FG Reaffirms Commitment To Strengthen Ebola Preparedness In Nigeria

The Federal Government has restated its commitment to enhance Nigeria’s preparedness against the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) and other emerging public health threats through improved coordination, surveillance and public communication.

Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, made the commitment at the first meeting of the Communications Sub-Committee of the Presidential Task Force on Ebola Virus Disease Preparedness and Emerging Public Health Threats in Abuja.

Idris said effective communication is still one of the most important tools the country has to prevent disease outbreaks and protect public health, and stressed the importance of timely and credible information to counter misinformation.

“Communication is one of the most powerful tools in the management of public health emergencies. “Accurate, timely and science-based information saves lives, while misinformation and rumours can undermine public confidence and hinder effective response,” he said.

The Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, has said the Federal Government is committed to ensuring that all official information relating to Ebola and other infectious diseases are coordinated and based on scientific evidence provided by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC).

“Our responsibility is to ensure government speaks with one clear and coordinated voice, under the guidance of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the country’s technical authority on disease prevention and control,” Idris said.

He said the decision by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to establish the Presidential Task Force was a reflection of the administration’s commitment to strengthen the country’s capacity to respond swiftly to possible public health emergencies.

“It’s always better to take the pre-emptive action before a crisis occurs,” he added.

The minister said the Communications Sub-Committee would immediately begin work on a harmonised national risk communication strategy to ensure that Nigerians get consistent, transparent and accessible public health information.

The strategy would include standard health messages, frequently asked questions, rapid response mechanisms to counter misinformation, translation of communication materials into major Nigerian languages and sustained engagement with the media, communities and other stakeholders, he said.

“Our mandate is more than just writing press statements. “We must develop a comprehensive national risk communication strategy that is proactive, transparent and accessible to all Nigerians, irrespective of language or location,” Idris said.

He praised the National Orientation Agency (NOA) for its nationwide public awareness campaigns using health messages approved by the NCDC, adding that the agency is a key partner in promoting grassroots awareness.

The minister also called for increased collaboration between government institutions, the media, digital platforms, traditional and religious leaders, schools, transport unions, market associations, youth and women’s groups and civil society organisations to ensure effective dissemination of accurate health information.

There is no confirmed case of Ebola Virus Disease in the country presently, Idris assured Nigerians, calling on the public to stay calm and observe preventive health measures.

“There is no confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria, there is no cause for panic. “The government is well prepared and vigilant and Nigerians should rely only on verified information from official government sources,” he said.

He noted that the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo underscores the need to maintain high levels of preparedness, adding that Nigeria has enhanced surveillance at its borders and placed health facilities on alert to prevent possible importation of the virus.

The minister recalled the successful containment of the Ebola outbreak in Nigeria in 2014, saying the achievement showed the value of strong leadership, coordinated response, effective surveillance and sustained public communication in health emergencies.

Idris expressed confidence that the Presidential Task Force, working in close collaboration with the NCDC and other relevant stakeholders, would further strengthen the country’s preparedness and also reinforce public confidence in Nigeria’s ability to respond effectively to future disease outbreaks.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris chairs the Presidential Task Force’s Communications, Diplomacy and International Engagement Sub-Committee with the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye, as the Deputy Chairman.

The committee also has Dr. Suleiman Haruna, Director of Press Relations and Protocol, Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation.

Davido Responds After Soludo’s Son Dances To Viral Song Targeting Governor Soludo

Afrobeats star David Adeleke who is popularly known as Davido has reacted to a viral video of Ozonna Soludu, son of Anambra State Governor Charles Soludu, dancing to a song targeted at some of Nigeria’s political leaders.

According to social media reports, the video showed Ozonna singing along and dancing to the controversial song that mentioned President Bola Tinubu, Governor Soludo and other prominent politicians.

Many Nigerians were drawn to the clip for the fact that Ozonna kept dancing even when the song referred to his father.

In Ozonna’s comment section he wrote: “This one no send o 😂😂”

The song also mentioned several Nigerian leaders including, Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma.

Ozonna Soludo is a singer and content creator who has gained popularity due to his music, fashion sense, dance videos and social media activities.

