy to millions of Ndi Anambra. However, when a former governor of the state makes some outlandish claims about the state of public debt he left behind, especially when the present government has been spending billions of Naira servicing the same debt, a responsible government owes the public a response in the interest of transparency and accountability.
“We have no time to join issues. We will simply state the facts here for the records.
But the document does not end the argument.
The release comes against the background of a wider dispute over Anambra’s inherited debts and financial obligations.
The state government has maintained that it continues to service loans and other liabilities inherited from previous administrations.
Obi, however, has rejected claims that his administration left outstanding salaries, pensions, gratuities or liabilities relating to duly executed and certified projects.
There is also criticism of the interpretation of the handover figures. One recent analysis of the 2014 documents disputes aspects of the financial picture and argues that liabilities inherited by the succeeding administration were not fully reflected in the way the handover figures have subsequently been presented.
That makes the original document particularly important.
Rather than relying solely on political claims about what happened more than a decade ago, the central questions are:
What exactly did the 2014 handover report contain?
What liabilities did it identify?
What debts were subsequently incurred or inherited?
And perhaps most importantly:
Can the competing claims about Anambra’s finances be reconciled using audited records and official documents?
The resurfacing of the report has therefore shifted attention from political statements to the paper trail — and placed Peter Obi’s 2014 Anambra handover report back at the centre of the conversation.
The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Abia State, Dr Kelechi Anosike, has alleged that directors in the state’s civil service use tricycles, popularly known as Keke NAPEP, to get to work due to the poor welfare conditions for workers under Governor Alex Otti’s administration. And that has drawn attention once againg to the issue of the minimum wage.
Nigeria’s ₦70,000 minimum wage was supposed to give workers a stronger financial cushion. But two years after the new national minimum wage became law, another question is dominating the conversation:
What can ₦70,000 actually buy today?
The national minimum wage was signed into law in July 2024 after negotiations between the Federal Government and organised labour. The new law also shortened the wage review cycle from five years to three years.
Now, with workers facing rising costs for food, transport, housing and other essentials, organised labour is again calling attention to the purchasing power of the wage.
In August, labour leaders argued that the ₦70,000 benchmark no longer adequately reflects current economic realities, calling for renewed discussions on workers’ pay.
But there is another side to the minimum-wage story.
The ₦70,000 figure is a national benchmark — not necessarily what every state government currently pays.
A 2026 review by Nairametrics found significant differences among states. Imo, for example, had approved ₦104,000, while Lagos and Rivers were reported at ₦85,000. Oyo and several other states were at ₦80,000, while a number of states remained around the federal ₦70,000 benchmark.
That means the minimum-wage conversation is no longer simply about “₦70,000 versus a higher figure.”
It is also about purchasing power, differences between states, implementation and what workers actually have left after paying for basic needs.
And that is where the bigger question comes in:
Is the minimum wage keeping pace with the cost of living?
For workers, the answer depends not only on the number appearing on their payslip, but also on the prices of food, transportation, rent, electricity and other necessities.
With labour pushing for a fresh conversation around wages and the next statutory review cycle approaching, Nigeria’s minimum-wage debate is likely to remain closely tied to one issue:
How much does a Nigerian worker actually need to live on?
If you have checked your JAMB CAPS and seen “Admission in Progress,” don’t panic — and don’t celebrate just yet.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified what the status means as thousands of 2026 UTME candidates wait for admission offers.
According to JAMB, “Admission in Progress” means an institution may have proposed the candidate for admission, but the process has not yet been completed. In other words, your admission process is moving, but the offer is not yet final.
JAMB also explained the difference between “Not Admitted” and “Admitted.” A “Not Admitted” status means the candidate has not yet received an admission offer. It does not necessarily mean the candidate will not eventually be admitted, so candidates are advised to keep checking their CAPS.
So, what should candidates do?
The key is patience and regular monitoring.
