PRESIDENT TINUBU NOMINATES BOARD MEMBERS FOR NMDPRA, NUPRC, SEEKS SENATE CONFIRMATION

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has written two letters to the Senate, seeking confirmation of 21 nominees for the boards of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).

A statement by Bayo Onanuga, special Adviser to the President, Information & Strategy, indicates that in the first letter, President Tinubu nominated Senator Magnus Abe to serve as the NUPRC board chair. Abe, who represented Rivers South East in the Senate for two terms, is a former NNPC board member and current chairman of the National Agency of the Great Green Wall.

Other nominees for the NUPRC board are Engineer Paul Yaro Jezhi, a former Trade Union Congress chairman in Kaduna, and Mr Sunday Adebayo Babalola, a former deputy director of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), which was abolished by the PIA in 2021. Both men will serve as non-executive commissioners.

President Tinubu also nominated executive commissioners to the board.

They are: Muhammed Sabo Lamido, executive commissioner for finance; Mr Edu Inyang, executive commissioner for Exploration and Acreage; Justin Ezeala, executive commissioner for economic regulation and strategic planning; and Henry Darlington Oki, executive commissioner for Development and Production. Others are Indabawa Bashari Alka, executive commissioner for corporate services and administration; Mahmood Tijani, executive commissioner for health, safety and environment; and Ms Olayemi Adeboyejo, as secretary and legal adviser.

Former President Buhari appointed Lamido and Adeboyejo in 2022, while President Tinubu appointed Alka in 2023. Inyang, Ezeala, the former managing director of Nigerian Gas Marketing Limited, Mahmood Tijani, Babalola and Jezhi are new appointees of President Tinubu.

In his second letter to the Senate, President Tinubu nominated Mr Adegbite Ebiowei Adeniji, a lawyer, as chairman of the NMDPRA board. Adeniji has over 30 years of experience in energy and natural resources issues. He was a special technical adviser to the Minister of State for Petroleum on upstream and gas until 2018. He was a member of the Oil & Gas Policy team at the World Bank, which advised the Government of Nigeria on the reform and restructuring of the petroleum sector, including the development of the Strategic Gas Plan for Nigeria. He is currently the managing partner at ENR Advisory.

President Tinubu also nominated Chief Kenneth Kobani and Mrs Asabe Ahmed as non-executive members. Kobani was a former minister of state for trade under President Jonathan and secretary to the government of Rivers State, under Nyesom Wike.

Also nominated for confirmation are Abiodun Adeniji, executive director of finance; Francis Ogaree, executive director of hydrocarbon; Oluwole Adama, executive director of midstream and Downstream gas infrastructure; and Dr Mustapha Lamorde, executive director of Corporate Services and Administration. President Tinubu appointed Adama in 2024, while late President Buhari appointed Lamorde and Adeniji in 2021 and Ogaree in 2022

Other members of the NMDPRA board, as proposed by President Tinubu, are Mr Yahaya Nasamu Yinusa, executive director, distribution systems; Adeyemi Murtala Aminu, executive director, corporate services; Ms Modie Ogechukwu, executive director, economic regulation and strategic planning; and Barrister Olawale Dawodu, as board secretary and legal adviser. Dawodu is an industry player and was, at a time, the Financial Reporting Manager at Exxon Nigerian subsidiaries.

The President urged the Senate to approve the nominees expeditiously.

The requests followed the recent appointment of chief executive officers for the two regulatory agencies. The Senate confirmed Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan as the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and Engineer Saidu Aliyu Mohammed as CEO of NMDPRA.

Mr President has charged all the appointees and nominees to discharge their duties and responsibilities professionally as regulators of the oil and gas sectors.

Tinubu’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, Explains Nationwide Power Outage, Assures Nigerians Electricity Will Be Restored Within 48 Hours After Gas Pipeline Explosion

Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has given an update on the nationwide power outage affecting homes, offices, and industries across the country. Adelabu explained that the drop in electricity supply was caused by a temporary shortfall in power generation following an explosion on the Escravos–Lagos Gas Pipeline and acts of vandalism on critical gas infrastructure. He assured Nigerians that repairs are ongoing and that power generation and supply are expected to be fully restored within 24 to 48 hours, especially as electricity demand rises during the Yuletide season. Power sector stakeholders, including TCN, NISO, GENCOs, and DISCOs, confirmed efforts to meet the restoration timeline, while distribution companies like IBEDC apologised to customers for the inconvenience caused by intermittent supply.

“No Bloodshed!” — Historian Reveals How Gowon’s Final Words During 1975 Coup Showed His True Love for Peace

In a recent interview on the Edmund Obilo Show, historian and author Adebayo Adeolu, who wrote “Sani Abacha: Nigeria’s Most Powerful Defence Minister and Head of State,” revealed a powerful and often-overlooked detail about General Yakubu Gowon’s fall from power in 1975.

