ON April 25, the global community marked World Malaria Day 2026 with an urgent theme, “Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can. Now We Must.” This message is a call to action anchored on a rare convergence of scientific progress and global resolve.

Electricity Act: What are states waiting for? By Punch Editorial Board on April 29, 2026 – Recommended Nigerian Newspaper Report 40

NEARLY three years after the Electricity Act 2023 dismantled the legal monopoly that once concentrated authority in Abuja, many states are still dithering.

All levels of government in the country should not only be concerned but also ashamed of the high poverty among Nigerians and the deteriorating living conditions.
