Reports have been shared stating that the Nigerian Army has launched a new programme designed to train and improve the skills of engineers in tackling threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

The seminar is being organised by the 41 Engineer Brigade of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.

It was stated “Improvised Explosive Devices have become one of the greatest security threats confronting the Nigerian Army in ongoing counter-insurgency operations. Their widespread use has complicated military operations and humanitarian activities in conflict-affected areas.”

It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.

It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.

“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”

The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.

He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”

The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.

However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
