IEEE-HKN Marks 120th Anniversary With Hackathon

Among the many events that marked the IEEE–Eta Kappa Nu (IEEE-HKN) honor society’s 120th anniversary last year was its first international hackathon. Organized by a group of 10 HKN students and led by recent graduate Christian Winingar from the Gamma Theta chapter at Missouri University of Science and Technology, in Rolla, the hackathon required more than seven months of planning. The idea originated from students who attended the society’s 2023 Student Leadership Conference to continue fostering international collaboration among the society’s chapters. “It seemed a natural fit to organize it as a way to celebrate the society’s anniversary,” says Serena Canavero, one of the event’s organizers and the 2025 HKN student governor.

OPINION: Why Igbos Should Support Tinubu’s Re-Election

This is not a call for blind loyalty, but a strategic calculation rooted in long-term regional interest, national unity, and political maturity. Zoning and the Principle of Equity Nigeria’s political architecture, though unwritten, is built on a delicate zoning arrangement. This rotational understanding has helped maintain stability in our diverse federation. Presently, power resides in the South—specifically the Southwest. Cutting Tinubu’s presidency short after four years could destabilize this balance, potentially backfiring when the Southeast’s long-overdue turn arrives. Supporting Tinubu now is not a surrender of ambition—it’s an investment in political goodwill and national credibility. A...

Afenifere issues warning to MURIC leader Akintola, gives reasons

The leadership of the Afenifere group has cautioned the executive Director of the Muslim Rights Concerns (MURIC), Ishaq Akintola and other religious groups against stoking ethnic or religious violence in the Southwest region. The Yoruba socio-political group warned individuals and organisations against making incendiary statements or introducing unsecular practices capable of endangering the lives of people of Ekiti and other states in the Southwest region. In a statement issued by the chairman of its Ekiti state chapter, Gabriel Alonge, the Afenifere group called on the Department of State Services (DSS) and the police to profile and interrogate Akintola and other leaders stoking violence in the region. Alonge cited the comment by Akintola stating that the Senate leader, Opeyemi Bamidele has declared war on Muslims over the demolition of the Mosque in Aramoko Ekiti, Ekiti State. He described the MURIC leader’s...
