Five meaningful ways to mark Nigeria’s 27th Democracy Day on June 12

Democracy Day is a national public holiday in Nigeria celebrated annually on June 12 to commemorate the restoration of democracy in 1999. Until 2018, it was celebrated on May 29, but President Muhammadu Buhari changed the date to honor Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (MKO Abiola), whose courage, resilience, and commitment to the will of people remain enduring symbols of Nigeria's democratic journey. To meaningfully mark Nigeria's 27th Democracy Day Celebration on June 12, 2026, citizens can participate in five important activities. First, offer prayers for the nation alongside millions of Nigerians as part of the day's commemoration activities. This spiritual reflection helps acknowledge the sacrifices of democracy heroes and celebrates the strength of democratic institutions. Second, reflect on the sacrifices of heroes like MKO Abiola, whose usurped mandate and the annulled 1993 presidential election many still regard as Nigeria's […]

Amotekun funding and welfare challenges threaten South West Nigeria regional security outfit

Amotekun, the regional security outfit for South West Nigeria, is facing serious challenges that threaten its ability to maintain security in the region. Five years after its establishment, the organization is struggling with funding constraints, inadequate equipment, poor welfare conditions, and weak coordination among the six South Western states. Security experts have identified legal limitations as one of Amotekun's biggest operational challenges. Unlike the police and military, Amotekun operatives are barred from carrying certain weapons and face restrictions on access to critical resources. The outfit was founded on January 9, 2020, in Ibadan, Oyo State, as the first regional security initiative initiated by a geopolitical zone in Nigeria. The Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Operation Amotekun, which means Leopard or Cheetah in Yoruba, covers all six states of South Western Nigeria but the Federal Government declared it an illegal operation […]

FG, evacuees slam South Africa over xenophobia, documentation claims

The Federal Government and Nigerian evacuees from South Africa have faulted claims by the South African authorities that many of those repatriated lacked proper documentation, insisting Pretoria frustrated efforts to renew their papers. Some returnees accused the South African government of deliberately delaying or denying renewal of work permits and other legal documents to create grounds to label them undocumented and justify a clampdown. The first batch of over 200 Nigerians fleeing renewed xenophobic attacks arrived in Lagos aboard an Air Peace flight fully funded by the Federal Government, with officials from NEMA, Immigration, NiDCOM and FAAN on ground for profiling and support. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, more than 1,000 Nigerians have been screened and cleared for evacuation after a citizen‑led group in South Africa ordered all undocumented foreign nationals to leave by June 30, heightening fears […]

FG Clears Over 1,240 Contractors Under N100m Claims

The federal government has cleared over 1,240 contractors with verified claims under N100 million, marking a major step in addressing the government's payment backlog to indigenous construction firms. The clearance follows sustained protests by the All Indigenous Contractors Association of Nigeria (AICAN) over an estimated debt backlog for capital projects executed during recent fiscal years. The Federal Ministry of Finance maintains that payments were only authorised following a rigorous multi-stage verification process to ensure claims were genuine and properly documented. The clearance exercise includes contractors across various sectors including infrastructure development, housing projects,道路 construction, water supply systems, and electricity generation facilities. Minister of State for Finance Dr. Doris Uzoka Anite confirmed the disbursement in a statement issued after sustained protests at the Federal Ministry of Finance headquarters by indigenous firms. The payment aims to address a portion of the estimated […]

₦75,000 COVID Grant Rumour Causes Stir in Jigawa

False rumours about a ₦75,000 COVID-19 grant have caused widespread confusion and excitement across Jigawa State, as residents scrambled to verify claims that the federal government was disbursing the amount to beneficiaries in the state. The rumour appears to have emerged from confusion over earlier government interventions, including the Jigawa State Covid-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (J-Cares) Program, under which over 4,200 youth and women entrepreneurs received ₦212 million in grants. Under that initiative, each beneficiary received ₦50,000, not ₦75,000. The National Coordinator of the Nigeria COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES), Dr. Abdulkareem Obaje, has disclosed that the programme has positively impacted the lives of over 70 million Nigerians across the country. Jigawa State is one of the frontline states, having drawn about $9.6 million under NG-CARES out of the expected $30 million. In September 2024, 12,600 […]
