Tinubu okays carbon market framework, eyes $3bn yearly inflow by 2030

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the full rollout of Nigeria’s national carbon market framework, a landmark climate policy projected to generate up to $3 billion in annual revenue by 2030 from carbon credits and emissions trading. The move aims to position Nigeria as a leading player in global carbon markets while boosting non oil revenue and supporting the energy transition.​ Under the framework, the Federal Government will establish a national carbon registry, mandate emissions reporting by companies and introduce phased compliance measures aligned with Nigeria’s climate commitments. These measures are tied to interim emissions reduction targets up to 2035 and the long term goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2060.​ To attract investors, the policy provides generous incentives, including tax exemptions on carbon credit earnings for up to 10 years, accelerated capital allowances for low carbon assets and […]

Oil prices tumble after Trump eases concerns over Iran

Oil prices have fallen sharply after US President Donald Trump signalled he may hold off on military action against Iran, easing fears of a sudden disruption to global crude supplies. The pullback comes after a week in which benchmark prices surged on worries that Washington could strike Iran over its deadly crackdown on protesters.​ US West Texas Intermediate crude dropped by more than 1 to 2, losing over 1 per barrel in early Asian trading after Trump said killings in Iran were “stopping” and there was “no plan for executions.” Brent crude, the global benchmark, fell by around 3, slipping back below 65 per barrel after gaining about 11 over the previous five sessions.​ Trump told reporters the US would “watch it and see,” comments that traders interpreted as a sign that an immediate strike on Iran was unlikely. Analysts […]

Senator Natasha breaks silence on FG’s withdrawal of criminal charges

Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has reacted to the Federal Government’s decision to withdraw the criminal charges earlier filed against her over alleged defamation and cyber related offences. The Kogi Central lawmaker said the move vindicates her long standing claims that the case was politically motivated and aimed at silencing her.​ Court documents show that the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation filed a notice of discontinuance on December 12, 2025, effectively ending the case marked FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The charges stemmed from petitions by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello after Natasha alleged during a TV interview that her life was being threatened.​ Senator Natasha thanked Nigerians, civil society groups and her constituents for standing by her throughout the legal battle. She maintained that public office holders must be […]

Suspected Fulani militants unleash mayhem on Delta community

Suspected Fulani militants have reportedly invaded Umeh community in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, unleashing violence on residents and forcing many to flee. Community sources say the attackers have laid siege to the area for days, destroying farmlands and terrorising villagers.​ Local youth leader, Emmanuel Oko, said the militants have been moving with sophisticated weapons, shooting sporadically and preventing farmers from accessing their fields. He warned that the community is on the brink of collapse as people abandon their homes out of fear.​ Residents accuse the armed men of targeting Christian farmers and attempting to seize their ancestral land for grazing. They lament that repeated appeals to security agencies and government officials have not produced a lasting response.​ Community leaders are calling on the Delta State and Federal Governments to urgently deploy troops and law enforcement to […]

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul that Iran’s internal problems must be resolved by Iranians themselves, not imposed from outside.​ Fidan said Ankara does not want instability in neighbouring Iran, even though it recognises there are serious issues within Iranian society and government. He cautioned that attempts by the United States or Israel to use force would likely worsen tensions and trigger wider regional conflict.​​ The minister noted that the current protests in Iran stem from legitimate grievances, but that they are also being exploited by Iran’s external enemies. He said Turkey’s priority is to encourage dialogue and a negotiated understanding between Washington and Tehran, which he described as crucial for regional […]

US immigration officer shoots Venezuelan man in Minneapolis

A US federal immigration officer has shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during an enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, intensifying tensions in a city already on edge over recent immigration raids. City officials confirmed the shooting and urged residents to remain calm, while again calling on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to leave the city and the state.​ According to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE officers tried to stop the man, described as “an illegal alien from Venezuela,” during a targeted traffic operation. Officials say he fled in his vehicle, crashed into another car, then tried to escape on foot before resisting arrest and “violently” attacking an officer.​ DHS said two other people emerged from a nearby apartment and joined the struggle, allegedly hitting the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. The officer then fired what DHS […]

60 years after: Remembering the bloody coup that changed Nigeria forever

Nigeria is marking 60 years since the January 15, 1966 coup that toppled the First Republic and opened the door to decades of military rule. The bloody takeover, led by young officers who claimed to be fighting corruption and political chaos, has remained one of the most disputed turning points in the nation’s history.​ Key political figures, including Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Northern Premier Ahmadu Bello and Western Premier Ladoke Akintola, were killed along with senior military officers. The fact that most of the victims were northern leaders fuelled deep resentment and the perception of an ethnically biased operation, especially in the North.​ The coup was quickly followed by a counter coup in July 1966, massacres in the North and, eventually, the Nigerian Civil War between 1967 and 1970. Analysts say these events shattered trust among regions and ethnic […]