Adeolu disclosed that when news of the coup reached Gowon, the then Head of State ordered his aides and security personnel not to resist or spill any blood.

“When Gowon was going to be overthrown, he said, ‘make sure nobody’s killed, we have seen enough of it,’” Adeolu quoted.

According to the historian, Gowon’s reaction reflected his deep weariness with Nigeria’s cycles of violence — particularly after the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), which he had led. Instead of clinging to power, Gowon chose peace over conflict, showing a level of restraint rare among military rulers of his time.

“That single moment showed Gowon’s moral strength and his genuine desire for a peaceful Nigeria,” Adeolu said, describing the act as one of the most humane moments in Nigeria’s military history.


Gowon, who was attending the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Summit in Uganda when he was ousted, quietly accepted his removal and later devoted his life to reconciliation and peacebuilding — cementing his reputation as a statesman of grace and humility.

Oyo Allocates 90 Hectares of Land To FG For Dry Port Construction

The Oyo State Government has handed over the Certificate of Occupancy for 90 hectares of land to the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy for the construction of a dry port.

The land, which is located at Moniya in Ibadan, was handed over by the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Lawal, to a delegation led by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, Olorunfemi Oloruntola.

Speaking earlier at the Office of the Governor, the Deputy Governor, Adebayo Lawal, expressed optimism that the project, when completed, would boost the economy of the state, emphasising that party differences would not hinder development in Oyo State.

He urged the Federal Government to quickly put the land into use and commence the project on time, noting that several lands previously allocated to the Federal Government had been left abandoned.

In his response, the leader of the delegation commended the state government for releasing such a massive parcel of land for developmental purposes and promised that work would commence as soon as possible.

"Give President Tinubu Time, He Will Tax the Air We Breathe" —SDP’s Adewole Adebayo.

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has condemned the federal government’s decision to impose a 15 per cent import duty on refined petroleum products. 

Adebayo described the move as “an anti-people decision” and accused President Bola Tinubu of pushing excessive taxation policies.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Adebayo argued that the administration is prioritising revenue collection over citizens’ welfare.

According to him, “President Tinubu is a clever tax collector. He wants to collect taxes from you for everything, including the oxygen tax, very soon.
If you’re not careful, yes, the air we breathe. Just give him time; he’s going to get there,” he said.

Adebayo contended that the new import duty contradicts the principles Tinubu once promoted.

“It is an anti-people decision and a trend in the new Tinubu. Tinubu that used to be in SDP, following Abiola everywhere doing Hope 93, has practically changed to the side of the money people.

They see you as a customer, not a citizen. If you have twins and triplets in your house, Tinubu is going to think of twins tax or ‘multiple childbirth tax.’ He’s just thinking of how to collect more money. It’s wrong,” he said.

He warned that the tariff will ultimately fall on ordinary Nigerians, especially given current economic hardships.

“If you put 15 per cent tariffs on imported petrol, who is going to pay for it? It’s going to be paid by the person who buys the petrol at the filling station,” Adebayo added.

Lagos communities groan over collapsed roads, perennial flooding.

For a couple of years, residents of some parts of Lagos State have been living in pain and fear.

This is attributable to the sorry-state of the roads across some communities, a development that has also led to the blockage of drainage systems in such environments and consequent flooding, which has rendered scores homeless.

Of particular interest is the Oyadiran Estate in the Sabo axis of Yaba, Lagos, where residents live in constant fear and frustration as the once-serene neighbourhood has become a nightmare of broken roads, blocked drainages and knee-deep floods whenever it rains.

What used to be a smooth drive through the estate has turned into a stretch of gullies and craters. Deep potholes have eaten deep into the asphalt, leaving gaping holes filled with muddy water. Vehicles now struggle to navigate the dilapidated stretch, while pedestrians tread carefully on the narrow edges of the damaged road to avoid slipping into stagnant pools.

On rainy days, the situation worsens. The drainage channels, many of them clogged with plastic waste and silt overflow easily, sending torrents of water cascading into homes and shops. Residents recount how, within minutes of a heavy downpour, their streets turn into a river, with water gushing through compounds and submerging ground-floor apartments. Motorists lament the danger they face while navigating the bad road on a daily basis.

Describing what residents face on a daily basis, Kunle Adebayo described the experience as tortuous. “It is a moment of agony passing through the road every day. I have been repairing my car almost every day because of this bad road.

“Nobody is ready to fix it. The local government has made countless promises but none has produced any positive result. They would come, make promises and go and we would never see them again.”

