Quitting Nigeria will not absolve Meta of liability, FCCPC says - My Opinion On This

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has hit back at Meta Platforms Inc, warning the tech giant that its threat to exit Nigeria will not erase its legal responsibilities or liabilities under the Nigerian law. 


Meta said earlier today, May 3, that it “may be forced to effectively shut down the Facebook and Instagram services in Nigeria in order to mitigate the risk of enforcement measures.” 

Meta’s warning came after it lost a legal bid last week to overturn a ₦220 million fine imposed by the FCCPC for violations of data protection and consumer rights laws. 
 

Reacting to Meta's threat, FCCPC, in a statement on Saturday, May 3, described Meta’s statement as “a calculated” move aimed at “inducing negative public reaction and potentially pressuring the FCCPC to reconsider its decision.” 

FCCPC said that Meta threatening to leave Nigeria does not absolve the company of liabilities for the outcome of a judicial process. 

“These infringements included denying Nigerians the right to control their personal data, transferring and sharing Nigerian user data without authorisation, discriminating against Nigerian users compared to users in other jurisdictions and abusing their dominant market position by forcing unfair privacy policies,” FCCPC wrote on X. 

“Interestingly, Meta had been fined for similar breaches in Texas ($1.5b) and only recently was asked to pay $1.3 Billion for violating E.U. Data Privacy Rules. Elsewhere in India, South Korea, France and Australia, Meta had faced varying penalties for similar breaches. But Meta never resorted to the blackmail of threatening to exit those countries. They obeyed.”

INEC moves to legalise voting without PVC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has expressed readiness to allow eligible Nigerians without Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to vote in the 2027 general elections, provided that the current electoral laws are amended to accommodate such a change.
 
Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, confirmed the commission's position in an interview with The PUNCH. He noted that while the electoral body is open to expanding voter access through the use of technology, it cannot proceed without legal backing.
 
“It is not our stand alone that is important,” Oyekanmi said. “Equally critical is what the subsisting law says. While the commission is favourably disposed to the recommendation by stakeholders—that PVCs alone should not be the only criterion for voting at an election—the law needs to be amended to reflect it.”
 
The development comes on the heels of remarks by INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who spoke during a quarterly consultative meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners in December 2024. Yakubu said that the commission was considering alternatives to PVCs to improve efficiency and reduce electoral fraud.
 
“The commission also believes that with the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, the use of the Permanent Voters’ Cards as the sole means of identification for voter accreditation on Election Day should be reviewed,” Yakubu said.
 
“Those who already have the PVCs can still use them to vote, but going forward, computer-generated slips issued to the voter or even downloaded from the Commission’s website will suffice for voter accreditation. This will not only save cost, it will also eliminate the issues around the collection of PVCs and the diabolical practice of buying up the cards from voters in order to disenfranchise them,” he added.
 
INEC's proposal has sparked conversations among electoral stakeholders and reform advocates, many of whom see the move as a step toward a more inclusive and technologically advanced electoral process. However, Oyekanmi emphasized that any significant procedural change must comply with the existing legal framework.

Education minister calls for NYSC to be extended to two years
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has disclosed that the Federal Ministry of Education is proposing an extension of the national service duration from one to two years.

The proposal was made public in a statement issued on Saturday by the NYSC’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Caroline Embu.

The development was revealed following a visit by NYSC Director-General Olakunle Nafiu to the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, in Abuja on Friday. The visit forms part of broader reform efforts aimed at tackling certificate racketeering and improving the integrity of the NYSC scheme.

In 2024, a federal investigation uncovered that approximately 22,789 Nigerians had submitted fake foreign degree certificates to enrol in the NYSC programme. This revelation triggered a nationwide crackdown and a series of reforms to sanitize the system.

Alausa highlighted the ministry’s ongoing efforts to digitise the verification process for foreign-trained Nigerian graduates. He also commended the NYSC for its digitisation of the mobilisation process, a move he said has significantly curbed certificate fraud.

