Nigeria and UN Sign Pact to Improve Elections and Stability

Nigeria and the United Nations have signed a new Regional Partnership for Democracy, aimed at strengthening elections, political stability, and democratic institutions in West Africa. The agreement was announced in Abuja, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, highlighting Nigeria’s commitment to building a stable and people-centered democracy. The partnership is designed to help African nations overcome challenges such as weak institutions, low citizen participation, and political violence. Despite national and regional reforms, issues like flawed elections and unconstitutional government changes continue in several countries. The new pact seeks to address these problems by promoting democracy rooted in African values. Minister Tuggar described the agreement as part of President Bola Tinubu’s vision for boosting democracy on the continent. The Regional Partnership for Democracy Secretariat will operate from Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while a technical team will be based […]

ASUU Warns Universities May Shut Down Over Stalled Talks

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has warned it may begin a nationwide strike if ongoing negotiations with the Federal Government do not yield results soon. This warning comes as talks over academic staff salaries, promotion arrears, and withheld payments have stalled. ASUU officials said lecturers have been on the same salary for 16 years, noting that inflation and the rising cost of living have made conditions very difficult. They rejected the government’s proposed salary increment, describing it as inadequate to address brain drain and improve working conditions. The union also criticized the government’s slow pace in resolving issues, including unpaid wage awards, promotion arrears since 2017, and partial payment of third-party deductions. ASUU argued that the challenge is political will, not lack of funds, pointing to increased government revenue in recent years. Union leaders urged traditional rulers, civil society, […]

Police Use Teargas to Disperse Factions at PDP Headquarters

There was confusion at the Peoples Democratic Party national headquarters in Abuja after police used teargas to disperse supporters of rival factions. The incident happened on Tuesday as two rival groups were set to hold separate meetings at the party’s Wadata Plaza. One group was loyal to Nyesom Wike, while the other supported the newly formed National Working Committee led by Kabiru Turaki. Tensions rose when Samuel Anyanwu, secretary of the Wike-aligned bloc, arrived with supporters for Board of Trustees and National Executive Committee meetings. Supporters from both sides exchanged heated words, and some engaged in scuffles. As the situation grew tense, police ordered everyone to leave the premises, including party officials. The standoff escalated when officers fired several teargas canisters, sending politicians, party members, staff, and journalists running for safety. People caught in the stampede choked and shielded their […]

Wike’s Faction Takes Control of PDP Headquarters

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party loyal to Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has taken over the party’s national secretariat at Wadata Plaza in Abuja. The takeover happened ahead of multiple scheduled meetings by various groups within the PDP. The Taminu Turaki-led faction, which recently held a controversial convention in Ibadan, planned to meet at the secretariat in the morning. Simultaneously, the Abdulrahman-led group summoned emergency meetings of the National Executive Committee and Board of Trustees at the same location. Abdulrahman Mohammed, the factional National Chairman, was seen at the secretariat. Heavy security, including police, civil defence, and state security agents, was present around the premises to maintain order and prevent any disturbances. Protesters against Turaki’s faction appeared outside the secretariat, displaying signs and dancing as meetings began inside. The suspended National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, […]

Dangote Refinery Says Price Cut Prompted Reduction in Pump Prices

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has clarified that the recent reduction in pump prices by oil marketers was driven primarily by its own cut in PMS gantry and coastal prices—not by a reversal of the Federal Government’s 15% import tariff. In a statement, the refinery described reports linking the price adjustment to government policy as “false, misleading, and inconsistent with market dynamics.” On November 6, Dangote cut its PMS gantry price from ₦877 to ₦828 per litre (down 5.6%) and its coastal price from ₦854 to ₦806 per litre. These changes, implemented ahead of wider market adjustments, were publicly announced across leading media outlets. Dangote emphasized its role in ending seasonal fuel scarcity, citing repeated price reductions, absorption of logistics costs, and a long-standing commitment to nationwide price uniformity. The refinery also condemned the practice of importing substandard fuel, which it said […]

2026 Budget Delays Spark Fiscal Spending Concern, Uncertainty

Delays in finalizing Nigeria’s 2026 federal budget and the Medium Term Expenditure and Fiscal Strategy Paper (MTEF/FSP) have heightened market anxiety and cast uncertainty over fiscal spending. With less than two months to the new fiscal year, the Federal Executive Council has yet to approve the budget for National Assembly submission, while the Senate demands comprehensive reports before considering any new proposal. The hold-up, driven by the need to adjust economic frameworks for falling oil prices and missed production targets, has created a ripple effect: MDAs (Ministries, Departments, and Agencies) face worsening funding crises, critical programs remain suspended, and market participants brace for unpredictable government spending. States such as Bayelsa, Cross River, Ekiti, and Osun are moving independently with their own appropriation bills, reflecting deepening uncertainty and divergence in national and subnational fiscal timelines. Analysts warn that ongoing budget delays […]

US Congress Launches Sweeping Investigation into Nigeria’s Alleged Christian Genocide

The United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa will convene a public hearing on November 20, 2025, to investigate allegations of Christian genocide in Nigeria and review President Donald Trump’s move to redesignate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC). This label, pending Senate approval, could authorize sanctions against Nigerian officials implicated in religious repression and restrict certain US-Nigeria partnerships. Chaired by Representative Chris Smith, the session features panels of senior US State Department officials and Nigerian faith leaders, including Bishop Wilfred Anagbe of Makurdi Catholic Diocese. Testimonies will address rising attacks on Christian communities, mass displacement, and killings attributed to Islamist militants and armed groups. President Tinubu has firmly rejected the genocide characterization, asserting Nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom, while US lawmakers weigh options ranging from humanitarian aid to sanctions and potential military action. The investigation was […]
