 Anambra Government Dissolves Nkwo Umueze Market Leadership Over Defiance of Monday Trading Directive By Ebele Iyke Odili/Amaka Isikala  The Anambra State Government has dissolved the caretaker committee of Nkwo Umueze Market for failing to comply with the state’s directive mandating full commercial activities on Mondays. The dissolved committee, led by Mr. Onyeka Ekemezie, has been relieved of its duties with immediate effect.  The former chairman and members of the committee have consequently ceased to function as the recognized leadership of the market. The decision follows a clear policy position of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo that no market in the state should remain closed on Mondays under any guise.  The Governor had earlier warned that any market leadership found enforcing or encouraging continued closure would be dissolved in the interest of economic stability and public order. It would be recalled that the Monday sit-at-home, previously imposed by the ...

 DHS implements rule to speed up visas for religious workers serving US congregations abroad

  The Department of Homeland Security has announced a rule change designed to reduce visa wait times for religious workers coming to serve U.S. congregations, easing restrictions that previously forced many to leave the country for extended periods. The change affects R-1 visas, which allow foreign pastors, priests, nuns, imams, and rabbis to temporarily work in the United States while their congregations pursue permanent residency petitions. Previously, clergy who reached the five-year maximum for an R-1 visa were required to leave the U.S. for a full year before reapplying, a rule that had been exacerbated by processing changes in 2023. Under the new DHS guidance, religious workers will still depart but can immediately apply to return.

The rule has drawn praise from immigration attorneys and faith leaders, who say it will reduce disruptions for U.S. congregations relying on foreign clergy. Lance Conklin, an attorney representing evangelical churches, called it “a huge deal” that prevents organizations from losing staff for a full year. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and other religious groups highlighted the importance of the program, noting that foreign-born clergy fill critical roles amid domestic shortages. The rule addresses delays created in 2023 when clergy were added to a broader green card backlog alongside minors seeking humanitarian status, which had extended waiting times. While the change helps maintain continuity for congregations, thousands of religious workers still face long waits for permanent residency, a challenge advocates say will only be fully resolved through broader immigration reform.