REA: Solar Energy Now Provides 20% Of Nigeria’s Electricity Supply

Solar power generation has grown significantly in recent years to about 20 per cent of Nigeria’s electricity supply and could reach 50 per cent by 2029 if current deployment and private-sector partnerships continue, the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) said.

REA managing director, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, disclosed this on Thursday at the just concluded 25th Nigerian Oil and Gas (NOG) Energy Week in Abuja.

Speaking during an energy panel, dubbed, “Re-Engineering Africa’s Power Market – Driving Reliable Energy Systems

Aliyu said Solar’s share of national generation has grown quickly and that continued momentum would see it approaching half of the country’s power mix in the next two to three years.

Aliyu said the growth was driven by increasing deployment and greater collaboration with private investors.

“Solar currently makes up 20 per cent of the nation’s total generation capacity and at the rate of deployment we are seeing it is approaching 50 per cent,” he said.

Nigeria, the REA chief told delegates, was moving from being a major consumer of clean-energy equipment to a regional provider of renewable technology.

Manufacturers in the Lagos-Sagamu industrial corridor were building capacity to meet demand across West Africa, he said.

Aliyu said solar photovoltaic (PV) panels made in Lagos were already being exported to neighbouring countries.

He added that a pipeline of some 3.7 gigawatts of PV manufacturing capacity was being developed to support further expansion.

“If you go to the Lagos – Sagamu axis, you will see manufacturing companies coming up,” he said.

While acknowledging the rapid growth in solar deployment and local manufacturing, REA and industry representatives warned that conventional gas-fired thermal plants will still be needed to stabilise Nigeria’s grid.

Another panellist, Vincent Ozoude, managing director and chief executive officer of Transafam Power Limited, said that the intermittency of renewables and the need to stabilise supply for a growing population required gas.

He cautioned that without enough gas-fired capacity, the gains made through renewables investments could be lost. He said: “Gas fired thermal plants are the quick fix to stabilising the baseline of the grid, given the swings in renewables. “If you don’t have the gas-fired plants there today, no matter how much renewable investment we are doing, we are going backwards.”

Panelists called for a dual-track investment strategy that would keep expanding solar generation and domestic manufacturing, but also maintain and upgrade gas-fired plants.

They urged the federal government and private investors to align policies and financing to support both tracks.

Also, speakers recommended investment in grid infrastructure to get the new generation to consumers. They urged the implementation of digitalised smart-grid systems for real-time dispatch of power, and the construction of more high-voltage transmission lines to ensure that newly generated electricity does not remain stranded.

The panelists said that linking increased solar capacity, continued gas support and better transmission and digital controls would be needed to convert increased generation into a dependable supply for millions of households across Nigeria.

Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Pressure Mounts As Tinubu Weighs Shettima Ahead Of APC Deadline

Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Pressure Mounts As Tinubu Weighs Shettima Ahead Of APC Deadline

With the deadline for political parties to submit the names of their presidential and National Assembly candidates set to expire in just 24 hours, it appears that the All Progressives Congress (APC) may retain Vice President Kashim Shettima as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s running mate for the 2027 presidential election.

Religious concerns over presenting another Muslim-Muslim ticket have been a worry but sources in the Presidency and the ruling party said political calculations were tilting increasingly in favour of Shettima’s retention.

A Presidency source said that influential political stakeholders from the North-East, had stepped up consultations to ensure that the Vice President remained on the APC presidential ticket.

Some political leaders in the region acknowledged Tinubu’s constitutional and political discretion to choose his running mate, but had begun to look for other options if the president decided to replace Shettima, the source said.

But many APC chieftains were said to be hopeful that the Vice President would still make the ballot.

“The party leaders believe that Shettima’s loyalty, calm disposition and commitment to his responsibilities have bolstered his chances of remaining Tinubu’s running mate,” the source said.

The source said: “They said Senator Shettima had done nothing in the last three years to warrant replacement.

“The VP’s level-headedness, commitment to the job and loyalty to President Tinubu are some of the compelling reasons the President will not change him, they said.

“Then, if you look at the political situation of the country now, there is no person that the President could choose from the North to assure huge winning votes more than the Vice President.