The education minister reportedly advocated for the extension of the NYSC service year to two years, stating that it would allow for an expansion of the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme for corps members. “You have done so well as an organisation. Let NYSC give people more opportunity to become job creators that will meet the needs of the country,” Alausa said during the meeting.

Responding to the proposal, the NYSC DG reaffirmed the scheme’s commitment to aligning with federal government directives. “We are also trying to reform the scheme to conform with the present national needs,” Nafiu stated.

He also called for the creation of a central database to track Nigerian youths travelling abroad for undergraduate studies. According to him, such a database would provide the government with a reliable record of students and help eliminate the prevalence of fake graduates.

In a statement released on Saturday, March 8, the Senate leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, said the Upper Chamber suspended Senator Natasha specifically for flagrantly disobeying Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Senate Standing Orders 2023 (As Amended) and her unparliamentary behaviour during its plenaries and proceedings.
 
Recall that the Senate on Thursday, March 6, handed down a six-month suspension on Senator Natasha.

Months after he quit LP, Okonkwo has now been invited for a meeting with Atiku Abubakar, the PDP's presidential candidate in the last election. 

Okonkwo shared photos of him and Atiku and wrote: “lt's a privilege and honour to be invited by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar for a consultative meeting on how best to chart a new course for our beloved country. The situation in Nigeria today requires the cooperation of every well-meaning Nigerian to ensure that our country is restored to its path of greatness.”

The Minister of Interior, Dr, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo says Nigeria’s Visa on Arrival practice is not being scrapped, but rather upgraded to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.
 
Dr Tunji-Ojo stated this at a meeting with the Director General of the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), Princess Zarah Audu in Abuja.
 
According to the Minister, travellers would still be able to apply online for short stay visas, with approvals being granted within 24 to 48 hours. He added that once approved, the visa will be sent to the applicant’s email, eliminating the need for a physical sticker upon arrival.
 
Dr. Tunji-Ojo said this upgrade builds upon the existing online approval system, streamlining the process and enabling travellers to receive their approvals ahead of time.

A Nigerian woman, Adesuwa has revealed that she quit her marriage of one year over her ex-husband's infidelity.
 
Adesuwa, who disclosed this under a LIB post on Tuesday said her ex-husband did ‘rubbish’ without remorse but the last straw that broke the camel's back was when he impregnated her cousin.
 
“I left my marriage of one year because a man cannot make me lose my sanity. This man would do rubbish and tell me it's normal. He even went as far as having it with my cousin and impregnated her. Self love is very important for women. My life and happiness will not be centered around a man. Thank God gave me a daughter and I will teach her how to love herself so much,” she wrote.

The label of Tinubu favouring Yorubas in security setup does not fit – Presidency denies claim of Tinubu favouring South-West in appointments

The label of Tinubu favouring Yorubas in security setup does not fit ? Presidency denies claim of Tinubu favouring South-West in appointment

The Nigerian Presidency has officially denied accusations that the current administration is favoring the South West in key security appointments. Following the appointment of Major General Olufemi Oluyede as Acting Chief of Army Staff, social media erupted with claims accusing President Bola Tinubu of "Yorubanisation," suggesting a preference for appointing individuals from the Yoruba ethnic group over others.

Oluyede’s appointment came as General Tahoreed Lagbaja, the Chief of Army Staff, is reportedly abroad for medical treatment. Critics on social media argued that there are equally qualified generals from other regions who could have temporarily filled the role, rather than another officer from the South West.

Addressing these claims, Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to the President on Public Communications and Orientation, published a list detailing the regional distribution of security agency heads under Tinubu’s administration. According to the list, the North West has the highest representation with eight appointees, followed by the South West with five, and North Central with four. The North East has three representatives, while South South and South East regions each have one appointee.

"Facts do not lie. Below we see laid bare the facts about the regional outlook of President Tinubu’s appointments within 20 security agencies. The label of him favoring Yorubas in the Security set up does not fit. Nigeria we hail thee!" Dare stated in his post, highlighting that the data counters the notion of ethnic favoritism.
