Kwaga of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The Vice-Chancellor of ABU, Prof. Adamu Ahmed, described NAPRI as “too strategic to fail in its mandate,” noting that the institute had faced significant challenges in fulfilling its core objectives. Prof. Ahmed said the university declared a state of emergency on NAPRI to address the decline in its statutory functions, stressing that the committee’s assignment was crucial to the success of the reform process. The committee is expected to design and oversee comprehensive reforms that would revitalise NAPRI’s core functions and restore its place as a key contributor to Nigeria’s livestock development goals. He charged the committee to submit an inception report within two weeks, outlining its reform framework and implementation strategy, and assured full support from the university management. The Vice-Chancellor commended Prof. Kwaga’s leadership and expertise, describing his role as pivotal to the transformation effort. In his response, Prof. Kwaga expressed appreciation to the Vice-Chancellor and the university management for the confidence reposed in the committee, assuring their readiness to deliver within the stipulated six-month timeframe. Members of the committee include Prof. I. U. Abubakar, former Executive Director of the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), and Prof. M. K. Othman, former Executive Director of the National Agricultural Extension Research and Liaison Services (NAERLS). Others are Prof. Tunji Iyiola-Tunji of NAERLS, Prof. A. K. B. Sackey of ABU’s Department of Veterinary Medicine, and Prof. Abdul Bakura, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture.

Mbah Leads Enugu Political Shift as He Dumps PDP for Ruling APC

/

Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has officially announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), in what observers describe as a major political shift in the South-East. The governor made the announcement during a state-wide broadcast on Tuesday morning, saying the move was aimed at aligning Enugu State with the federal government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “This move became necessary to connect our dear state to the central government,” Mbah declared, emphasizing that his administration’s top priority remains the development and prosperity of Enugu people. Read Also: Kwankwaso’s Conditions Unrealistic, Says Ganduje-Led Kano APC He commended President Tinubu for implementing policies that, according to him, have brought “massive support and benefits” to the state since the start of the current administration. “Under President Tinubu, Enugu State has enjoyed unprecedented attention and support from the Federal Government. We cannot afford to remain isolated from the centre,” he said. Governor Mbah’s defection did not come alone, as he was joined by members of the Enugu State House of Assembly, local government chairmen, councillors, and other key political stakeholders in the state. His exit marks another major blow to the PDP in the South-East, following a series of defections to the ruling APC in recent months. According to reliable sources, Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, is reportedly preparing to join the APC soon, having concluded arrangements to formalize his move. Earlier this year, Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, and Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, also defected to the APC with their cabinets and political appointees—signalling what analysts describe as a “realignment of forces” ahead of the 2026 elections. Governor Mbah’s defection is expected to significantly reshape the political landscape in the South-East, a region that has long served as a stronghold of the PDP. A formal reception to welcome Governor Mbah into the APC will take place in Enugu on Tuesday, with Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, several governors, and other top party figures expected to attend.