The source said that the removal of Shettima might cause political discontent in the North-East where stakeholders seem to be mobilising to defend the region’s position on the presidential ticket.

The source further alleged that the ADC vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, had been making overtures to influential leaders in the North-East to garner support for the ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He said Amaechi’s political relevance in the region goes as far back as the 2022 APC presidential primary where he was said to have garnered significant delegate support from the North-East.

“You know Amaechi got the highest number of delegate votes from the North-East when he contested with Tinubu for the APC ticket in 2022.

“Atiku is giving us reasons to work for him this time around with the ADC vice-presidential candidate. “He said President Tinubu is hell-bent on dumping Shettima and picking a weak running mate.”

The source said Amaechi also expressed concern over the perception of the APC’s same-faith presidential ticket outside the country.

Amaechi also said President Tinubu was already in trouble with the United States over the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“One thing I can tell you is that the stakeholders of the North-East have made up their minds to stand by Shettima.

He said the recent television appearance of former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, was part of the efforts by the leaders in the region to assure Tinubu of continued support and bloc votes from the North-East.

As at the time of filing this report, APC leaders contacted could not confirm whether reported plans to consider the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (retd.), and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, as alternative running mates had been dropped.

The two men were said to have emerged in talks over who could replace Shettima, as the APC faces pressure to balance its ticket religiously.

But a former APC national officer from the North-Central said provisions of the Electoral Act could make it difficult to upload Shettima’s name as a placeholder and replace him later.

“The people around President Tinubu have been telling him that running Shettima as a placeholder might be difficult to reverse due to the strong provisions of the Electoral Act 2026,” the former official said.

“They say the best thing to do is to drop Shettima and give him concessions because it will be difficult to convince him to resign after uploading his name.

Top 10 Nigerian Newspaper Headlines You Need To Know This Friday Morning

Good morning to you! Here is today’s roundup from the Nigerian Newspapers:

1. Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has disclosed that he declined to pay a N300 million ransom demanded by kidnappers who abducted his brothers in 2019, saying he would not negotiate with criminals rather than encourage the growing menace of kidnapping for ransom. “My decision is based on the fact that paying ransom only emboldens criminal groups to continue to abduct innocent people,” the governor said.

2. Danladi Umar, the former Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, sitting in Maitama. The remand order was given by Justice Peter Kekemeke after Umar was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on a four-count charge of conferring undue advantage on himself while serving as the chairman of the CCT.

3. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday arraigned the leader of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, before Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on an alleged $2.33 million money laundering offence. Bodejo, who was earlier detained by the Department of State Services, DSS before being transferred to the EFCC, was arraigned before Justice Daniel Osiagor on a 12-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering.

4. The Federal Government has said it has doubled the minimum monthly salary of Nigerian soldiers from N49,000 to N100,000 in its latest move to improve troop welfare and boost morale. Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, said the salary review in a TV interview. He called the development a welfare enhancement by the present administration for the military.

5. Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said President Bola Tinubu sees governance as a serious business that must work. A mindset, he said, that had led to the unprecedented infrastructural revolution sweeping the nation’s capital.

6. A Nigerian Army captain and two soldiers have been feared killed after their patrol vehicle struck an improvised explosive device, IED during a routine operation in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State. The incident took place on Tuesday in Maciyan-Kyada village in Babanna Ward, when troops on patrol from Babanna town ran over an IED suspected to have been laid by terrorists, a security source said.

7. The disclosure by the Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa that Nigerian soldiers now earn a minimum monthly salary of N100,000 has trailed reactions. Veterans and serving personnel said it was grossly inadequate. This is as they accused President Bola Tinubu of failing to implement a salary increment he promised almost four months ago.

8. President Bola Tinubu on Thursday withheld his assent to two bills passed by the National Assembly, citing constitutional issues and defects that need to be addressed before the proposed legislation can become law. The President’s decision was conveyed to the Senate through two separate letters read on the floor of the chamber by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

9. The Zamfara State Police Command says it has repelled coordinated bandit attacks in Gummi, Talata Mafara and Gusau Local Government Areas, rescuing an abducted staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission and other captives while recovering hundreds of rustled cattle. This was disclosed by the command’s spokesperson, DSP Yazid Abubakar, in a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday.

