Syria has received a total lifting of the sanctions from the European Union. Donald Trump made the announcement as Syria’s new government prepares to rebuild the nation after Donald Trump previously said that the US would also lift sanctions.
Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, has been requested by the South-East Caucus of the 10th House of Representatives due to the technical glitch found in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exam.
Additionally, it demanded that the entire examination be completely canceled and a new start date for the nationwide exercise.
The lawmakers referred to the outcome of the exam as a “national shame” in a statement signed by the caucus leader, Igariwey Iduma Enwo.
They urged the immediate suspension of those in the JAMB’s digital operations and examination logistics in response.
UPDATED: JAMB Registrar Fights Tears, Apologises For Errors In 2025 UTME
The JAMB registrar is portrayed as a good man, but then leadership has to have consequences. We therefore urge Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB’s Registrar, to do the necessary by stepping down in order to allow for a thorough investigation and remediation of this national embarrassment.
We anticipate no less than that in any civilized democracy.
During a press briefing on May 14, Oloyede acknowledged that errors had an impact on candidates’ performance at the country’s 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, which was held at various locations throughout the country.
As Oloyede wiped the tears from his eyes with a white handkerchief, he said, “We are human and we are not perfect. It is our culture.”
Following widespread complaints of technical issues, unusually low scores, and alleged irregularities in the questions and answers during the exercise, he also announced that about 379, 997 candidates would retake the test.
157 out of the 887 centers were affected by a technical glitch, according to JAMB, which led to the candidates’ general poor performance in all other areas.
However, the lawmakers from the South-East claimed that “JAMB’s so-called “score distortions” were having an immediate impact on the five southeastern states they represent, “with no exception”.
They claim that the situation “has clearly shaken the trust and confidence of students and families across the country” due to “a catastrophic and catastrophic institutional failure.”
The lawmakers also argued that making amends for the 2025 UTME examination’s implications was insufficient.
The tainted and flawed results of the UTME exam, according to them, “have clearly stripped and denied them of any “equal and adequate educational opportunities” for the thousands of students across the five South Eastern states of Nigeria.”

The heartwarming meaning behind Peppa Pig’s new baby sister has been revealed after Mummy Pig gave birth to her third child on Tuesday morning. The Peppa Pig universe has grown a little bigger with the arrival of another baby girl, as Mummy Pig welcomed a new piglet into her family.
The happy news was shared on Good Morning Britain, where it was announced that the newborn, named Evie, was delivered at 5:34 AM. Fans of the beloved animated family have been following the pregnancy journey closely ever since Mummy Pig stunned viewers back in February, making the surprise announcement live on Good Morning Britain that she was expecting again.
Fans squealed with delight when it was revealed a young girl was arriving at a spectacular gender reveal party at London’s Battersea Power Station last month, which raised new levels of excitement.
Mummy Pig, who already shares Peppa and George with Daddy Pig, has now discovered the sweet meaning of Evie’s name. The devoted mother-of-three named her son after her late aunt. Peppa stated in a video on Good Morning Britain that “Daddy Pig has just shared these images with me of her brand-new baby sister Evie, who is dubbed “Mummy Pig’s Aunt Evie.”
Mummy Pig claimed in a letter to Grazia last month that she had a number of boy names on her sleeve but wasn’t yet committed to a girl one. We have a lot of names to choose from. She admitted to telling the publication that there were “too many.”
“I’m not sure Peter, Percy, or Patrick Pig really work as girls’ names because knowing it’s a girl has narrowed our options down a little.” However, the decision is now too difficult. We’ll just have the perfect name when she comes here and searches for Daddy Pig and me. When Peppa and George were born, we did that.
For those wondering where baby Evie made her grand entrance – the Peppa Pig family spared no expense. Mummy Pig welcomed her third child at the Lindo Wing in London – the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.
A single night at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington costs £5, 900, while premium deluxe packages cost £7, 500.
Big brother George and big sister Peppa are said to be “over the moon” at home and counting the days until they can snuggle up to their new sibling. Mummy and Daddy Pig, the proud parents, said they are “looking forward to many happy snorts and sleepless nights.”
And attendees won’t have to wait long to participate in the event themselves. Peppa Meets the Baby, a brand-new movie special, will be available in over 2,600 theaters in 19 nations on May 30. Ten brand-new episodes will be a part of the hour-long musical event, following Peppa and George as they prepare for the arrival of their baby sister.
Ahead of the big screen release, the gender reveal episode premiered on the Peppa Pig Tales YouTube channel on May 3, giving fans an early look at the moment that had everyone squealing with excitement.
