 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.

 INFORMATION MINISTER CAUTIONS AGAINST RETURN TO PETROL SUBSIDY


The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has cautioned against calls to restore petrol subsidy, saying a return to the old regime could undermine Nigeria’s improving fiscal position, weaken investor confidence and reverse the gains of the economic reforms of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.


In a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Rabiu Ibrahim, the Minister reacted to an Op-Ed published on Monday, August 24, 2026, in some national dailies, titled “Restoring Fuel Subsidy Will Reverse Nigeria’s Economic Gains.”

Idris said proponents of subsidy restoration must consider its real opportunity costs, asking Nigerians to choose between restoring petrol subsidy and sustaining student loans and consumer credit for young Nigerians, or restoring subsidy and maintaining higher allocations to states and local governments.


The Minister further warned that restoring the subsidy could affect funding for roads, rail, power and security, while also weakening the fiscal capacity required to expand healthcare, education and social protection for vulnerable Nigerians.


He recalled that in 2022, amid declining oil production and weak revenues, Nigeria spent about 10 billion dollars on fuel subsidies, while the World Bank warned that the subsidy was consuming resources that could otherwise have supported education, healthcare, infrastructure and social protection.


Citing the Federal Government’s recently presented “Nigeria’s Reform Scorecard: The Benefits, Costs and Harms Prevented,” Idris said the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr Taiwo Oyedele, disclosed that subsidy savings mobilised 15.8 trillion naira in resources for the Federation between June 2023 and December 2025.


He explained that about 5.43 trillion naira accrued to the Federal Government, 6.52 trillion naira to states and 3.88 trillion naira to local governments.
