Ribadu warns terror sponsors of decisive action

National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu has warned that any individuals or groups attempting to spread terror or destabilise Nigeria will face swift and decisive action from the security forces.​ Ribadu gave the warning while addressing stakeholders at a security forum in Abuja, where he emphasised that the government would not tolerate efforts to incite violence, promote extremism or undermine national stability.​ He said the security architecture was being strengthened to track and dismantle networks behind terrorism, banditry and communal violence, including those who fund, shelter or provide logistical support to armed groups.​ The NSA urged community, religious and political leaders to resist being used to spread hate or division, calling instead for cooperation with security agencies through timely sharing of information and support for law enforcement operations.​ Ribadu also assured Nigerians that the government is committed to protecting lives and […]

No more ransom, no talks with terrorists, says Defence Minister

Defence Minister General Christopher Musa has declared that there should be no more negotiations or ransom payments to terrorists in Nigeria, insisting that such actions only strengthen criminal groups.​ Speaking during his ministerial screening and in comments highlighted by the Ministry of Defence, Musa warned that paying ransom gives terrorists money and time to regroup, re-arm and plan fresh attacks, noting that some communities that negotiated were later attacked again.​ He urged all levels of government to adopt a united position against negotiating with terrorists or bandits, stressing that ransom payments must stop if Nigeria is serious about ending kidnappings and insurgency.​ Musa also pointed out that Nigeria’s banking and digital payment systems can be used more effectively to trace ransom money and disrupt terrorist financing networks when supported by a unified national database and stronger security coordination.​ The minister […]

I’ve Activated Strategy to Secure Nnamdi Kanu’s Release — Gov Otti

Abia State Governor Alex Otti announced he has set into motion a strategy to secure the release of convicted Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu. Otti shared that he previously initiated efforts during Kanu’s trial and remains in active communication with “the highest authorities” on political options for Kanu’s freedom. The governor, speaking through his media aide, emphasized dialogue, collaboration with other well-meaning Nigerians, and a peaceful approach. Otti cautioned politicians against exploiting Kanu’s case for personal gain, saying the matter demands compassion and courage from the federal government to resolve permanently. He acknowledged the immense hurt caused by Kanu’s detention in Abia and the wider South-East, recalling his consistent position against violent responses and calling for a return to diplomatic, non-violent problem-solving.

Why FG Hasn’t Prosecuted Terrorism Financiers – Minister

The Federal Government has not prosecuted suspected terrorism financiers because such cases require extensive, delicate investigations that cannot be rushed, according to Minister of Information Mohammed Idris. Speaking on Channels TV, Idris said the process is not as simple as having a list and moving suspects to court; solid evidence must first be gathered. Public pressure remains high, with critics linking delays to government complicity and growing insecurity. While some suspects were identified under past administrations, no high-profile cases have materialized in court, fueling distrust. Idris insisted progress is being made—highlighting that since May 2023, over 13,500 criminals have been neutralized, and 17,000 apprehended—with many already being tried or sentenced for security-related offenses. He called for patience and partnership with both domestic and foreign allies, emphasizing the complexity and diversity of Nigeria’s security crisis and ongoing diplomatic efforts to clarify […]

ASUU Rejects Federal Government’s Proposed Salary Increment

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Benin Zone has rejected the salary increment recently proposed by the Federal Government, calling it insufficient to address the union’s concerns or to reverse the ongoing brain drain in Nigerian universities. Zonal Coordinator Prof. Monday Lewis Igbafen stated that the offer was “a mere drop in the ocean” compared to what’s needed. ASUU stressed the need for government to tackle all outstanding issues, including fully renegotiating the 2009 FGN/ASUU agreement and truly addressing related matters. Igbafen criticized the half-hearted approach of the government, noting that Nigerian university lecturers are still being paid at a level fixed back in 2009, despite economic changes and salary hikes in other sectors. He concluded that the union would not accept piecemeal solutions, urging authorities to take university reform seriously to ensure stable and quality education in Nigeria.

ASUU Warns Universities May Shut Down Over Stalled Talks

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has warned it may begin a nationwide strike if ongoing negotiations with the Federal Government do not yield results soon. This warning comes as talks over academic staff salaries, promotion arrears, and withheld payments have stalled. ASUU officials said lecturers have been on the same salary for 16 years, noting that inflation and the rising cost of living have made conditions very difficult. They rejected the government’s proposed salary increment, describing it as inadequate to address brain drain and improve working conditions. The union also criticized the government’s slow pace in resolving issues, including unpaid wage awards, promotion arrears since 2017, and partial payment of third-party deductions. ASUU argued that the challenge is political will, not lack of funds, pointing to increased government revenue in recent years. Union leaders urged traditional rulers, civil society, […]

NARD faults FG’s claims on doctors’ welfare, says “facts must replace fiction”

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has faulted the recent statement by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare titled “FG Reaffirms Commitment to Doctors’ Welfare and Industrial Harmony in the Health Sector,” describing it as misleading and disconnected from the realities faced by medical professionals across Nigeria. In a rejoinder issued on Monday, NARD accused the ministry of presenting an “optimistic narrative” that obscures the true challenges confronting doctors. “We do not intend to join issues with the Ministry, but for the sake of transparency, truth, and the health of Nigerians, it is imperative to set the records straight, particularly for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who may have been misinformed about the true nature of our grievances,” the association said. According to NARD, the union has 19 outstanding demands repeatedly presented to the Federal Government. It described […]
