Senior Lawyer Agbakoba Backs Tinubu’s Removal of Service Chiefs

A prominent lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has publicly supported President Bola Tinubu's decision to replace the country's service chiefs. In an interview on Channels Television, Agbakoba described the president's move as "wise and timely." This endorsement comes amidst public rumors of a suspected coup plot, though the military has denied these claims. President Tinubu announced a major reshuffle in the military's top leadership on Friday. The changes are part of an effort to strengthen Nigeria's security architecture. Agbakoba, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), praised President Tinubu's decisiveness. He contrasted this with the previous administration, stating that former President Muhammadu Buhari was often reluctant to make such tough personnel changes. "You have a president who is prepared to take tough decisions," Agbakoba said. He added that if the coup rumors were true, then replacing the service chiefs […]

Northern Christian group urges US to reconsider Nigeria sanctions

The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) has appealed to the United States government and its lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, to reconsider the move to label Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged Christian persecution. In a statement on Wednesday, the group said that while it acknowledges the reality of Christian killings in parts of northern Nigeria, such a designation could harm ongoing national efforts to promote peace and unity. The NCYP warned that the proposed action, though well-intentioned, might undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives aimed at fostering inclusivity and reconciliation across religious and ethnic lines. The group praised President Tinubu for appointing Christians, especially from northern Nigeria, to key administrative and security positions. According to the NCYP’s National Public Relations Officer, Christian Oda, this demonstrates the president’s commitment to fairness and national unity. “This conviction is […]

Tinubu’s Reforms Deepening Poverty, Says Peter Obi

Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying its much-publicised economic reforms are failing to lift Nigerians out of poverty. Obi’s comments followed a World Bank report released on October 8, 2025, which revealed that 139 million Nigerians now live below the poverty line—an increase from 87 million in 2023. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Obi described the figures as a “heartbreaking reflection” of how poorly the government’s policies have performed. “What this means is that in two years under the watch of the APC regime, over 50 million Nigerians were sent into poverty,” Obi wrote.“This is a heartbreaking reflection of how deeply our nation is failing its citizens.” He expressed concern that instead of treating the report as a wake-up call, the government dismissed it, […]

Nigeria Secures $2bn Shell Gas Investment for HI Field

Nigeria has secured a $2 billion gas investment from global energy giant Shell for the development of the HI Field, a shallow offshore non-associated gas project located in OML 144. This was announced in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, on Tuesday in Abuja. According to the Presidency, the project is expected to produce about 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) from 2028.

US Genocide Debate Tied to FG’s Failure on Insecurity – Hashim

Former presidential candidate and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, has criticised the federal government for what he described as its “shamefully political and dangerously unserious” handling of Nigeria’s worsening insecurity. In a statement released over the weekend, Hashim accused the government of prioritising propaganda and political maneuvering over genuine efforts to protect citizens from terrorists and bandits. “This government treats the blood of innocent Nigerians like a campaign statistic,” he said. “Instead of confronting terrorists and bandits, they issue empty statements and blame imaginary enemies. Governance is not propaganda.” Hashim alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was more focused on gaining political advantage ahead of the 2027 elections than securing the country. “Rather than uniting the nation, the APC is pitching the South against the North,” he added. He linked the recent move by the […]

Local Investors Miss Out on Nigeria’s N4.8trn Non-Oil Boom

Nigeria’s non-oil export sector has seen rapid growth, but local investors are losing out to foreign players—mainly from India, China, Lebanon, and Vietnam—who now dominate the trade. According to reports from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), non-oil export earnings surged to N4.8 trillion in the first half of 2025, a 391% rise from N977 billion in the same period of 2021. NEPC described this growth as evidence of President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.” However, local industry stakeholders say the numbers hide deep challenges. Many argue that the benefits of this diversification are being lost to foreign operators who have stronger financial backing and easier access to funding. Dr. Ojo Ajanaku, President of the National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN), said local exporters are struggling with limited access to loans and high […]
