• Why AFCON 2025 Bonuses for Super Eagles Players Are Delayed: Tinubu Government Explains

    The Nigerian Government has clarified the delay in bonus payments to Super Eagles players participating in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), attributing the issue to bureaucratic processes rather than negligence. Reports had suggested that the players considered boycotting their quarter-final match against Algeria due to unpaid entitlements, sparking national concern.

    Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), explained that all players were aware of the payment structure before the tournament and that funds approved for AFCON participation were being processed through the Finance Ministry, the Office of the Accountant General, and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

    Dikko noted that President Bola Tinubu had approved a special budget for AFCON as far back as November 14, 2025, but stressed that approval does not mean instant disbursement. According to him, AFCON bonuses are structured by tournament progression, not on a per-match basis, and the first phase of funds has already reached the CBN for processing.

    The NSC chairman assured that daily allowances and initial payments had been made, and the situation was being misrepresented in media reports. He emphasized that the Super Eagles were fully informed about the timing and structure of bonus payments.

    This explanation comes amid heightened public interest in player welfare and government accountability, highlighting the need for transparent and timely disbursement of funds for national sports teams representing Nigeria on the continental stage.

  • AFCON Crisis: Will Nigerian Government Pay Super Eagles’ Bonuses Before Friday to Avert Algeria Match Boycott?

    Tension has erupted in the Nigerian camp at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after reports emerged that the Super Eagles threatened to boycott their crucial match against Algeria unless outstanding bonuses are paid by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The situation has triggered urgent intervention from the Federal Government, which now says the players will receive their entitlements by Thursday or Friday at the latest.

    The crisis was first revealed by sports journalist Adepoju Tobi Samuel, who reported that the players had insisted on the full settlement of their match bonuses before travelling to Marrakech for the next fixture. The report was later corroborated by BBC journalist Olúwashínà Okeleji, who confirmed that both players and coaching staff were still awaiting payment.

    “Players and coaching staff of #Nigeria are waiting on #AFCON2025 bonus payments,” Okeleji wrote, sparking widespread concern among fans who feared that administrative lapses could derail Nigeria’s title push.

    In response to the growing backlash, the Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Nkiruka Uzoka-Anite, issued a statement via her verified X account, assuring Nigerians that the matter was being resolved. According to the minister, the Federal Government, working with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), had addressed the foreign exchange bottlenecks that had delayed payments to the players.

    She explained that regulatory and currency conversion hurdles had slowed the disbursement process but confirmed that a fast-track system had now been implemented. “The Federal Government and the CBN have successfully streamlined the foreign exchange processing to ensure our players are rewarded without further delay,” she stated.

    Uzoka-Anite further revealed that group-stage bonuses had already been approved and cleared, and that the final stage of payment was underway. “The final transfers to domiciliary accounts are currently in flight. Players can expect these funds to reflect starting today (Thursday) or tomorrow (Friday),” she said.

    Beyond resolving the immediate crisis, the minister also announced plans to institutionalise a faster and more transparent payment framework for future tournaments. She noted that the new system would ensure predictable and timely disbursements aligned with international best practices, preventing a repeat of the long-standing bonus disputes that have plagued Nigerian football for years.

    The controversy has reignited public debate about athlete welfare, administrative efficiency within the NFF, and the impact of off-field issues on on-field performance. Analysts warn that financial uncertainty at critical moments can distract players and undermine team morale, particularly in high-stakes knockout matches.

    Despite the tension, the government maintains that its priority is the team’s success at AFCON. “Our focus remains entirely on supporting the team’s welfare so they can maintain their incredible momentum in the knockout rounds,” Uzoka-Anite said, concluding with an optimistic message: “We move forward with one goal: Bringing the trophy home!”

    As Nigeria prepares for the decisive clash against Algeria, all eyes remain on whether the promised payments will arrive in time—and whether the crisis will be resolved without disrupting the Super Eagles’ campaign for continental glory.

