Fed Govt sets up panel on 200b gas power rail plan

The Federal Government has set up an inter agency technical committee to review a proposed 200 billion dollar Integrated Gas Power and High Speed Rail Project. The move signals a cautious approach to one of the most ambitious infrastructure proposals in Nigeria’s history. Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume inaugurated the panel in Abuja and asked members to carry out a thorough and professional assessment of the proposal to guide decisions in the national interest. The committee will evaluate a submission by De Sadel Nigeria Limited working with China Liancai Petroleum Investment Holdings Limited for a multi phase project that combines gas development, power generation and transmission, and a 4,000 kilometre high speed rail network. Akume said the size and complexity of the plan require rigorous scrutiny. He stressed that government must be satisfied with its technical […]

Marwa urges stronger intelligence sharing to fight insecurity

Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Buba Marwa has called for closing key intelligence gaps as a central step in tackling Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. He spoke at the Army War College Nigeria Interagency Seminar in Abuja, where he warned that the country faces a complex mix of threats, including insurgency and terrorism in the North East, farmer herder clashes in the North West and North Central, secessionist agitations in the South East, and organised crime and drug trafficking in the South South and South West. Marwa said criminals are becoming more sophisticated, using technology, government systems and cross border networks, and insisted that security can no longer be seen as only a military or police issue. He called for a whole of government and whole of society approach that brings together all security agencies and the public. He […]

Northern youths back NASS on pipeline security deal

Northern youths under the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum have praised the National Assembly joint committee on Petroleum Resources for endorsing the pipeline surveillance contract handled by Tantita Security Services. AYCF president Yerima Shettima said in a statement that the parliament’s decision to dismiss petitions against Tantita and support the continuation and possible expansion of its contract is patriotic and should be commended by all Nigerians. Shettima said the lawmakers showed they understand the realities on the ground, noting that pipeline vandalism has dropped significantly under Tantita’s watch and warning that the issue should not be politicised. He commended the leadership of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources Downstream, chaired by Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, and its Senate counterpart for what he called a transparent and inclusive engagement with stakeholders in the oil and gas sector. According to him, rejecting calls to […]

US pulls some embassy staff from Nigeria over insecurity

In a travel advisory issued on Wednesday, the department urged American citizens to reconsider travelling to Nigeria from April 8 2026 due to crime, terrorism, kidnapping, civil unrest and limited healthcare services.

ADC crisis deepens as David Mark‑led NWC, state chairmen clash over party control

The leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress has worsened as a bloc of state chairmen has openly clashed with the David Mark‑led National Working Committee over control of the party. The 25 chairmen, who say they constitute the core of the party’s National Executive Committee, announced in Abuja that they have collectively assumed interim leadership of the ADC. Their move follows the Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to delist Mark and National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola from its records and to stop recognising any of the contending factions pending a court ruling. INEC’s action, based on a Court of Appeal judgment in the leadership dispute between Mark and Nafiu Bala Gombe, effectively left the party without an officially recognised national chairman. Led by Abia chairman Don Norman Obinna, the state chairmen rejected both the Mark coalition and the Gombe camp, […]

Troops, DSS and volunteers repel Niger bandits’ attack, kill scores

A combined team of security forces and local fighters has repelled a major bandits’ attack in Niger State, killing scores of the assailants after a prolonged gun battle. The operation involved operatives of the Department of State Services, troops of the Armed Forces and community‑based volunteers who were alerted after terrorists stormed rural communities. Security sources said the confrontation began when heavily armed bandits linked to notorious kingpins Dogo Gide and Leyi attacked Chibani village in Munya Local Government Area, killing one resident and injuring a policeman and another villager. The following day, about 200 bandits reportedly advanced on a security base in Kuchi town, also in Munya LGA, prompting a swift counter‑offensive by the joint team. In the firefight that followed, security operatives “neutralised scores” of the attackers, with many others fleeing with gunshot wounds and several of their […]

ADC NEC takes over party administration, appoints interim leadership

The National Executive Council of the African Democratic Congress has announced that it is taking over the administration of the party and putting in place an interim leadership structure. The move follows a prolonged leadership tussle and multiple court cases over who legally controls the ADC ahead of the 2027 elections. At an emergency NEC meeting in Abuja, key stakeholders resolved to sideline the warring factions and mandated a caretaker team to manage the party’s affairs until a national convention is held. Leaders aligned with former interim chairman David Mark and other elders said the step became necessary to stabilise the party and restore confidence among members and aspirants. The interim leadership has been tasked with organising a credible national convention, reconciling aggrieved blocs and ensuring strict adherence to the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act. NEC members also warned […]

IBAN demands apology from Wike over ‘shoot’ remark, threatens boycott

The Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria has demanded a public apology from Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike over his controversial remark about Channels TV anchor Seun Okinbaloye. During a recent live programme, Wike had said that if he could break his TV screen he would “shoot” Okinbaloye over the journalist’s analysis of Nigeria’s democracy, a comment that sparked outrage among media stakeholders. In a statement signed by IBAN chairman Ahmed Ramalan and acting general secretary Fidelis Duker, the association described the minister’s words as inappropriate and capable of being interpreted as a threat or intimidation against journalists. While Wike later clarified that he did not intend physical harm, IBAN said public officials must avoid expressions suggesting violence because they can worsen an already hostile environment for media practitioners who face surveillance, attacks and arbitrary arrests. IBAN has therefore asked […]
