Presidency rejects claim of secret tax law changes

The Presidency has rejected allegations that it secretly altered provisions of Nigeria’s new tax reform laws, insisting that no changes were made outside the proper legal and legislative process. The denial comes as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, opposition parties and several civil society groups demand a halt to implementation and a thorough investigation.​ President Bola Tinubu signed four tax reform bills into law, which together form what the government calls the most far reaching overhaul of Nigeria’s tax system in decades. The new framework, anchored on the Nigeria Revenue Service, includes the Nigeria Tax Act, the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act and the Joint Revenue Board Establishment Act.​ According to the Federal Government, the reforms aim to simplify compliance, broaden the tax base, remove overlapping taxes and […]

South Africa receives distress calls from citizens trapped in Ukraine war

The South African government says it has received pleas for help from 17 citizens who joined mercenary forces fighting in Ukraine’s Donbas region and now want to return home. In a statement on Thursday, the presidency said the men, aged between 20 and 39, had contacted South African authorities seeking assistance to leave the war zone. The war, which began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, has attracted foreign fighters from around the world, including several from African nations. According to the presidency, the South Africans were “lured to join mercenary forces involved in the Ukraine-Russia war under the pretext of lucrative employment contracts.” It did not specify which side they were fighting for. President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered an investigation into how South African citizens were recruited to fight in the conflict. The government reminded citizens that it […]

Presidency refutes report of Tinubu’s planned US visit

The Presidency has denied reports claiming that President Bola Tinubu is set to travel to the United States on Tuesday for a meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance. In a statement shared on Monday via his official X handle, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, described the report as false and misleading. Ajayi clarified that if President Tinubu were to visit the White House, his meeting would be with US President Donald Trump, not the Vice President. He stated, “There’s a Sahara Reporters story that President Tinubu is going to the U.S. on Tuesday to see U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. That story is not true. I can see that the fake news by Sahara has become the basis for some uninformed commentaries since yesterday. If President Tinubu is going to the […]

Tinubu decorates new service chiefs at Presidential Villa

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday decorated Nigeria’s newly appointed service chiefs with their official ranks during a ceremony held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Obasanjo: Why I Rejected El-Rufai as My Successor

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that he once rejected a proposal for Nasir El-Rufai to succeed him as President in 2007. Obasanjo made this disclosure at the Ajibosin Platform Annual Symposium in Abeokuta. He stated that the suggestion was made by former Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka, who was a guest at the event. Interjecting during Chidoka's speech, Obasanjo recalled the proposal. "He didn't mention that when I was leaving government, he was pushing that his friend, El-Rufai, should be brought in as my successor," Obasanjo said. The former president explained that he declined the recommendation because he believed El-Rufai, who served as the FCT Minister at the time, was "not yet mature enough" to lead Nigeria. Obasanjo added that Chidoka later agreed with his assessment. "Many years later, after seeing his performance, he came back to me and said, […]

Tinubu Extends Surveyor-General Adebomehin’s Tenure by Two Years

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a two-year extension for the tenure of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (SGoF), Mr. AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin. According to a statement released by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the extension will take effect from January 5, 2026, following the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency. The decision, the statement noted, was made to enable Adebomehin to complete ongoing reforms in key areas of geospatial data systems and national development planning. “The President expects Mr. Adebomehin to consolidate the reforms within the next two years, focusing on national land management and administration, highways and abutting land infrastructure coordination, reclamation and erosion control programmes, and other related matters of strategic national importance,” Onanuga said. Adebomehin, who was appointed as Surveyor-General in January 2022 by former President Muhammadu Buhari, has […]

CAN Accuses Presidency of Distorting Its Stance on Christian Killings

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has publicly accused the Presidency of misrepresenting its position on the killings of Christians in the country, leading to a dispute after a meeting meant to foster dialogue. CAN stated that it did not, at any point, dismiss the violence as a "so-called Christian genocide," contrary to a press release from the President's media aide, Daniel Bwala. The association insists that the persistent, organized attacks on Christian communities in Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt amount to a "Christian genocide." CAN expressed deep disappointment, stating that the Presidency's report was "completely false and grossly unfair." They clarified that their position remains unchanged and that the government's portrayal trivializes the pain of the victims. The Christian body is now calling on the Federal Government and security agencies to act with urgency and transparency to halt […]

Presidency Seeks Sanction for Nnamdi Kanu’s Protesting Lawyer

The Presidency has called for sanctions against one of Nnamdi Kanu's lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor, for participating in a protest demanding his client's release. Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, made the call on social media. He criticized Ejimakor for joining the #FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja, which was organized by activist Omoyele Sowore. Onanuga argued that the lawyer's action is unethical because Kanu's case is still before a court. He stated that the principle of sub judice—which restricts public discussion of ongoing court cases—should prevent a lawyer from engaging in such public demonstrations. He urged the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and other legal disciplinary bodies to investigate Ejimakor's conduct and impose appropriate sanctions. The Presidency believes the lawyer should focus on building a legal defense instead of protesting.

World’s Oldest Leader Biya Seeks Eighth Term in Cameroon

Paul Biya, the world's oldest head of state at 92, is the favorite to win Cameroon's presidential election on Sunday, extending his 43-year rule with an eighth term. He faces a divided opposition of 11 candidates, though his most credible rival, Maurice Kamto, was barred from running by the courts. Biya's campaign has been low-profile, marked by a rare public appearance this week after a trip to Switzerland fueled speculation about his health. Many young voters, who have known no other leader, express frustration with the high cost of living and lack of opportunities. However, others value his decades of experience. Human rights groups have long condemned Biya's control over the country's institutions and the election process, casting doubt on the vote's fairness. The election takes place amid a deadly separatist conflict in the country's English-speaking regions.

Presidency Rejects World Bank’s Poverty Report on Nigeria

The Nigerian Presidency has rejected a recent World Bank report estimating that 139 million Nigerians are living in poverty, calling the figure "unrealistic." In a statement, President Bola Tinubu's media adviser, Sunday Dare, argued that the World Bank's model uses a global poverty line of $2.15 per day, which, when converted, amounts to nearly ₦100,000 per month. He pointed out that this is higher than Nigeria's new minimum wage of ₦70,000, making the metric an "analytical construct" rather than a true reflection of local realities. The Presidency emphasized that the government is focused on its reform trajectory and social programs, such as expanded cash transfers and infrastructure funds, to drive inclusive growth. It stated that what matters is the direction of the economy, not a static figure based on outdated consumption data. While the World Bank commended Nigeria's bold economic […]