  • Gombe Government Disburses N14 Million to Families of 7 Deceased Journalists

    The Gombe State Government has disbursed a total of N14 million to the families of seven journalists who lost their lives in a tragic motor accident along the Billiri-Kumo Road.

    The fatal crash occurred on Monday, December 29, 2025, as the journalists were returning from the wedding ceremony of a colleague in Kaltungo Local Government Area.

    Each bereaved family received N2 million from Gombe State Government as financial support to augment burial and related expenses.

    The intervention is part of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s commitment to cushioning the impact of the painful loss on the affected families.

    Presiding over the disbursement exercise on behalf of the Governor, the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi, disclosed that an initial token of support had earlier been provided to the families of the injured victims immediately after the incident.

    He added that the Governor has also assumed full responsibility for the medical treatment and hospital bills of those who sustained injuries and are currently receiving care.

    Professor Njodi reiterated the commitment of the present administration to the welfare of journalists, expressing deep sorrow over the monumental loss to the state and the media profession.

    “Our hearts have been restless since this tragic incident. While we cannot bring back the departed or fully compensate for the loss, His Excellency has approved this support to assist with burial expenses, just as the government has taken full responsibility for the medical bills of those who survived,” he said.

    He stressed that the funds were not compensation, but a gesture of compassion aimed at supporting the families during this difficult period.

    Professor Njodi further conveyed the Governor’s heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), the management of the National Television Authority (NTA) and the entire media community, urging the bereaved families to take solace in the will of Allah.

    Speaking during the event, the National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Alhassan Yahaya Abdullahi, expressed profound appreciation to the Gombe State Government for what he described as a swift, compassionate and unprecedented intervention.

    He noted that the NUJ members nationwide were deeply grateful for the support extended to both the families of the deceased and journalists currently receiving medical treatment.

    Comrade Alhassan Yahaya also called on the Federal Government to fast-track the implementation of life and health insurance schemes for journalists, urging state governments, including Gombe, to key in once the policy is implemented.

    The General Manager of NTA Gombe, Abubakar Adamu, conveyed the appreciation of the Director-General of the NTA, Salihu Dembos to Governor Inuwa Yahaya for his generousity and compassion stating that the entire NTA family across the country holds the Gombe State Government in high esteem for the gesture.

    Speaking on behalf of the bereaved families, Barrister Abubakar Ahmed praised Governor Inuwa Yahaya for the gesture, describing the intervention as the first of its kind in the history of the state.

    “This support of N2 million to each family will go a long way in addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of the dependants. We truly lack words to express our gratitude. May Allah reward the Governor and his administration abundantly,” he said.

  • Disability Groups Accuse Benue Government Officials of Diverting ₦50 Million Presidential Empowerment Fund, Petition EFCC

    The Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) in Benue State has accused state government officials, including the Principal Special Assistant on Special Needs, Anshe Bemshima, and Special Adviser on Women Affairs, Scholastica Ben-Sor, of misappropriating ₦50 million Presidential Empowerment Fund intended for persons with disabilities. Only 42 of the 250 intended beneficiaries reportedly received partial payments of ₦150,000 instead of the full ₦200,000, with N50,000 allegedly deducted under the pretext of a “free medical outreach.” JONAPWD petitioned the EFCC, ICPC, and DSS, urging investigation, recovery of funds, prosecution of culpable officials, and full disbursement of the grant to the rightful beneficiaries.

  • Gov. Buni Approves Scholarships for 28,346 Yobe Students, Doubles All Allowances

    Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni , has approved the disbursement of scholarships and bursaries to 28,346 Yobe State indigenes currently studying in tertiary institutions across Nigeria, in what has been described as one of the most far-reaching educational interventions by any state government in recent times.

    The approval underscores the Governor’s unwavering commitment to youth empowerment, access to education, and human capital development as critical pillars for sustainable growth.

