Shettima says Borno mosque attack will not shake Nigeria’s security resolve

Vice President Kashim Shettima has condemned the bomb attack that killed about five people and injured several others at a mosque in Gamboru Market, Maiduguri, Borno State, calling it a despicable assault on innocent citizens and national peace. In a statement issued on Thursday by his media aide, Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered an immediate boost in security operations in Borno to prevent further attacks and ensure those behind the bombing are arrested.

The Vice President warned that the Federal Government will not tolerate any attempt to undermine the peace and security of Nigeria and stressed that security agencies are working around the clock to bring the attackers to […]

FG unveils new rules for online pharmacy services

The Federal Government has moved to tighten control of online medicine sales with the launch of a National Electronic Pharmacy Policy and Strategic Implementation Plan. Officials say the policy is designed to regulate electronic pharmacy services, curb unsafe drug sales on digital platforms and expand access to quality assured medicines.​ Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Pate, said the rise of digital platforms has transformed many sectors but left the pharmaceutical space fragmented, with limited oversight of online drug vendors. He explained that the new framework aims to modernise healthcare delivery so that Nigerians can get safe, affordable medicines regardless of where they live.​ According to Pate, the e pharmacy policy sets out a clear and enforceable framework for all electronic pharmacy activities in Nigeria. It establishes licensing and accreditation standards for digital pharmacy platforms, enables real […]

Radda tells Nigerians not to blame governors alone for hardship

Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has urged Nigerians to stop blaming state governors alone for the country’s worsening economic hardship. He argued that the Federal Government takes the largest share of national revenue and therefore bears major responsibility for how resources are used.​ Radda noted that under the current revenue sharing formula, the Federal Government receives about 52 percent of funds from the Federation Account, while states and local governments share the rest. He said this leaves subnational governments struggling to meet rising demands for salaries, infrastructure and social services amid inflation and currency depreciation.​ The governor pointed out that recent court rulings directing that local government funds be paid directly to councils will further limit the ability of states to intervene in grassroots projects. He warned that citizens should not expect miracles from governors when most of the […]

FG insists it did not alter new tax laws

The Federal Government has denied allegations that it secretly altered provisions of the newly signed tax reform laws before they were published in the official gazette. The Presidency said the laws now in force reflect what President Bola Tinubu signed and that any claims of changes made outside due process are unfounded.​ Presidential officials stressed that neither the President nor any authorised aide instructed anyone to tamper with the content of the tax bills passed by the National Assembly. They maintained that the executive respected the outcome of legislative debates and followed the standard procedure from passage to presidential assent and gazetting.​ Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, urged critics to allow the House of Representatives ad hoc committee to complete its investigation into the alleged discrepancies. He said any genuine errors or inconsistencies […]

NAF denies espionage claims over C-130 landing in Burkina Faso

The Nigerian Air Force has rejected reports that its C-130 transport aircraft currently in Burkina Faso was engaged in espionage or was forced to land by Burkinabe authorities. In a detailed clarification, NAF described the claims circulating online as false, misleading and capable of inflaming public sentiment and straining regional relations.​ According to the statement, the C-130 was on a duly approved ferry flight from Lagos to Portugal for scheduled depot maintenance when the crew observed a technical issue on 8 December 2025. In line with standard aviation safety procedures, the aircraft diverted to the nearest suitable airfield, Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso, where it made a precautionary landing.​ NAF stressed that the flight had no operational tasking and was not deployed for any combat, intelligence, surveillance or signals collection mission. Officials said the aircraft carried all required documentation and clearances, […]

More Money For Govt Yet Nigerians Get Poorer

A new analysis has shown that funds shared by the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee to the three tiers of government have surged sharply in the last four years, yet living conditions for most Nigerians keep deteriorating. The report revealed that total FAAC allocations jumped from about N9.18 trillion in 2022 to N10.9 trillion in 2023 and N15.26 trillion in 2024, an increase of roughly 66 percent within two years.​ Despite this rise in public revenue, poverty indicators remain grim, with more households struggling to afford food, transport, health care and housing. Rising inflation, weak job growth and the impact of subsidy removal have combined to wipe out any potential benefits of higher government earnings for ordinary citizens.​ Data in the report show that states and local governments have also benefited significantly from the higher inflows, receiving record amounts from FAAC […]

Supreme Court Restores Death Sentence For Maryam Sanda

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has affirmed the death sentence imposed on Maryam Sanda for the murder of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, and voided the federal government’s decision that had reduced her punishment to 12 years in prison. The court ruled that the executive lacked the constitutional power to alter a final judgment of the Supreme Court in a capital case through prerogative of mercy.​ In its judgment delivered in Abuja on Friday, the apex court held that the president’s approval of a reduced sentence amounted to an unlawful interference with judicial powers. The justices maintained that once the Supreme Court has given a final decision in a criminal matter, especially one involving the death penalty, that verdict can only be revisited through the court’s own lawful procedures and not by executive action.​ The court restated that Sanda’s conviction for […]

 Democracy survives as FG explains failed Benin coup

The Federal Government has described how democracy in Benin Republic survived an attempted coup, explaining that swift regional and international actions helped foil the plot. Officials said the coup attempt was quickly contained, allowing President Patrice Talon’s government to remain in control.​ According to the government’s account, loyal security forces moved fast to block the mutineers from seizing key state institutions. Diplomatic pressure from neighbouring countries and regional bodies also discouraged wider support for the takeover.​ The Federal Government stressed that the failure of the coup is a victory for constitutional rule in West Africa. It warned that repeated attempts to topple elected governments threaten regional stability and economic development.​ Authorities called on citizens and political actors across the region to reject military interventions in politics. They also urged stronger cooperation among West African states to prevent future unconstitutional changes […]
