EDITOR’S NOTE

When our confirmed cover personality for this week suddenly backed out at the last minute, we were left high and dry. I called an emergency meeting, and we decided to do something on education, seeing as it was International Day of Education on the 24th. Interestingly, last year, we had Ekua Abudu on the cover to mark the day, and we discussed our educational system in Nigeria in detail. This year, however, we are taking the route of accessibility of education for everyone, whether the children have a disability or are children with special needs. We have to be educated about this so we don’t treat them differently from other children. Also, the government needs to pay more attention to public schools where children are cramped in one classroom with hardly enough seats. The learning conditions are pretty poor in public schools. Luckily, some good Samaritans have taken it upon themselves to provide free education for children in poor neighbourhoods. We profile some of them. Read the cover story on pages 8 to 10.

This week, we are introducing a new column by our online editor, Ntianu Obiora. It makes for quite an interesting read. You’ll find that on page 12.

Our beauty page highlights non-surgical options for youthful skin. You will find treatments like ultherapy, laser skin resurfacing, and much more. I’ll let you read about them on page 13.

Page 14, our wellness page, discusses the importance of sleep while shedding some light on how to get quality sleep. This should come in handy if you are struggling with insomnia.

As usual, click on the instructions underneath the QR code on page 16 to access the playlist.

Until next week, enjoy your read.
