Wike Condemns Police, Vows Law After Demolishing Illegal Estate

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly criticized the Nigerian Police Force for defying urban planning laws, leading to the demolition of its own multi-million naira housing estate. The illegal estate, located in the Gudu district of Abuja, was built directly under high-tension power lines and on land reserved for a future bridge. The FCT Administration demolished the nearly-completed project on Thursday after the police developers ignored multiple warnings and continued construction without approval. During a visit to the site, a visibly concerned Wike described the situation as "unfortunate" and a clear public safety risk. He emphasized that no institution is above the law. "The development control said no. There’s no way they would grant approval... They asked them to stop, they refused to stop," Wike stated. He confirmed that police officers had arrested FCT […]

The President of Commonwealth Sport, Donald Rukare, has praised Nigeria and India for their “dynamic and ambitious” bids to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, marking the centenary edition of the event.

Sirika Denies ₦100bn Nigeria Air Scam, Says Only ₦3bn Released

Former Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika has dismissed claims that the Nigeria Air project under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was a ₦100 billion scam, insisting the initiative was conceived with good intentions and due process. Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Tuesday, Sirika described the reports as misleading. “It is a lie that I spent ₦100 billion. The total budget for the national carrier was ₦5 billion, the total amount released was ₦3 billion, and I left the ministry with over ₦1 billion,” he said. The former minister explained that Nigeria Air was structured as a public-private partnership (PPP) and regulated by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), which participated actively in the process and issued necessary certificates. The controversial project, launched shortly before Buhari left office, has since come under scrutiny, with Sirika facing trial for alleged corruption […]
