FG orders emergency repairs on Bida–Lambata road

The Federal Government has ordered emergency repairs on the dilapidated Bida–Lambata road in Niger State, following sustained complaints from motorists, transporters and residents over persistent gridlock and accidents on the route. The corridor is a major economic artery linking Niger to other parts of the country, but its poor state has long caused hardship for commuters and disrupted movement of goods and farm produce. According to the Ministry of Works, the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has been mobilised to site to begin palliative and emergency intervention works aimed at easing traffic and restoring safer passage. The directive was issued after a stakeholders’ meeting with the National Association of Road Transport Owners and other transport unions, where government officials received fresh reports of stranded vehicles and long queues along the axis. Officials explained that the emergency repairs will focus on […]

FG begins plans to evacuate Nigerians from South Africa over renewed attacks

The Federal Government has begun plans to evacuate Nigerians living in South Africa who wish to return home following renewed fears of attacks targeting foreign nationals. Officials say the move is a precautionary step to safeguard citizens amid rising anti immigrant tensions in several South African cities. According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu, at least 130 Nigerians have so far registered with Nigerian diplomatic missions for voluntary evacuation flights. She disclosed via her X handle that the figure is expected to rise as more people come forward, stressing that Nigerian lives and businesses in South Africa “must not continue to be put at risk.” The latest concerns follow renewed anti foreigner protests and incidents in parts of Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town and KwaZulu Natal.

JUST IN: FG bans honorary degree holders from using ‘Dr’ title

The Federal Government has banned recipients of honorary doctorate degrees from using the title “Dr” before their names in official and public settings. Under the new directive, the “Dr” title is now reserved strictly for holders of earned doctoral degrees and qualified medical doctors. The policy was communicated through fresh guidelines issued by the National Universities Commission as part of wider reforms on the award and use of honorary degrees. The NUC said the move aims to curb abuse of academic titles and protect the integrity of Nigeria’s university system. According to the Commission, honorary degree holders are no longer allowed to prefix their names with “Dr” based on such awards. Instead, they may indicate the honour using appropriate post nominal letters, such as D.Sc (Honoris Causa), after their names where necessary. NUC Executive Secretary Prof. Abdullahi Ribadu warned that […]

FG warns Nigerians on fake diplomatic recruitment scams

The Federal Government has warned Nigerians to beware of fake diplomatic recruitment schemes and fraudulent ambassadorial offers circulating online and offline. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said criminal groups are using fake diplomatic titles, recruitment letters and promises of jobs in foreign missions to defraud and exploit unsuspecting citizens. In a statement issued by the ministry’s spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, the government raised alarm over individuals and organisations falsely parading themselves as ambassadors or diplomatic envoys. He explained that these groups issue bogus appointment letters, demand large fees for supposed diplomatic postings and sometimes provide fake diplomatic passports, identity cards and vehicle number plates. The ministry stressed that only the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has the constitutional power to appoint and accredit ambassadors. It added that no private organisation, association or individual is allowed to confer diplomatic or […]

Fed Govt pushes tech driven risk management for stronger economy

The Federal Government says technology driven risk management is now central to building a more resilient Nigerian economy. Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume made this known at the 2026 National Risk Management Conference in Abuja.

He warned, however, that these tools also introduce new vulnerabilities that must be managed through strong institutions, sound regulation and strategic planning. The SGF called for deliberate investment in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity and research to support […]

Fed Govt says FAAC deductions are lawful not missing funds

The Federal Government has dismissed claims that revenues in the Federation Account are being diverted through illegal deductions. It said all deductions made before sharing funds at the Federation Account Allocation Committee are lawful and backed by existing fiscal rules.​ Minister of State for Finance Taiwo Oyedele explained in a statement that recent public comments were based on a wrong reading of a World Bank analysis. According to him the deductions highlighted in that report are legitimate fiscal obligations not hidden spending or leakages.​ Oyedele said it is misleading to describe the items as waste or missing money.

FG orders seizure of passports from ex Nigerians

The Federal Government has ordered the Nigeria Immigration Service to immediately withdraw and deactivate passports held by Nigerians who have formally renounced their citizenship. Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji Ojo gave the directive to the NIS, targeting people whose renunciation requests have already been approved by the President. This means they can no longer legally hold or use Nigerian passports once the process is completed. His media aide Alao Babatunde said the order is based on Section 29 subsections 1 and 2 of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which states that any Nigerian of full age can renounce citizenship by making a formal declaration, and that the person ceases to be a citizen once the President registers that declaration. Tunji Ojo explained that anyone who has lost Nigerian citizenship is no longer entitled to any sovereign document of the state, […]
