Court Stops Nigerian Govt From Deregistering Youth Council NYCN

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Nigerian government to halt its plan to deregister the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN). The order stops the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Ministry of Youth Development from withdrawing the council's certificate of registration until a legal dispute is resolved. The case was filed by the NYCN's President, Amb. Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, after the Ministry announced the council's deregistration on October 7th, despite his recent re-election. Justice B. F. M. Nyako gave the order on October 15, 2025, directing all parties to "maintain the status quo." This means the NYCN will continue to operate as normal for now, and its leadership remains recognized. The court has instructed the defendants—the CAC and the Youth Ministry—to be formally notified of the lawsuit. The case has been adjourned to October 28, 2025, […]

Wike Condemns Police, Vows Law After Demolishing Illegal Estate

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly criticized the Nigerian Police Force for defying urban planning laws, leading to the demolition of its own multi-million naira housing estate. The illegal estate, located in the Gudu district of Abuja, was built directly under high-tension power lines and on land reserved for a future bridge. The FCT Administration demolished the nearly-completed project on Thursday after the police developers ignored multiple warnings and continued construction without approval. During a visit to the site, a visibly concerned Wike described the situation as "unfortunate" and a clear public safety risk. He emphasized that no institution is above the law. "The development control said no. There’s no way they would grant approval... They asked them to stop, they refused to stop," Wike stated. He confirmed that police officers had arrested FCT […]

Nigerian Oil Regulator Rejects New Decommissioning Commission

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has officially opposed a bill to create a new agency for decommissioning oil and gas facilities. The bill, which proposes the National Commission for Decommissioning of Oil and Gas Installations (NC-DOGI), was debated at a public hearing in Abuja. The NUPRC argued that the new commission is unnecessary and would duplicate existing efforts. The House Committee Chairman, Rep. Ado Doguwa, acknowledged that decommissioning old oil facilities is a major challenge for Nigeria. He stated that these abandoned sites have serious environmental, economic, and social impacts on host communities. However, the NUPRC responded that the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) of 2021 already gives it and another agency, the Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), the full responsibility for decommissioning. In a submitted memo, the NUPRC stated that creating a new body would go […]

Nigerian Leaders Reject US Senator’s Insurgency Sponsorship Claim

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri, alongside a US former mayor and a top Islamic leader, has strongly rejected US Senator Ted Cruz's allegation that the Nigerian government sponsors Boko Haram insurgency. At a press conference in Abuja, Omokri described the claim as "false, unfair, and lacking any credible evidence."