    According to the Executive Secretary of the Yobe State Scholarship Board (YSSB), Dr. Kagu Abubakar, Yobe State University recorded the highest number of beneficiaries with 7,636 successful applicants, reflecting the steady growth of the institution and the increasing enrolment of Yobe indigenes in higher education. Students of other universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and specialized institutions across the country are also captured in the comprehensive beneficiary list.

    Dr. Kagu disclosed that Governor Buni has further approved a 100 percent increment in all categories of scholarship payments, effectively doubling what students previously received.
    Under the new payment regime, PGDE, Master’s and PhD students will now receive ₦110,000, up from the former ₦55,000.

    While undergraduate students will receive ₦46,000, as against ₦23,000 previously paid. HND, NCE and National Diploma students will now receive ₦34,000, instead of the former ₦17,000, while students pursuing other Diploma, Certificate and Consultancy programmes will now receive ₦26,000, up from ₦13,000.

    The increment, he noted, is in recognition of the prevailing economic realities and the rising cost of education across the country.

    To ensure transparency, efficiency and smooth implementation of the exercise, the Scholarship Board recently convened a joint stakeholders’ meeting involving representatives of the House Committee on Higher Education, officials of the Ministry of Higher Education, Youth and Sports, education Focal Persons, as well as student leaders from various tertiary institutions.

    The meeting reviewed the operational framework, harmonized schedules and addressed logistical issues to guarantee the successful execution of the exercise nationwide.

    In line with established procedures, Dr. Kagu stated that the names, admission details and academic records of all successful beneficiaries will be forwarded to their respective institutions and recognized student bodies, while a comprehensive timetable for the disbursement exercise will be officially released to guide students and institutions accordingly. This, he emphasized, is to prevent congestion, ensure orderliness and eliminate sharp practices.

    The Executive Secretary conveyed the gratitude and appreciation of students, parents and guardians across Yobe State to Governor Mai Mala Buni for his continued and consistent investment in education.

    He noted that the scholarship scheme has remained a major source of relief for thousands of families, improved school retention rates, and strengthened access to tertiary education for indigent but brilliant students across the state.

    Dr. Kagu assured that the Office of the Public Relations Officer of the Yobe State Scholarship Board will continue to provide regular updates to all schools, beneficiaries and the general public on developments relating to the exercise, stressing that the Board remains committed to accountability, transparency and timely service delivery in the execution of its mandate.

  • Strike: ASUU disputes FG’s claim of N50bn payment.

    The Academic Staff Union of Universities says it has not received the N50bn revitalisation fund the Federal Government recently claimed to have released, insisting that none of the union’s demands has been met ahead of its National Executive Council meeting slated for November 8 and 9, 2025.
    ASUU stated this in a Wednesday statement signed by Prof. Jurbe Molwus, who recalled that the union suspended its two-week warning strike in good faith after assurances from senior government officials that concrete proposals would be brought to the table.

    “As ASUU mobilises for its National Executive Council meeting scheduled to hold on the 8th and 9th November, 2025, we expect that some of the outstanding entitlements such as 3.5 months withheld salaries, 25/35% wage award arrears, promotion arrears, unpaid salaries of some members etc. would have been paid to university workers by now. But all we get is press releases by the Honourable Minister of Education. What we need is credit alerts and not misleading releases.”

    He noted that the Federal Government’s recent announcement of a N50bn disbursement had not translated into payment to universities.

    “It is sad to further note that even the N50bn revitalisation fund the FGN claimed to have released some weeks ago is yet to reach the universities. We do not know why the Minister of Education is still keeping it.”

    Molwus also faulted comments by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, claiming that N2.3bn had been released to settle salary and promotion arrears.

    “Again, the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Maruf Alausa, was quoted to have said in a recent release that ‘The FG has released N2.3bn to clear salary and promotion arrears in all federal universities’.

    “But, as we speak right now, the university workers have yet to receive any such alerts. So, the minister’s claim of clearing backlog may be in the fiction of his imagination. He also claimed to have strengthened academic staff welfare, and we ask how?”

    Molwus argued that the funds cited by the minister were insufficient.

