The Federal Government has pledged to raise Nigeria’s milk production from the current 700 million litres a year to meet the national demand of 1.6 billion litres.

APC Chieftain Onjeh Warns Trump Against Military Threat to Nigeria

Comrade Daniel Onjeh, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Chairman of the Governing Board of the Project Development Institute (PRODA), has condemned the recent threat by former US President Donald Trump to launch military action against Nigeria over alleged religious persecution. In a statement released on Sunday, Onjeh described Trump’s comments as “dangerous and unnecessary,” warning that they could inflame tensions and distort Nigeria’s complex security situation. “The statement has alarmed many Nigerians, not because it came from President Trump alone, but because there’s a long-standing perception that some external forces always see Nigeria through the lens of instability,” he said. “That is why many Nigerians do not take this recent statement as a mere expression of concern.” Onjeh acknowledged that insecurity and killings in Nigeria are real and require urgent attention, but rejected the claim […]

Osun Civil Servants Lament 14-Year Delay in Federal Secretariat Project

Federal civil servants in Osun State have expressed frustration over the prolonged delay in completing the federal secretariat project, 14 years after it was first awarded.
