As winter grips Gaza, flooding and freezing conditions are worsening an already desperate humanitarian crisis.
The UN says respiratory infections are rising sharply.
Al Jazeera’s Cara Legg reports.
Earlier this week, I flagged off the construction of K-Wara Dairy Farm, another landmark project of our administration, in Malete, Moro LGA.
The initiative is a reflection of our efforts to promote livestock production, strengthen food and nutrition security, and generate employment opportunities for the people of our state.
Our administration has been deliberate in investing in the livestock sector through the Livestock Productivity and Resilient Project (L-PRES), Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZ), artificial insemination of cattle for improved breed, and many others. Our target is to make Kwara a hub for milk production in the country.
I encourage our youth and women to take full advantage of these opportunities by participating actively in dairy farming, processing, marketing, and other related enterprises.
I also appeal for the support of all stakeholders, including the host community, traditional institutions, dairy farmers and private investors to ensure that the K-Wara Dairy Farm achieves its objectives.
👏 HAMILTON: “YARDIMLARIN ENGELLENMEMESİ İÇİN İSRAİL’E BASKI YAPMALIYIZ.”
👀 Lewis Hamilton: “Bugün Mısır Kızılayı ile birlikteyim. Gazze’ye gönderilmek üzere hazırladıkları insani yardım kolilerini yüklüyorlar. Bugün, harika gönüllüleri eşliğinde Refah Sınır Kapısı’na gittiler.
Mısır genelinde 70.000’den fazla gönüllüleri var ve burada her gün 2.000’den fazla kişi, bu kolilerin mümkün olan en iyi şekilde hazırlanıp paketlenmesini sağlamak için gönüllü olarak çalışıyor. Yardımların gönderilmesi için her şey hazır.
Bu nedenle İsrail’e, Filistin tarafındaki sınır kapısını yeniden açması için gerçekten baskı yapmalıyız. Çünkü her gün yeterli sayıda yardım tırı geçiş yapamıyor.
Gazze ve Filistin’deki insanlar o kadar acil bir ihtiyaç içerisindeler ki, şu anda bu yardımlara duydukları ihtiyaç daha fazla olamaz. Bu yüzden gerçekten baskı kurmalı ve bu yardımların oraya ulaşmasını sağlamak için birlikte hareket etmeliyiz.
Burada çok büyük miktarda yardım bulunuyor. Üstelik bu merkez, Filistin’deki bireylerin ve ailelerin ihtiyaç duyduğu gıda, ilaç ve diğer temel malzemelerle dolu olan harika yardım merkezlerinden yalnızca biri.”
Transforming Higher Education in Kwara: Inside Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s Investments in Tertiary Institutions and Student Welfare.
Since assuming office in 2019, the administration @followKWSG of Kwara State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman @RealAARahman AbdulRazaq, CON, has treated human capital development as the cornerstone of sustainable economic growth. Beyond revitalizing basic education across the state's sixteen local government areas, the Governor has engineered a comprehensive transformation of Kwara’s tertiary education, combining massive campus infrastructure, institutional expansion, direct student welfare, and entrepreneurship support.
One of the most symbols of Governor AbdulRazaq’s governance philosophy, ensuring Kwara does not become a graveyard of abandoned projects is the completion of the Kwara State University (KWASU) multi-campus network.
Initiated years earlier but stalled due to bottlenecks, both the Osi Campus (Kwara South) and the Ilesha Baruba Campus (Kwara North) were brought to completion under the AbdulRazaq administration. Following the commissioning of the Osi Campus in 2025, academic activities expanded beyond the main Malete campus, decentralizing university education, easing accommodation pressures, and stimulating rapid socio-economic growth across host communities in all three senatorial districts.
Recognizing the rising cost of higher education and the economic pressures facing undergraduates, Governor AbdulRazaq approved a 50 percent upward review of the annual student bursary, raising it from ₦20,000 to ₦30,000 for eligible Kwara indigenes studying in tertiary institutions nationwide.
Going beyond traditional lecture room support, the AbdulRazaq administration introduced the Kwara Student Empowerment Programme. Designed to promote self-reliance and reduce graduate unemployment, the initiative provides targeted support to undergraduates who actively run businesses while studying.
Through a transparent screening process culminating in the Kwara Entrepreneurship Expo, student business owners across sectors such as agro-processing, fashion, ICT, confectionery, phone repairs, and digital media receive equipment and financial support.
The Governor’s footprint across Kwara’s higher institutions extends well beyond KWASU and student welfare:
Establishment of KWASUED: The administration successfully established the Kwara State University of Education (KWASUED) in Ilorin, appointing seasoned academic Prof. Medinat Folorunso Salman as its pioneer Vice-Chancellor
Re-accreditation and Accreditation Recovery: Upon taking office, the administration cleared inherited accreditation backlogs across state-owned institutions, restoring full regulatory standing and protecting the academic future of thousands of students.