10. The Nigeria Police Force and other respondents have been ordered by a Federal High Court in Calabar to pay N100 million damages for the torture and killing of a 22-year-old man, Onyekachi Mba. The judgment was delivered on Thursday by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu in a fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by the applicant and deceased’s mother, Mrs Victoria Mba through her counsel, Chief Roland Ndubuka.

Alleged $4.5bn Fraud: Court Admits Emefiele’s EFCC Statements As Evidence

The Lagos State Special Offences Court, Ikeja has admitted in evidence extra-judicial statements allegedly made by the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

On Thursday, Justice Rahman Oshodi was quoted to have said that he dismissed the objections raised by Emefiele’s lawyers against the admissibility of the statements.

The court found that the statements were not confessional statements and therefore a trial-within-trial was not necessary.

Justice Oshodi held that before an extra-judicial statement can be treated as confessional, it must contain an unequivocal admission of the offences alleged against the maker.

The judge held that none of Emefiele’s statements could be construed as an admission of the facts in issue.

Thus, the court admitted as exhibits statements purportedly made by Emefiele on October 27, October 30, November 11, November 12 and November 13, 2023.

The case was adjourned to the 6th, 7th and 8th of October and 11th, 12th and 13th of November, 2026 for continuation of trial.

Emefiele is being prosecuted along with Henry Omoile on 19 counts bordering on abuse of office, receiving gratification, accepting gifts through agents, corruption and fraudulent property transactions involving about $4.5bn and ₦2.8bn.

Omoile is facing three charges of unlawful receipt of gifts in connection with transactions involving the CBN.

Both defendants have entered pleas of not guilty.

Emefiele’s lawyer, Olalekan Ojo (SAN), had prayed the court to disregard the statements on the ground that they were obtained under oppression and torture while his client was in DSS custody.

But the prosecution, led by Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), argued that the statements were not confessional and there was no legal basis for a trial-within-trial.

Nigeria Set To Use 112 As Single National Emergency Contact

The Federal Government is now making moves to adopt 112 as the single national emergency telephone number for Nigeria. Consultation is expected to begin with state governors and emergency response agencies before the nationwide rollout.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications (Office of the Vice President), Mr. Stanley Nkwocha, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday.

The statement said the initiative was discussed at a meeting on Tuesday between the Vice President, Kashim Shettima and a delegation from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) led by the Chairman of its Governing Board, Chief Idris Ibikunle Olorunnimbe at the Presidential Villa.

The meeting comes days after the National Economic Council (NEC) chaired by the Vice President approved the adoption of 112 as the country’s unified emergency number to be used by all levels of government and concerned agencies.

As part of the implementation plan, Shettima directed the NCC to develop a roadmap for the project and work closely with the national emergency management agency (NEMA) to strengthen coordination of emergency response services across the country.

The delegation was also assured of sustained support for the initiative, with funding to be mobilised through the National Economic Council and the private sector.

He also called for greater collaboration and commitment from emergency response agencies for a successful rollout of the initiative.

Olorunnimbe earlier said that the NCC has already established about 35 Emergency Communications Centres across the country but stressed the need for more robust support from state governments and emergency agencies to keep the centres up and running.

He called on the Nigeria Police Force, the ambulance services, NEMA and governors to collaborate to provide timely emergency assistance to people in distress.

“We expect everyone to buy into this initiative and understand its importance. “It is a patriotic duty to our country to ensure that anyone in distress can get the help they need in a very swift manner,” Olorunnimbe said.

Student Loan Scheme Hits N1.5 Billion Disbursement – NELFUND

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has disbursed ₦1.5 billion to 6,129 students in three institutions for the 2025/2026 academic session.

NELFUND made this known on Thursday in an update on its verified 𝕏 handle.

The beneficiary institutions, according to NELFUND, are Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ekiti State; Sikiru Adetona College of Education, Science and Technology, Omu-Ajose, Ogun State; and the Edo State College of Nursing Sciences, Benin City, Edo State.

A breakdown of the disbursement showed that BOUESTI received the highest amount with ₦1,360,920,800 released to cover 5,396 students across five tranches.

