Northern business icon and statesman, Isiaku Ibrahim, passes away at 88

Elder statesman and prominent businessman, Alhaji Isiaku Ibrahim, has died at the age of 88. The Nasarawa-born politician passed away in the early hours of Saturday at a private hospital in Abuja. A close associate of late President Shehu Shagari, Ibrahim played a pivotal role in the formation of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN), the ruling party during the Second Republic. He was widely respected for his contributions to politics, business, and sports development. In the 1970s, Ibrahim founded the Mighty Jets Football Club of Jos, becoming the first Nigerian to hire a foreign coach from Brazil to lead a local team.

Confirming his death, his nephew, Dr. […]

ManCo to assume control of Presidential Fertilizer Initiative from NSIA in November

The Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI) will come under the full management of MOFI Management Company Limited (ManCo) from November 2025, marking the end of nearly a decade of oversight by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA). Ahead of the transition, the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI), which owns ManCo, and NSIA held a joint review session to assess the reforms implemented, evaluate partnerships, and outline priorities for the programme’s next phase. Under ManCo’s leadership, the PFI is expected to introduce wet-blend technology, expand distribution to underserved regions, and deepen private sector involvement — steps aimed at strengthening food security and boosting agricultural productivity. Since taking charge in 2016, NSIA has transformed Nigeria’s fertilizer sector. The number of blending plants grew from just four to over 90 by mid-2025, while more than 128 million bags of NPK fertilizer were delivered to […]

Femi Adebayo mourns Chief Kanran, says ‘Seven Doors’ marked his final performance

Nollywood has been thrown into mourning following the death of veteran actor Olusegun Akinremi, popularly known as Chief Kanran. His last screen appearance was in Femi Adebayo’s yet-to-be-released film, Seven Doors, a coincidence many have described as both symbolic and deeply emotional. In a heartfelt tribute, Adebayo said he never imagined the film’s title, which represents transition and passage, would become a metaphor for Kanran’s final journey. “He played in Seven Doors, and now it feels as though life mirrored art. Nobody thought it would be his last performance. It is painful and shocking,” Adebayo wrote. Chief Kanran passed away on Friday in a Lagos hospital after a brief illness, just days before his 70th birthday. Colleagues recalled his remarkable dedication to the craft, noting that he gave his all on set despite health challenges. “He delivered that role with […]

Phyna Blasts Dangote Group Over Sister’s Accident, Accuses Them of Privacy Violation

Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has called out the Dangote Group after her sister, Ruth Otabor, was badly injured in a truck accident near Auchi Polytechnic on August 13, 2025. Ruth lost a leg following the crash and is receiving treatment at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital. Phyna alleged that company staff visited her sister in the hospital, took photos without the family’s consent, and later posted them online. She said this was disrespectful and questioned why the company referred to her sister as “Mrs. Ruth Otabor” in a public statement. “Who gave you permission to take pictures of my family and post them online? You turned a hospital visit into content? I hope this wasn’t done to my sister. From now on, no cameras will be allowed in any meeting or discussion about this case,” she wrote. Phyna also criticised […]

The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 8 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Ibikunle Ajose, has described the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) as an important national asset that should be protected and supported.

Former Sokoto State Governor and current Senator for Sokoto South, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, received a massive welcome in Sokoto on Friday from supporters across Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara states. Thousands of party members, women’s groups, youth organisations, and loyalists lined the streets, singing solidarity songs and waving banners pledging to take power back from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. Speaking to the crowd, Tambuwal — who led Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign in 2023 — accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government of causing economic hardship, insecurity, and political decline. “In 2023, we warned Nigerians not to vote for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Today, the hardship, hunger, and hopelessness you see prove we were right,” he said. Tambuwal called on Nigerians to unite and remove the APC from power in 2027.“We will not be intimidated or silenced. […]
