Last update: 12 hours ago

U-17 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers: Nigeria’s Flamingos edged Benin Republic’s Amazons 3-2 in the first leg at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, with Romaine Gandonou scoring early, Queen Joseph equalising, and Ifeanyi Kindness netting the winner as the tie heads to Lomé next weekend. Higher Education Funding: University of Benin launched a N100 billion Trust Development Fund to back infrastructure, research, digital transformation and entrepreneurship through alumni and private support. Diplomacy: Angola and Benin began political consultations in Cotonou to deepen cooperation, including trade and air transport, while Qatar’s foreign ministerial call with Benin’s Corinne Amori Brunet focused on expanding bilateral ties and regional stability. Culture & Heritage: Switzerland returned Benin artefacts to the Oba of Benin, marking another step in the long-running restitution of colonial-era looted treasures. Security Update (Edo): Edo police said 38 kidnappers were arrested and 32 victims rescued in June, including cases where abductors allegedly “fell asleep” during forced movement. Energy & Power: Reports say electricity distribution firms lost over 1.13 million customers amid unreliable supply and rising costs, even as metering efforts continue.
