 N200 Petrol Price Would Have Made Dangote Refinery Impossible — Finance Minister The Federal Government has said the Dangote Petroleum Refinery would not have been able to commence operations under the previous petrol subsidy regime, arguing that the removal of the subsidy was essential to create a viable market for private refining investment. Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Taiwo Oyedele made the remarks on Wednesday in Abuja while presenting the government’s report titled “Nigeria’s Reform Scorecard: The Benefits, Costs and Harms Prevented.” Oyedele acknowledged that the removal of the petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market had imposed significant costs on Nigerians.

‘Sponsor A Bill Rather Than Resort to Abuse,' NDLEA Commander Fires Back at Sowore Over Cannabis Farm Destruction Criticism The Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Ogun State, CN Tijjani Rabe, has strongly responded to criticism from human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore over the agency’s anti-drug operations. Rabe asserted that leadership cannot be built on insults directed at institutions that “sacrifice daily for this country.” Sowore had, in a post on X on Tuesday, faulted the NDLEA for destroying cannabis farms, describing the crop as economically viable. He called on the government to legalise and regulate its cultivation to harness medicinal and industrial potential rather than destroy it. “It is idiotic @ndlea_nigeria wake up, put on uniforms, march into farms, and set economically viable crops worth millions of dollars ablaze while your country is drowning in multidimensional poverty,” Sow...

 Nurses Writes Kaduna Governor Over Alleged Unauthorised Salary Deductions, Intimidation By Health Union Officials  Concerned nurses in Kaduna State have appealed to Governor Uba Sani to urgently intervene in alleged unauthorised deductions from nurses’ salaries and reported intimidation of members who have questioned the deductions.

They stressed that while they recognise the legitimate role of trade unions and professional associations in protecting workers’ interests, such powers, they said, must be exercised within the limits of the law, financial regulations, due process and workers’ fundamental rights. According to the concerned nurses, the legality and authority for the deductions require ...
