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 […]

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 […]
