iPhone 17 Pro: Apple is sticking with its signature camera layout and skipping any horizontal bump. Expect a part-aluminum, part-glass rear, a slightly thicker body for better battery life, and an A19 Pro chip paired with 12GB RAM. If you’re weighing an upgrade, focus on battery and speed improvements rather than a major camera redesign.

3MTT Programme: The presidency launched the Three Million Tech Talents plan to create three million jobs for youths by 2025, supporting President Tinubu’s push for two million digital jobs in the same window. Training and roles will center on software development, data analytics and cybersecurity. If you’re a young professional, prioritize learning coding, data skills, or basic cyber hygiene to make yourself more hireable.

Kuda app sign-in guide: The Kuda app supports three secure login methods — biometric (fingerprint or face), password, and QR code. Use biometric where available for speed and security, keep a strong unique password as backup, and treat QR logins like temporary access keys: scan only from trusted screens and never share QR codes.

Quick tips you can use today

Thinking of a new phone? Don’t buy based on looks alone. Compare real battery tests, storage options, and the chip’s actual performance for your apps. For the iPhone 17 Pro, that A19 Pro + 12GB combo matters if you multitask or game a lot.

Looking for tech jobs? Focus on skill depth, not just certificates. Build one real project — a simple app, a data dashboard, or a mini security audit — and show it on GitHub or a portfolio. Programs like 3MTT will favor people who can prove they’ve built something practical.

Securing your accounts: enable biometrics where possible, use a password manager to generate strong passwords, and treat QR-based logins as one-time codes. If you lose a device, revoke sessions from the app or service immediately.
