FG to evacuate over 742 Nigerians from South Africa before June 30

The Federal Government has announced plans to evacuate over 742 Nigerians from South Africa before June 30, following renewed xenophobic attacks and rising anti-migrant sentiment in parts of the country. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the evacuation exercise is already underway, with the first batch of 258 Nigerians successfully airlifted from South Africa to Lagos as part of the voluntary repatriation scheme. The move comes amid reports of fresh attacks and threats against foreign nationals, with activists in South Africa issuing a June 30 deadline for undocumented migrants to leave the country, prompting Nigeria to accelerate its evacuation plans. The government earlier approved at least five evacuation flights, operated by Air Peace, after more than 500 Nigerians were screened and cleared to return home, with the screening window extended to accommodate more applicants. Officials say about 1,000 Nigerians […]

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.

₦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 […]
