Trump and Xi Jinping Talk on Trade, TikTok, and Working Together for Global Peace

United States President-elect Donald Trump revealed on Friday that he had a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The discussion came at a critical time, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to allow a controversial ban on TikTok to take effect over the weekend.
The ruling dismissed an appeal by TikTok’s owners, who argued that the ban infringed on First Amendment rights.
Trump shared that the conversation covered significant global and bilateral issues, including trade imbalances, the fentanyl crisis, the future of TikTok, and more.
“I had a great call with Chairman Xi Jinping of China. It was a positive discussion for both our nations. We are ready to address critical issues immediately, including trade, fentanyl, and TikTok.
Together, we will work toward making the world a safer and more peaceful place,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Dr. Ody Ajike Says Trump’s Immigration Policies Undermine Other Nations

Security expert and lawyer Dr. Ody Ajike has criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing him of undervaluing other nations with his immigration policies.
In an interview with The Sun, Ajike acknowledged that every country has the right to regulate immigration but argued that Trump often makes decisions without considering the facts.
“Trump thrives on authoritarian populism, a growing global trend that leads to repressive policies and disregards collective decision-making,” he said. Ajike also expressed concerns about Trump’s approach, stating that the former president has a distorted view of reality.
“We still don’t know what he hopes to achieve with this immigration policy. No country exists in isolation,” he added.
He further criticized Trump for treating other nations as inferior while overlooking the complexities of American society, which, according to him, is built on inequalities and exploitative labor structures. “Other countries will focus on strengthening what matters to them,” Ajike concluded.

Education Ministry Says 12-Year School System is Not an Immediate Change

The Ministry of Education has clarified that Minister Tunji Alausa only proposed a shift to a 12-year basic education system and not an immediate policy change. The plan, which aims to phase out the Junior and Senior Secondary School system, is still under review.
According to the ministry, the proposal will not take effect right away. A final decision will only be made after thorough discussions and evaluations.
In a statement signed by Director of Press Folasade Boriowo, the ministry emphasized that the National Council on Education (NCE) must assess the proposal before any implementation.
“At the Extraordinary National Council on Education Meeting held on February 6, 2025, in Abuja, Minister of Education Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa presented the idea for discussion, not as an immediate policy shift,” the statement read.
The proposal suggests transitioning to 12 years of compulsory education while keeping the current 6-3-3 structure. However, this plan is still open to further consultation and deliberation.
To ensure a well-informed decision, the ministry will engage key stakeholders over the next eight months. This includes education policymakers, state governments, teachers, parents, and other relevant groups. The final decision on whether to adopt the reform will be made at the National Council on Education meeting in October 2025.