New Electoral Bill Targets November 2026 Elections, Faster Tribunal Process

/

Nigeria’s next general elections may hold in November 2026 if the new proposal by the National Assembly to amend the Electoral Act sails through. The proposal, part of the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2025, was unveiled on Monday during a public hearing jointly organized by the Senate and House Committees on Electoral Matters in Abuja. According to lawmakers, the adjustment aims to ensure that all election petitions are resolved before the next handover date on May 29, 2027. Read Also: Council of State Approves Prof. Joash Amupitan as New INEC Chairman The draft amendment reads: “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.” This means the elections would now fall around November 2026, roughly six months before the end of the current administration’s tenure. Chairman of the House Committee on Electoral Matters, Hon. Adebayo Balogun, said the move is designed to “ensure that all manner of election litigations are dispensed with before the swearing in of winners.” He explained that the National Assembly also plans to amend Sections 285 and 139 of the 1999 Constitution to shorten the duration of election petitions — reducing tribunal judgments from 180 to 90 days, appellate court decisions from 90 to 60 days, and ensuring the entire process does not exceed 185 days. Other key provisions in the proposal include early voting for specific categories of Nigerians — such as security personnel, INEC staff, accredited journalists, and observers — at least 14 days before election day. Significantly, the amendment also seeks to make electronic transmission of results mandatory, with penalties for non-compliance. The proposed Section 60(5) reads: “The Presiding Officer shall transmit the results, including the total number of accredited voters, to the next level of collation both electronically and manually.” Officers who issue unstamped ballot papers or result sheets could face a one-year jail term or a ₦1 million fine. Stakeholders, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), represented by Prof. Abdullahi Zuru, endorsed the proposed reforms — particularly the electronic voting and compulsory e-transmission clauses — describing them as vital to strengthening transparency and reducing post-election disputes. In July, a similar proposal to amend the 1999 Constitution and hold all elections on the same day in 2027 sparked mixed reactions. While opposition parties such as the PDP, Labour Party, ADC, and NNPP supported the idea, the ruling APC rejected it, warning of possible chaos. The initiative, championed by the House Committee on Constitution Review chaired by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, emerged from broader consultations held across the six geo-political zones. If passed, the bill will mandate INEC to conduct presidential, governorship, National Assembly, and state assembly elections on a single day — a move projected to cut costs and reduce post-election bandwagon effects.

Fuel Price Hits ₦992 as NNPCL Adjusts Pump Rates Across Nigeria

/

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has increased the pump price of petrol from ₦865 to ₦992 per litre, triggering fresh concern among motorists and consumers nationwide. As of the time of filing this report, the company has yet to release any official statement explaining the reason behind the sudden adjustment. During visits to several NNPC retail outlets, The Nation observed fuel attendants recalibrating their pumps to reflect the new rate. Read Also: NNPCL Drills Four Oil Wells in Kolmani, Constructs Gas Plants in Kogi At the NNPC filling station along Ogunusi Road, Ojodu Berger, attendants confirmed they were instructed to update the pump price to ₦992 per litre. However, checks at Ibafo along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway revealed that NNPC outlets in the area still displayed the old price of ₦875 per litre but were not dispensing fuel to motorists. Most NNPC stations visited in Lagos and Ogun States were also not selling fuel as of Sunday evening, sparking frustration among commuters and transport operators. Although NNPCL has not provided an official reason for the price hike, industry analysts speculate that rising global crude oil prices and foreign exchange volatility could be contributing factors.

