First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Advocates for Mental Health Awareness in the Workplace

Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has highlighted the urgent need to focus on mental health, particularly in workplace settings.
Speaking on Thursday, she brought attention to this critical issue as Nigeria joins the global community in observing Mental Health Awareness Day.
This year’s theme, “It’s Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace,” resonates deeply, especially in an era where many individuals grapple with dissatisfaction and stress at work.
The First Lady emphasized that mental well-being is often compromised during challenging times, making it essential for organizations to prioritize mental health initiatives.
She noted that unexpressed emotions can lead to serious mental health issues, urging employers and employees alike to create an open dialogue about mental well-being.
Oluremi Tinubu stated that if fears of stigmatization were absent, more individuals would be willing to discuss their struggles, enabling earlier diagnoses and more effective recovery strategies.
The First Lady passionately expressed that mental health support must extend beyond the workplace, advocating for a culture of love and understanding that fosters open conversations about mental health challenges.
By doing so, the prevalence of mental health issues can be significantly reduced, contributing to a healthier society.
She encouraged everyone to take an active role in enhancing mental health awareness, urging individuals to seek medical assistance and counseling as soon as they notice signs of distress.
Emphasizing the importance of community, she urged everyone to look out for one another, reinforcing the idea that collective effort is essential for building a safer and more supportive environment for all.

Teenage Girl Sues JAMB After Being Forced to Remove Her Hijab Before UTME Exam

A teenage girl, Lawal Hameedat Adenike, has filed a lawsuit against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the PEFTI Centre after allegedly being forced to remove her hijab before sitting for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The suit was filed by her mother and legal representative, Basirat Ojo, who spoke to journalists in Abuja about the distressing incident. Ojo explained that on April 25, 2025, at the PEFTI CBT Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State, her daughter was told she could not take the exam unless she removed her hijab, which she wears as a religious obligation. Ojo described the experience as humiliating and emotionally distressing for her daughter, adding that it was a clear violation of her rights.
The lawsuit is seeking a public apology from both JAMB and PEFTI, to be published in two national newspapers. Additionally, it calls for compensation for the rights violation and a court ruling that any policy requiring female candidates to remove their hijabs is unconstitutional.
Lawal’s lawyer, Qousim Opakunle, emphasized that the case is based on constitutional rights. He argued that the directive violated Section 38 of the Nigerian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, especially for minors who are vulnerable to such injustices.

JAMB 2025: Nigerians Cry Out as Students Get Shockingly Low Jamb Scores

Many Nigerians are expressing deep concern over the poor performance recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), following the release of the results by JAMB on Friday. Social media has since been flooded with reactions from worried parents, students, and education stakeholders, many of whom believe the scores don’t reflect the true efforts of the candidates.
One user, Oluwaseun, took to X to voice his frustration, sharing a screenshot of a student named Egbaze Victoria who allegedly scored 295 in last year’s UTME but shockingly got 132 this year. “Something is seriously wrong with these results,” he wrote. “These scores don’t reflect the abilities or track records of these students.”
Another user, Chukwuma Pius, also shared his frustration, claiming JAMB sent his daughter a result that doesn’t belong to her. “This is heartbreaking,” he said. “As a retired teacher, I know what she’s capable of. The result they sent cannot be hers.”
These complaints come after JAMB disclosed that over 1.5 million candidates scored below 200 this year, sparking widespread calls for an investigation into the entire process. Reacting to the controversy, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi described the outcome of this year’s UTME as worrisome and emphasized the need for urgent reforms in the education sector.
