The 84-year-old had arrived at the stadium ahead of the high-profile fixture but required medical attention less than an hour before kick-off. Medical staff initially attended to him in the Stretford End tunnel before he was later moved into an ambulance for further assessment.

Reports suggest the hospital visit was precautionary, with sources expressing confidence that he is expected to recover at home. One source said Ferguson was “okay” and seen sitting up inside the ambulance. The club declined to comment, according to The Sun.

Ferguson remains a regular presence at Old Trafford, often watching matches from the directors’ box. After retiring in 2013, he served as a club ambassador for 12 years and remains the most successful manager in Manchester United’s history.

The recent scare is not believed to be linked to the brain haemorrhage he suffered in 2018, which required emergency surgery after doctors initially gave him a low chance of survival.

He later reflected on the experience in the documentary Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In, where he described the severity of the incident and his survival as fortunate.

The meeting will determine the minimum cut-off marks for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), along with other admission requirements for universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and other higher institutions for the 2026/2027 academic session.

Naija News reports that this was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.

Benjamin stated that the policy meeting will hold in Abuja and will bring together major stakeholders in the education sector.

He added that the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, is expected to present key policy directions for the upcoming admission cycle.

According to the statement, the meeting will officially set the framework for the 2026/2027 admission exercise and ensure that institutions adhere strictly to approved guidelines.

Participants expected at the meeting include vice-chancellors, rectors, provosts, registrars, and admissions officers from tertiary institutions across Nigeria.

The statement further noted that representatives of regulatory bodies such as the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), and National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) will also be in attendance.

Benjamin explained that the meeting will allow stakeholders to review admission-related issues and agree on standards for the new academic session.

He also said goodwill messages will be delivered by organisations such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), highlighting the importance of coordinated planning in the education sector.

In addition, the sixth edition of the National Tertiary Admissions Performance-Merit Awards (NATAP-M) will be held during the event.

According to him, the initiative has strengthened compliance with admission rules and improved transparency across tertiary institutions.

Benjamin noted that NATAP-M has “ensured strict adherence to admission guidelines and contributed greatly to the development of tertiary education in the country.”

The resolutions from the meeting are expected to guide institutions in conducting admissions for the 2026/2027 academic session.

News recalls that Tiwa Savage began her music journey abroad, where she worked as a backup singer for international stars like George Michael and Mary J. Blige before relocating to Nigeria and signing with Mavin Records.

In an interview with TVC, the singer explained that her transition into Afrobeats was made easier by her former label boss, Don Jazzy, who helped reshape her mindset about music and creativity.

According to the ‘Kele Kele Love’ singer, Don Jazzy encouraged her to believe that talent has no limits and that she could excel in any sound she chose to explore.

She added that Don Jazzy broadened her musical outlook and pushed her beyond her R&B background.

Tiwa Savage said she has no regrets about returning to Nigeria or embracing Afrobeats.

She said, “It was difficult for me to transition from R&B to street sounds. But when I was at Mavin Records, Don Jazzy opened my mind to so many different things. He made me believe that talent was not limited, that I could do anything if I really focused on it.

“He took me out of that R&B bubble and introduced me to other sounds.”
