Reps Warn Vendors Against Using Toxic Chemicals in Frozen Foods

The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the alleged use of toxic and cancer-causing chemicals to preserve frozen foods sold in Nigerian markets. The decision followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by Hon. Deacon Chike Okafor (APC, Imo) during plenary, titled “Need to Investigate the Alleged Use of Harmful Chemicals as Preservatives for Frozen Foods in Nigeria.” Presenting the motion, Okafor expressed concern over reports that some vendors use industrial and embalming substances such as formalin, sodium hydroxide, and carbide to preserve perishable food items like fish, meat, prawns, and shrimps.

The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has called on Nigerians to actively document their history and achievements to prevent others from writing it for them.

CAN Accuses Presidency of Distorting Its Stance on Christian Killings

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has publicly accused the Presidency of misrepresenting its position on the killings of Christians in the country, leading to a dispute after a meeting meant to foster dialogue. CAN stated that it did not, at any point, dismiss the violence as a "so-called Christian genocide," contrary to a press release from the President's media aide, Daniel Bwala. The association insists that the persistent, organized attacks on Christian communities in Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt amount to a "Christian genocide." CAN expressed deep disappointment, stating that the Presidency's report was "completely false and grossly unfair." They clarified that their position remains unchanged and that the government's portrayal trivializes the pain of the victims. The Christian body is now calling on the Federal Government and security agencies to act with urgency and transparency to halt […]

Kaduna Tertiary Institution Workers Suspend Month-Long Strike

Striking workers at Kaduna State-owned tertiary institutions have suspended their month-long industrial action after Governor Uba Sani approved a new salary structure. The agreement was reached during a meeting between the governor and the Joint Union of Tertiary Institutions (JUTIKS), facilitated by the state's chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The key outcome is the approval and immediate implementation of 70% of the 2024 CONPCASS/CONTEDISS salary structure for both academic and non-academic staff. The government also approved a 65-year retirement age for staff. The unions, which began the strike on September 30th, have expressed appreciation for the governor's "listening leadership" and commitment to workers' welfare. With this development, academic activities are expected to resume in the affected institutions.

Reps Drop Legal Move, Opt to Mediate Dangote Refinery Labour Dispute

The House of Representatives has decided to mediate the labour dispute between unions and the Dangote Refinery, abandoning a more confrontational legal approach. This follows a heated debate over a motion that sought to use the NEPZA Act to shield the refinery from union activities, arguing it is a strategic national asset in a Free Trade Zone. The motion's sponsors claimed recent strikes disrupted production and violated laws that exempt such zones from standard labour rules. However, other lawmakers cautioned against taking sides without a proper investigation. They argued that the parliament must hear from both the labour unions and the Dangote Group before making a decision. After intense discussions, the House rejected the motion to enforce the NEPZA Act. Instead, it unanimously adopted a resolution mandating its leadership, led by the Speaker, to personally mediate between the two parties […]

Presidency Seeks Sanction for Nnamdi Kanu’s Protesting Lawyer

The Presidency has called for sanctions against one of Nnamdi Kanu's lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor, for participating in a protest demanding his client's release. Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, made the call on social media. He criticized Ejimakor for joining the #FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja, which was organized by activist Omoyele Sowore. Onanuga argued that the lawyer's action is unethical because Kanu's case is still before a court. He stated that the principle of sub judice—which restricts public discussion of ongoing court cases—should prevent a lawyer from engaging in such public demonstrations. He urged the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and other legal disciplinary bodies to investigate Ejimakor's conduct and impose appropriate sanctions. The Presidency believes the lawyer should focus on building a legal defense instead of protesting.