Consistent Subventions and Industrial Harmony: Through prompt payment of staff salaries, improved subventions, and sustained engagement with academic unions, Kwara’s state-owned tertiary institutions have enjoyed prolonged periods of industrial stability and uninterrupted academic calendar
Through strategic capital investments, institutional integrity, and direct financial empowerment, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, has redefined public investment in higher education. By equipping students with modern campuses, financial relief, and entrepreneurial tools, his administration is not merely awarding degrees, it is building a resilient, self-reliant generation positioned to drive Kwara State’s development for decades to come. #IwàjúLàNlọ
Well done bro, Just like the brand new Opebi Bridge that Governor @jidesanwoolu built, It’s been in the Lagos Masterplan since the days of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu GCFR as Governor of Lagos State, the Regional Road, the Lagos Calabar Coastal Road, Infact I have posted different pictures of how Lagos State has been protecting the Lagos Coastal Road corridor for so many years with the hope that someday, A President will be ambitious enough to get it done, just like we have seen videos of Governor Tinubu showing the masterplan of both the Red and Blue Line Rail Projects.
For the Plans, It’s more of funding issue than just ‘political will’, Only Lagos State is trying to build as many major projects as possible at the same time, with limits in the budget and loan cycle, the advantage of this is that, every successive Governor has so many things on ground to pick from and work on, to make the State better and better.

From becoming Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly in 2019, to re-election in 2023, and now emerging as the @OfficialAPCNg governorship candidate for 2027, Salihu Yakubu-Danladi continues to show what is possible when competence and opportunity meet.
His journey is proof that leadership is not defined by age, but by vision, performance and the ability to earn the people's trust. Kwara's future is in capable hands, and Nigeria needs more young people at the decision-making table!
Yesterday, I hosted our 'special four' and winners of the 2026 presidential school debate at the Ahmadu Bello House Ilorin. Kwara is winning the championship for the fifth consecutive time. My meeting with the team afforded me the opportunity to personally appreciate their excellent performance that has, once again, brought honour to the state.
I also received the Kwara students who represented Nigeria at an international contest in Kenya and returned 2nd runner-up, as well as the team that emerged 1st runner-up at the senior category of the presidential school debate held in Rivers State.
I'm excited at the accomplishments of these young scholars. They are justifying the investment of our administration in the education sector. It was, therefore, my pleasure to award them the sum of N3 million each, while their coaches took N1m home apiece.
Our investment in education is not limited to just infrastructure and buildings in schools, we are also committing huge resources to the training and retraining of teachers, improving our curriculum, and doing the best we can to make students stay in schools. Our introduction of KwaraLEARN has made our public schools highly competitive with many parents increasingly enrolling their wards there.
Also yesterday, I visited the under-construction multi-storey Oluremi Tinubu Hospital in Ilorin to assess the quality and its level of progress.
I'm satisfied with the work done so far. We want the best for our people. All major high-end imaging equipment, such as MRI, CT scan, mammogram, X-rays, and others are already on ground for installation.
We are now counting down to completion. We hope to commission the facility as soon as possible. We will continue to monitor the consultants and contractors to be on time and execute an efficient job.

If it is not about ruling class opulence and waste, it is not good enough for Saraki. It is why the people continue to reject them in Kwara. People want leadership that prioritises their welfare, not one that takes pride in ruling class comfort. That is why HEAA edges them always. #IwajuLaNlo
I am very glad to learn that Team Kwara has won the highly competitive 2026 presidential school debate for a record fifth time.
I commend our pupils -- Halimoh Abdulazeez (Ilorin West), Khadija Kazeem (Offa), Omolola Ibrahim (Moro), and Samaila Daniel (Ilorin East) -- who represented the state at the national contest for their excellent performance that has sustained the momentum.
I also congratulate leaders and officials of the State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, SUBEB, the dedicated teachers who coached the team, their parents, and all other people who supported the scholars to earn the victory.
Essentially, this feat and other achievements of Kwara pupils at different fora are a reflection that the investments of our administration in the education sector for the past seven years are yielding good results. I am, indeed, encouraged to do more.
I equally congratulate Professor Sheu Raheem Adaramaja on his award as the best SUBEB Chairman in Nigeria. It is a deserving reward for his relentless efforts and dedication to the growth of basic education in our state and across the country.
People ask why we haven’t got an Abdul El-Sayed here, well👇🏾 and of course the brilliant Hannah Spencer
Imagine if Zack had won his by-election instead of that corporate Starmer Labour candidate, how much he would have already stood up for what’s right in parliament.
There are many reasons why there are so few paths to parliament for vocal pro-Palestine socialist candidates, but lack of talent is not one of them
@MiddleEastEye Stealing Palestinian homes, land, sheep, olive groves, water, lives is what these Zio thugs are good at. The world has seen your ugly face. Your quest for a Greater Israel will become no Israel soon. The Apartheid Occupation will end. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
A group of Israeli settlers have seized eight Palestinian homes on Wednesday in Jericho, located in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian sources reported that the settlers, accompanied by their families, stormed the eight homes, which were empty at the time of the raid
@YesItsBash Not even a fan of APC but this Governor changed lot of things about the state moved the state foward 3X what it used to be if others performed like him we would be miles ahead a couple of states rn
