Zelensky to meet Trump in Florida to push 20 point Ukraine peace plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet US President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday to work on a plan aimed at ending the war with Russia. The talks at Trump’s Mar a Lago residence will focus on a revised 20 point peace proposal that Zelensky says is “90% ready.”​ The meeting comes after a fresh wave of Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and other cities, which Zelensky described as Moscow’s answer to intensified US brokered peace efforts. Power and heating were knocked out in parts of the capital during the strikes.​ Zelensky has told journalists he plans to raise the fate of the contested Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, as well as the future of the Russian occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and broader security guarantees for Ukraine. He is also expected to push for firm commitments […]

Putin unmoved on Ukraine as Trump faces test over Zelenskyy peace plan

US President Donald Trump has linked Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s upcoming visit to Mar a Lago to his own approval of a proposed Ukraine peace plan, telling reporters that the Ukrainian leader “doesn’t have anything until I approve it.” Zelenskyy has described the joint US–Ukraine framework as “90% ready,” but Trump has so far refused to fully endorse it.​ The current 20 point plan was redrafted in Kyiv after a leaked 28 point version drew heavy backlash from Ukraine and some European allies, who said it read like a Russian wish list that pushed Kyiv toward capitulation. Zelenskyy has since held talks with Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and his son in law Jared Kushner to prepare for a face to face meeting in Florida.​ Any potential breakthrough still hinges on Moscow, where reaction has been muted. Russian officials have offered only cautious, […]

Jimoh Ibrahim: modern sovereignty rests on cooperation, not isolation

Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, who represents Ondo South and is a scholar of modern war studies, says no country today enjoys absolute sovereignty and that contemporary security threats demand collaboration and multilateral engagement. In a statement issued in Igbotako, Ondo State, he defended President Bola Tinubu’s reliance on international partnerships to tackle Nigeria’s insecurity as consistent with global democratic practice.​ Ibrahim cited the United States’ response to the September 11, 2001 attacks to argue that even the world’s most powerful states depend on allies. He recalled that Operation Enduring Freedom involved extensive support from countries such as the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia and New Zealand through troops, aircraft, naval assets and intelligence sharing.​ He said transnational threats like terrorism, cybercrime and pandemics are borderless and cannot be contained by one nation acting alone. If absolute sovereignty were truly […]

Expert urges FG to adopt AI to transform public service

Data scientist Gbolahan Temilorun has called on the Federal Government to make Artificial Intelligence a core part of ongoing public service reforms, arguing that it can boost efficiency, transparency and citizen engagement across ministries and agencies. He said rising public expectations, rapid population growth and limited resources mean Nigeria must embrace smarter ways of governing or risk falling behind countries already modernising with AI.​ Temilorun explained that AI refers to computer systems capable of tasks such as decision making, pattern recognition and language processing, which can help governments respond faster and allocate resources more effectively. When embedded in public service delivery, he noted, AI can reduce delays, improve accountability and cut back on manual, fragmented processes that slow down service to citizens.​ One immediate use case he cited is intelligent digital reporting platforms that allow citizens to report damaged roads, […]

Taraba Assembly denies Speaker shared N1,000 Christmas gift to constituents

The Taraba State House of Assembly and the Zing Watch Group have denied reports that Speaker John Bonzena gave just N1,000 each to constituents as a Christmas gift.

Instead, they alleged the Speaker personally handed out N1,000 per person, prompting criticism online and in local media.​ In separate statements on Saturday, both the Assembly and Zing Watch Group clarified that the N1,000 gesture was meant for children and young ladies living around Bonzena’s Jalingo residence, not visiting constituents. They explained that the Speaker’s main Christmas event for constituents was […]

The Southeast Renewed Hope Agenda has praised President Bola Tinubu for what it calls deliberate and commendable inclusion of young people in his cabinet. National Coordinator Belusomchukwu Enwere spoke in Enugu during the group’s Christmas food and palliatives outreach.​ Enwere said it is heart warming to see Nigerians under 40 actively involved in the administration, arguing that the old notion of youths as “leaders of tomorrow” is giving way to a reality where they now occupy positions of responsibility.
