Tinubu orders N1.5tr payout to local contractors, sets up payment panel

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the payment of N1.5 trillion owed to local contractors and set up a high level inter ministerial panel to tackle long standing delays in settling verified debts. The decision was taken at Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting after the President was briefed on the scale of outstanding obligations.​ Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga said Tinubu was visibly unhappy that contractors had been left unpaid and demanded a “one stop” solution to the problem. Director General of the Bureau of Public Procurement, Dr Adebowale Adedokun, had earlier presented details of the backlog, prompting the President to constitute a special committee to clear the arrears and propose a sustainable funding plan.​ The committee includes Finance and Economy Minister Wale Edun, Budget and Economic Planning Minister Atiku Bagudu, Works Minister Dave Umahi, Education Minister Olatunji Alausa, Housing Minister […]

Ndume hails Tinubu on security, urges northern govs to emulate Zulum

Former Senate Leader Ali Ndume has praised President Bola Tinubu’s approach to tackling insecurity, saying recent military gains show that his strategies are beginning to yield results. He noted that coordinated operations by the armed forces and other security agencies have led to the killing and arrest of bandits and terrorists across several northern states in recent weeks.​ Ndume singled out Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum for special commendation, describing him as a model for other northern governors. He said Zulum’s constant presence in rural communities, investment in local security outfits and support for the military have greatly complemented federal efforts against insurgents.​ The senator urged other northern governors to adopt a more hands on style similar to Zulum’s by regularly visiting troubled areas, supporting security agencies and addressing the root causes of violence. He argued that stronger cooperation between […]

Five Tinubu ambassadorial nominees under scrutiny over past controversies

As the Senate begins screening President Bola Tinubu’s 65 ambassadorial nominees, at least five candidates are drawing intense scrutiny over past corruption probes, audit reports and inflammatory public statements, raising questions about their suitability to represent Nigeria abroad.​ Opposition parties, civil society groups and critics accuse the President of using key diplomatic postings to reward loyalists and controversial figures, particularly faulting the inclusion of former INEC chairman Mahmood Yakubu and several politically exposed nominees.​ Among those flagged is ex National Intelligence Agency Director General Ayodele Oke, who was previously linked to the 2017 Ikoyi cash haul and faced money laundering charges over $43m, £27,800 and N23.8m recovered from a Lagos apartment, as well as a withdrawn EFCC case over $289m allegedly taken from NNPC accounts for “covert operations”.​ Another is retired Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas, former Sole Administrator of […]

Security emergency: Army freezes retirement of officers

The Nigerian Army has temporarily suspended statutory and voluntary retirements for selected categories of officers following the nationwide security emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu.​ The move comes after over 600 mass abduction cases were recorded in November alone, including the kidnapping of more than 300 students in Niger State, 38 worshippers in Kwara and 25 students in Kebbi, prompting the President to order expanded recruitment and large scale deployments.​ In an internal memo dated December 3 and signed by Maj Gen E. I. Okoro on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, the Army said the freeze is meant to retain manpower, experience and operational capacity as the Armed Forces expand under the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service Officers 2024, which allows service extensions in the interest of the military.​ The suspension applies to officers who have failed […]

Nigeria leads continental push to cut cancer deaths

The Federal Government has called for stronger Pan African collaboration to tackle the continent’s growing cancer burden, warning that cancer now kills more Africans each year than HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.​ Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr Iziaq Salako, made the call in Luxor, Egypt, while addressing delegates at the Africa Oncology Collaboration and Innovation Forum, organised with Egyptian oncology institutions, African networks and development partners.​ Citing GLOBOCAN 2022 data, he said Africa recorded 1.18 million new cancer cases and 763,843 deaths, describing this as an unacceptable burden that demands coordinated continental action.​ Salako noted that Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa account for the highest cancer numbers in Africa, with Nigeria alone responsible for over 10.5 per cent of the continent’s total cancer burden, driven by lifestyle changes, ageing, late diagnosis, weak screening and gaps in […]

President Bola Tinubu has nominated former Chief of Naval Staff Ibok-Ete Ibas, ex Chief of Army Staff Abdulrahman Dambazau and former Chief of Defence Staff Lucky Irabor’s successor, Leo Irabor’s predecessor, General Martin Luther Agwai Gambari, as non-career ambassadors for Nigeria.​ The president transmitted the list of nominees to the Senate in a letter read during Thursday’s plenary, asking the upper chamber to screen and confirm them for appointment as ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary.​ Tinubu said the nominations were made in line with constitutional powers and the need to further strengthen Nigeria’s representation and diplomatic engagement with strategic partner countries around the world.​ The Senate has referred the names to its Committee on Foreign Affairs, which is expected to conduct screening and report back to the full chamber for consideration and possible confirmation.​

Trump’s Moves on Nigeria Driven by Oil, Says Bakare

Pastor Tunde Bakare has claimed that President Donald Trump’s decision to list Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and speak of Christian genocide is tied to a strategic push for Nigeria’s oil and other key assets. Speaking during a State of the Nation Address in Lagos, he said the Trump administration sees Nigeria’s oil wealth, mineral resources, real estate and role in emerging technologies as central to its foreign and economic agenda.​ Bakare said he believed Trump’s interest in Nigeria was confirmed by a vision he had shortly after Trump’s 2024 election victory, in which the US leader arrived in Lagos dressed in traditional Arab clothing and declared, “We are here now.” He interpreted this as a sign of deep economic and geopolitical interest linked to Middle East politics, oil and gas, property and Nigeria’s growing technology ecosystem, with […]

 Bandits Rampage Across Kogi, Kano, Sokoto, Kwara

Bandits have launched fresh attacks across four Nigerian states, abducting worshippers, a monarch, a bride and her bridal party, and other residents, while killing at least one woman and demanding huge ransoms. The coordinated wave of violence in Kogi, Kano, Sokoto and Kwara has renewed public anger over worsening insecurity and perceived gaps in government response.​ In Kogi State, gunmen stormed a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Ejiba, Yagba West Local Government Area, during a service, firing shots and forcing worshippers to flee in panic. The pastor, known as Orlando, his wife and several congregants were taken away, though the exact number of abducted persons remains unclear.​ Kogi’s Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, said state authorities and security agencies had intensified a manhunt for the attackers and promised that all abducted worshippers would be rescued alive.
