 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

ETHIOPIA BEGINS CONSTRUCTION OF 'AFRICA'S BIGGEST AIRPORT'. (PHOTO).


 Ethiopia begins construction of 'Africa's biggest airport'


Ethiopian Airlines on Saturday officially started a $12.5 billion construction project for what officials say will be Africa's biggest airport when completed in 2030 in the Ethiopian town of Bishoftu.


The state-owned airline got the contract to design the four-runway airport in the town located around 45 km (28 miles) southeast of Addis Ababa.


"Bishoftu International Airport will be the largest aviation infrastructure project in Africa's history," Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali said on X, Reuters reported.


The airport will have space to park 270 planes and capacity for 110 million passengers a year.


That is more than four times the capacity of Ethiopia's current main airport, which will reach its limits on existing traffic in the next two-to-three years, Abiy said.


The airline's Infrastructure Development & Planning Director Abraham Tesfaye told reporters it would fund 30% and lenders would finance the rest.


It has already allocated $610 million for earthworks, which are due to be completed in one year, he said at the site, with the main contractors scheduled to start work in August 2026.


The project was initially billed at $10 billion.


Other creditors include the African Development Bank, which last August said it would lend $500 million and lead efforts to raise $8.7 billion.


"Lenders from Middle East, Europe, China and USA have shown strong interest to finance the project," Abraham said.


Ethiopian Airlines is Africa's biggest carrier. It added six extra routes in 2024/25, while revenues are also expanding.
