POSITION PAPER ON HOLIDAY LESSONS: MERITS, DEMERITS AND THE NEED FOR A BALANCED APPROACH                    BY              CHIEF OKEDUSI A. B 1.0 Introduction Holiday lessons refer to organised academic instruction, revision, coaching or remedial teaching undertaken by learners during periods officially designated as school holidays. In practice, it involves learners returning to school or attending organised classes during the holiday period for the purpose of revising previously taught topics, preparing for examinations, addressing learning gaps or getting ahead of the next academic session.

Nigeria is being turned around holistically for the benefit of the masses. Kudos to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu! Initially, I had the strong impression that Nigeria could not achieve meaningful industrial development until a government came with the determination to address the fundamental challenges confronting the nation. I must acknowledge that the present administration has taken significant steps and is making giant strides in this direction.

Similarly, in road construction and rehabilitation, virtually every geopolitical zone is witnessing federal government intervention. The scale and spread of these projects are unprecedented and demonstrate a commit...

TINUBU: A DEMOCRAT WHO BUILDS BRIDGES ACROSS POLITICAL DIVIDES   by Ch Okedusi A.B  It is indeed remarkable when people who have spent decades in the political wilderness suddenly attempt to lecture a man who has demonstrated, through decades of political engagement, what democracy, political accommodation and sacrifice truly mean. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not merely a politician who understands democracy from textbooks; he is a practitioner who has lived through its battles, setbacks, alliances and sacrifices. One of the most remarkable features of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's political leadership is his ability to recognise talent and progressive minds beyond party lines. His philosophy appears to be simple: wherever good ideas, competence and commitment to the development of Nigeria exist, they should not be discarded simply because they come from the opposition. This explains why President Tinubu has continued to extend the hand of political inclusion to people wh...