Candidates should continue checking their JAMB CAPS for changes and pay attention to communications from their chosen institutions. If the status changes to “Admitted,” the candidate will then be able to proceed with the necessary admission acceptance processes.
JAMB’s clarification comes at a time when candidates are closely watching their admission status and sharing screenshots online, with some becoming worried when their status changes or remains pending.
For many candidates, therefore, “Admission in Progress” is not a rejection. It is a status showing that the admission process has not been completed.
A fuel tanker caught fire on Thursday at Feesu Junction along the Iwo–Ibadan Expressway in Iwo, Osun State, prompting panic among residents and motorists.
The incident reportedly occurred at about 10:25 a.m. opposite Lado Filling Station, an area surrounded by businesses, filling stations and residential buildings.
Eyewitnesses said the tanker caught fire shortly after discharging its contents at a nearby fuel station. The driver reportedly acted quickly by detaching the truck’s tractor head, helping to prevent the fire from spreading to the fuel station and surrounding properties.
Videos circulating online showed flames engulfing part of the vehicle as residents gathered near the scene. No death or injury was reported at the time of filing this report.
The driver’s actions have attracted widespread praise from residents and social-media users, who said his quick response prevented what could have become a major disaster.
According an eyewitness on X, via an handle @Iwoland hub, the driver braved the odds to prevent a disaster.
“DRIVER’S DARING ESCAPE IN IWO: He Drives Away as Tanker Explodes, Then Detaches Truck Head from Burning Tanker”
However, concerns have been raised over the number of bystanders who remained close to the burning tanker despite the risk of an explosion. The incident has renewed calls for improved public awareness, stricter fuel-handling procedures and a faster emergency response to tanker fires.
There were conflicting reports about whether the tanker was carrying petrol or diesel. The cause of the fire also remained unclear.
The Osun State Fire Service, Federal Road Safety Corps and state police command had not issued official statements on the incident at the time of publication.
BRICS is no longer the relatively small grouping of emerging economies it once was. With its expansion and growing network of member and partner countries, the bloc is becoming an increasingly important platform for trade, investment, diplomacy and cooperation among countries of the Global South.
For Africa, this changing global landscape presents both opportunities and questions.
As more African countries deepen their engagement with BRICS, the debate is shifting from whether the continent should participate to what Africa can actually gain from the relationship.
Can BRICS help African countries expand their economies, attract investment, gain access to new markets and strengthen their voice in global affairs? Or could the continent simply be exchanging one form of economic dependence for another?
These questions formed the focus of The Agenda on LN247, as experts examined BRICS’ growing relationship with Africa and what it could mean for the continent’s economic and geopolitical future.

BRICS AND AFRICA: WHAT IS THE REAL DEAL?
One of the central issues is what Africa can realistically gain from deeper engagement with BRICS.
For African economies, the relationship could provide opportunities to expand South-South cooperation, attract investment, access emerging markets and strengthen economic ties with major economies outside traditional Western markets.
But opportunities do not automatically translate into development.
African countries must consider what they bring to the partnership and, more importantly, how they can ensure that cooperation results in measurable economic benefits.
With South Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia among BRICS members, and countries including Nigeria and Uganda participating as partner countries, Africa has an expanding presence within the BRICS framework.
The question is whether this presence can translate into a stronger collective African voice in discussions about global trade, finance, development and international governance.
For Nigeria in particular, the conversation also centres on investment, industrialisation and local value addition. Attracting foreign capital is one thing; ensuring that such investment creates industries, jobs, skills and sustainable economic opportunities is another.
This raises an important issue: Can Africa use BRICS relationships to move beyond exporting raw materials and become a stronger participant in global production and value chains?
AFRICA BETWEEN BRICS AND THE WEST: A NEW BALANCE OF POWER?
BRICS’ expansion is also taking place against the backdrop of a changing global power structure.
African countries maintain significant economic, diplomatic and security relationships with the United States, European countries and other Western institutions, while simultaneously deepening relations with China, India, Russia, Brazil and other emerging powers.