ASUU Shuts Down Public Universities Nationwide Over Unmet Demands

/

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has officially declared a two-week comprehensive warning strike, marking yet another disruption in Nigeria’s public university system. The announcement was made on Sunday by the National President of the union, Professor Chris Piwuna, during a press briefing held at the University of Abuja. According to the ASUU president, the decision followed the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum earlier issued to the Federal Government on September 28, 2025. He stated that the strike would commence at midnight on Monday, October 13, 2025, and would involve the total withdrawal of services from all public universities across the country. Read Also: Experts, Scholars Chart Path for Zero-Waste Leather Production at NILEST Conference “Compatriots of the press, it goes without saying that there is nothing sufficient on ground to stop the implementation of the ASUU-NEC’s resolution to embark on a two-week warning strike at the expiry of the 14-day notice given on the 28th September 2025,” Professor Piwuna declared. “Consequently, all branches of ASUU are hereby directed to withdraw their services with effect from midnight on Monday, the 13th October, 2025. The warning strike shall be total and comprehensive as agreed at the last NEC meeting.” ASUU, formed in 1978 to represent the interests and welfare of university lecturers in Nigeria, has been in constant dispute with the Federal Government over issues of funding, welfare, and the implementation of agreements reached as far back as 2009. Education analysts have expressed concerns that the fresh industrial action could further derail the already fragile academic calendar, especially for students who are yet to recover from previous disruptions. Some institutions had only recently resumed following delays linked to unpaid salaries and infrastructural challenges. The latest standoff comes despite ongoing negotiations between the Federal Government and the university-based unions. On Wednesday, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, revealed that the administration was in the final phase of talks with ASUU and other unions to resolve outstanding issues relating to university funding and staff welfare. Dr. Alausa explained that the government had made significant progress by releasing ₦50 billion for Earned Academic Allowances (EAA) and earmarking another ₦150 billion in the 2025 budget for needs assessment in public universities. He said the funds would be released in three tranches as part of efforts to address ASUU’s demands and stabilize the education sector. However, the union insists that the government’s actions have not matched its promises. Many lecturers have argued that the delay in implementing key aspects of the 2009 ASUU-FGN Agreement and the continued use of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) have worsened their plight. Students across various campuses have expressed worry over the renewed strike, describing it as a major setback to their academic progress. A 400-level student of the University of Lagos, identified as Tolu, said, “We are tired of this constant back and forth. Every time there’s progress, another strike begins, and it affects our graduation timelines.” Education rights advocates have urged the Federal Government to prioritize university reforms and ensure that the recurrent cycle of strikes comes to an end. According to them, the government must strengthen communication with stakeholders to rebuild trust in Nigeria’s higher education system. Observers note that the strike could worsen the ongoing brain drain in the sector, as more lecturers may seek opportunities abroad due to poor working conditions. Nigeria has already recorded the exit of over 300 professors from public universities in the last two years. University managements across the country have started issuing circulars directing students to vacate campuses pending further instructions. The National Universities Commission (NUC) is expected to meet with stakeholders this week to assess the situation and explore possible resolutions. Meanwhile, the ASUU leadership maintains that the warning strike is not an end in itself but a call for government accountability and action. Professor Piwuna emphasized that the union would review its position after the two-week period, depending on the government’s response. “We have waited long enough, and our members have endured enough hardship. This warning strike is to show our seriousness in demanding that the government fulfill its obligations,” he added. Education experts have cautioned that unless urgent steps are taken, the strike could extend beyond two weeks, causing further instability in Nigeria’s struggling tertiary education sector.

Food Waivers Threaten Northern Agriculture, Says Wali

/

Veteran labour leader and development advocate, Comrade Mustapha Nuhu Wali, mni, has warned that the Federal Government’s decision to grant ₦97 billion worth of duty waivers on imported food could have devastating effects on Northern Nigeria’s agricultural economy. In a statement issued on Friday in Kano, Wali described the policy as a “short-term political fix” that undermines decades of resilience, self-reliance, and investment in the region’s agricultural sector. He said while the initiative may temporarily reduce food prices in urban centres like Lagos and Abuja, it has already triggered economic hardship among farmers in the North, particularly in states such as Kano, Sokoto, Zaria, Borno, and Benue. Read Also: Wali Hosts Annual Maulud, Calls for Unity, Prayers and Emulation of Prophet’s Virtues “Farmers already struggling with insecurity, high costs of fertilizer and fuel, now face unprofitable markets as cheap imports flood the nation,” he said. Wali compared the policy to Nigeria’s past economic missteps, including the 1986 Structural Adjustment Programme and the rice import era of the 2000s, arguing that both weakened local capacity and increased dependency on imports. He expressed concern that many Northern states had failed to invest their increased federal allocations from fuel subsidy removal in revitalising agriculture. “Dams and irrigation systems such as Tiga, Bagauda, and Danbatta in Kano have deteriorated, while similar facilities in Sokoto, Kebbi, and Borno remain in disrepair,” he lamented. According to Wali, only Niger State has announced a meaningful agricultural revitalisation programme. He also noted that without continuity, gains from the Buhari-era Anchor Borrowers’ Programme and rice initiatives are fast eroding. Beyond crops, Wali highlighted the neglect of livestock management and grazing reserves, saying it has worsened communal clashes in states such as Benue, Jos, and Kogi. While commending the creation of a Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, he said the effort would remain symbolic without collaboration and investment from Northern governors. He warned of the social consequences of agricultural decline, including youth migration, unemployment, and rising insecurity. “Many young Northerners have become trapped in menial and undignified jobs in southern cities, while Almajiri children and youth gangs continue to pose a growing threat to social stability,” he stated. Wali urged the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) and other regional institutions to revive their historical roles by promoting regional accountability and mobilising collective action for economic revival. “The North must reclaim its legacy through irrigation renewal, quality education, youth empowerment, and improved security,” he stressed. He called on the Federal Government to reconsider the food import waiver and instead channel efforts into empowering local farmers, expanding irrigation networks, and supporting agro-industrial value chains. “Without this shift, Nigeria risks turning its most fertile region into an economic wasteland and the North’s greatest asset into its deepest vulnerability,” Wali concluded.

