Let’s try as much to send Salawat upon the Prophet (SAW) and also to the ones who can, try give sadaqah! 💚
Allahumma Salli Wa Sallim Ala’ Nabiyyina Muhammad. -
Also, remember to recite Surah Kahf today, it’s rewarding.
The 6th @BioRTCNig International #Computational#Neuroscience Summer School has just concluded, and it has been our most memorable yet.
Since founding @BioRTCNig in 2021, we have organised six annual summer schools with the support of the #Yobe State Government and our international partners and funders. Together, these programmes have trained more than 1,000 scientists across #Africa, from undergraduate students to professors.
Last and this year, we focused on Computational Neurosciences led by @MMaravall and @AlbertCompte and funded by @SimonsFdn. This year we received nearly 400 applications from across Africa for fewer than 40 places. The calibre of applicants continues to grow, and so does the urgency of what we are doing.
This year's edition was particularly significant. It was the first hosted in BioRTC's newly commissioned permanent facility, built by the Yobe State Government and officially opened in January 2026. Seeing scientists from across Africa and Europe learning and collaborating in a building that only recently existed as a vision was extraordinary.
Our international faculty brought far more than lectures and practical sessions. They brought world-class expertise, mentorship, and networks that open doors for African scientists, while experiencing firsthand the talent and potential that exists here in Yobe State and across the continent.
As has become a cherished tradition, we had the honour of briefing His Excellency the Executive Governor of Yobe State, ably represented by the Deputy Governor, on the summer school's activities. We also had the privilege of visiting His Royal Highness Alhaji (Dr.) Shehu Hashimi II Ibn Umar Al-Ameen El-Kanemi, the Emir of Damaturu, who welcomed us with his characteristic warmth and generosity. These visits remind us that BioRTC's work is not just scientific, it is deeply rooted in community, tradition, and shared purpose.
To our faculty, staff, students, partners, and funders — thank you. We are building something real in Yobe State, and the best is still ahead.

In commemoration of the world 🌎 Environment day, yesterday NEAZDP was at the college of Education Gashua to celebrate the day with management of the college and delivered 1000 seedlings of assorted plants for use in the school premises. Our team was recieved by the Provost and his principal officers.
To whom it may concern:
Dear Muslim sisters, please try your best to refrain from posting indecent pictures on the internet. I understand that I am not the target audience, but I must say that there is absolutely nothing classy about it.
I always say this: besides career civil servants, your time in government is not your career, it is national service.
So proud of Babatunde Fashola too - and there is a good lesson here for others. Public office is temporary; character, competence, and service are what endure.
