Pls, help Amplify the menace happening in Owerri. Transport Unions are compulsory two passengers at the front seat of the mini bus in Owerri. This is wrong as we've engaged several of their unions to no avail. We must stop them now. Front seat should be for one person, not two!

The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has questioned the continued absence of President Bola Tinubu from Nigeria, 22 days after the Presidency announced that the President was embarking on a three-week annual vacation.

In a statement issued on Monday and titled, “Who is in charge of Nigeria?”, the former Vice President cited Section 145 of the Constitution, which provides for the transfer of presidential functions when the President proceeds on vacation.

The condition of one of Nigeria’s most critical highways has been getting worse for years and recently it ground to a complete halt for days.

PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES COMPREHENSIVE FORENSIC AUDIT OF IPPIS, FEDERAL AGENCIES, MINISTRIES

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Taiwo Oyedele, to oversee and coordinate a comprehensive forensic audit of Federal Government systems.

The audit will include a review of the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), Federal Government agencies, and their administration and internal controls.

President Tinubu’s directive follows the Federal Executive Council's resolution on August 19, 2026, in response to findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on “fake agencies”, ghost workers, and other control failures.

The exercise will establish the nature and extent of weaknesses in Government’s control system, and determine how such weaknesses have been exploited.

The review will comprise two interconnected components.

The first will focus on a forensic audit of Government systems, particularly IPPIS and related payroll, personnel, pension and financial-management platforms. It will examine reported cases of ghost workers and payroll fraud, reconcile the figures identified by the ICPC, trace how fictitious or ineligible persons were enrolled, and review access, identity, biometric and bank-account controls.

The exercise will also examine the interfaces between IPPIS and other government platforms, including GIFMIS, Remita, the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and Sub-TSA, to determine whether fraud resulted from system defects, process failures, inadequate segregation of duties or deliberate circumvention.

The second component of the audit will cover all Federal Government agencies, departments, commissions, councils, parastatals and other government bodies. It will establish a definitive inventory of such bodies and verify their legal basis, while examining how entities obtain official recognition, budgetary consideration, correspondence privileges, office facilities and access to government systems.

The exercise will assess governance, procurement, internal-audit, and oversight controls across Government to close systemic weaknesses that could allow irregular entities or persons to access public resources.

President Tinubu directed that the exercise be conducted with the highest standards of independence, professionalism and forensic integrity.

The audit team will have access to relevant government systems and records. It will collaborate with the ICPC to ensure that the review complements all ongoing investigations, prosecutions and recoveries.

President Tinubu expects the exercise to go beyond identifying individual cases of fraud or administrative failure by strengthening the architecture of Government, closing systemic loopholes, improving data verification and reconciliation, reinforcing accountability, and ensuring that only duly constituted entities and eligible personnel have access to Government resources.

The exercise underscores the President’s commitment to strengthening transparency, accountability, fiscal governance and institutional integrity across the Federal Government.

May their home be blessed with enduring happiness, mutual understanding, and abundant blessings.

INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION

PRESS STATEMENT

SUBMISSION OF POLITICAL PARTIES' MEMBERSHIP REGISTERS

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wishes to inform Nigerians and stakeholders in the electoral process that all 22 registered political parties have successfully submitted their membership registers to the Commission in compliance with the Electoral Act 2026. The submission followed the extension granted by the Commission after political parties raised concerns during a meeting on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, regarding the timeline provided in the Revised Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election. The Commission is pleased to note that all registered parties submitted their registers as of 8th May 2026, two days before the extended deadline.

Following a meeting with political parties, the Commission, in a press statement issued on the 27th of March 2026, adjusted the deadline for the submission of party registers from 21st April 2026 to 10th May 2026 to align with the provisions of Section 77(4) of the Electoral Act 2026 and the actual dates fixed by political parties for their primaries. Political parties were accordingly allowed to conduct their primaries within the approved period from 23rd April 2026 to 30th May 2026, while the register of party members was required to be submitted to the Commission not later than 21 days before the conduct of their respective primaries.

INEC wishes to state that all registered political parties complied with the requirement within the extended timeframe and will subject the submitted registers to the necessary verification processes in line with the law. The Commission remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible and inclusive elections.

Imo is writing a new chapter in its digital story. The Imo Digital City, one of the most ambitious tech projects under Governor @Hope_Uzodimma1 is now 90% complete.

Speaking during the state’s X-Space session, Commissioner Dr Chimezie Amadi explained that global technology partners are already working with the state to shape what will become a hub for digital learning, innovation, and startup growth.

With advanced ICT labs and creative studios, the centre is set to empower young people with global-standard skills and attract investment. As completion draws near, Imo is positioning itself as a new digital powerhouse in Nigeria.

The FAAN National Aviation Conference reinforced my conviction that Nigeria’s evolving aviation landscape is central to national growth. The conversations on air connectivity, inter-modal integration, and public-private partnerships highlight the urgency of building an aviation ecosystem aligned with global standards of safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

In my goodwill message at the conference, I noted that these principles guide our approach in Imo State, where aviation is a core economic enabler. By upgrading the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport (SMICA), we are positioning the State as a regional logistics hub. Coupled with the Orashi Special Energy Free Trade Zone, this creates a seamless investment corridor linking energy, agriculture, and digital services to global markets.

With modernized infrastructure, improved power reliability, and streamlined land administration, Imo offers an environment ready for scale. I see immense opportunity for investors to join us in shaping a future of accelerated, aviation-driven growth.
