Reps to ONSA: explain why you ignored alert on PFIPC

The House of Representatives has called on the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) to explain why it allegedly ignored an alert over the controversial Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC). Lawmakers said the issue has raised serious concerns about how the alleged agency appeared in the federal budget despite questions over its legality and existence. The House wants ONSA and other relevant officials to clarify what actions were taken after the warning was reportedly raised. The development is part of a wider probe into the phantom PFIPC, which has drawn public criticism over budget transparency and verification procedures. Lawmakers say they are determined to get to the root of the matter and ensure that such irregularities do not recur in future appropriation exercises.

PFIPC scandal Senate blocks fresh probe

The Senate has declined a fresh probe into the controversy surrounding the purported Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, or PFIPC. Lawmakers said they would wait for the outcome of the ongoing investigation by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, before taking any further action. The matter came up after Senator Suleiman Kawu, who represents Kano South, asked the Senate to investigate how the agency, which the Presidency says does not exist, was included in the 2026 budget with a N1.3 billion allocation. Kawu said the inclusion of the agency in the budget raised serious concerns about the integrity of the budget process and the role of those who approved it. He wanted the Senate to find out who was responsible for inserting the agency into the budget, whether any money had been released, and if any […]

Almajiri commission says projects are constituency interventions

The National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education has defended the controversial projects listed in its 2026 budget. The commission said the projects are constituency interventions and were not meant to replace its core education mandate. It explained that such items are often added during the budget process by lawmakers. The debate began after reports showed that the commission had budgeted billions of naira for road construction and other projects outside its main responsibility. These included roads, solar street lights, ambulances and dental equipment in some states. The commission was created to help reduce the number of out of school children and support Almajiri education. Critics say the new projects do not align with that role and could weaken the agency’s main mission. Supporters of the budget description argue that constituency projects are common in the system and are […]

Senate to fast-track state police bill on resumption

The Nigerian Senate has signalled plans to fast-track the state police bill when lawmakers resume plenary. Senators say the move is part of wider efforts to overhaul the country’s security architecture and respond more effectively to banditry, kidnappings, and terrorism. The proposal seeks to amend the 1999 Constitution to allow both federal and state police structures, moving policing from the Exclusive to the Concurrent Legislative List so states can establish their own forces.instagram+2 Key members of the Senate have indicated that the bill will be prioritised and isolated from other constitutional amendments to speed up its passage once the chamber reconvenes. For the reform to take effect, it will still need two thirds support in both the Senate and House of Representatives, approval by at least 24 state Houses of Assembly, and presidential assent

State police debate advances in Senate

Nigeria’s debate over state police has moved forward after President Bola Tinubu sent a constitutional amendment bill to the Senate. The proposal seeks to create a legal framework for state police as part of wider efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security system. Lawmakers say the plan could help states respond faster to local security challenges. The bill was read in the Senate and referred to the Constitution Review Committee for further work. The committee is expected to examine the proposal and report back to the Senate before any final decision is made. Supporters of state police say the current federal policing structure is no longer enough to handle the country’s growing security problems. They believe giving states more control over policing could improve response time and intelligence gathering. However, the proposal is still subject to more legislative steps. For the bill […]

SERAP demands N110bn refund for luxury cars and unlawful allowances

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has demanded that Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker Tajudeen Abbas refund N110 billion to the public treasury after a Federal High Court in Lagos declared the National Assembly's spending on luxury SUVs and unlawful allowances illegal. The court ruling on the 5th of May came in a suit SERAP filed in 2023, challenging the 10th Assembly's plan to spend N40 billion on 465 exotic and bulletproof cars and N70 billion as holiday allowances for new lawmakers. Justice Yellim Bogoro of the Federal High Court held that the N110 billion spend violated section 57(4) of the Public Procurement Act, 2007, the Code of Conduct for Public Officers, and lawmakers' constitutional oath of office. The judgment found that the spending breached the principle that public funds must be used judiciously, especially at a time when […]

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 […]

State Police: Joint Lawmakers–Executive Panel Concludes Work

The joint panel made up of federal lawmakers and representatives of the executive has concluded its work on a framework to establish state police in Nigeria, bringing the long-running agitation for decentralised policing a step closer to reality. According to presidency officials, the committee’s report will form the basis of a constitutional amendment bill and enabling laws that will be transmitted to the National Assembly in the coming weeks, as part of ongoing consultations by the Federal Government aimed at developing a workable model for state police. Earlier this year, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, reiterated the Federal Government’s “strong commitment” to the establishment of state police, saying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is determined to see the reform become a reality once the necessary legal framework is secured. “It is the desire of President Bola Ahmed […]

13 Reps Switch Parties as Chinda Resigns as Minority Leader

Thirteen members of the House of Representatives have switched political parties in a major political realignment that has reshaped the party composition in the 10th National Assembly. The mass defection comes as Ahmad Chinda, the former Minority Leader of the House, has resigned from his position, marking a significant shift in the legislative landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections. Chinda's resignation as Minority Leader has triggered speculation about the future direction of opposition politics in the National Assembly. The representatives who switched parties represent various constituencies across Nigeria and their defections have altered the balance of power between the ruling party and the opposition in the lower chamber of the National Assembly. The move has been described as one of the largest party-switching incidents in recent Nigerian political history. Political analysts say the defections reflect growing fluidity in Nigeria's […]
