Here are the morning roundup of major events shaping conversations across Nigeria this Friday.
From the appointment of a 39-year-old professor as the registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to primaries conducted by members of the ruling All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections, and growing security concerns in the South-West.
Leading the headlines is the revelation by the Defence Headquarters that the recent kidnapping incident in Oyo State was carried out by dislodged JAS terrorists, raising fresh concerns over the movement of insurgent elements beyond the North-East.
In another major development, the appointment of Prof Segun Aina as the new JAMB boss is already generating reactions within academic and policy circles.
Meanwhile, emotions remain high in Oyo State as the slain school teacher murdered by suspected kidnappers is set for burial today, with family members, colleagues and residents still demanding justice.
