    Posted by allcitynews.ng  Degrees alone are no longer enough - MTN Pulse Nigeria and Project Management Institute (PMI) take future-ready skills to Nigerian campuses. As artificial intelligence, automation, and digital transformation reshape industries worldwide, employers are increasingly looking beyond academic qualifications to practical skills such as problem-solving, adaptability, collaboration, and leadership. For today's university students, success will depend not only on what they know but on their ability to apply that knowledge in a rapidly evolving world of work.   It is this understanding that underpins MTN Nigeria's Live it 100 on Campus roadshow, which is visiting seven universities across five of Nigeria's six geopolitical zones to connect students to emerging career opportunities and equip them with the skills and insights needed to succeed.  The roadshow began at Delta State University in June and will continue at Ekiti State Universit...

  By allcitynews.ng  The leadership of Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has warned the Federal Government against any move to concession or privatise the nation’s 120 Federal Government Colleges, popularly known as Unity Colleges. Just it charged Federal Government to shun anything that could derail the purpose for establishment of the schools, and also called on Old Boys Associations of those schools to establish their own schools rather than planned convertion of those schools. Speaking at a press conference held on Wednesday at King’s College, Lagos, the National Vice President of the union, Comrade Olubunmi Fajobi, said the proposed concession would make the schools inaccessible to children from low-income families and put the jobs of thousands of workers at risk. Fajobi said the union remained firmly opposed to handing over the schools to private investors or old students’ associations, insisting that Unity Colleges are national assets established t...

  By Sulaiman Aledeh There is something far more dangerous than a gun. It is an idea. An idea repeated so often that it begins to sound like the truth. An idea whispered in homes, shouted at political rallies, amplified on the radio, circulated on WhatsApp, rewarded on social media and eventually accepted by society. The idea that some human beings are worth less than others. Lately, I have watched with a heavy heart as Nigerians casually describe entire ethnic groups in language that should trouble every decent conscience. One comment in particular has refused to leave my mind. It declared that if one encountered a member of a certain tribe and a snake at the same time, the person should be killed before the snake. Read that again. Not because of anything that individual had done. Not because of any crime committed. Simply because of the tribe into which they were born. If that does not frighten us, perhaps we have stopped paying attention to history. Before Rwanda descended into ...
