According to him, ‘reflecting on the journey it has been both challenging and rewarding in this period of our lives.
“But one thing cannot be over-emphasized, a solid foundation has been laid.

This is what launches us into another level in the future”, he noted.
The best graduating JSS 3 student, Omolere Usman, of the school expresses satisfaction for maintaining his first position throughout his Ayogbemi Junior Secondary School level.
I’m happy because I worked hard to maintain this position, I appreciate God for his grace, also I will commend the school for their supports with basic infrastructure making the environment an enabling place for learning.

“As a child, I had a passion for education, I am a teacher, teaching is one of the best jobs, it’s a professional job that produces all professionals in the human race.
” Therefore, this teaching profession needs to be respected any time any day this was what motivated me.
“I worked under someone as a teacher but by His grace, that passion I had has impacted positively in people’s lives.
“Presently I have five students am sponsoring aboard to further their education”.
“I will call on parents to allow their children to learn moral lessons from schools when a child is wrong to let he or she be disciplined.
“When we were growing up things happened but not the way everything is going now.
“Children have no moral values, what is happening in the nation impacts negatively on these children which most guardians may not be aware of such act but through their teachers, the attitude is discovered
Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend
Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined to 15.10 per cent in January 2026, marking a significant drop from 27.61 per cent recorded in January 2025, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.
The report also showed that month-on-month inflation recorded a deflationary trend of –2.88 per cent, representing a 3.42 percentage-point decrease compared to December 2025. Analysts say the development signals easing price pressures across key sectors of the economy.
Food inflation stood at 8.89 per cent year-on-year, down from 29.63 per cent in January 2025. On a month-on-month basis, food prices declined by 6.02 per cent, reflecting lower costs in several staple commodities.
The data suggests a sustained downward trajectory in inflation over the past 12 months, pointing to improving macroeconomic stability.
The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently attributed recent economic adjustments to ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising prices, boosting agricultural output, and strengthening domestic supply chains.
Economic analysts note that while the latest figures indicate progress, sustaining the downward trend will depend on continued policy discipline, exchange rate stability, and improvements in food production and distribution.
The January report provides one of the clearest indications yet that inflationary pressures, which surged in early 2025, may be moderating.

Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO Plc, Africa’s leading financial services group, today announced the launch of Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that gives customers instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring customers can stay connected when it matters most.
In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. It can mean missed opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the very moment when funds are tight, and options are limited.

With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from ₦100 and up to ₦10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.
For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.