This does not necessarily mean African countries have to choose one side over another.
Instead, the growing BRICS platform raises questions about whether African states can pursue a more diversified and strategic foreign-policy approach — working with different global powers according to their national interests.
Greater engagement with BRICS could potentially give African countries additional options when negotiating trade, infrastructure, energy, mining, technology and financing agreements.
However, diversification itself does not eliminate the risk of dependency.
If African economies become overly dependent on any particular group of countries, markets, commodities or sources of finance, the underlying structural challenges may remain.
The challenge, therefore, is not simply to replace one major economic partner with another, but to build stronger African economies capable of negotiating partnerships from a position of greater strength.
FROM SUMMIT TO STREET: CAN BRICS DELIVER FOR ORDINARY AFRICANS?
For many Africans, the ultimate measure of international partnerships is not the number of summits held or declarations signed, but what changes in everyday life.
Can international cooperation translate into jobs?
Can it support businesses and local industries?
Can it improve infrastructure and access to technology?
Can it provide financing that supports sustainable development?
And can it help African economies become more competitive globally?
These are the questions that will determine whether BRICS becomes more than a diplomatic platform for African countries.
Nigeria has also emphasised the importance of moving beyond dialogue and commitments towards implementation and measurable development outcomes.
For Africa, this means paying close attention to what happens after the summit tables — particularly in areas such as trade, investment, technology transfer, manufacturing, infrastructure and skills development.
Technology transfer and local manufacturing are especially important. Without stronger domestic productive capacity, increased trade can still leave African economies primarily exporting commodities while importing higher-value finished products.
A genuinely transformative partnership would therefore need to contribute to Africa’s ability to produce, process, innovate and compete.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?
The BRICS-Africa relationship is still evolving, and its long-term impact will depend largely on how individual African countries negotiate and implement their partnerships.
Success could be measured through concrete outcomes: increased investment in productive sectors, expanded market access for African businesses, technology transfer, industrial development, employment opportunities and stronger participation in global value chains.
It could also be measured by Africa’s ability to use relationships with multiple global powers without surrendering its policy independence or allowing new concentrations of economic dependence to emerge.
Ultimately, BRICS offers Africa another platform in an increasingly multipolar global economy. But the platform itself is not the outcome.
The bigger question is how African countries use it.
Can the continent turn expanding diplomatic relationships into stronger economies, better opportunities and greater control over its own resources and development priorities?
The future of BRICS may be about power. But for Africa, the real issue is what that power delivers.
Every September, the same conversation returns: Are Nigerian children going back to school? The answer is yes—but that is only part of the story.
Nigeria’s 2024/2025 Annual School Census recorded almost 39.9 million learners, showing the scale of the country’s education system. Yet millions of Nigerian children remain outside the formal education system. UNICEF estimates that about 10.5 million children aged 5–14 are not in school, despite primary education being officially free and compulsory.
So Nigeria faces a difficult contradiction: More children are entering school, but many families are struggling to afford the cost of keeping them there.
ACCESS IS NO LONGER JUST ABOUT GETTING INTO SCHOOL
Nigeria has made education a legal right, but legal access does not automatically translate into economic access because for many families, the cost of education goes far beyond school fees.
There are uniforms, books, transportation, examination costs, PTA-related expenses and other charges. When these costs are added to rising food, fuel and household expenses, the beginning of a new school term can become a major financial burden.
For poorer families, the consequences can be serious. Some parents borrow money. Others move their children to cheaper schools, delay payments or reduce spending on learning materials. Some eventually withdraw their children altogether.
ENROLMENT IS NOT THE SAME AS LEARNING
Another issue is the fact that Nigeria judges educational progress mainly by the number of children enrolled. This poses a problem because being in school does not necessarily mean a child is learning.
Nigeria continues to face major challenges in foundational literacy and numeracy and organisations such as UNICEF and UNESCO have repeatedly highlighted the gap between school attendance and actual learning outcomes. UNESCO notes that schooling does not automatically imply learning, while poor learning can itself increase the likelihood of dropping out.