Peppa Pig has grown to be a global phenomenon since its 2004 debut, appearing on television in 180 different countries, being translated into 40 different languages, and creating a billion-dollar book, toy, and theme park empire.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs will be returning to court today, with his ex Cassie Ventura’s mum Regina Ventura, a male escort and Combs’ former personal chef set to be called to the stand. Witness David James, who gave his testimony on Monday, will be returning.
The 55-year-old faces a number of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was arrested in September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest and a number of bail requests have been rejected.
Singer Dawn Richard, who was part of the MTV show Making The Band that was produced by Diddy, appeared in the witness box on Monday. Cassie’s former friend Kerry Morgan also took to the stand on Monday.
Today’s testimony is set to offer jurors a deeper glimpse into the extravagant world Sean Combs shared with Cassie Ventura.
Following further questioning of former assistant David James, prosecutors plan to call three additional witnesses: Sharay Hayes, Regina Ventura, and Jourdan Atkinson.
Hayes, an exotic dancer known professionally as “The Punisher,” is expected to provide insight into the more hedonistic side of Combs’ lifestyle. Regina Ventura, Cassie’s mother, is also set to testify, as is Atkinson, who once served as a personal chef for the music mogul.
As proceedings in Sean Combs’ high-profile trial enter their seventh day, the courtroom is expected to pick up where it left off—with continued questioning of David James, the music mogul’s former personal assistant.
James took the stand yesterday, delivering emotional and detailed testimony about his two years working closely with Combs. His account painted a vivid picture of life behind the scenes, offering insights into both the highs and lows of Combs’ relationship with Cassie Ventura.
Combs’ former assistant David James told the court yesterday that Cassie confided in him during a trip to Miami with Combs.
David testified Cassie told him: “Man, this lifestyle is crazy,” and he agreed.
“Cassie, if it’s so crazy, why don’t you just leave?” he asked her.
“I can’t get out,” she said, according to the witness. “Mr. Combs oversees so much of my life.”
The US government has confirmed that a number of witnesses will be called today. They include a male escort, Combs’ former personal chef and Cassie Ventura’s mother Regina Ventura.
Witness David James, who took to the stand on Monday, will also be returning today to continue his testimony.
Rapper and producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 55, will return to court today to face a number of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Britain’s Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle has warmly updated her fans about her emotional journey after a six-year absence from the limelight. The beloved Scottish vocalist, 64, captured hearts worldwide on the hit ITV show in 2009 with her breathtaking performance of “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Misérables. Since her meteoric rise to fame, Susan has sold an impressive 25 million records, leaving an indelible imprint on the music world. Despite her immense success, recent years have seen Susan face considerable challenges.
The vocal powerhouse has previously been candid regarding her health concerns. In 2016, Susan disclosed her two-stone weight loss following her diagnosis with Type 2 diabetes and confessed: “I needed to stop eating sweeties and cakes. It’s the bane of my life.”
The subsequent year brought further trials as Susan experienced a stroke in 2022, and conceded she had to battle through the aftermath of this harrowing ordeal. Speaking to What’s on Scotland, Susan shared: “It’s taken me three years and it’s been hard – I’m not going to pretend otherwise, but it’s made me determined to keep going.”
Embracing her road to recovery, Susan eventually resumed vocal training once she felt sufficiently recovered, expressing enthusiasm for what lies ahead. Fans were also thrilled this week as she hinted at the prospect of new tunes on the horizon.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Susan Boyle shared: “Today was wonderful, emotional and everything in between. I made my return to the recording studio for the first time in six years, something I was told I might never achieve again.
“But here we are, in my happy place! I want to thank my manager, Geraldine, for being my absolute rock through everything and for helping me get back to where I belong. A million thanks.”
Following her touching post, which has since garnered thousands of likes, fans have flooded the comments section expressing their joy at her musical comeback and her rejuvenated health.
One enthused fan expressed: “So happy for you Susan. Your voice is amazing. You are magical when you sing. Thank you for bringing your voice back into the world.”
Another excitedly chimed in with: “We are very happy for your return. We have been waiting for years for your return.”
A third eagerly said: “About time! My withdrawals were getting too much! Can’t wait!”
Adding to the collective positivity, a fourth admirer wrote: “Happy day indeed, for all of us who love and find comfort in your voice.”
Despite not clinching the title on Britain’s Got Talent, Susan’s extraordinary journey began over 15 years ago when she moved billions with her angelic voice, turning her audition into an internet sensation and sparking a whirlwind of international acclaim.
Although widely expected to capture the coveted top spot on the talent show and perform for royalty, she finished as the runner-up, losing out to dance crew Diversity in what became a much-talked-about finale.
Despite her phenomenal success, Susan has always stayed grounded. The singer’s journey is one of the most successful stories to emerge from the show, and fans are excited about her return to music.
Since her rise to fame, it’s estimated that Susan’s career has netted her a staggering £22million. She has released several albums over the years, all contributing to her immense success.
