 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

     The Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, has agreed to collaborate with the National Population Commission on the Special Public Works Initiatives, with the aim of engaging the nation’s teeming youthful population, for Sustainable National Development.
The Honourable Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, SAN, disclosed this while responding to a request by the Chairman of National Population Commission, Dr. Tayo Oyetunji, for the engagement of participants of the Public Works Programme as Notifiers of the Commission.
Keyamo said the request was in tandem with the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari for collaboration of the programme with relevant Government agencies with local content input.
Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the National Population Commission, Dr. Tayo Oyetunji who was on a courtesy call to the Minister, said the commission was seeking the assistance of the Minister for the posting of some of those to be engaged in the Special Public Works Programme, to serve as Notifiers under the Civil Registration Programme in their respective Local Government Areas.
He said that, the National Population Commission has the constitutional mandate to establish and maintain a universal birth and death registration programme throughout the country.
He added that, in line with its mandate, the Commission had established not less than five registration centers each in the 774 Local Government Areas of the country. These Centers he said, are responsible for registering births and deaths within their domain.
He therefore sought the approval of the Honourable Minister for the posting of at least 10 persons to each of the LGA Offices of the Commission to serve as Notifiers under the birth and death registration programme for the duration of the Special Public Works Programme.
According to him, the initiative was in tandem with the Nigeria Road Map on Harnessing Demographic Dividend, through investment in youths which was launched by the Vice-President on 7th July 2017.
He noted that, just like the Special Public Works in Rural Area Programme, the initiative for harnessing the demographic dividend which is being coordinated by the Commission is also aimed at investing in and engaging the teeming youthful population for sustainable National development.
Keyamo subsequently approved the request of the National Population Commission for 10 operatives of the programme to be posted to the Commission’s Local Government Offices across the Federation.
He promised that the names of Selection Committee Members with the responsibility of screening participants across the Local Government Areas would soon be released.
