 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results.

EU Commission's €1.49 Billion Fine on Google Rejected by Court Over Flawed Analysis


An EU court has annulled a €1.49 billion fine imposed on Google by the European Commission over alleged abuse of its dominant position in online advertising. The General Court in Luxembourg ruled that the European Commission made errors in its assessment, particularly in failing to consider the full context of the contract clauses it found problematic. This ruling marks a significant win for Google as the tech giant has faced numerous antitrust cases in the EU over the past several years.


The fine, originally imposed in 2019, was part of a broader crackdown on big tech companies in Europe. It specifically targeted Google's AdSense service, which the EU had accused of limiting competition by restricting third-party websites from displaying ads from Google's competitors. Google, however, argued that it had already made changes to its ad services prior to the Commission's decision, and the court's ruling appears to validate these claims.


 While this ruling provides temporary relief for Google, the company's legal battles in Europe are far from over. Google is also challenging a record €4.3 billion penalty over its Android operating system, which was imposed by the EU for antitrust violations in 2018. This ongoing scrutiny underscores the broader efforts by EU regulators to curb what they see as monopolistic practices by tech giants.
