Stories from universities make headlines too. The UNILORIN bus crash shook a Nigerian campus community, raising questions about student safety and campus transport systems. Even without loss of life, critical injuries highlight the real risks young people face each day.

Her energetic sign language interpretation during a high-profile political interview isn’t just about TV—it’s a big deal for inclusivity and accessibility, making sure more people have a seat at the public conversation.
On the justice front, the sentencing for those convicted in the murder of former MP George Thuo has drawn attention, with prosecutors calling for the harshest penalties. It’s a case that keeps the spotlight on accountability and the search for real closure in high-profile crimes.
Natural disasters and their aftermath can’t be ignored either. Martha Karua is pushing for proper housing for families displaced by floods in Kenya, shining a light on the urgent housing crisis and the government’s role in responding to disasters beyond just quick fixes.
