Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo. Senate Bill 244, which went into effect immediately after the legislature overrode Gov.

 Wike Revokes PDP National Secretariat Land in Abuja


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revoked the land allocated to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its national secretariat in Abuja.


In a revocation notice dated March 13, 2025, and signed by the Director of Land Administration, Chijioke Nwankwoeze, Wike cited the party’s failure to pay annual ground rents for 20 years—from January 1, 2006, to January 1, 2025—despite multiple reminders through national newspapers and electronic media.


The letter stated that the revocation was carried out under the powers conferred on the minister by the Land Use Act No. 6 of 1978. It also referenced Section 28, Subsection 5 (a) and (b) of the Act, which allows for land repossession due to non-compliance with occupancy conditions.


The FCT administration will now take immediate possession of the property until all outstanding payments are settled.