This distinction matters because a child can sit in a classroom every day and still leave school without the basic skills needed to read, write, calculate or compete effectively in the economy.
So the measure of success cannot stop at how many children are enrolled but it must also ask how many children are actually learning and are able to complete their education.
THE RISING DIVIDE BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EDUCATION
Nigeria’s education system is also experiencing a growing divide between public and private schools.
Public schools remain essential, particularly for low-income families. But private schools have expanded significantly, especially in urban areas and many parents look for alternatives they believe will offer better learning environments.
Again the problem is affordability. How so? Well, the more families depend on private education because of perceived weaknesses in public schools, the more education risks becoming closely tied to household income.
A family that can afford higher fees may have access to smaller classes, better facilities and additional learning opportunities. On the other hand, a family that cannot may have little choice but to depend on an overstretched public system.
That creates an uncomfortable question: Is education becoming increasingly determined by how much a family can pay?
THE REAL EDUCATION BILL IS PAID AT HOME
Government budgets tell only part of the education story. The other part is being paid for by Nigerian households.
Even when basic education is officially free, families still absorb many of the costs associated with sending a child to school.
And when household incomes are squeezed by inflation, transportation costs and rising living expenses, education competes with food, healthcare and housing for the same limited income.
For a family with several children, the pressure multiplies. The result can be a cycle in which parents are forced to choose between keeping children in school and keeping the household financially afloat.
This is why economic access deserves as much attention as legal access if not more.
WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE?
Nigeria’s education challenge cannot be solved simply by putting more children on enrolment registers.
The country needs to address three things simultaneously: access, affordability and learning.
Public schools need adequate funding, infrastructure and qualified teachers.
Families facing genuine economic hardship need targeted support, including assistance with learning materials, school feeding and other costs that prevent children from remaining in school.
Illegal or excessive levies also need stronger oversight.
And education funding should be judged not only by how much money is allocated, but by what children actually experience in classrooms.
Most importantly, Nigeria needs to measure learning and completion—not just enrolment.
THE QUESTION BEYOND THIS SEPTEMBER
The back-to-school season should therefore force Nigeria to ask a bigger question.
Are we simply getting children into classrooms, or are we building an education system that families can afford and children can actually learn from?
Because access means little if a child enters school but cannot afford to stay. And enrolment means little if a child spends years in the classroom without acquiring the skills needed for life and work.
Nigeria’s education challenge is therefore no longer just about opening the school gate. It is about making sure children can enter, remain, learn and progress—regardless of their family’s income.
Nairobi will make history in 2029 after Kenya won the right to host the World Athletics Championships, becoming the first African city to stage the global event.
Kenya beat London and Rome to secure the hosting rights, with Munich selected to host the 2031 edition. President William Ruto described the decision as the championships “coming home”, celebrating the role generations of Kenyan athletes have played in shaping global athletics.
The successful bid marks a major turnaround for Kenya after its unsuccessful attempt to host the 2025 World Athletics Championships, which ultimately went to Tokyo.
Why Kenya won
One of Kenya’s biggest advantages was its deep connection with athletics. The country is the second-most successful nation in World Championships history, with 72 gold medals, behind only the United States.
Kenya also has 38 Olympic gold medals, with the majority coming from middle- and long-distance running. Global stars including Eliud Kipchoge, Faith Kipyegon and David Rudisha have helped cement the country’s reputation as an athletics powerhouse.
That passion extends beyond the athletes. World Athletics found that 68% of Kenyans surveyed had a high level of interest in athletics, compared with a global average of 39%. Athletics is also Kenya’s second-most-followed sport after football.
Kenya fixed a major weakness
Infrastructure was one of the biggest problems with Kenya’s previous bid.
This time, organisers presented an upgraded Kasarani Stadium, which will have a capacity of about 48,000 and is scheduled to host matches during the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which Kenya will co-host with Tanzania and Uganda.
