Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year. In issuing the pardon, Trump described Buyer’s service as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army and his time in Congress as “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon, dated Thursday and released by the White House on Friday, grants Buyer “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.” Buyer has maint...

 LASG URGES MANAGEMENT OF TRADE FAIR COMPLEX TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PLANNING PERMIT AMNESTY


The Lagos State Government has urged the management of Trade Fair Complex to emulate other Federal Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) and take advantage of the ongoing Planning Permit Amnesty for existing buildings without approval.


The State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Oluyinka Olumide, gave the advice on Tuesday at Alausa, Ikeja, stressing that many Federal Government Agencies, including the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) and the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), have come forward and commenced the process of regularising their buildings under the current Amnesty Programme.


He enjoined the management of the International Trade Fair Complex to take a cue from other Government Agencies and hasten up to obtain Planning Permits for structures in the complex during the Amnesty window that was graciously approved by the Governor of Lagos State, Dr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu.


“Building Approval is not negotiable for all structures within the confines of Lagos State as stipulated by the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law 2019 as amended”, he said.


He emphasised the need for owners of buildings without approval to key into the programme and avoid subsequent enforcement as planning approval was germane to the achievement of the livable and sustainable city goal of the State Government.


The current Amnesty window, the third of its kind under Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu's administration, runs from 1st November to 31st December 2025, during which the usual penal fees will be waived.
