Tinubu Mourns 40 Tijaniyya Members Killed in Kaduna Crash, Urges Road Safety
President Bola Tinubu expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of 40 members of the Tijaniyya Movement, who lost their lives in a devastating auto accident.
The crash occurred on Sunday as the victims were returning from Kwandari in Plateau State, where they had gathered to celebrate Maulud in Saminaka, Kaduna State.
Their bus tragically collided with a truck in Lere, Kaduna State, leaving many others seriously injured.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu conveyed heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, as well as to the people and governments of both Kaduna and Plateau States.
He shared in the grief of the Tijaniyya Movement and acknowledged the profound loss to the community.
The President also took a moment to pray for the souls of those who perished in the accident and wished a quick recovery for the injured.
In light of this heartbreaking event, he called on the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) to step up its efforts in monitoring highways across the country.
He emphasized the urgent need to improve road safety measures to prevent future accidents and safeguard the lives of Nigerians travelling on the nation’s highways.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
