Yakubu Daniel, an alumnus of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), has renovated two lecture halls in the Faculty of Arts, providing a conducive learning environment for students.

The renovated lecture halls, popularly known as A-Block, was in a state of disrepair, with issues ranging from congestion and poor ventilation to dilapidated furniture.

The automobile and real estate mogul noted that his decision to give back to his alma mater was inspired by his personal experience as a student, where he witnessed firsthand the challenges posed by the lecture hall’s condition.

“I remember the struggles we faced as students, and I wanted to make a positive impact.I believe that a conducive learning environment is essential for academic success, and I’m glad I could contribute to that.

“Harvard is what it is today because of the intervention of alumni. As for me, I will keep supporting that community, so that the next generation of students will have access to a good atmosphere to learn in. I therefore call on members of our alumni body who can, to support this intervention course,” Yakubu said.

The renovation project, which was completed recently, has been hailed as a significant boost to the faculty. Students and lecturers alike have expressed gratitude for Yakubu’s kindness, praising his selfless act.

“This renovation has transformed our learning experience,” said a student. “We’re grateful for Yakubu’s generosity and commitment to our education.”

  • Jilli Airstrike: Supporters Of Terrorists Will Be Treated As Bandits, Defence Minister Warns Defence Minister Christopher Musa has warned that supporters of terrorists would be treated as criminals. He said this on Monday as he reacted to the airstrike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Jilli, Borno State, over the weekend. Speaking after an expanded security meeting in Kaduna with the state governor and heads of security agencies, Musa said the operation sends a clear message to those collaborating with terrorist groups. He stressed that anyone found supporting insurgents would face the same consequences as the perpetrators. “A friend of a thief is a thief,” he said, warning civilians against associating with or providing any form of assistance to terrorists. Musa urged residents to steer clear of areas known to be used by insurgents, noting that proximity or collaboration could have grave consequences. The airstrike, carried out near the village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area, targeted what the military described as an ISWAP enclave and logistics hub. According to the Nigerian Air Force, the operation was intelligence-driven and aimed at neutralising terror elements and destroying their equipment. However, reports have emerged alleging that the strike may have affected a weekly market in the area, with civilians, including cross-border traders, reportedly among casualties. Musa, however, maintained that the strike should serve as a strong warning to those aiding insurgent activities, reaffirming the military’s resolve to intensify operations against terrorist networks. Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. Giving an update on the airstrike, the Nigerian Army in a post on its official X handle said, “The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.”