  • FG Releases ₦2.3BN to Clear Salary, Promotion Arrears In Federal Universities.

    The Federal Government has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to revitalizing Nigeria’s tertiary education sector through decisive fiscal interventions, policy reforms, and sustained dialogue with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other university-based unions.

    The Honourable Minister of Education, Chief (Dr.) Maruf Olatunji Alausa, FAMedS, CON, disclosed this while providing updates on ongoing engagements with ASUU and other tertiary institution unions.

    He stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains resolute in his determination to resolve all lingering welfare and funding issues in a transparent, fair, and sustainable manner.

    Dr. Alausa announced that the Federal Government has released N2.3 billion, representing Batch 8 salary and promotion arrears to universities across the country.

    The disbursements, processed through the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), reflect the Tinubu Administration’s resolve to clear inherited backlogs and enhance the welfare of academic and non-academic staff in the tertiary education sector.

    According to him, “A total of N2.311 billion, representing Batch 8 salary and promotion arrears, has been released through the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation to universities. Benefiting institutions should begin to receive payment alerts anytime from now.”

    He further disclosed that the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Finance and the OAGF, is finalising the release of third-party non-statutory deductions and pension remittances to NUPEMCO, expected to be completed in the coming days.

    Dr. Alausa added that the government has approved the full mainstreaming of the Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) into university staff salaries beginning from 2026, noting that this will ensure prompt, predictable, and sustainable payments going forward.

He stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains resolute in his determination to resolve all lingering welfare and funding issues in a transparent, fair, and sustainable manner. Dr. Alausa announced that the Federal Government has released N2.3 billion, representing Batch 8 salary and promotion arrears to universities across the country. The disbursements, processed through the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), reflect the Tinubu Administration’s resolve to clear inherited backlogs and enhance the welfare of academic and non-academic staff in the tertiary education sector. According to him, “A total of N2.311 billion, representing Batch 8 salary and promotion arrears, has been released through the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation to universities. Benefiting institutions should begin to receive payment alerts anytime from now.” He further disclosed that the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Finance and the OAGF, is finalising the release of third-party non-statutory deductions and pension remittances to NUPEMCO, expected to be completed in the coming days. Dr. Alausa added that the government has approved the full mainstreaming of the Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) into university staff salaries beginning from 2026, noting that this will ensure prompt, predictable, and sustainable payments going forward.

  • FG Disburses N330bn to 8.5m poor Households Finance Minister, Wale Edun.

    The Federal Government has disbursed N330 billion in cash transfers to 8.5 million poor and vulnerable households under its renewed social protection programme.

    Finance Minister Wale Edun, speaking in Abuja, said the initiative resumed after earlier delays caused by integrating biometric data with the National Identity Number (NIN). 

    He noted that 8.5 million of the targeted 15 million households have received at least one tranche of the N25,000 monthly payment, with some getting up to three. Each is expected to receive three tranches, while the remaining 7 million households will be paid before year-end.

    “This safety net to help people cope with rising prices is now firmly back on track,” Edun said, adding that it lays the foundation for a modern social protection system promised by President Tinubu.

    Funmi Olotu, head of the National Social Safety Net Coordinating Office (NASSCO), explained that shifting to digital disbursements tied to NIN verification slowed payments but was key for transparency. “Mr President said no more traditional payments pay directly into accounts,” she said. 

    Over 10.2 million NINs have been collected, with 9.6 million verified by NIMC.

    She added that the programme uses the National Social Register (NSR), which holds data on over 70 million Nigerians in 19.7 million households, built with World Bank support using 40 socioeconomic indicators. “The NSR is not political. Neither the Minister nor the President can add names,” she stressed.

    An executive order now mandates that all government interventions draw from the NSR. 

    The conditional cash transfer scheme, launched by President Tinubu on October 17, 2023, targets 15 million households as part of efforts to cushion hardship and reduce inequality.

  • Otunba Bamidele Akingboye, the Social Democratic Party governorship candidate in the 2024 Ondo State election has died at the age of 60.

