By Muazu Abubakar Albarkawa Journalist and Public Analyst The recent decision to upgrade Kaduna Polytechnic into a federal university has renewed public discussion about the need to strengthen technical and vocational education in Nigeria. While this development represents a significant change in the country's educational landscape, it also presents an opportunity for the Federal Government to consider the status of other important institutions that have contributed to human capital development over the years. One such institution is Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria, Kaduna State. Established to provide technical, vocational and professional education, Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic has played an important role in training students in various fields and preparing them for employment, entrepreneurship and other contributions to national development. However, the institution deserves renewed attention regarding its funding, infrastructure, academic development and long-term sust...

By Ibrahim Mu'azu  The Court of Appeal sitting in Kaduna has rejected an application by Hon. Sani Sha’aban seeking to withdraw an appeal challenging a judgment ordering the sale of some of his properties in Kaduna and Kano to recover a debt owed to Alhaji Umar Faruk Abdullahi. During Wednesday’s proceedings, counsel to Sha’aban, Abubakar A. Muhammad, Esq., applied to withdraw the appeal filed in September 2026 to enable his client to consider his next line of action. However, counsel to Abdullahi, Abdullahi A. Yahaya, SAN, urged the court to reject the application, arguing that the same appeal had already been dismissed by the court in July following an earlier application and failure to comply with the applicable rules. After hearing the parties, the three-member panel, comprising Hon. Justice Onyekachi Aja Otisi, Hon. Justice Abimbola Osarugue Obaseki-Adejumo and Hon. Justice Lateef Adebayo Ganiyu, rejected Sha’aban’s application. The decision left in force the subsis...
