“Beyond the Certificate: Nigerian Students Set Bold Post-Graduation Plans”
With the rising call for tertiary institutions to produce job creators instead of job seekers, students across Nigerian higher institutions are already mapping out their futures beyond graduation. While some are determined to venture into entrepreneurship, others are keen on acquiring more knowledge and advanced certifications to sharpen their competitive edge in the ever-expanding labour market.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to IREPORTERONLINE findings, many undergraduates see university admission not just as a pathway to earning a certificate, but also as a life-changing opportunity for personal growth and future advancement. However, as graduation draws closer, the inevitable question of “what next?” looms large.
For Amuwa Olufemi, a 400-level student of Redeemer’s University, the answer is clear. He revealed that his post-graduation focus will be on developing his automobile business. “I’ve always been passionate about cars. I want to build a brand that makes a mark in the industry while providing excellent services. My goal is to be my own boss, take on risks, and channel my passion into creating something impactful,” he said.
Omowumi Olawale, an HND 2 student of Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), expressed her resolve to pursue further studies. She explained that continuous learning is the key to unlocking her full potential. “Education is lifelong. I believe that with more knowledge, I can make meaningful contributions to my community and field of study,” she said.
Similarly, Esther Emedom, a 400-level student of Caleb University, Lagos, emphasized her desire to become an entrepreneur. “Starting my own business will give me the freedom to pursue my passions and contribute positively to my community. I want to make an impact through entrepreneurship,” she affirmed.
For Anozike Alexander of Covenant University, Ogun State, his passion lies in the digital space. He revealed his intention to pursue a career in social media management. “Social media is a powerful communication and marketing tool. I’ve managed accounts for student organisations and created content for various projects. I plan to use my skills to help businesses and individuals thrive in the digital age,” he noted.
As graduation approaches, one reality is clear: Nigerian students are determined to shape their future on their own terms—whether through business, advanced learning, or technology-driven careers.

FINALLY! Super Falcons Smile To The Bank As Federal Government Delivers Massive Long-Awaited Rewards!.
Hours before kicking off their title defense at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, the Super Falcons of Nigeria finally received their promised federal rewards for their historic 2024 WAFCON victory.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
National Sports Commission (NSC) Chairman Shehu Dikko handed over the packages to the squad in Rabat on Tuesday, July 28, ahead of Nigeria’s opening Group C match against Malawi. Official photos shared by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) captured Dikko alongside NFF General Secretary Dr. Mohammed Sanusi and team captain Rasheedat Ajibade during the presentation. The packages included national honours certificates and title documents for the three-bedroom houses promised to each squad member.
The rewards stem from Nigeria’s unforgettable comeback in the 2024 final, where the Super Falcons overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat tournament hosts Morocco 3-2, clinching a record-extending 10th continental crown. In the wake of that triumph, President Bola Tinubu pledged a comprehensive reward package:
-
$100,000 for each player.
-
$50,000 for every member of the technical crew and backroom staff.
-
Three-bedroom houses for every team member.
-
National honours (Officer of the Order of the Niger).
While the cash rewards were disbursed following administrative clearances, the presentation of the housing documents and honors certificates was held back until the team regrouped in Morocco for the current tournament.
Explaining the timing prior to his trip, NSC Chairman Dikko noted: “I am leaving Glasgow for Morocco this week to present keys to the houses… Even their $100,000 has been paid into their various bank accounts. We decided to delay the presentation… because we wanted a situation whereby the players would be together. I am sure it will boost their morale ahead of the 2026 WAFCON.”
Despite the morale boost, the Super Falcons faced a shocking setback in their quest for an unprecedented 11th title, suffering a 3-2 defeat against tournament debutants Malawi on Tuesday night. Nigeria will look to bounce back in their upcoming matches against Zambia and Egypt to secure their progression from Group C.

The Acting Federal Controller of Works in Ogun State, Engr. R. Adeleye, made the announcement on Tuesday, noting that a new schedule will be communicated at a later date. While the ministry did not specify the exact cause for the pause, Adeleye expressed regret over the eleventh-hour notice and apologized to motorists and road users for the abrupt change.
Prior to the suspension, Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, had released a traffic advisory outlining lane reductions along a 1.5-kilometre section to ensure a secure workspace for contractors. Authorities had warned of potential slow-downs near the Fatgbems Turn area and urged drivers to follow traffic regulations and cooperate with management personnel.
As of the time of this report, the Federal Ministry of Works has not yet confirmed a rescheduled start date for the expansion joint repairs.
