 PENGASSAN Fires Back at VP Shettima Over Dangote Dispute

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) has responded to Vice President Kashim Shettima's criticism of its recent strike, asserting it would take the same action again to protect its members. The dispute began when PENGASSAN launched a strike last week, alleging Dangote Refinery sacked 800 workers for joining the union. The strike was suspended after government intervention, but Vice President Shettima, speaking at an economic summit, condemned the action. He described Aliko Dangote as an "institution" and stated that "Nigeria is greater than PENGASSAN," warning against holding the nation "to ransom." In a sharp rebuttal, PENGASSAN President Festus Osifo stated, "Of course the nation is bigger than PENGASSAN, the way it’s bigger than Dangote and the Presidency." He affirmed that the union has a mandate to protect its members' jobs and would deploy the same strike action […]

NUPENG Brands Oshiomhole ‘Judas Iscariot’ of Workers

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has launched a scathing attack on Senator Adams Oshiomhole, calling him the "Judas Iscariot of Nigerian trade unionism." The union's strong condemnation follows Oshiomhole's comments criticizing a strike by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) at the Dangote Refinery. NUPENG accused the former labour leader of betraying the working class and defending "corporate oppression." In a lengthy statement, NUPENG asserted that Oshiomhole's stance against the workers' right to unionize is a "reprehensible attack" on fundamental rights and a distortion of labour laws. They challenged him to point to any law that supports his views. As a result of his comments, NUPENG has declared Senator Oshiomhole persona non grata, meaning they will no longer engage with him or attend events where he is featured. The union has pledged its […]

 NDLEA Busts Syndicate Behind UK-Bound Cocaine Shipments

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has smashed two major drug cartels responsible for shipping cocaine to the United Kingdom. In a series of intelligence-led operations in Lagos, the agency arrested five suspects, including the alleged ringleader, Alhaji Hammed Taofeek Ode. The syndicate was known for concealing drugs in everyday items like body cream containers, stainless steel cups, and hair gel. The breakthrough came on September 16th when NDLEA operatives at the Lagos airport intercepted 13.4kg of cocaine hidden in cocoa butter body cream containers. This led to the arrest of a cargo agent and, after weeks of surveillance, the capture of the main suspect, Ode. In related busts, the agency foiled five other UK-bound shipments and arrested additional suspects, seizing more cocaine and other illicit drugs like cannabis, tramadol, and codeine syrup in operations across several states.

Nigeria’s $34bn Lithium Wealth Mined Mainly by Foreign Firms

Nigeria's vast lithium deposits, valued at over $34 billion, are primarily being exploited by foreign companies, sidelining local investors from the booming global market. Lithium is a critical mineral for electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy storage, with the global industry generating an estimated $92 billion in annual revenue. Despite significant deposits across states like Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Kogi, Chinese firms like Avatar and Ganfeng have taken the lead, establishing large processing facilities and exporting the raw mineral. Industry experts warn that Nigeria is missing out on major economic benefits. They cite a lack of local capacity, high investment risks, insecurity in mining regions, and insufficient government support as key reasons why Nigerian investors are not participating significantly. The Miners Association of Nigeria has urged the government to provide incentives for local investors and ensure foreign companies are not allowed […]

Media Condemns DSS Arrest of Two Journalists in Jos

The arrest of two journalists by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Jos has been widely condemned as an attack on press freedom. The journalists, Ruth Marcus and Keshia Jang from Jay 101.9 FM, were detained while covering the funeral of the APC National Chairman's mother. They had filmed a minor incident where security personnel initially blocked a church leader from entering the venue. In a strong statement, the radio station's management described the arrest as "illegal, undemocratic, and unacceptable." They emphasized that the journalists were simply doing their job by documenting an event of public interest. The station warned that intimidating the press is a dangerous trend that undermines democracy. They vowed not to be silenced and called on the public and international community to stand for press freedom and the rule of law. The journalists were later […]

Bandits Siege Nine Kwara LGAs, Demand Food and Drinks as Ransom

Nine local government areas in Kwara State are under a severe siege by bandits, with kidnappers now demanding food, drinks, and money as ransom for abducted victims. The bandits, who are reportedly herdsmen from Zamfara and Sokoto states, have infiltrated the northern and southern parts of Kwara through Niger State. They operate from thick forests where they have settled for nearly 30 years. Recent attacks have been brutal. In the latest incident in Oke-Ode, at least 11 forest guards and a community leader were killed. The state government has disputed claims that vigilantes were disarmed before the attack. A former state NLC chairman, Emmanuel Ayeoribe, confirmed the new ransom demands, stating, "Today, aside the millions they demand, they have added drinks, foods, etc to their list." This has placed immense financial pressure on families. In response, the state government has […]

Confusion Over Court Ruling on Police Tinted Glass Permit

Confusion surrounds a recent Federal High Court ruling on the Nigerian Police's tinted glass permit policy. While a human rights lawyer announced the court had ordered the police to "maintain status quo," the police have countered this claim. The dispute began when lawyer Inibehe Effiong shared parts of a court order from Warri, which he said restrained the police from enforcing the new permit requirement. However, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated the police had not been officially served and highlighted a different part of the same order. That section, Point 8, shows the court refused the applicant's three main requests for an interim injunction to stop the policy's enforcement entirely. This has led to conflicting public interpretations of the legal situation. While the police clarify their position, the ruling has been welcomed by many who see […]
