 Niger State Warns Residents of Flood Risk from Dam Release

The Niger State Government has issued an urgent warning to residents living near the River Niger and River Kaduna to relocate to safer ground. This is due to the controlled release of water from four major hydroelectric dams: Kainji, Shiroro, Zungeru, and Jebba. The Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA) stated that the dams are releasing thousands of gallons of water per minute. This will likely cause the rivers to overflow and flood surrounding communities. The Director-General of NSEMA, Abdullahi Baba-Arah, confirmed that flooding has already begun in 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs), damaging houses, farmlands, and roads. He also warned that the ongoing rainy season could bring violent windstorms and advised people not to stand under trees during rain. This warning comes after a major flood in Mokwa LGA in May 2025 that killed over 200 people. The government […]

Lagos Denies Ethnic Bias in Trade Fair Complex Demolition

The Lagos State Government has denied allegations that its recent demolition of structures at the Trade Fair Complex was targeted at a specific ethnic group. The State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Olumide Oluyinka, stated that the action was purely to enforce urban planning laws and ensure safety. He explained that numerous shops and buildings within the complex were constructed without government approval and violated safety standards. “The fact is that we just have to do our work. There is nothing ethnic here; it is purely technical,” Oluyinka said during a television interview. The Commissioner revealed that traders and the complex management had been given multiple notices before the demolition. He reported that government officials were harassed and even detained for hours on two separate occasions when they tried to issue these warnings. He also blamed the complex […]

Pastor Arrested for Alleged Rape of Sisters in Enugu

A 63-year-old pastor in Enugu State has been arrested and charged with the rape of two sisters, aged 16 and 19. The suspect, Luke Eze, is the pastor of City of Hope Ministry in the Oghe community. According to police spokesperson Daniel Ndukwe, the arrest followed a report by the victims' parent. Police investigations revealed that Pastor Eze lured the 16-year-old to his church for a "deliverance session." There, he allegedly forced her to perform a strange ritual, gave her a drugged liquid that made her unconscious, and then raped her. When the younger sister did not return home, the 19-year-old went to the church to look for her. The pastor reportedly subjected her to the same process, drugging and raping her as well. Both victims woke up the next afternoon, disoriented and naked, with physical evidence of the assault. […]

Nigeria Launches Landmark ISO Standard to Bolster Anti-Fraud Framework

Nigeria has unveiled a groundbreaking anti-fraud framework with the official launch of the ISO 37003:2025 Fraud Control Management Systems standard, in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI). The landmark initiative, coordinated by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), was launched in Abuja by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, represented by Jachinma Agu, deputy director of reforms. Oduwole described the standard as more than just another regulation, but a “collective resolve to shield Nigeria’s economy from fraud — a hidden tax on development.” “Fraud increases the cost of doing business, erodes investor confidence, stifles innovation, and undermines public trust,” she said. According to the minister, ISO 37003:2025 equips organisations to identify fraud risks, apply proportionate controls, detect illicit activities, and respond swiftly to incidents. She urged both government agencies and private firms to adopt the […]

Dollar to Naira Exchange Rate Today, October 1, 2025 — Parallel and Official Market Update

The Nigerian naira posted mixed moves on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, with slight gains in the parallel market offset by mild weakness in the official foreign exchange window. Parallel Market (Black Market) ₦1,500/$1 — naira strengthened from ₦1,505/$1 earlier in the week. ₦2,075/£1 — pound sterling rate. ₦1,665/€1 — euro rate. Traders linked the recovery to improved dollar inflows from diaspora remittances, independent supply channels, and seasonal trade receipts. However, demand pressures remain elevated, as corporates, students, and importers still depend heavily on the street market. Official Market (NFEM) ₦1,478/$1 — down slightly from ₦1,480.15 the prior day. ₦2,030.50/£1 — pound sterling rate. ₦1,620.45/€1 — euro rate. The official market remained cushioned by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) interventions, helping moderate volatility.

‘We’re Racing Against Time’: Full Text of President Tinubu’s 65th Independence Day Speech

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday addressed Nigerians to mark the country’s 65th Independence anniversary, delivering a wide-ranging speech that reflected on the nation’s past, outlined his administration’s economic and social reforms, and offered a message of hope for the future. Tinubu recalled the sacrifices of Nigeria’s founding fathers — including Herbert Macaulay, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti — who envisioned a strong, prosperous, and united Nigeria. He noted that, despite challenges such as civil war, dictatorship, and political crises, the country had made significant progress in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic growth since 1960. The president stressed that his administration inherited a near-collapsed economy but chose the “path of reform” over “business as usual.” He highlighted key policy moves, including ending fuel subsidies, unifying foreign exchange rates, and investing in infrastructure, agriculture, and social programmes.
