Tambuwal steps down from Senate race, backs ex-commissioner

Former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has stepped down from the 2027 Sokoto South Senatorial race. The ex-speaker confirmed he would no longer seek re-election to the Senate, despite earlier indications that he would be on the ballot. Tambuwal, who recently resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party and aligned with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has instead thrown his weight behind former commissioner Aminu Bala Bodinga. Bodinga, a long-time ally, served in Tambuwal’s cabinet during his time as governor and is now being positioned as his preferred successor for the Sokoto South seat. In a message shared by his media team, Tambuwal said his decision followed wide consultations with political associates and constituents. He explained that he chose to step aside to allow “fresh energy” to emerge, while still offering guidance and support from behind the scenes. […]

Tinubu: Nigeria attracted $20bn foreign investments this year

President Bola Tinubu has disclosed that Nigeria has attracted around $20bn in foreign investments so far this year. He said the inflows reflect growing investor confidence in his administration’s economic reforms despite global uncertainty. Tinubu highlighted recent commitments by multinational firms and development finance institutions across sectors such as energy, infrastructure, manufacturing and technology. According to him, these pledges are already translating into concrete projects that will create jobs and boost productivity. The President noted that his government’s decision to unify the exchange rate, phase out fuel subsidies and streamline business regulations has sent a strong signal to the international community. He maintained that while the reforms have been painful in the short term, they are necessary to reposition Nigeria for long-term, private sector–driven growth. Tinubu also assured both local and foreign investors that his administration will continue to tackle […]

Dangote exports 1.66bn litres fuel amid US–Iran tensions

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has exported an estimated 1.66 billion litres of refined fuel products in April 2026 as global energy markets reel from the impact of the US–Iran war. The record export volume came as buyers in Africa, Europe and other regions scrambled for alternative supplies amid fears of disruptions to traditional shipping routes in the Middle East. Industry reports show that the refinery, Africa’s largest with a nameplate capacity of 650,000 barrels per day, has ramped up shipments of diesel, petrol and jet fuel in recent months. The April figure alone represents a sharp jump compared to earlier months, with exports of aviation fuel rising to an average of about 160,000 barrels per day at the height of the crisis. Analysts say the surge in exports underscores Dangote’s growing role as a stabilising force in regional fuel supply, helping […]

A U.S.-based Nigerian has pleaded guilty for his role in a sprawling business email compromise scheme that defrauded victims of about $927,000 as part of a wider $215 million global fraud network. The case is one of dozens tied to an international email hacking ring that targeted businesses and individuals in 19 countries, including the United States. According to court documents, the Nigerian defendant admitted to conspiring with others to hijack business email accounts, alter payment instructions and divert funds into accounts they controlled.

Court sentences ex-power minister Saleh Mamman to 75 years over ₦33.8bn fraud

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has sentenced former Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to 75 years in prison after finding him guilty of diverting about ₦33.8 billion in public funds. Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment on Wednesday, convicting Mamman on all 12 counts of money laundering and fraud brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The court held that the EFCC proved beyond reasonable doubt that Mamman diverted funds earmarked for key national power projects, including the Mambilla and Zungeru Hydroelectric Power schemes. Investigators told the court that large sums were moved through contractors and cronies before being traced to the former minister’s personal accounts and assets. Justice Omotosho noted that Mamman personally benefited from the fraud, including the cash payment of 655,700 dollars (about ₦200 million) for a property in Abuja, in […]

Navy busts illegal refinery sites in Rivers

The Nigerian Navy says it has uncovered and dismantled several reactivated illegal refining sites in Rivers State as part of its ongoing crackdown on crude oil theft and illegal bunkering in the Niger Delta. The operation was carried out by personnel of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Pathfinder under Operation DELTA SENTINEL in the Ndoni and surrounding riverine areas of the state. According to a statement issued by the Director of Naval Information, Captain Abiodun Folorunsho, the troops discovered a network of dugout pits, ovens and surface reservoirs used to store products suspected to be illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil and stolen crude. He said the illegal facilities had been reactivated after earlier enforcement actions, prompting the latest raid to permanently disrupt the syndicate’s activities. Folorunsho explained that the operatives successfully deactivated the makeshift refineries and confiscated an estimated 184,000 […]

INEC deadline: Opposition parties rush to submit membership registers
