 Niger says military activity in capital brought under control Niger's defense minister said Saturday that military activity in the capital, Niamey, had been brought under control and security forces had regained control of critical sites that were targeted. Gen. Salifou Mody's remarks were broadcast on national television after heavy gunfire and explosions were reported around Diori Hamani International Airport and the presidential palace in Niamey. Mody said a group of soldiers had "broken away from military order" and attempted to detain some of their fellow soldiers at the Base 101 military facility in Niamey before opening fire on several critical sites in the capital. He said the activity was brought under control thanks to the swift intervention of Nigerien defense and security forces, adding that control was gradually restored in the targeted areas. Mody urged residents of Niamey to remain calm and continue their daily activities as usual.

 Shehu Sani Urges Saudi Arabia to Build Second National Grid for Nigeria, Focus on Economic Reforms Later


Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has urged Saudi Arabia to prioritize the construction of a second national grid for Nigeria, rather than focusing on economic reforms. His statement came in response to reports that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Al Saud had pledged support for Nigeria's economic reform efforts during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh. 


According to Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the two leaders discussed various areas of cooperation, including oil and gas, agriculture, infrastructure, and the establishment of a Saudi-Nigeria Business Council. Nigeria also seeks a $5 billion bilateral trade agreement with Saudi Arabia. 


Reacting to the development on X, Sani quipped, "Oil-rich Saudi promised to support Nigeria’s economic reforms. They should just build a second national grid for us and leave the issue of the reforms for now."