Kenya also presented its tourism and hospitality capacity, with Nairobi offering international hotels, conference facilities and the unique attraction of a national game park within the city.
President Ruto additionally provided financial and security guarantees as part of the successful bid.
The $78 million commitment
Winning the bid is only the beginning.
Kenya estimates that the government will contribute about $78 million to stage the 2029 championships, with sponsorship expected to provide additional funding.
The country will also have to demonstrate that it can manage transport, security, accommodation, ticketing and stadium operations on a much larger scale.
The 2027 AFCON will effectively provide an important test of Nairobi’s ability to move large numbers of spectators in and out of Kasarani Stadium.
There are already concerns to address. The stadium experienced overcrowding during some matches at the 2024 African Nations Championship, while delays surrounding preparations for AFCON have raised questions about Kenya’s readiness.
Can Kenya fill the stadium?
Attendance will be another major test.
World Athletics generated $522 million in revenue from Tokyo 2025, with about 619,000 tickets sold across nine days. London 2017 recorded a higher figure, selling 705,000 tickets.
Kenya will therefore have to balance affordability with revenue generation while ensuring local fans are not priced out of the event.
That will be particularly important because attendance at major athletics championships has not always been guaranteed. At the 2017 Under-18 World Championships in Nairobi, organisers eventually made entry free after low attendance.
Kenyan organisers, however, are confident Kasarani will be full throughout the 2029 championships.
A historic opportunity — and major pressure
World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said bringing the championships to Africa was part of the organisation’s mission to grow the sport globally.
For Kenya, the event represents an opportunity to showcase its athletics culture, tourism industry and ability to host a major international sporting event.
But the country will also face scrutiny over infrastructure, transport, financing, ticket sales and anti-doping measures.
Kenya has faced a series of doping controversies in recent years, with 11 individuals banned by the Athletics Integrity Unit so far in 2026, adding another layer of pressure ahead of 2029.
The countdown has now begun.
Nairobi 2029 will not only be about Kenya's ability to produce world-class athletes. It will be a test of whether the country can successfully host the world’s biggest athletics championship on African soil for the first time.
Pope Leo XIV turned 71 this week, but his birthday was marked by a decision affecting Vatican employees. The pope reversed salary cuts introduced during Pope Francis’ pontificate as part of efforts to protect jobs during the financial pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The earlier measures included pay reductions for cardinals and clergy and salary freezes for some senior lay employees. The reversal comes as Pope Leo’s administration assesses the financial position of the Vatican and seeks to manage its institutions while maintaining their operations.
The pope also visited the Vatican Apostolic Library on his birthday and opened an exhibition focused on water, part of a five-year project titled “Catastrophe and Marvel.” The exhibition connects scientific, cultural and historical perspectives around water and its importance.
The decisions highlight the broader administrative challenges facing the Catholic Church as Pope Leo continues his first year as pontiff. His approach to Vatican finances, institutional management and the Church’s global mission is expected to remain an important part of his leadership.
OpenAI is working with two of its biggest AI rivals, Anthropic and Google’s DeepMind, on artificial intelligence safety, according to a Bloomberg report cited by Reuters. The cooperation comes as AI companies face increasing pressure to develop systems that are powerful but also reliable and safe.
The collaboration is notable because OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are competing aggressively in the rapidly expanding generative AI market. Their models are being integrated into search, productivity tools, software development and business applications, increasing the potential impact of failures or misuse.
OpenAI, Google and Anthropic Join Forces
AI safety has become a major issue as systems become more capable. Researchers and technology leaders are debating how to manage risks ranging from misinformation and cyberattacks to autonomous decision-making and the possibility of advanced AI systems behaving in unexpected ways. Reuters also reported this week that a former Google DeepMind researcher has renewed warnings about extreme AI risks.
For businesses and consumers, the significance is straightforward: the competition to build more powerful AI is continuing, but the companies developing these systems are increasingly recognising that safety standards and safeguards may require cooperation across the industry.