Tinubu Extends Presidential Pardon to Macaulay, Vatsa, Farouk Lawan, Others

/

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the pardon of late Herbert Macaulay, late Major General Mamman Vatsa, and Kano politician Farouk Lawan. A statement released on Thursday by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga confirmed that President Tinubu also extended clemency to 82 inmates across the country. Vatsa, who was executed in 1986 after being convicted of treason, received a posthumous pardon from the president. He was among 17 individuals granted presidential clemency following the endorsement of the National Council of State, which convened in Abuja on Thursday. Read Also: Council of State Approves Prof. Joash Amupitan as New INEC Chairman The statement read: “President Tinubu also granted a posthumous pardon to Herbert Macaulay, a Nigerian nationalist and co-founder, along with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC). Macaulay was the party’s first president, which played a pivotal role in Nigeria’s struggle for independence. However, in 1913, Macaulay was believed unjustly convicted by the British colonialists and banned from public office. Macaulay died in 1946, but the stigma of being an ex-convict was not exorcised from his records until now.” The statement further revealed that Tinubu pardoned four former convicts, including former House of Representatives member, Farouk Lawan; Mrs. Anastasia Daniel Nwaobia; Barrister Hussaini Umar; and Ayinla Saadu Alanamu. They were pardoned to enable them to reintegrate into society, having demonstrated sufficient remorse. Also granted clemency were Nweke Francis Chibueze, serving a life sentence for cocaine, and Dr. Nwogu Peters, who had served 12 out of his 17-year sentence for fraud. The President also posthumously pardoned the “Ogoni Nine”: Ken Saro-Wiwa, Saturday Dobee, Nordu Eawo, Daniel Gbooko, Paul Levera, Felix Nuate, Baribor Bera, Barinem Kiobel, and John Kpuine. Additionally, Tinubu awarded national honours to the “Ogoni Four”—Chief Albert Badey, Chief Edward Kobani, Chief Samuel Orage, and Theophilus Orage. In exercising his constitutional prerogative of mercy, President Tinubu granted clemency to 82 inmates and reduced the prison terms of 65 others. He also commuted the death sentences of seven inmates to life imprisonment. According to the statement, the President acted on the recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Committee on the Prerogative of Mercy (PACPM), chaired by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi. Other members of the committee include Chief Akinlolu Olujinmi (CON), Prof. Alkasum Abba, Prof. (Mrs.) Nike Y. Sidikat Ijaiya, Justice Augustine B. Utsaha, and Dr. Onwusoro Maduka, a former Permanent Secretary who serves as Secretary. Institutional representatives are drawn from the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Correctional Service, National Human Rights Commission, Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). The committee presented its final report to the Council of State in Abuja, as required by the constitution. The report revealed that 175 inmates were interviewed, and 62 applications were received on behalf of 119 inmates, making a total of 294 considered cases. Out of these, 82 inmates were recommended for clemency, two for pardon, 65 for term reduction, and seven death row inmates for commutation to life imprisonment. Additionally, 15 ex-convicts were recommended for presidential pardon—11 of them posthumously, including the Ogoni Nine. The Ogoni Four were recommended for posthumous national honours. The committee said it based its recommendations on factors such as old age (60 years and above), terminal illness, youth (16 years and below), long-term imprisonment with good conduct (10 years or more), and completion of at least three years in custody. It added that inmates who had acquired vocational skills, shown remorse, or demonstrated exemplary behaviour while in custody were prioritised. The committee also included Nigerians deported from foreign prisons who had shown reformation and rehabilitation.
