 NO ABANDONMENT, NO NEW AWARDS: FG SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON MOROCCO SCHOLARSHIPS The Federal Government has firmly debunked misleading narratives circulating in some quarters regarding Nigerian scholarship students in the Kingdom of Morocco, describing such claims as false, unfounded, and deliberately crafted to misinform the public. The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, has clarified that no Nigerian student on a valid Federal Government scholarship has been abandoned. All beneficiaries duly enrolled under the Bilateral Education Scholarship (BES) Programme prior to 2024 have received payments up to the 2024 budget year, in line with the Federal Government’s obligations.

 Benin, Niger expel each other's diplomats in tit-for-tat move Two years of tension between Benin and Niger this week saw the West African neighbours carry out a tit-for-tat expulsion of diplomats, diplomatic sources in both states said on Sunday, AFP reported. Relations have been frosty since Niger's military coup against President Mohamed Bazoum in July 2023. Niger claims that Benin wants to destabilise it, an allegation Cotonou denies. Recent days saw Benin expel an intelligence agent and a police officer stationed at the Niger embassy in Cotonou, according to a Beninese diplomatic source, who did not specify a reason. 'Persona non grata' In retaliation, Niger, in a note dated Thursday, declared the first counsellor of Benin's embassy in Niamey "persona non grata" and gave him 48 hours to leave the country, citing a reciprocal move. Niger is allied with Burkina Faso and Mali, its two neighbours which are also under transitional rule. All three states ha...

 A Defining Moment for Nigeria: Why Staying the Course Matters    By Mohammed Idris, fnipr    As we enter a new year, the questions that fill our markets, our homes, and our places of work are clear and urgent. They are questions about the price of food, about security in our communities, and about the direction in which our country is headed. It is the duty of this office, the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, to speak to these questions directly, clearly, and with respect for every Nigerian bearing the weight of this moment.    The last thirty-one months have been a period of foundational, often difficult, transformation.

He stated that the support the US is giving Nigeria to fight insecurity isn’t for nothing other than ways to penetrate the government. “Trump is adamant to remove President Tinubu. America will be part of those who will be against Tinubu.

TINUBUNOMICS AND THE ARITHMETIC OF ILLUSION-BY TANIMU YAKUBU. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE

 STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE TINUBUNOMICS AND THE ARITHMETIC OF ILLUSION By Tanimu Yakubu A striking feature of Nigeria's current economic debate is the enthusiasm with which huge numbers are circulated—and the casualness with which they are assembled. Tax collections are added to oil receipts; oil receipts are added again under customs or "subsidy savings"; borrowing is treated as income; and the resulting total is presented as proof of incompetence or theft. This is not an economic analysis. It is an arithmetic illusion. At the core of most viral critiques of Tinubunomics lies a fundamental failure to distinguish between revenue, cash, and financing, and between federation-wide collections and federal budgetary resources. These are not technicalities. They are the foundation of public finance. Revenue is not the same as cash available to the Federal Government. Borrowing is not income; it is financing and creates future obligations. Federation receipts are not equivalent t...