Sikiru Adetona College of Education, Science and Technology received ₦104,530,000 for 680 students, and Edo State College of Nursing Sciences received ₦36,485,000 for 53 students.

The Fund said the three institutions received a total of ₦1,501,935,800 for 6,129 beneficiaries.

The three institutions have acknowledged receipt of the funds in letters seen by Channels Television.

The Registrar of Sikiru Adetona College, Dr Bukola Makinde, said the money had been credited to the accounts of the student beneficiaries.

“The said money had since been paid into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries of the students,” she said.

Makinde said the intervention was a major support that would enable students “to enjoy financial hitch-free academic progress.”

The Provost, Edo State College of Nursing Sciences, Mabel Omobude, also confirmed receipt of the funds, and pledged that the money would be used strictly for the purpose it was released.

“The disbursement will be judiciously used strictly for its intended educational purposes in tandem with global best practices,” she said.

She said the college reaffirmed its “continued commitment to compliance, transparency, and accountability in the administration of this facility.”

The BOUESTI Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Andrew Babatunde Omojola, said the university received the full ₦1,360,920,800 approved for its students in five tranches.

“We hereby confirm the receipt of a total sum of One Billion, Three Hundred and Sixty Million, Nine Hundred and Twenty Thousand, Eight Hundred Naira only, being total payment of the five tranches of student loan approved to 5,396 students of BOUESTI,” he said.

Omojola praised the Federal Government and NELFUND management for ensuring the funds were released efficiently.

“We want to appreciate the Federal Government and we sincerely applaud the Managing Director/CEO of NELFUND and his team for their efforts and efficiency in ensuring that the objectives of the scheme are achieved across the country,” he added.

It was reported that the student loan scheme is one of the Federal Government’s interventions to expand access to tertiary education by lessening the financial burden on students and their families.

N1.5bn Suit: May Edochie Drags Ex-Lawyer, Others To Court Over Alleged Data Leak

N1.5bn Suit: May Edochie Drags Ex-Lawyer, Others To Court Over Alleged Data Leak

May Yul-Edochie, estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, has taken her battle against years of alleged online harassment to a Lagos High Court, naming her former legal representative among those she blames for the attacks.

The lawsuit, filed by her current legal team at Greylaw Partners, is against Yinka Omolola Theisen, Emeka Ugwuonye and several unnamed operators of social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and X, and seeks permanent injunctions to stop the alleged harassment and to compel the removal of disputed content from all platforms.

One of the suit’s more curious aspects is May’s inclusion of a former lawyer. The person had acted for her in a legal case and she claims that in revealing information learned in that capacity, the person violated solicitor-client confidentiality and weaponized privileged access to her.

To understand why she has come under attack, we need to go back to 2022, when Yul Edochie announced publicly that he had taken a second wife, actress Judy Austin, with whom he had fathered a child.

May, who has been married to Yul for 20-plus years and has four children with him, was caught off guard by the news. The fallout was almost entirely public, turning May into one of the most talked-about figures in Nigerian entertainment that year, garnering her sympathy and, in some quarters, sustained hostility online.

According to a 126-paragraph affidavit filed in support of her suit, the hostility never stopped. She alleges a sustained campaign over several years, involving doctored photographs, AI-generated images, fabricated stories, defamatory caricatures and death threats, all intended, she says, to humiliate her and damage her commercial standing.

Her personal contact details were also leaked online, reportedly exposing her and her family to direct harassment outside of social media.

She tried to resolve the situation out of court. In September 2025, cease-and-desist notices were sent to two of the named defendants, demanding takedowns, public retractions and apologies. Instead, she says, the attacks became more aggressive and new accounts were created specifically to continue the attacks after earlier ones were flagged.

In addition to emotional distress, she is pointing to concrete financial consequences, including lost endorsements, damaged business relationships and reputational harm she says has directly affected her income.

May is demanding ₦1 billion in damages from Ugwuonye, ₦500 million from Theisen, and court orders requiring social media platforms to identify and disclose information about the operators of anonymous accounts involved in the alleged campaign.

Justice Abdul-Raheem Tejumade Muyideen ordered that the court’s processes be served through all known contact channels for the defendants. The matter has been adjourned for service report.
