Bagudu, who has been instrumental in driving economic reforms and policies under President Tinubu’s administration, noted that the budget reflects strategic investments aimed at economic growth, infrastructure development, and social welfare.
The presentation of the budget to a joint session of the National Assembly is a critical annual tradition, providing lawmakers with insight into the government’s priorities for the coming year.

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.

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.”

However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
