President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu departed for a historic UK State Visit—Nigeria’s first in 37 years aimed at boosting ties in trade, investment and diplomacy.

Meanwhile in Maiduguri, Borno State, fear has gripped residents after multiple suspected suicide bomb blasts killed 23 people and injured over 140 others, with attacks reported near the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and local markets.

Security forces have since launched sweep operations, with President Tinubu and Governor Babagana Zulum condemning the attacks.

In another development, Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says plans are underway to evacuate citizens stranded in the Middle East as tensions around the Iran conflict escalate.

It comes as members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria staged protests across cities including Abuja and Kano, with one disturbing video showing a man depicted as Trump allegedly being assaulted during demonstrations.

Back in Lagos, outrage is growing after a viral video showed a man allegedly overcharged at a petrol station, with the meter already running before fuel was dispensed, sparking concerns over transparency in petrol sales.

In our good news report, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu reunited with two girls he helped return to school years ago, as they shared how education transformed their lives.

The governor also announced a $25 million education fund aimed at getting thousands of out-of-school children back into classrooms.

Finally, under milestones, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah turns 54, with President Tinubu praising his leadership and vision to grow the state’s economy through investment and reforms.