“However, during the election, the politicians would come with their promises. They would promise heaven and earth, even to build bridges where there is no river, but at the end of the day, when they get to office, they would not remember any of those promises. We haven’t seen anything, they are all failed promises,” he told DAILY POST.

Opposition Kicks As National Assembly Moves To Shift 2027 Elections To 2026.

Opposition in the country is enraged over a fresh bid by the National Assembly to move the 2027 presidential and governorship elections to November 2026.

The proposal is part of amendments to the 2022 Electoral Act, which seeks to move the elections forward by about six months to allow all pre and post-election litigations to be concluded before the May 29, 2027, handover date.

If the bid is successful, the presidential and gubernatorial elections would be conducted in November 2026, rather than the traditional February or March dates.

The proposal forms part of the draft amendments to the 2022 Electoral Act, which stipulate that elections for both offices must be held no later than 185 days before the expiration of the incumbent’s tenure on May 29.

Section 4(7) of the proposed amendment states that “elections into the office of the president and governor of a state shall be held not later than 185 days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of the office.”

For legislative elections, Section 4(5) of the proposed amendment provides that “elections into the state houses of assembly and the National Assembly shall be held not later than 185 days before the date on which each of the houses stands dissolved.”

At Monday’s joint public hearing, the House Committee on Electoral Matters, chaired by Adebayo Balogun, argued that moving the polls to November 2026 would help “ensure that all manner of election litigations are dispensed with before the swearing-in of winners.”

Balogun stated that the goal was to create sufficient time for the resolution of election petitions, as the committee also proposed an amendment that would reduce the 180-day tribunal judgment period to 90 days.

Nigeria Seeks just $2bn China Loan to Build National Super Grid, Tackle Power Deficit — Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.

Nigeria is negotiating a $2 billion loan with China’s Export-Import Bank to fund the construction of a new “super grid” designed to resolve the nation’s chronic electricity shortages and stimulate industrial expansion.

Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu disclosed this at an economic summit in Abuja on Monday, explaining that the proposed transmission network will connect the country’s eastern and western regions — home to most of Nigeria’s industrial users. He said the project forms part of government efforts to decentralize power generation and encourage major industrial consumers who abandoned the unreliable national grid to reconnect.

“It’s part of our strategy to decentralize power generation and bring back heavy commercial users who left the grid because of its instability,” Adelabu stated.

Nigeria’s power sector remains one of the biggest obstacles to economic growth.
Despite an installed capacity of about 13 gigawatts, the national grid delivers only a fraction of that to more than 200 million citizens, frequently suffering system collapses. By contrast, South Africa, with a quarter of Nigeria’s population, generates around 70 gigawatts.

Adelabu noted that the widespread shift to self-generation now accounts for nearly half of Nigeria’s total electricity use. The planned super grid, he said, will boost transmission efficiency and deliver more power to industrial zones. The Federal Executive Council has already approved the project’s financing plan.

The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, which include fuel subsidy removal, tax law overhaul, improved oil sector security, and efforts to enhance the financial stability of the power industry.

Adelabu also revealed that recent electricity tariff adjustments for urban consumers have strengthened revenue in the sector, rising by 70% in 2024, with projections to grow another 41% to ₦2.4 trillion ($1.6 billion) by year’s end.

Properties worth millions destroyed as fire razes shops in Ibadan.

Goods worth millions of naira were destroyed when fire gutted 14 out of 42 shops at Ogundipe Market, Agodi Gate, in Ibadan North Local Council.

The incident took place in the early hours of Wednesday, September 24.

Confirming the incident, the Special Adviser on Fire Reform and Chairman of the Fire Services Agency, Moroof Adebayo Akinwande, said no lives were lost in the fire outbreak.

He explained that the fire was reported at 3:50 a.m. by a resident, Mr Sulaiman, and that personnel led by T.K. Olayiwola promptly responded.

“Upon arrival, we found 14 shops well alight. We swiftly curtailed the fire and prevented it from spreading to other nearby shops. No casualties were recorded,” he said.

Akinwande added that properties worth billions of naira were saved through the efforts of the fire service, while investigation is ongoing to determine the cause.

He urged traders to be more conscious of fire hazards and to install extinguishers in their shops to prevent small outbreaks from escalating.

When protectors become predators.

