 SDP PARLEYS MEDIA AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTIONS  The Social Democratic Party, SDP has disassociated itself from those calling for the rescheduling of the 2027 general elections due to the confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria. A statement by the Presidential candidate of the Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo indicates that just one case of the disease recorded is not enough to cancel or reschedule the election that is already at hand, as the situation is not yet a pandemic. He explains that the country has the ability to take care of the situation. The statement further encourages the media to be as independent and unbiased as possible in reporting the forthcoming general election. It emphasises the media's role in sustaining democratic governance in the country. The SDP Presidential candidate encourages media practitioners to get acquainted with the party's manifesto and enlighten the public adequately, enabling them to actively engage the party during campaigns.

FORMER PRESIDENT JONATHAN CALLS FOR INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY TO STRENGTHEN AFRICA’S SECURITY


With millions of young Africans entering the labour market every year, Africa’s limited industrial capacity is no longer just an economic concern, it is increasingly becoming a challenge to job creation, social stability and security.


Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan stated this while delivering the graduation lecture for National Defence College Course 34, titled “Harnessing Industrial Capacity for Inclusive Growth and Regional Stability in Africa.”


He says since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the late 18th century, the world has witnessed remarkable transformations in industry, technology and economic development.


Africa, however, has struggled to keep pace, with its weak industrial base continuing to limit economic growth, job creation and development.


Former President Jonathan notes that africa’s industrial deficit has gone beyond an economic challenge to become a strategic security concern.


He adds that unemployment and limited economic opportunities are creating conditions that can fuel violent extremism, organised crime and irregular migration.


Jonathan stresses that without competitive industries capable of creating jobs, developing local capacity and expanding economic opportunities, efforts to achieve lasting peace, regional stability and inclusive growth across africa will remain severely constrained.