    His Personal Assistant and Media Adviser, Oyeniyi Iwakun, confirmed that he passed away on Thursday at his residence in Victoria Garden City, Lagos. Born on April 2, 1964, Akingboye was a businessman, philanthropist & community leader.

    He served as Chief Executive Officer of Benshore Maritime & Clog Oil Systems, as well as President of WeAfrica Group. He also held the traditional title of Olowomeye I of Ikaleland. He is survived by his wives, children, grandchildren & siblings. The family said burial arrangements will be announced later.

    In his tribute, Ondo SDP Chairman, Ebenezer Akinbuli, described Akingboye as a visionary leader committed to service. “During his campaign, he shared his vision for a brighter Ondo State, anchored on good governance, social justice & sustainable development. His passion and leadership inspired many & his legacy will endure” Akinbuli said.

    He stressed that the Federal Government has not borrowed from local banks since the beginning of the year, underscoring the impact of the improved fiscal position.

    The Presidency further explained that the revenue surge has boosted allocations at the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), with disbursements to states and local governments exceeding ₦2 trillion in July for the first time in history.

    This, it said, has provided subnational governments with greater resources to fund food security, infrastructure, and social services. It, however, admitted that despite the record revenue, allocations are still insufficient to meet the administration’s ambitions in education, health, and infrastructure.

    Highlighting the shift away from oil dependency, the Presidency disclosed that non-oil revenues contributed ₦15.69 trillion of the total, accounting for three out of every four naira collected. While inflation and foreign exchange revaluation played a role, it said the growth was mainly reform-driven — through Customs automation, digitised filings, tighter enforcement, and expanded compliance.

  • How Ex-Banker’s Salary Fraud Scheme Was Exposed After Years of Quiet Theft.

    A former banker secretly stole millions over several years by shaving small amounts from employees’ salaries during payroll processing.

    He inserted his own account number into salary schedules, ensuring clients still saw the full bulk payment leaving their accounts, which prevented suspicion.

    A shocking story has surfaced online about how a former banker allegedly stole millions over several years by exploiting salary schedules without raising immediate suspicion.

    According to a viral narration, the banker devised a scheme that relied on the fact that most employees rarely pay attention to the exact last digits of their salaries. When a client would send a salary schedule of, say, ₦500 million for disbursement, the banker would discreetly shave off between ₦300 and ₦900 from each employee’s pay. He would then insert an additional line with his own account number, pocketing the accumulated funds.

    The scam was effective for years due to two key factors:

    The client always saw the full ₦500 million deducted from their account, leaving no immediate red flags.

    Employees never noticed the missing few hundreds, as most didn’t track the exact last digits of their salaries.

    Month after month, the ex-banker raked in millions and lived a flamboyant lifestyle in Lagos. However, the scheme eventually unraveled, and he was caught, adding to the long list of disgraced bankers who ended up behind bars in Kirikiri Prison.

  • FG Claims N419bn Disbursed to Nearly 6m Nigerians, Promises Another N54bn Payout in August.

    The Federal Government says it has so far disbursed N419 billion under its conditional cash transfer programme, reaching nearly six million Nigerians.

    Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Tanko Sununu, disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday. According to him, the initiative targets vulnerable citizens captured in the National Social Register, with 71 percent of beneficiaries from the North and 29 percent from the South.

    “In August, we are going to reach 2.19 million people. So far, N419 billion has been disbursed to 5.968 million Nigerians. By the end of this month, another N54 billion will be paid to 2.119 million beneficiaries,” Sununu said.

    He explained that each beneficiary will receive N75,000 in total, paid in three tranches of N25,000. The minister added that the government was adopting more transparent measures in the disbursement process.

    “We are moving away from anonymous transfers. Everything will be done publicly. We will release data per state, with details of the amounts and beneficiaries, and the information can be verified with the World Bank,” he noted.

    Nigeria’s conditional cash transfer programme has faced criticisms in the past over poor accountability and alleged corruption.
