Omar Harfouch, a Lebanese composer and musician, announced his resignation from the Miss Universe judging panel three days before the pageant.

The Nigeria Prize for Science Goes Unawarded for the Fifth Time For the fifth time in its 21-year history, the Nigeria Prize for Science has gone unawarded. This year’s edition, which received a total of 112 entries, failed to meet the high standards required for the prestigious award. The decision was made by the judging panel after a thorough evaluation process, and it was announced in Lagos by Professor Barth Nnaji, Chairman of the Advisory Board. Professor Nnaji emphasized that this outcome was not taken lightly. He stated that the decision was necessary to preserve the integrity and legacy of Africa’s most significant science prize. “After a rigorous adjudication of the 112 entries received this year, none was found suitable for the Prize.

The Nigeria Prize for Science is more than just an award; it is a platform that recognizes creativity, originality, and scienti...
