New NYSC orientation camp to be built

The project, which will be executed by 21 contractors, is scheduled for completion within six months.
According to Iliya, the new camp will serve as a modern facility to accommodate corps members and enhance the overall experience of national service in the state.

ADC chairmanship crisis haunts Adamawa chapter
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a leadership dispute engulfed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa state, pitting loyalists of Babachir Lawal and Aisha Binani against each other in a fierce battle for the party’s state chairmanship.
Lawal backs the Sadiq Dasin‑led faction, which he insisted is the only legitimate leadership of the party in Adamawa. Meanwhile, the opposing camp, backed by Binani, supports Saidu Komsiri’s group, calling Lawal’s claim to zonal backing “untrue.”
