The Federal Government deducted N500 billion from May's federation revenue to create an emergency security intervention fund, as Nigeria battles escalating banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency across multiple regions. In a dramatic twist, IPOB has now suspended Nnamdi Kanu's own leadership just hours after he dissolved the Directorate of State, with the group declaring no single individual has authority to dissolve its apex leadership structure. Nigeria will hold its first-ever National Learning Assessment Week from June 29th to July 3rd, evaluating students in Primary 3, Primary 5, JS2, and SS2 across all 36 states to identify learning gaps nationwide. Former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu has officially resumed duties as Nigeria's Ambassador to Qatar, arriving in Doha to strengthen trade, investment, and energy ties between both nations. Olabisi Onabanjo University declared a lecture-free day after armed robbers shot dead a final-year student during an early morning hostel raid in Ago-Iwoye, sparking student protests over campus security. Katsina Police arrested 20-year-old Aisha Muktar Hassan for allegedly striking her 97-year-old grandmother with a wooden chair during a domestic dispute in Daura, killing her. Nigerian superstar Tems performed her hit "Me & U" at the Obama Presidential Center's grand opening in Chicago, a song personally handpicked by Obama for his 2023 summer playlist. #trendingnews #newsupdate #nigerianews
