Students: News, tips and opportunities across Africa

You want straight-up news that matters to student life — admissions, fees, health, campus leadership, jobs and safety. This tag gathers timely stories that actually affect students across Africa so you can act fast, plan ahead, and avoid surprises.

What you’ll find under the "students" tag

Short updates and in-depth pieces on campus leadership, policy changes, stipend updates, recruitment drives, transport and health rules. Look here for stories like the University of Nairobi VC vacancy, the NYSC monthly stipend rise to N77,000, and KNH’s new SHA admission rules. You’ll also see job and recruitment alerts, like the FG paramilitary openings and warnings about application scams.

How to use this tag and get value

Scan headlines for time-sensitive items first — application windows, stipend changes, and policy deadlines. Open any story for details, then bookmark or save it. Use the site search to combine tags (for example: students + scholarships) to narrow results. Subscribe to alerts or our newsletter to get the biggest updates by email.

When you see recruitment or scholarship posts, check dates and official portals immediately. For example, some recruitment windows list exact application periods; missing those dates can cost you an opportunity. Also, if a job ad asks for fees or private bank transfers, treat it as suspicious and verify with official channels.

Practical steps you can take right now: set calendar reminders for application deadlines, screenshot official documents, and save contact details for university offices. If a story affects campus services — like transport or hospital rules — share it with classmates and student reps so everyone knows how to react.

Want to be heard? Many stories affect students directly. Use the comments or send tips to our newsroom if your campus has breaking news. Student unions and groups can ask us to highlight petitions, job fairs, or safety concerns. We often follow up on tips that come from students on the ground.

Connectivity and tech news matter too. Deals between mobile networks or changes in data access can affect online study and exams. Keep an eye on telecom stories under this tag to know when your area gets better coverage or cheaper data.

Sports and culture feed student life as much as policy does. You’ll find match reports and campus sports updates alongside hard news. Those pieces help track campus morale, scholarship athletes, and events that matter if you’re balancing sport and study.