IF Nigeria remains the same by 2027, then let no one be surprised if war breaks out. Hunger is already chewing deep into the bone marrow of the nation. Nigerians are gasping under economic hardship, yet while poverty stares them in the face, harassment from those in uniform crushes their very spirit. Must Nigerians suffer hunger and still live under constant intimidation? The danger today is not only the bandits in the forest but also the criminals in multicolored uniforms roaming our streets. These officers — police, vigilantes, Amotekun — have turned their duty into tyranny. They trample the dignity of citizens in the mud and forget that even during an arrest, a citizen still has rights. The use of force is only lawful when a suspect attempts to flee or threatens violence, not when an officer wants to extort money. Extortion has become their trademark. Just recently, a young man on Oyo State’s Ogbomoso road made a live video, crying out to Nigerians and VeryDarkMan, as he was harassed by a police officer. His load was scattered across the road because he refused to pay ₦200. The officer shamelessly defended himself, saying: “Did I beat you?” — yet he never denied scattering the young man’s belongings or requesting ₦200. For ₦200, a man’s dignity was thrown on the highway. What then is the difference between these officers and the criminals in the bush?

At 5pm on July 13, a National Youth Service Corps member, Jennifer Eloho, was brutalised by Anambra security operatives, otherwise known as Agunechemba — vigilantes established to support police operations and safeguard local communities. Armed with guns, they stormed the corps members’ lodge in Oba, Idemili Local Government Area, accusing them of being internet fraudsters. A video of the beating went viral despite her cries for help. Jennifer was not only beaten — her dignity was thrown into the bin. If vigilantes empowered to protect communities can turn against unarmed youths serving their nation, then who is safe? In July 2025, another viral video from Adebayo area of Ado-Ekiti showed police officers trying to gain forceful entry into an apartment in broad daylight. The resident, Michael, captured the incident and shared it on X (formerly Twitter). Up till today, the police are still “investigating.” No officer has been named, no punishment announced, no justice seen. The silence of the police force is louder than any explanation — it smells of complicity. In April 2025, a lady in Ise-Orun, Ekiti State, accused a police officer of stabbing her father. Her testimony, captured on Punch Newspaper’s site, is chilling: her younger brother had a quarrel with a female classmate, which escalated until the girl called her boyfriend. When they stormed the house, they met only the elder brother. She narrated: “One of them went inside first and my brother started challenging the police officer — asking what did he do and why they were taking him to the station. In response, the officer started harassing him physically. At that point, the elder brother called my father to come and see what was happening. When my father came to separate the fight, another police officer stabbed him in the belly. Fortunately, my father used his hand to block the knife, and it tore his hand instead.”

Container Truck Crushes Tricycle In Lagos Accident.

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirmed a fatal accident involving a container-laden truck and a commercial tricycle along the Ijora Causeway, inward Ijora 7Up.

Lagos – Accident: The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirmed a fatal accident involving a container-laden truck and a commercial tricycle along the Ijora Causeway, inward Ijora 7Up.

According to a press statement released by Adebayo Taofiq, Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment at LASTMA, the incident occurred earlier today when a 40-foot container truck, bearing registration number XP 368 AKD, lost control and overturned on a moving tricycle with passengers on board.

“The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirms the occurrence of a tragic accident along Ijora Causeway, inward Ijora 7Up.

The incident involved a 40-foot container truck which fell on a commercial tricycle with unsuspecting passengers,” the statement read.

According to the statement, “Preliminary findings indicate that the articulated vehicle, while attempting a precarious maneuver beneath the Ijora Bridge, lost control and consequently capsized, fatally crushing on to a tricycle in its path. Regrettably, two passengers among them a serving Police Officer were killed instantly.”

“The remains of the deceased Police Officer were subsequently conveyed to a morgue at Yaba by security operatives, while grief-stricken relatives of the second victim, a female passenger, hastened to the scene to retrieve the remains of their loved one.”

“In a valiant rescue operation spearheaded by LASTMA operatives in concert with allied emergency responders, two additional victims, including the tricycle operator, were extricated alive, though they sustained severe bilateral leg fractures.”

Five Cheat Death In Lagos Road Crashes.

Two individuals sustained serious injuries while three others were rescued unhurt in separate road crashes over the weekend in the Mile 2 and Surulere areas of Lagos State.

It took timely interventions of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) to rescue victims.

According to a statement on Sunday by LASTMA’s spokesperson, Mr. Adebayo Taofiq, the first accident occurred at Olohunsogo Bus Stop, inward Mile 2, where a Toyota Camry crashed into a stationary Scania truck.

The impact left the Camry driver and a passenger seriously injured.

He said emergency responders from LASTMA arrived at the scene quickly and extricated both victims, who were later rushed to Ademola Hospital, opposite the Ijanikin Police Station, for immediate medical attention.

Adebayo stated that preliminary investigations indicated that the Camry driver was travelling at excessive speed, lost control, and rammed into the parked truck.

The driver of the stationary vehicle was taken into custody by LASTMA officials, while police officers from the Ijanikin Division provided necessary security support at the scene.

“Preliminary inquiries revealed that the ghastly incident was precipitated by the Camry driver’s reckless indulgence in excessive speeding, which ultimately resulted in the fatal loss of vehicular control.
